Background
In times long forgotten an ancient pretender led his people out of slavery and elevated them to greatness, and in turn they elevated him to godhood. He watched from the heavens as his people defeated their opressors and built a magnificent kingdom. His joy soon turned to sorrow as he witnessed his followers conquering the surrounding lands and cruelly enslaving their populations. Those who had once been slaves had now descended, drunk with power and glory, to the depths of their own past oppressors. As he watched in dispair a tear escaped the corner of his eye and fell from the heavens into the great void where it froze and solidified. As it passed into the earthly realm it screeched across the sky like a blazing comet and struck the magnificent kingdom, killing all of its inhabitants in a moment of fiery hell and leaving nothing but a large inland sea. Over the millenia the sea has slowly drained revealing once again the lands beneath.
