The Old World of Zol - Excerpts from The Grand Nothing

A highly controversial text on the archeological discoveries of The Grand Nothing. Written by Hammond Leduran, Eldon Viconell, and Irid Mathrapp. These three human scholars of The Kybis Assembly conducted many expeditions, excavations, and investigations into Old Zol. They compiled the works of many individuals to create a comprehensive publication regarding their discoveries.

The majority of the resulting work contained maps, drawings, and detailed descriptions of what was found. The final few chapters of the book drew conclusions from the data. Said conclusions were speculative, but sparked much controversy.

The summary of the conclusions drawn are as follows:

• Old Zol was a highly advanced society that had a comprehensive understanding of The First Tongue, The Old Tongue, and The Trinity itself.
• Their usage of Magic was described as Great Magic. Only three races walked Old Zol, The Triumvirate. One will was manifested more powerfully in each of the races
  • Humans bore Arcana
  • Elves bore Viridescence
  • Dwarves bore Observance
• No evidence of races other than Humans, Elves, and Dwarves were discovered. Indicating the other races did not exist before The Undoing.
• All three races of Old Zol lived for centauries, now only Elves and Dwarves live this long.
• The effect of The Undoing caused humans to lose their Great Magic, and brought the Off-Human races into existence.

Since its publication, many have based their beliefs on these conclusions. Causing racial discriminations and division between the races of Zol. Unfortunately no concrete evidence has been found to disprove these conclusions.
