Athalas Eldertree (The Entity)

"Come with me and see the world or stay and rot in a petty village at the edge of it.". Many people are forced to make this hard choice in their lives, and many choose what I did. That day I left the village behind and began my journey to explore the expanses that awaited me outside the confines of my small hamlet. For many years I journeyed the world exploring, learning and having fun. One day that all came to an end. My master, a great summoner who had claimed me as his familiar, sadly met his end at the age of 240. I was left all alone wandering the verge between the spirit world and the mortal realm. I eventually returned to my village, only to see nothing but rubble and only to feel nothing but alone, knowing I was the last of the entities that wandered the mortal realm.

 Aeloria - The place where Athalas was summoned 

Aeloria was a small Village at the edge of the world and it was the last reminant of the Empire known as the Nefarion Dominion. The Ancient Empire of the Nefarion Dominion was the most powerful empire in an ancient era, called the Era of Summons, and it relied on the powerful an ancient magic of Entity summoning. However, the Era of Summons came to an end when the Nefarion Dominion collapsed in a civil war that cased the ancient magic of Entity summoning to become a lost magic. At the time of this collapse, all the ancient mages of that Era decided to set up a village at the very edge of the world known as Aelorita (which would later be changed to Aeloria). This village practised all the ancient magics that were lost to the rest of the world. The most powerful of these magics was Entity summoning. The village sadly met its end when a travelling band of bandits burnt it to the ground leaving no reminants of the ancient magic behind.

Entity Summoning

Entity summoning is an ancient magic and most of the knowledge of how it was performed is lost. However, some knowledge about it remains. Entity summoning is magic that creates a bridge in the gap between the spirit world and the mortal plane and drags a certain spirit called an Entity through it. These Entity, while alone are weak, when combined with a mage who serves as thier master can become the most powerful of all the spirits. Entity's however, are dark spirits meaning they need sacrifices to summon and it is believed the ancient mages used the corpes of 400 giant hornets to summon one Entity. Entities also require a tether to the mortal realm and this cane be an object or a person. Entities can only survive 5 months without a tether before returning to the spirit world.
