Before this event, [[Orethil]] existed as an infinite and unchanging realm of pure earth and stone, untouched by the outside influences of other elements. It was the first and most enduring realm, created from the chaotic energies of [[Astram]] within the [[Primordial Void]]. | ||
The Great Erosion was not merely a geological event but a metaphysical process that forever altered the balance of the elements in Adaris, shaping both its landscape and its inhabitants. | The Great Erosion was not merely a geological event but a metaphysical process that forever altered the balance of the elements in Adaris, shaping both its landscape and its inhabitants. | ||

As | As Orethil stood alone, the elemental realms of [[Shasae]] (air), [[Tejas]] (fire), and [[Jala]] (water) were yet to fully manifest in the world. These elements existed in their own infinite expanses, but their energies had not yet interacted with the physicality of Terasil. This changed when the balance of the cosmos began to shift, causing the forces of [[Shasae]], [[Tejas]], and [[Jala]] to collide with Terasil. | ||
It was during this period of elemental convergence that [[Kairos]], the Ascendant [[Spirit]] of Time, came into existence. The introduction of new elements into the timeless realm of Terasil threatened to plunge the world into chaos, with the continuous erosion of its eternal landmass. Kairos emerged to stabilize the passage of time, ensuring that the elements worked in harmony rather than complete dissolution. | It was during this period of elemental convergence that [[Kairos]], the Ascendant [[Spirit]] of Time, came into existence.

Though the Great Erosion has largely subsided, the process is not entirely over. The elemental forces continue to shape Terasil, albeit at a much slower and more controlled pace, thanks to the stabilizing effect of time. | Though the Great Erosion has largely subsided, the process is not entirely over.

In many ways, the Great Erosion also represents the delicate balance that exists in Adaris between creation and destruction, order and chaos. The emergence of time, the formation of new landscapes, and the gradual contraction of Terasil all serve as reminders of the ever-changing nature of the world. | In many ways, the Great Erosion also represents the delicate balance that exists in Adaris between creation and destruction, order and chaos.
