They are not now, nor were then, the same.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nine hundred years in the past, in a tower, in a place called Galasien, a prince named Hasufin Heltain had an inordinate fear of death. That fear led him from honest study of wizardry to the darker practice of sorcery.<\/em><\/p>\n

His teacher in the craft, Mauryl Gestaurien, seeing his student about to outstrip his knowledge in a forbidden direction, brought allies from the fabled northland, allies whose magic was not taught, but innate. These were the five Sihh\u00eb-lords.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the storm of conflict that followed, not only Hasufin perished, but also ancient Galasien and all its works. Of all that city, only the tower in which Mauryl stood survived.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ynefel, for so later generations named the tower, became a haunted place, isolated within Marna Wood, its walls holding intact the horrified faces of lost Galasien’s people. The old tower was Mauryl’s point of power, and so he remained bound to it through passing centuries, although he sometimes intervened outside the tower in the struggles that followed in the lands the Galasieni had ruled.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Sihh\u00eb took on themselves the task of ruling the southern lands\u2026 not the Galasieni, who had become bound to Ynefel, but other newcomers\u2026 notably the race of Men, who also had crept down from the north. The Sihh\u00eb swept across the land, subduing and building, conquering and changing all that the Galasieni had made, creating new authorities and powers to reward their subordinates and dealing harshly with their enemies.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
