jan 1, 1230 - Birth of the Silverbloods
Description:
Near the banks of the Oirervand (Wrathful Water, then the River Black), a great concentration of the Corruption's residues began to mass, allowing Eterisk, who lay banished in the endless void beyond the Walls of Eternity, to exhert a degree of influence on the Existence far greater than ever before since its banishment.
The Aspect found Truesilver (Platinum) buried beneath the banks of the river, a metal created by Myvala which channeled Energy better than any other material ever conceived (As Myvala was a fragment of the Aspect, it can be argued that it itself was responsible for the creation of Truesilver).
With it the Aspect weaved the blood of beings which it sought to control - beings of pure arcane might through which it would conquer the Realms of the Existence and take its vengeance against the First Fool. Knowing that its window of opportunity was short, The Aspect forwent giving its new creations traits as fine as those of men in favor of ensuring the might of their arcane, silvery blood. Their flesh was pale and thin, and although they were of great height their bodies were lithe and gangly, unsuited for combat or toiling. As a final act, the Aspect gave the creatures traits which enhanced their senses, such as wide eyes which could see better than those both men and Vourenkinn, and long, knife-like ears which would twitch at the faintest hint of sound. A trait he did not give them manifested on its own; that of shining azure irises, byproduct of the arcane might coursing through their beings.
As Elanna struggled with enacting the transformation of many of Ár's creatures into the Arcane Beasts, the Aspect seized the High Currents, which were merely concentrated streams of the Essence of Alteration that it had made manifest upon its creation by the First Fool's awakening from the ever-changing dream, and bound every single one of the newly born beings to them, weaving their biology so their offspring would be bound to them as well. The Aspect gifted its creations with so much of its essence that other Aspects exerted a lesser influence upon them. The influence of time would be as a crawling change upon then, and it would cease to affect them altogether the older they grew (As they would come to handle such vast quantites of Eterisk's Essence through training that the other Aspects would not be able to touch them at all)
Driven by its pride, the Aspect gave its creations the possibility to bear offspring with the Human race, as it too Eterisk had created.
Before this new race could come awake at the banks of the River Oirervand, however, some strange force stuck Eterisk all of a sudden and superseded its influence, gifting the Aspect's creations with free will moments before they drew their first breaths. Outraged, Eterisk struck back at this sudden force, and found itself matched evenly. It was then that the Aspect realized that it was Myvala's Essence that he was facing, which to its horror Eterisk realized was no longer bound to itself. The broken goddess cast the Aspect back to its prison in the Inexistence, for although its power was far greater than that of any of the Ten or even the Primordials themselves (Each of the other Aspects were its perfect match), its grasp on the Existance was not nearly as strong as theirs and so its own power of Alteration was lesser than theirs. Myvala, torn asunder though as she was, held more power in death than the Aspect, and with great effort drew its influence away from Ár and back to its own realm of Exile.
By Myvala's doing, Állteir's premonition was fulfilled: It would be Eterisk itself, ambitious far beyond its equals, who would be the architect of its own downfall. But deep in the timeless reaches of the Inexistence the banished Aspect began to plot again.
The Aspect's creations found themselves without purpose, as Eterisk could not command them to seize Ár. In time, these would come to be known as the Silverbloods even though it was Truesilver (Platinum) that coursed in their veins (The properties of the metal were known only to the Vourenkinn, but those whom later found the beings roaming the banks of Oirervand did not shed their blood, nor studied their physiology)
