The Changing of Eras
Added 2018-12-30 20:19:13 +0000 UTC Elnins have always been odd creatures, prone to spontaneous bouts of evolution across their entire species every so often. They've come to mark these leaps of change as the beginning of a new era for their kind. The most recent era of elnins was named the Dawn Era, after the appearance of the Harbinger of Dawn several centuries past. Dawn was a period of new beginnings, people reaching toward the heavens with their hopes and dreams held up in their palms to catch the rising light. Or so elnin spiritualists like to say.
Over the last year or so there have been inklings that a new era was swiftly approaching. Elnins describe it like a tickle at the back of your neck, or a song that you can't quite remember floating around in your head trying to take shape. Just a feeling of something vying quietly for your attention. (Ooor it could have been the ever increasing appearances of new traits and mutations popping up randomly.)
And as the new year turns over, so too do we see that the next era of elnins is truly upon us. The Crystal Era. A time for ideas and goals to solidify, and for the thorns and bristles of confusion and uncertainty to be scoured away until all that's left is a smooth, clear surface overlaying a million refracted shards of possibility shining in crystal clarity. Or so the spiritualists are saying now. Who knows really, those priests are quite fond of their fermented berries.
Nonetheless. The Harbinger of Crystal has indeed set down its blessed toebeans upon the earth of Eyre, and now begins its journey across the realms to proclaim the advent of the Crystal Era to all its elnin brethren.
