Deep in the realm of Shadows lies a mountain range full of dangers untold. Creatures that have never been properly seen by anyone still living, lurk within its many caves and crevices. Magical clouds of mist appear and disappear to envelope victims and age them in seconds, turning them into dust to join the timeless sands and dirt that make up the place. The mountains themselves are called the Ageless Chains and they surround a vast area of land that is very rarely seen. Within this area is an even rarer sight, a river of energy called the Time Chasm. The Chasm is like a flowing river but not for water, but time to come and events yet to be, always flowing in the same direction. This is one of the only places it appears above ground or in a reality that mortals can comprehend, the raw stuff of time a dangerous substance to tamper with. It has been an age since anyone has discovered this anomaly and even longer since anyone was able to harness its foresight, that was until now.
A Seraphon Temple was travelling through the dark lands of Ulgu, on the hunt for something they had foreseen to be of huge importance, but had not yet truly realised what it could be. Magical visions from his dreams drove the Slann commanding the Lizardmen to search. Using ancient artefacts of magical designs, they were able to pick up on the energy that emanates from the Time Chasm and homed in on its source. Using his powerful mind and skill with magic, the Slann looked into the flowing river and over days discovered the true potential of their find. The Seraphon then dedicated themselves to keeping the area safe, sending out scouting parties to secure the surrounding lands. They then fixed the temple in position a few hundred feet above the river flow, locking it floating in place. The Slann then used powerful binding spells to suspend himself below his ship and within reach of the energy of time itself. This enables him to sift through the essence and perceive events that are to come, using his mind and magic to do so. This has allowed the Seraphon to adjust quickly to coming events and protect the lands from intruders. It has also allowed them to warn other allies across the realms and avert turmoil for countless innocents. This was the true purpose for their occupation of the Time Chasm for Chaos was still present all across the realms.
Months went by during these times, eventually bringing unavoidable attention from more powerful foes. Malerion himself was interested in what was going on in his lands. This the Seraphon foresaw, a conflict with the Shadow Aelves that would be disastrous for both sides. The Slann had to break away from his scrying so that he could devote all his power into communicating with Malerion directly, though such a feat was difficult when dealing with a God of Shadow. But prevail he did and eventually an accord was drawn. The Aelves would even help protect the area with their own garrison and scouting parties, as long as the Slann reported findings that Malerion would be interested in. Particularly anything involving his scheming mother Morathi, for he was rather untrusting of her personal agenda and plans.
The Slann seeked to reinforce the defences even more so, despite having the combined forces of Aelves and Seraphon. His Skinks had reported that a pilgrimage of humans were moving through Ulgu not too far from the Ageless Chains, but it was indeed on the other side of the mountain range. The Slann tasked his best trackers to locate a safe route through the dangers of the cliffs and inform the crusade of the importance of the Time Chasm. Seraphon doesn't trust many beings but this Slann had learnt that Sigmar’s chosen warriors were of good judgement, so it was worth a try to reach out to them. The Chameleon Skinks of the Huanchi hunters were adept at this task so it didn’t take long for Skink emissaries to reach the humans and begin negotiations. Once the leaders learnt of what the Time Chasm was and what it was able to do in the right hands, they deviated a large portion of their force to accompany the lizards back and see for themselves. With the Huanchi to guide them and Terrawings keeping an eye from above, there were very few casualties within the train of pilgrims and warriors. After a few days of marching they finally made it to where the Seraphon Temple was positioned. There was a large protrusion of land that rose up and formed a cliff face that reared over the glowing lake below. The Seraphon were already using it to move troops to and from the temple itself, but there was still hundreds of square metres worth of space free. This was where the humans began to build, with the Slann’s blessing of course.
So with that Glimvast Eyrie was created. The city that hung out over the flow of time itself and protected the ancient Seraphon Temple that it was connected to. The Slann continued to relay information all over the realms to help protect the forces against chaos and strife, but most importantly he kept Glimvast well informed. Many times the city could have been destroyed were it not for the forewarning from the Slann and measures put in place to remove the threat before it could take form.
But not every situation can be worked around.
Not every future can be avoided or stopped.
It is only a matter of time before a real foe appears and threatens Glimvast with extinction. Whatever the fate that awaits them, the Humans, Aelves and Seraphon will meet it with steel, obsidian and magic.
