Invaders

While few know much of the Invaders, all know of their existence and impact on the world. Sometime briefly before the start of the new calendar, great black floating fortresses appeared above what is now modern day Dath. Their attacks started without provocation or warning. Thousands of twisted horrors bursting forth to lay ruin to the glory that was the Old World.

Any attempts at diplomacy were met in failure. The term “Invader” was given to them due to lack of a name for their nemesis.

Beyond the sealed records of the Courts and the Amukreen, all knowledge is known purely through experiencing the remnants of their coming. Their ‘technology’ is all made from a black metal which light dances sickeningly across, as if wanting nothing to do with it. Even striking it sounds wrong. Such a strange phenomenon seems to extend to the elements as well. Water and wind part to its presence, and the very earth beneath it dries and cracks.

Invader technology seems to play by its own rules. To it, gravity is a choice. Even cause and effect are toys it can manipulate. It is somewhat resistant to all forms of magic, though is immune to the fate manipulation of the Amukreen. They are not a part of the world, and thus they and their god holds no sway over it.

Artwork and stories of the time tell of a great, white, tentacled corpse that the Invaders used as their central instrument: the Worldbreaker. A creature of such horrific power that even the Invaders kept it tightly bound out of fear of its remains.

The Invasion eventually ended in Rouran, what is now Jhanin. There their advance was halted by the wondrous Lightcraft of the Kyn, the unholy might of Demons, and the great swarms of the Amukreen. The Elves were supposed to aid in this battle, but their support never came.

After the destruction of the Worldbreaker, the Invaders remained for a time, but slowly their warmachine began to tear itself apart. The details of their downfall and departure are muddled and uncertain.
