Our tale begins with the story of Xin, a prodigious wizard born into the height of the Azlanti Empire. Though born to wealth and privilage, Xin broke with his nation's traditions, and delved into the forbidden magics beyond his homeland's borders.
When Xin and his apprentices were finally exiled for their academic herecies, they fled their native land, and set out to make a new nation for themselve. This new empire would become Thassilon, and Xin would become it's legendary First King.
Xin and his followers eventually developed a new theory of magic which drew upon the archaic and mysterious runes of the goddess Lissala. But, in working directly with the language of creation itself, Xin and his mightiest apprentices- whom he dubbed the Runelords- exposed themselves to a terrible danger.
As Xin isolated himself from the world, and devled further and further into his own magical theories, the Runelords became corrupted by Sin. So great was their fall, that the seven former apprentices soon found themselves plotting the death of the man they had once called master.
