History

The Great Fire

The Great Fire was a cataclysmic event in the history of the Ezomytes.

The Ezomyte's ancestors failed to honour the First Ones for their "gifts". As a consequence, the First Ones caused fires to spill "out of a mountain". As it did so, Fenumus wove a net and carried itself into the sky, floating on the hot winds. The flames swept from "north to south", growing taller, consuming the land. Once the flames had "spread across the land", Saqawal used its wings to bring the fires to a "standstill".

For the Ezomytes, the aftermath was catastrophic. The then leaders had been "turned to ash where they stood", civilization was "erased", and the land was laid barren. Those who survived grew "weak", but were taken "pity" on by "Mother Gull", who gave them "grain and water". However, this "grain and water" was somehow tainted, and those who had enjoyed "birthed" monsters that "fed on each other" (i.e. cannibals).

There is some connection to be drawn in the imagery of the fire spilling out of a mountain and the events depicted in the murals found in the Proto-Vaal civilization's ruins. The mural can be found on that page.
