Century of Fire

17,910 to 18,009

Another name for the period known as The Savage Brutality Of The War Men. During this century, the forces unleashed by Harbinger Portent slowly mended the sundered Battal. Molten rock was the primary method by which this was achieved, much to the dismay of those in the path of the mending.

It was a time of great geologic, social, political and culinary upheaval. Besides the obvious unrest caused when half of one's subjects are incinerated by molten rock, Char Reyarteb, his will subverted to the Starborn Gem, chose this time to begin his plans to conquer the reformed Battal by raising an army of vicious War Men and surrounding himself with a personal guard of Ungouth. Many civilizations were hopelessly leveled, like the Arkleaf during the famous Siege of Arkleaf.

Most of the canonical information about this time is either mentioned in passing in The Elemenstor Cycle or can be gleaned from the Collide: The Vision expansion to the Wizbits Elemenstor Battle CCG. From these sketchy sources we know that the War Men perpetuated horrible forms of murder and torture, and were exceptionally fond of hacking the legs of foes off at the kneecaps. More chilling was the brief appearance of War Men Elemenstors, empowered by Char Reyarteb to further his goals.

The first attempt to raise a War Man to the level of High Elemenstor resulted in the heads of all known War Men Elemenstors simultaneously exploding. If any further attempts were made, there are no canonical references to them.
