The Founding of Kotlan and the Myrmidex
Spoken by the Memory of Katalkotl
Transcribed by Professor Ellie Rafkin
While the valley of Eodon was warm and filled with bountiful life and food, it was still untamed and wild. The Kotl wished to rebuild their civilization, so they bored into the earth to tap veins of iron and gold. These tunnels became the oldest parts of their city, running for miles under Eodon. To help with the work, they constructed huge golden golems. Powered by the Great Moonstone, the Kotl automatons were tireless workers. Soon, the city of Kotlan was a shining marvel at the heart of Eodon. After the city was completed, the Kotl settled into a life made easier by the magic of the moonstone. However, they wished to be free of all toil. They could never construct or empower enough automatons to take care of every task in the city, so they searched for new servants. Finding no intelligent creatures in the world, they decided to create a servitor race. Using the Nowlotl crystal to tap into the moonstone's power and select distant future variations, the Kotl bred such servants from ants. The Myrmidex were this failed experiment. The Kotl thought that the Myrmidex might inherit the industrious nature of the ants, but instead, they gained only the ants' warlike nature. The Myrmidex broke free of their captivity and fled the city of the Kotl. Thus, the World-Builders were forced to look elsewhere for their labor.
