It came to pass some years later that a small group of Erudites discovered the lost art of Necromancy. They were branded heretics and great conflict arose. For the first time in several hundred years, the Erudites fought. They engaged in a civil war not entirely dissimilar to that which they had loathed and fled from back on the mainland. But there was one very significant difference: they did not use swords and bows, but rather magic, and the result was terrible. In one final battle, great mystic energies were released and an immense hole leading to unknown depths beneath the earth was created.
