The Great Moonstone and the Destruction of the First Home

Spoken by the Memory of Katalkotl

Transcribed by Professor Ellie Rafkin

Eodon was not the cradle of the Kotl. Before, there was Akaktolan, the First Home. While much is forgotten, it was there where the Kotl learned the fundamentals of magic and lore. The First Home was struck by a great meteorite, and the world slipped into an ice age. Those Kotl who survived traveled across the wastes, seeking the source of their suffering. In the center of a huge crater, they found a large tenebrous moonstone. The blackrock artifact bent the very shadows around it. All the Kotl recognized the raw magic before them. Some shunned the moonstone, turning and walking back into the cold, never to be seen again. They were the Mixkotl, the Lost. The rest remained with the moonstone, hoping to unlock its secrets before the end came. In the frozen crater, each day of study claimed another life, but eventually, the Kotl learned to wield the moonstone's power. They used it to grasp and manipulate frayed threads of existence. They knit together pieces from before the First Home's destruction into a new world - Eodon. Eodon presented refuge from the cold desolation Akaktolan had become, so the Kotl stepped across the threshold into the new reality. When they left, they took the Great Moonstone with them, thus closing the door to the First Home forever.
