The True Road to Discovery - Part 1
By Kletus Mheiz, Year 1086
In the earliest years, even before the dawning of the age of Generosity, the age of Realm walkers was upon us. Powerful and wise, these beings had the ability to travel between different worlds, and had been doing so for thousands, nay, tens of thousands of years. With such a long life it is no wonder that many have been led to believe that they are the true creators of the realms themselves, but this is not the case. As to their total number, we may never know exactly, for in the years when the walkers freely revealed themselves to the world of man, very little was recorded for the future. From my decades of research I must conclude two facts: that they still exist and that they enjoy immortality. Though the descriptions of individual walkers varies greatly, they all have two things in common: an insatiable wanderlust, and a thirst for ultimate power.
In their wake, these powerful Realm Walkers have left behind a number of artifacts attuned to the energy of realms they visited. It is said that those with the knowledge and magical affinity could utilize these artifacts to fantastical and wondrous effect. Thusly many Enalians and, I suspect scholars from other realms as well, have taken on the task of collecting and cataloging any potentially related trinkets or fragments.
