Line 15: Line 16:
 With the second fall of Ermor, hope finally came to the Scelerian remnants of the ancient empire. The fear of the dead faded and the undead legions were no longer needed. Instead the soulless were put to menial labor. But the Thaumaturgs turned their attentions elsewhere. The common people became ever more dissatisfied. Some soulless slaves still toiled the land, but with the thaumaturgs less interested in reanimating slaves for the populace, the common men felt abandoned. Demands were made that the Thaumatugs should provide slaves to keep the kingdom going. The conflict escalated and finally, in an act of remarkable hubris, the Thaumatugs decided to settle the problem once and for all. In a great ceremony every Thaumaturg in the kingdom joined a communion and poured their lower souls into a ritual that would open a gate to the underworld, so that the dead willingly might return to the land of the living as workers and farmers. The ritual succeeded, in a way. The gate opened, but the lower souls of the Thaumaturgs where ripped apart and swallowed by the gate. And from the gate emerged, not dead servants, but a spectral host of legionnaires and shadows. Now the land is slowly withering and falling under the dominions of a God of darkness. Ghosts and spectral legions reclaim a land once theirs and the shattered souls of the former Thaumaturgs are mustering the shadows and memories of a glorious past. With the second fall of Ermor, hope finally came to the Scelerian remnants of the ancient empire.

-The origin of the name "Lemuria" is unclearpossibly reference to "Remuria", a city founded by Remus in some Roman myths.+The origin of the name "Lemuria" and the theme of the nation comes from Roman [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemures|Lemures]]the shades or spirits of malignant dead in Rome. Lemuria is also the name of Roman festival dedicated to exorcising these spirits. There is no singular of Lemures in Latin, but the name of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemur|the famous primates from Madagascar]] (lemurs) does derive from Lemures, because of their ghostly appearance.
