Fourth Era — Age of Darkness

At some point in the Age of Darkness, a new and organised devotion to Ghor took shape. No longer scattered warlocks or lone necromancers, the First Cult of Ghor spread quietly through frightened towns and fractured courts, promising power, vengeance, and survival in a godless age.

Disappearances among the Waykeepers

Across Eonil, Waykeepers began to vanish. Some were found slain; others were simply gone. Rumours swirled that the cult hunted them for ritual purposes — or worse, forced or corrupted them into service. The Waygates still functioned, but confidence in their guardianship eroded, and travel grew cautious.

The Slaying of Misoura, the Blue Teacher

The cult’s boldest act came with the assassination of Misoura, the blue dragon who had been teaching mortals to become Waykeepers. Misoura’s death severed a living line of instruction and morale; apprentices scattered, and established Keepers grew ever more isolated. Dragons withdrew from public dealings, and the aura of safety once surrounding the gates dimmed.

Guarding the Gates

In response, the Ee’dornil Amazons and Druids intervened. The Druids placed the surviving Waykeepers under their protection, while the Amazons took up arms to guard the Waygates. From that point forward, gate travel persisted — but only under watch, with Ee’dornil guardians stationed at every major crossing.
