The “Lost” Age of Zalonia

There is a great debate on whether or not there was a lost age. Some medes who have been researching believe they have found things that show that there was a lost age. However, there is nothing written from this age, so they can’t be certain it existed.

Medes and some scholars believe that evolution slowly came about to form all the species. However, because this universe has magical aspects, evolution did not happen the same way as our universe.

The races in the Lost Age included the medes who had beaks like an eagle and stood upright like a man. They were intelligent and lived more than ten times as long as humans. The medes became seekers of knowledge and often kept to themselves. Men had fought wars with the medes because it was men who wanted to gain glory for conquering the lands… a glory that would quickly vanish with their short life spans.

The other race in the Lost Age was the stiminites. The stiminites were frail creatures who loved peace. They weren’t trained in battle, and they were quickly taken over by men and made to be their slaves. For centuries, the stiminites worked for man without a rebellion. One day, a stiminite was born who would stand up to his owners. Little is understood as to why this stiminite had stood up, but he was unlike the other stiminites as he had a human father. He desired the release of his people from the tyranny of man.

In this time, aliens known as Gnonows posed as gods and manipulated humans into doing their work; however, the humans burdened the stiminites with work. The gnonows often visited the planet in those times with flying machines. They are tall, maybe nine feet, with an orange color to their skin with a greenish tint. They have black eyes. They hold a device that contains a red light. The red light is some kind of magic that destroys anything in its path. If stiminites don’t obey the humans, they will destroy both stiminites and the humans as punishment.

The aliens seek purple gems, which are valuable on their own planet. These aliens are also elites on their own planet and use the purple gems in order to control and manipulate their own inhabitants. Not all on this other planet are evil, although a lot of them are susceptible to greed. Humans and stiminites don’t understand the use of the gems.

There were magic users in that time, but it wasn’t centralized like Magdad. Wizards in that time were not trusted among humans. Herbs and other items were the basis of magic. Inner magic was not used until after the Lost Age.

The prehistory is only theorized by some medes, historians, and philosophers, but isn’t accepted as fact.

There was the Kingdom of Mohan, which held stiminite slaves in the northern regions.

The stiminites also partook in building ancient structures that have stood the tests of time and are a mystery to the ages afterward.

They built the Temple of Dreams, which has 9 sides and an entrance on each side. The nine sides represent the 9 planets and 9 constellations.

They also built the mysterious statues in the desert. There are 11 statues that are set up in a symbolic fashion. The rebel stiminites, and medes may have built them to warn people of the gnonows who oppressed the world. The symbols are difficult to decipher and are believed to hold ancient secrets. They seemed to have been built out in the middle of nowhere when they were first discovered in the desert.

Alleged Events

Aliens enslave humans – At first, the aliens wanted to enslave the medes but the medes were difficult and didn’t accept them as gods. Humans were more easily manipulated.

Humans enslave stiminites – The aliens required too much work from humans, so the humans made slaves of the stiminites. Stiminites are a weaker species and usually are afraid to fight back.

The Stiminite Rebellion – One Stiminite stood up to their slave masters. This Stiminite was actually half human and half stiminite, and his mother died giving birth to him. The baby survived and grew up in Ptariah, a human village. He was called Trinan, meaning “half-breed.” He united with a wizard named Zalod and was able to grab a red-beamed weapon and kill an alien. This made him and a human witness wonder if they were really gods. A human who was a former warrior named Braite helped them.

Enraged Aliens Destroy life – There was a time that the humans and stiminites were free after the rebellion. However, the aliens realized that they could no longer control them and destroyed them with a nuclear holocaust. The destruction had no effect on Ruinoneo, but there was nothing living there anyway.

Overview – The History of Zalonia

The Planet is called Aztharian. The most well-known continent is Zalonia, but there are other continents that exist. There are five planets total and three moons that are generally seen from the continent of Zalonia.

No one knows how exactly the universe came about. Not even the Prophet of Old or the Great Historian was given the vision of what came before the universe

In the beginning, there was a giant explosion creating infinite parallel universes. The explosion was created by the Nine Ancient Ones, who organized the universes as they exploded. These universes held magic within them. Some had strong magic, and some had weak magic. If the magic were too strong, the universe would be destroyed by the misuse of power. If the magic were too weak, then people would die from sadness because they would have no hope. The magic of hope is a strong enough magic to keep a universe alive. Our universe is a world with just enough magic, whereas the fantasy world of Aztharian has much stronger magic until the ages come to an end.

Ruinoneo was the first, with no known origin. It wasn’t made by the Nine Ancient Ones, and they don’t even know where it came from. It came before the explosion and, at some point in time, was attached to Aztharian. It existed before the first creation of Aztharian. There was an unknown good species that inhibited it at one time that knew the prophecies of the planet of Aztharian, even though it was not attached to the planet yet. They inscribed the prophecies in a lost language in hopes of saving some. They had a leading prophet known by some as “The Prophet of Old,” but they don’t know their origin. They inhibited the city, but were overcome by the original evil force. However, as they went down, they cursed the city, killing anything alive and bringing the evil force to death along with them. Had they not used this curse, evil would have spread over Aztharian and the universe. The ancient good and the ancient evil combined as one, and everything that came after had aspects of both. These aspects are often denied by most, besides a select few philosophers. This is a parallel to the Yin-Yang

Many medes and some of the other scholars of the world believe that life first came from very small particles that combined together.

Centuries (billions of years according to some of the medes and some scholars) came and passed before the beginning of life came into being. The four elements of earth, fire, water, and air existed, but Spirit had not entered yet. When Spirit descended upon the elements, life came into existence. The beginning of life marked the beginning of humans, animals, and plants.
