In the ages preceding the Age of Enthronement, Absalom did not exist; some go so far as to say that the Isle of Kortos itself had yet to rise above the waves of the Inner Sea. All this changed when Aroden, at the time still mortal, raised the Starstone from the depths to its current location, making it the focus of what would become the City at the Center of the World. Whether or not the Last Azlanti also raised, or created, the Isle of Kortos has been the subject of debate for millennia. That he did so remains the pervading belief of the natives and of many religions, although no supporting records date back farther than 1450 AR.

abstract	In the ages preceding the Age of Enthronement, Absalom did not exist; some go so far as to say that the Isle of Kortos itself had yet to rise above the waves of the Inner Sea. All this changed when Aroden, at the time still mortal, raised the Starstone from the depths to its current location, making it the focus of what would become the City at the Center of the World. Whether or not the Last Azlanti also raised, or created, the Isle of Kortos has been the subject of debate for millennia. That he did so remains the pervading belief of the natives and of many religions, although no supporting records date back farther than 1450 AR. The confusion regarding Absalom's origins is not unfounded. Aroden performed his task alone, and spoke little of it afterward. Records of the first few centuries of life in Absalom are spotty at best; the Founding Law of Absalom was written in stone within Azlanti Keep, but no other original documents survive. Four millennia of mold, accident, and possibly intentional sabotage have destroyed every book, scroll, or tablet kept before 400 AR. Copies of copies, each claiming to represent the original text, can be found throughout the city, but even within Forae Logos, editions rarely agree with one another. As a result, much of the first millennium of Absalom's history is less history and more mythology. Regardless of the city's actual origins, its whole-cloth creation allowed for quick settlement, and Aroden gave the best and the bravest of the Inner Sea region the task of protecting the Starstone from any who might move it.
