The world as it is known to the Xosu in the Eight Hundred and Sixty Fifth year after the fall of Old Kolbos (click to expand)
Kolgennon is an ancient and storied land, its history stretching back more than a millennia to the time of the Dawn of the old Kingdoms, when a brotherhood of god-kings ruled over great powers. Zowdel in the west, to Zenidun and Xosupil in the east. At the centre of these domains was the great valley, the kingdom of Xortogun.
This was a time of myth and legend, when the realms of the gods were closer to that of men and great heroes roamed the world. But it was not to last.
None really know the cause, even less so since the knowledge gathered and hoarded by the old kingdoms was lost, but soon a veil would fall and Dusk would come. With it the god-kings were toppled from their thrones, the heroes were brought low and the realms of gods and men sundered.
Since that time the world has rebuilt itself. New empires, states and alliances have risen and fallen, but memory still lingers.
