At first it was strange I [Darksabre] was nothing more than a mere machine...my creators had apparently made several errors in my creation and for some odd reason I was cast down from the sky. As I fell my body changed to that of a human figure, and all my electronic systems became a strange sort of power source. Soon I learned that I had become a mage, and one of the first few sites I saw was truly startling, it was that of Kayal, and Ravane, then World's two clan leaders, bickering over one leveling without the others permission. It was odd at first, but as I watched it became obvious that the two were close friends, and I realized I had found a new home. As I rose in power, so to did I gain knowledge, soon it came to pass that Ravane disappeared, and Kayal had become a god. World was then left with new leaders, Glimi and Eirin. I knew both of them fairly well, and knew they would do a good job. It was not long before World's numbers grew to a point where a few more clan leaders were needed. As such it came to pass that both Helpist, and Talamar were selected to become the next clan leaders.

It was around that time that Ravane returned, and with his return we now had 5 leaders...trouble was bound to happen and it soon did. The clan Gatulot had become very powerful, and ran wild unchecked. It was not long before we became a target of their power hungry attacks, a great quarrel ensued, and all the leaders either left the clan, or simply disappeared. We were left in a great time of strife. As I had been in World for quite a while at the time, it came to pass that Kayal offered to make me a clan leader, but knowing that I needed more time I passed on the offer, as I had several times in the past. In my place, Lupus was raised to the position of clan leader, even though he knew he would soon have to leave. After much thinking, and a great many pleads from both Kayal, and fellow clan mates, I finally decided to accept the role of leadership. And so it came to pass that I became a leader. Since then I have grown and seen much, The departure of Lupus, and the ascendence to leadership of both Darius and Lews. As World began to grow and recover we once again regained our position of power.

Soon it came to pass that several of our bretheren followed in Kayal's footsteps and became gods themselves, Rizzen and Eirin became gods, and were forced to move on to other clans. However just as we had reached seemingly our highest point, with Rees, Kuore, and Thalia joining me Darius and Lews in the ranks of clan leadership, some awful catastrophe occurred. We knew not why or how, but as it had happened in the past, all were struck down. In the aftermath of the great event a few had apparently come through stronger than ever. Darius, and Kuore had also attained godhood, but just as some of us had risen in power, so too had some of us vanished. Thalia, Yavin, Eirin, Talamar, and Rizzen had not survived the catastrophe, and were seemingly lost to us forever. Other clans too had suffered similar blows.
