Historical Timeline of Nerathil
Historical Figure:
Lumaethen – The Whisper of the Tide
​
An ancient Mer-Elder, Lumaethen was known for her song—an unending tone that harmonized with the subconscious of all beings who entered Nerathil’s waters. She would appear as a luminous serpent of sea and starlight, guiding initiates through the Deep Current.
​
Legacy:
Her voice can still be heard in certain tidal flows near the original convergence point—what seekers call The Singing Veins of Lumaethen.
​The Age of the Deep Communion (~Before Time | The Living Waters)
Before the Great Fracture, Nerathil was a sacred meeting place for interdimensional travelers—a world where water held the memory of all that had ever been.
🔹 The planet was governed by consciousness itself—its tides shifted in response to thought, emotion, and intent.
🔹 Beings from higher dimensions would descend into The Depths of the Psyche to cleanse themselves of limiting attachments before ascending to the next stage of their evolution.
🔹 The native Mer-Elders, an ancient race of aquatic sentients, served as keepers of the Deep Current, guiding those who entered the waters into higher states of resonance.
Historical Figure: Varesh-Khul – The Last Currentwatcher
​
The youngest of the Mer-Elders who remained at the surface during the collapse, Varesh-Khul attempted to anchor harmonic currents through vibrational glyphs etched into coral spires. He ultimately descended into the Deep Abyss, his fate unknown.
​
Legacy:
The Tideglyph Spires still pulse with energy when truth is spoken nearby. His name is said to open hidden chambers below.
​The Fall of the Deep Currents (~100,000 Cycles Ago)
When the Great Fracture severed the dimensions, Nerathil was isolated from the higher realms, and the Mer-Elders retreated into the Deep Abyss, cutting themselves off from the surface.
🔹 Without the balance of the cosmic web, the ocean’s once harmonic currents became unpredictable, forming chaotic whirlpools of memory and emotion.
🔹 The deeper layers of Nerathil became a prison for unresolved traumas and forgotten selves, forming vast Submerged Labyrinths, where lost souls wandered endlessly.
​The Age of the Drowned Prophets (~50,000 Cycles Ago)
With the Mer-Elders withdrawn, a new order arose—The Drowned Prophets, individuals who had survived the descent into the abyss and returned with fragmented visions of forgotten truths.
🔹 Some claimed that the only way to escape the suffering of the lower dimensions was through total dissolution into the abyss. Others spoke of a great convergence, when the lost worlds would realign.
🔹 Temples were built upon the floating islands to honor The Trench of Oracles, a chasm where the voices of ancient beings could still be heard.
🔹 The surface world became divided—some worshiped the abyss, while others sought to preserve the last remnants of the old wisdom.
Historical Figure: Azhan the Broken Mouth – The First Prophet of the Trench
​
Azhan was a surface-born seeker who returned from the abyss unable to speak—but his dreams carried visions that caused entire island-cities to collapse and rebuild. Though feared and misunderstood, his glyphic dream-tapestries foretold the convergence.
​
Legacy:
His final dream-tapestry, called The Spiral of Blue Fire, lies hidden in a submerged monastery. It is said to reveal the name of the One Who Will Mix the Remedy.
​The Submersion of the Forgotten Temples (~20,000 Cycles Ago)
As time passed, the struggle between seekers of truth and those who sought oblivion reached its peak.
🔹 Entire civilizations sank beneath the waves, their structures lost to the ocean floor.
🔹 The Azhaleith’s Rest, home to the last guardians of the ancient knowledge, was swallowed by the abyss.
🔹 Only those who embraced the surrender of self could now access its hidden chambers, where the Remnants of the Old Gods lay dormant, waiting to awaken.
​The Modern Age – The World of Testing (~Present)
Today, Nerathil exists as both a test and a sanctuary—a world where only those willing to surrender their illusions can pass through its trials of depth.
🔹 The surface remains calm, a deceptive paradise of floating temples and islands, while the depths hide the secrets of forgotten civilizations.
🔹 The Aquarian Rebellion has taken interest in Nerathil, believing it may hold the key to restoring the lost frequencies of the higher realms.
Historical Figure: Narael of the Seven Dives – The Last Guardian of Azhaleith
​
A priestess-warrior who dove seven times into the Abyss and returned with fragments of the Old Gods’ language. She sealed Azhaleith’s Rest with her own bloodline, vowing that only those with hearts softened by grief could enter.
​​
​The Future of Nerathil – The Abyss Awakens
With Verdalis discovered and The Wanting beginning to unravel, the Great Fracture’s final echoes stir within the depths.
🔹 The Mer-Elders, sensing the shift in the cosmic balance, prepare to return, restoring the currents of harmony.
🔹 The Trench of Oracles reveals a final prophecy:
"When the two souls unite, the abyss will break, and the Remnants shall rise."
🔹 The question remains—will Nerathil be a world of restoration, or will it become the final abyss that swallows all who are not ready to ascend?
