Oblivion

• Heralds - Storytellers and keepers of Serin's history and lore
• Mystics - Savants pursuing knowledge of the realm, the planes, and gods
• Scholars - Academics devoted to all types of learning

Because of their role as traitors in the war with Zaikkra centuries earlier, the Mystics were allowed only to return not as a cabal, but as a much more peaceful coterie with new objectives around knowledge and discovery.

While mortals continued to repair the world, Zaikkra's invasion had shaken the very fabric of reality. The great battle seemed to stir awake entities who had long forgotten the plane of Serin. From the depths of far-reaching places, eyes opened and focused their gaze upon the plane of mortals, watching and waiting. It was also at this time that Dogran ascended to become immortal and emerged as the leader of Legion.

Then a strange entity came to Serin in secret: a creature from the void known as Voraxen the Void Reaper. His whereabouts unknown, the Void Reaper brought with him a powerful psionic object called The Oblivion Stone. Whether on purpose or by accident, the power of the stone began to seep into Serin. Mages suddenly discovered a school of magic thought to be lost to the ages and the psionicist guild returned. And then, a new terrifying threat emerged. Throughout Serin, portals to other planes began opening and demons came pouring through.

It was no longer safe to travel. Cities were under constant assault. The Knights created the Order of Light to recruit citizens into helping repel the demons. Meanwhile, the Consortium went to task studying the portals to try and understand what was causing them and how they could be closed for good. It was discovered that the demons were being led by four Demon Princes:

• Prince of the Pyre - from the flames of the Underworld
• Lord of the Black Flood - from the endless Void
• Baron Zero - from the frozen tundra of Winter
• The Shadow Dragon - from the magical plane of Acadia

The first two princes to arrive themselves were the Prince of the Pyre and the Lord of the Black Flood. They were promptly intercepted by Dogran who struck a deal with the demon leaders. In exchange for allowing their invasion of Serin to continue, the demons would lend their powers to the Legion who would be remade in a demonic image. The princes agreed and Legion began to be reforged with a new identity. However, after the transfer of power was complete, Dogran betrayed the princes and destroyed them, sending their souls back to the planes they came from. The next two princes, Baron Zero and The Shadow Dragon, simply invaded by force, attempting to fully consume Serin. The Consortium and their allies stood their ground, and using powerful binding magic that had been discovered in a lost archive, they banished the princes.

With the four demon leaders finally vanquished, a brief respite came to Serin. For his role in helping banish the demons, the Immortals granted the healer Avenar immortality. The Consortium thrived in an era where knowledge was sought and history wanted to be written. But in those very moments, the void magic from The Oblivion Stone continued to make its way into the ground of the land. Its power had attracted the demon princes and now it attracted something else. Another entity from the Void named Mordras. Calling himself the Sovereign of the Void and the leader of the Void Reapers, he demanded that Serin find The Oblivion Stone and return it to him or the plane of Serin risked total annihilation by the stone's magic.

The mortals of Serin again banded together and embarked on a great quest across the land to locate the stone. Finally, it was found in the hidden depths of a place no mortal had traveled in millenia. And with it, was Voraxen. The Void Reaper was trapped, bound to the stone through void magic, being eternally torn apart by psionic tendrils emanating from the stone. At Voraxen's behest, the mortals killed him to end his suffering. They found his journal, which explained that Voraxen had come to Serin after falling in love with a mortal. He had wished to convert her into a Void Reaper so they could be together for eternity. Something went terribly wrong with the ritual which resulted in her being cast into the void and Voraxen's torturous imprisonment. The group of adventurers returned to Mordras with the stone and explained what they had found. They gave the stone back to Mordras who thanked them and then disappeared into the Void.
