History

This history briefly chronicles, in rough chronological order, the history of the world of Ea and its inhabitants.

Primordial Era
Terrible monstrosities from the depths of the oceans known as kraken were the dominant life form on the planet, scheming and warring in the dark and watery depths. Due to their amphibious nature, some kraken were able to come to the surface, where they fought with the titans and giant reptiles for dominance on land; they were always driven back.

The children of the titans, the jotun, also walked the land in loose tribes, and battled these giant reptiles for food and territory while the titans took care of the kraken piscodemons. Venturing to the coast they discovered another species, the saurans. Seeing an opportunity, the kraken taught the saurans the fundamentals of magic and civilization, with the intent of using them to seek revenge against the titans and jotun, as well as to be their proxies to rule on land.

With this help the saurans were able to surpass the jotun and quickly established an empire, enslaving many jotun.

This angered the eldritch, who believed the saurans would have nothing were it not for eldritch help. They used their magic to call a demon

meteor to head straight for the planet, intending to end the sauran empire by wiping out the capital. They realized too late, however, that they had gravely miscalculated, and that the resulting impact would end all life on the planet, including in the seas and oceans.
