Excerpt from The Historium
The chaos following the Final Verdict of the Age of Failure left little tolerance in Etus for empires of the elite amassing the tokens of superiority. An innate dread of the failed policies of the past gripped the people, propelling them to seek a fresh, sustainable paradigm of cooperation.
This burgeoning awareness fed the growth of peace with neighbor and environment. The lands and people of Etus thus prospered—not in traditional metrics of competition for power and the illusions of happiness but in the true joy found in the harmony and quality of all being.
—Phant Everam, Historian
