The Power of Raan is a thing that many cannot contain. It is an abstract form of destruction that many strive, and fail to contain within the perimeters of their mind. People and creatures alike try to prove dominance every day, be it cruelly, cautious, with great scholastic prowess, or with kindness. Many quiver and fall back into the dank, subdued pits of society that they struggle to be released from. Some make it out and bask in their own glory. But overall, none can fully comprehend that the Power of Ran can alter; even destroy life, and death if given enough time. The time for its parasitic grasp to take hold and root into all forms of the cosmos that is known and unknown. If one can harness powers ultimate grasp, and control the spread of its destruction, than full control of life and death could be at hand. But none have succeeded in controlling this awesome force, and until one does it will spread, infecting the minds of many, until it has taken its toll.

This portal was built to contain an evil force. Zavakomraan (even more fancy symbols) or in basic meaning, The Power of Raan. When the demigod, Azckarodd (even more) attempted to harness its force, he was sapped of all his life, and his legendary spirit was sent straight into the pits of hell. Many gods tried to save him, but he was lost. A portal was soon erected by the gods to hold the Power of Raan in its place, until one could come to successfully claim it, reverse its destructive power, and use it for good.” When the prophet, Taerdaneas told the world of the portal, many shunned him, thinking that his stories were but legends and myths lost in time. But what is a legend? What is a myth? Many believe that they are stories made to put children to bed at night, or to entertain. But in truth, they are as just as real as the ancient magik that surrounds the world. It all depends on whether one chooses to believe or not. In Taerdaneas’ plight, many chose not to believe, and their ignorance paid them a terrible price. For the story of the portal was true…..”
