Age of Ascension
The Age of Ascension began with the Coming of Estarra, the Eternal.
Some distinguishing characteristics of the Age of Ascension include:
- Estarra brought humans to Lusternia upon her return.
- Elder Gods returning to walk Lusternia again for the first time since Meridian splintered.
- Most Soulless Gods are diminished, confined or otherwise held at bay. Their influence continues to be a danger, however.
- Reality is protected from Kethuru by Avechna and the Living Seals.
- This protection seems to be periodically threatened, requiring the Trials of Ascension to re-empower them.
- Mortals continue to enter the Portal of Fate and return marked by destiny and bonded with an Other.
- The Taint exists in many places throughout Lusternia and has forever altered the planes of Earth and Shallamar.
- The Wyrd exists and has forever altered Gloriana Forest and the Great Spirits of Raven and Night.
