There was only one reason that the Fey fell to the humans, and that was because of resurrection. Human souls diverged enough from the native lore that they could be resummoned after an unnatural death. In so ways, they had to be like an army of intelligent zombies, storming forth from a dungeon and continuing to take land away from the Fey. It wasn’t particularly surprising that the Fey reacted so violently.
The first thing they tried to do was annihilate the lore of the White Mage, keeping them from resurrecting their own. Even with this, the humans were too far, and the dungeon they ca from only acted as an open gate allowing more and more humans through. Thus, they summoned a great and powerful teor down on their continent. The damage had to be brutal, and it would have hurt the Fey too. I couldn’t imagine a situation where it didn’t. Generations must have passed under the cold and brutal winter created by the Fey.
I also theorized that this was the point when Faerith started to beco overrun with dungeons. It wasn’t just the humans anymore, but beastkin, osterians, elves, dwarves, esmore, and probably other species that had never managed to get a hold on the land. While the Fey were recovering from the backlash of their attack, the humans did the sa. However, they fell onto faith, created a church, and began resurrecting once again. Despite being at ground zero and being cut off from their origin, the humans didn’t just survive; they thrived.
They began to take over and settle the Fey lands. They probably weren’t the only ones at this point. While this was happening, the Beastkin were taking over so of the land, the Osterian took over others. Eventually, the Fey felt they had no choice but to flee. They attempted to do one last thing before they fled though. At so point, they must have realized how to finally end human’s ability to resurrect. Maybe, they had always known, but at the ti, they didn’t want human lore to rge with Gaia. That would an humans were part of Gaia’s lore. Such an act probably felt like a sacrilege for them.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringent.
Either way, they finally decided to rge their lore, but they had stupidly buried it and put a dungeon on top of it to keep it away from the humans. I had my theory that by doing this, they were keeping another human king from being born. Whatever human got control of the human core would beco the human king. Much like the demon king in the demon lands, this person would have the power of the human lore behind them. They would be extrely powerful.
The champion who had defeated the previous human king had to fight their way through a dungeon of the Fey’s own making to acquire the human lore. Unfortunately, that was where the story ended. I was missing the final piece. One of the murals had shown the champion making it to the core, yet I didn’t know what happened next. The final mural was out of my reach too. I had no choice but to enter the boss battle without that last piece of information.
“Calypso…” I started.
“What are you doing in here? I thought we were in a hurry?” Anne seed to have recovered her old deanor a bit after her crisis and was now glaring at with her hands on her hips.
“Ti is running out.” Calypso’s words ca out playfully, despite the severity of the situation.
I had questions I wanted to ask her, but I had a hunch she wasn’t going to answer them.
“Let’s go.”
The answers would be in that final boss room.
