The Age of Enlightenment

[Modd]

A bards tale passed down from Itunz to Modd to You!

Beneath a shimmering moonlight sky,
Darkness whispered secrets to the night;
A time was coming, known as the Age of Enlightenment,
Where knowledge and progress would take their first flight.

In a city called Qeynos, a man named Erud,
Whose intellect knew no bounds or limits,
Gathered around him like-minded individuals,
A council that would shape the course of history.

Their frustration grew with each passing day,
As they witnessed their fellow men's ignorance;
Unable to bear it any longer, they decided to leave,
Fleeing Qeynos and establishing a new place of residence.

They ventured westward upon the vast ocean waves,
And landed upon Odus, an untouched, barren island;
An ideal location for their grand ambitions,
Where they could build a city unlike any other in this world.

And Erudin was born, a city of towering castles,
A haven for scholars and a beacon of learning;
Within its walls, the High Men studied with fervor,
Collecting scrolls, books, and artifacts from every corner.

The era ushered in new possibilities,
Human mages appeared for the first time since the Combine Empire;
Wizards, Magicians, and Enchanters practiced their art,
While power and knowledge grew within Erudin's hallowed halls.

The Age of Enlightenment took firm root in this place,
Inspiring countless minds to break free from shackles;
As progress bloomed like wildflowers amidst the stone,
Illumination and innovation became their guiding light.

And so they thrived under Erud's watchful eye,
Forging a brighter future for all those who sought it;
The Age of Enlightenment would forever be etched into history,
As a time when knowledge triumphed over ignorance and doubt.

A legacy that still resonates today,
Inspiring dreamers to reach for the stars above;
For even in the darkest nights, a single candle of enlightenment can ignite,
And dispel the shadows, bringing forth an age of endless possibilities.

Erud was truly the greatest of men.
