THE ROCK AT VALLAR

[3 of 3]
Jonathan Hickman Sep 13, 2021 75 16

WAR IN THE ACADEMY

By then, fractals ruled. The democratization of the Word -- the
atomization of the Vorto -- demanded a cleansing of the Academy before
a true Council of Khor could be assembled.  The machinery of legend had
been reborn in a great cycle of Change, but before they could move
against this external threat -- and the dangerous questions these
‘children-of-the-mind’ asked of the universe -- the Academy must first
be cleansed of all dissension.

The one hundred year spell -- a Sorcento --  was cast to purify the
Academy and erase its millennia-long divergence from the True Path. The
high mages of the great schools began the spell in the year 41 LC /
8049 KC after Syg, the Twilight Stag, failed in his efforts to make
peace between the warring factions of the three major Academy clans:
The Sinjiro of the Broken Path, the Knights of Khorless Way, and the
Pacigisto Warlords.
The Sorcento was a series of cascading spells meant to depower the
weakest practitioners of the Broken Path, confuse and disarm the Path’s
adepts so they could be captured or killed, and finally, to bind and
bury that school’s great lords.

THE ONE HUNDRED YEAR SPELL

The spell that entombed the great lords of the Broken Path was sealed
with a high chant -- the high mages screaming out the conclusion of
their hundred year spell in unison: ‘Vahl-lahr! Vahl-lahr! Vahl-lahr!’

And in the year 142 LC / 8150 KC the spell was finished, the Academy
was purified, and the great rock of KAOSO was cast out from that moon
to its resting place on THERRA.

The chant reduced to a whisper still rings out today. And while over
time Vahl-lahr became bastardized as Vallar, the meaning has always
been the same: PRISON.
The ROCK is a HOME / the HOME is a PRISON / the PRISON is a ROCK.

Hmmm, so the family lives in an ancient prison. With ancient magic wielders inside it still.
Wonder how they have gone undiscovered for so long?

Well... that seems like an unfortunate place to build your house...
