History of Alharth: The Council

You leaf through the book for interesting tidbits: "The lead wizards from each school met in secret, calling themselves the Council of Thirteen. Had the gorgons found them then, we would still be under the yoke of the Crone Hegemony to this day! But under the cloak of magical secrecy they organized a rebellion." "... Queen Hegata declared open war upon the upstart humans and called for aid from her allies. The orcs followed her lead, but the elves of Verta refused to honor their treaty, claiming that it was an internal matter. This created a schism between the elves and the hags which is still evident to this day." "... When the crones were forced out of their beloved home in Ilmari, they destroyed this Great Weather Machine so that the Council could not obtain it. Who can say if they knew what would happen as a result? Perhaps it was an accident. But in any case, Ilmari was covered in horrific storms for years. Its fertile soil was washed away and it became a barren desert. And so the Rakshasa lost the war, yet claim ownership of Ilmari by default, for none else care enough to fight for it." ... This is too boring. You stop reading and focus on more pressing matters.
