Acrolon

Template:Breadcrumb Apparatus Acrolon

Acrolon is one of the Template:Category Apparatus Shards of The Integrum. It is the home realm of the Template:Category Apparatus Nor races.

History

Like all Shards of The Integrum, Acrolon's history begins during The Shattering at the end of the Gilded Age, when the Shards were created. During the Gilded Age, Acrolon and the other Shards did not exist, as there was only a single Mortal Realm. Prior to the Gilded Age, The Integrum did not exist, as it was constructed during the First Age.

Shattered Age

Major events of the Shattered Age of Acrolon include, in chronological order:

• The Shattering: Acrolon experienced this great cataclysm, just like the rest of The Integrum.
• Rise of the Nor: The mortals of Acrolon were diminished from the Paragons of the Gilded Age, becoming the short-lived and rationally minded Nor.
• First Gods War: The First Gods War in Acrolon was called Ragnarok, also known as Frumadom. The only surviving Template:Category Apparatus Primarchs were Nexia, Anastasia, and Hagal.
• Curse of Anyot: A byproduct of Ragnarok, this is a curse that afflicts mortals with a bestial form, creating the Template:Category Apparatus Feral races.
• Elfmeet: Also known as Ælfgemoot, this refers to first contact with the Template:Category Apparatus Fey patternsails from Pelithos.
• The Barigor: Also called Utherdom or Lucidio, this refers to the invasion of Acrolon by the Template:Category Apparatus Ruk of Tonwei through the first shard gate, as well as the subsequent wars and the founding of the Empire of Acrolon.
• Shadeskin Cult: Also called Threidom, this refers to a powerful cult of the Conqueror Worm which threatened the destruction of Acrolon until it was thwarted.
• Grahlheim: The rise of the Garmyr as the dominant race of Ferals in Acrolon.
• Beast of Bloodstone: Also known as the Feordom, or the First Dead War, this was the failed, decades-long attempt by the Tanari prince known as the Beast to invade Acrolon.
• Sindra's March: Also known as the Feifdom, or the Second Dead War, this was the failed military campaign by a rogue Herald of Nexia across Acrolon.
• Titanfall: Also known as Seekdom, this heralded the end of the Shattered Age and the beginning of the Dark Age of Acrolon.

A major theme of the Shattered Age of Acrolon is the sense of doom expressed by the Six Dooms that foreshadowed the Dark Age: Frumadom, Utherdom, Threidom, Feordom, Feifdom, and Seekdom.

Dark Age

Major events of the Dark Age of Acrolon include, in chronological order:

• The Fall: Acrolon experienced this great cataclysm, just like the rest of The Integrum.

  • Stillblight ends: The curse of still births and lingering deaths, which began in The Fall, finally ends.
• Dragonfall: Nearly all Template:Category Apparatus Dragons across all Shards fall dead.
• Lascivian Empire: Demonic bloodlines corrupt the nobility of the Acrolon Empire who become puppets of the Template:Category Apparatus Primarch Lascivia.
