The Worldwalker and Humanity
Spoken by the Memory of Katalkotl
Transcribed by Professor Ellie Rafkin
After the failure of the Myrmidex, the Kotl took more care in their manipulation of living things. They turned the power of the moonstone outward beyond Eodon. They constructed the Moon Chamber as a focal point for all of Eodon's mana. The artificial origin of Eodon made travel across the void between worlds difficult. However, with the awesome power of the Great Moonstone, it was possible. The Kotl sent their bravest general out across the Ethereal Void: Katalkotl the Worldwalker. He and his warriors traveled to dozens of worlds, bringing treasures and curiosities back to Eodon. Eventually, Katalkotl found several worlds with an intelligent, but less civilized, species called humans. With unrivalled magic and martial power, Katalkotl's forces brought back humans to be servants to the Kotl. Because of the mercurial connection between Eodon and the outer worlds, the humans were from many different times and places. Since the Kotl language could not be spoken by the human voice box (and so the Kotl could keep the secrets of their power), the Kotl created a single language from various human tongues to communicate with their new servants. Out of awe and fear, most of the humans revered and served the World-Builders without complaint. Those of exceptional courage and honor even served as defenders of Kotlan. Still some humans rebelled against servitude. Many managed to flee the city of the Kotl. Some tried to resist openly and directly, only to be stopped by the automatons. A few succeeded in undermining the rulers of Eodon in secret.
