Creation of Werlyth (450000 BC - 100000 BC)

Around 450000 years(1) before the Cataclysm, Ord began their Blessed project, attempting to create the perfect world for life. This was the latest in a long string of 'perfect worlds', the culmination of millennia of creation. After 50000 years of carefully sculpting the world, Ord painstakingly crafted the World Heart mechanism over the next 50000 years and placed it in the centre of the planet along with the small army of Modrons required to keep it in working order. Soluna, briefly leaving her hiding place, introduced a small amount of chaos to the World Heart in order to keep it from becoming too orderly.


Pleased with the work done so far, Ord then created twin moons to keep the planet company in it's orbit
