Origin of the Titans
Under construction
The origins of the Titans remain very vague and subject to many theories and debates. Some say they ruled Felarya in a past era, others believe that they actually created it ! However, some newly found extracts from an old book in Ur-Sagol shed a different and new light on both the origins of this very ancient race, and on the History of Felaya itself.
It is said that Titans appeared on Felarya very long ago, in a time of great turmoil. They were immense constructs, created to serve as the hand of the Guardians to maintain both a balance in Felarya, and to defend the land, which at this time was facing existential threats from the repeated attacks of a mysterious and very powerful race of Planewalkers known as the "Correctors".
Alcazath was the first of the Titans created to this effect, and his power was without equal among them. He had been blessed with the ability to shape and animate Titans of his own using the Tedrek Hammer of Creation, to help serve his purpose. For a long time, the Titans remained perfectly loyal, watching over Felarya, keeping it in a stable state, and helping the Guardians to defend it against the Correctors. The onslaught is said to have been going on for centuries, albeit not steadily, with long and deceptive periods of calm between each assault. They are depicted as incredibly violent though, leaving deep scars in Felarya every time.
The Titans of Alcazath presented them with a formidable challenge however, forming a terrifying ground force, easily replaced when they fell in combat. Alcazath made his main base of operations within what is now known as the Mysterious temple, originally above ground entirely, commanding other such temple fortresses with generals he had created to defend Felarya. As time wore on though, the Titan king began to lose touch with his purpose, slowly changing his stance from a protector of the land to a tyrant- ruling over the races of flesh and magic with his Titan armies, believing the Titans to be the chosen race to lord over the weaker races, having been blessed by the Guardians themselves. Alcazath began to lose his sanity as well, and the Titans he shaped looked more and more monstruous. Some say the Correctors had corrupted his mind.
The Guardians became increasingly concerned about their creations. They soon ordered Alcazath to give up his hammer as a sign of sumbission to their authority, but Alcazath refused and prepared his army of Titans for war against their former masters. A gigantic battle took place where the Guardians were faced by both the Titans from within Felarya and the Correctors from outside, leaving many to believe the Tiitans and the Correctors were indeed in league.
The Guardians won a decisive victory, but several of them died, and Felarya suffered massive dammage that would take centuries to heal. The Correctors ceased their attacks and Alcazath was finally cornered and defeated. The Guardians chose to erase their past mistake completely, removing his outposts and sinking his temple as a reminder of that mistake, making it his tomb for eternity. They sealed the Tedrek Hammer of Creation away along with him, to prevent another Titan uprising should it fall into the wrong hands. The lowest regions of the temple would in time become twisted, horroric distortions of their former glory, a reflection of the corruption of Alcazath.
