Many millennia ago, Xu was filled to the brim with various kinds of flora and fauna. How unfortunate it was then, that Ereon, a son of Aonir, found himself wandering into the home of the Dryards - ancient creatures blessed with the magic of nature. He fell in love with one of their kind, a love his brothers and sisters would not approve of. They cursed the Dryad for seducing their sibling and took away her power, causing the once green Xu to decay into a wasteland.
The other Dryads retaliated but were no match for their might - they were driven out of Xu, leaving only Ereon's lover behind in her cove. So it remained for countless years: Many races came and went, kingdoms rose and fell - the Dryad lived through it all, yet remained powerless in her pitty. It wasn't until the Rune Wars had finished and Ereon had been redeemed that she was granted her powers back - once again turning the deserts of Xu into the most beautiful garden the world had ever seen.
- Important Individuals:
