Doom

The Doom is part of Tellura's History

The Doom reffers to the time between the Shaman revealing its self, to it's fall at the hands of the clockworks. There were several pockets of resistance during the hundred year period or the Shaman's rein, but all the major cities eventually fell, either through Soul Binding or direct millitary force. Towards the end of this period the Shaman began digging Wells into the Amalgam.

Pre Doom Conditions
It's believed that the Shaman may have had agents in place long before the Doom, who shaped the actions of the Revanists and encouraged the Morning Star Rebellion. The massive three way conflict created the perfect environment for the Shaman's Soul Binding. It also ment the bulk of Tellura's millitary forces and hardware were concentrated at certain points in the Outlands, allowing the Shaman to bolster it's own forces by claiming Tellura's

During the Doom
The Shaman’s Soul Bound armies turned inward, toward the Orm, rolling over cities, turning allies against each other and slaying those who could not be turned. Over the course of the 15 year campaign the Shaman was able to claim all the major cites, but pockets of resistance still existed. They are lead by a variety of factions primary among which are the Sons of Light, Mechanica Engineering Core, and the Sun Spears. The desperation causes these groups to work together more effectively than they had ever before, sharing secrets of magic and technology as well as tactics and leadership. But even their combined strength did little to hinder the Shaman’s dominance. With each large conflict the Shaman’s forces grew and the Resistance shrank.

The Shaman maintained conrtol of Tellura for well over a hunder years. During this time the Shaman began doing something rather inexplicable. It undertook a widespread effort to create huge shafts deep into the earth revealing large swaths of the Amalgam. A huge, impenetrable tangle of techmaturgical machinery deep below Tellura’s earth and stone, serving both as a barrier blocking downwards progress, and a network that links all the ACEs into one enormous engine. In the current day most of these Wells have been boarded up or filled in, but a few remain open for researching their purpose and the Amalgam itself. Some even say that various factions are hiding Wells, or are even attempting to recreate them.
