In this era the great essences have been silenced because of the catastrophic war with the Xyn between the Great old ones. Their souls and and essences silenced they are reborn and live among mortals. Many great essences are drawn unconciously to Taerran.

Many races begin to enter the gates and soon a great war breaks out between these mortal races. Eventually peace is found and a council for all the races is formed and control for the government is held in the great Gate City where all the gates are located. The planet begins to develop with all these races living among each other separate from their homeworlds control by treaties and pacts. Unknowingly to these mortal secret great gods exist among them, yet to discover their true selves again, but their time to awaken is on the horizon.
