Many tell the tale of the original Sages defeating the being that had brought strife upon the world. Other’s insist that the landmass that was once in the center of the world was still there, unseen by normal people, that the being had been sealed away with its followers. No one knows which story is true, those that truly know are no longer of this world. That does not mean there are no stories as to what they did after the disappearance of the Threat. With the disappearance of the landmass, the ancient race that lived there, the secrets of the Spirit disappeared as well. With them gone, many lost their way while others simply found their own means of existing without the understanding of what they were capable of. Wars broke out. People constantly fought and battled over land that was never meant to be theirs. During this time of war and strife, the Sages continued to try their hardest to guide their people. Some were forced to fight those they considered friends, but they did so for the sake of their people, wanting to keep them as safe as possible. Decades of war was all that faced the Sages. There seemed to be no end to any of them. It was pointless. In the eyes of the Sages the wars were all useless. They saw no reason to have disputes over lands that had boundaries that were already determined. After some time, they decided to sit out of all land disputes. They felt nothing was to be gained by such things after all. Instead, they only participated in the wars that they saw as necessary, which was never really clear. Some would participate in wars that had to do with succession, other’s over the issue of slavery, others simply wanted to end things no matter how small the dispute and often were able to do so by their presence alone. Eventually, after the years of war, the Sages simply… disappeared. No one is sure why they suddenly left, but there has been much speculation. Some say they were tired of all the fighting and had simply left their people to deal with their own problems, rather than relying on the power of the Sages to fix everything. Other’s say that they were killed, though they have no explanation as to how they would have been killed. As a show of respect for those that saved them, each day of their week was named after the Sages that had saved them all from certain doom. Agniea, Sibek, Medeina, Hotoru, Theia, Than and Aether. Seven seemingly ordinary people with extraordinary capabilities who risked their lives to ensure that everyone was allowed the lives they wanted, only to be used as weapons for their people in the end.
