Lore: Defiants - Bahmi

Bahmi's are, for me, the most interesting of the Defiant Races.  Their unique relationship and history of the planes sets them apart from the other races.  Much information is given about this race of people from the planes.

Lore: Defiants - Kelari

There are few Kelari representatives left alive during the time of Terminus.  Those that do appear share a few details about their culture and lifestyle. 

Lore: Defiants - Eth

Throughout Terminus there are representative from the defiant races; Eth, Bahmi, and Kelari.  These representatives give a basic introduction to their own struggles, as well as paint a greater picture of the Defiant organization as a whole.

Lore: Sourcestone

Koke Tegus, a Bahmi charged with defending an outpost in Terminus, says sourcestone is "the very thing that is powering our machines."  However, Sourcestone is more than a fuel source similar to coal. "It also allowed Sylver to grant you an empowered rebirth as the Ascended."  Part fuel and part magical base, what exactly is sourcestone?

Question - Part 2: What timeline are we in now?

The Fail Safe Machine is responsible for saving the world of Telara and assisting the Defiant faction with the creation of their own Ascended long before they could have otherwise.

How else did the creation of the Fail Safe device alter the course of history for Telara?  Could the great magitech society enjoyed in present day Telara be thanks in part the creativity gained from future generations?

Lore - Part 1: The Failsafe Device

The hope for Telara rests upon the Distal Temporal Refraction Device - or, as it is more commonly known, the Failsafe Device.   In this two part post, the history and usefulness of the Fail Safe will be analysed, as well as its impact on the Defiant civilization and Telara in general.

Lore - Orphiel Fairwind

Brilliant scientist or mad-man, history is unable to put a definitive label on Orphiel Fairwind.   The study of Magitech had was placed under royal ban, and yet it was this very magitech that saved Telara from ultimate destruction.  Before understanding the Fail Safe, it is important to know about the man who designed it.

Little is know about the reclusive leaders personal motives, however a few pieces of information can be gathered while in Terminus.
