The Human Revolt

Peace ensued for a time after the Pillars were raised. But after numerous cycles of humans being born, abducted and transformed at the whims of the Guardians, trouble came again. The human Guardian Moebius, abducted by the Ancients to be raised in their Citadel and eventually turned, began to hear the Elder God's voice. The Elder God, hating its former followers for the immortality that kept them from his Wheel of Fate, spoke to Moebius of the tyranny that the Ancients imposed, bloodsuckers abducting Guardians and stealing away their humanity. Driven by the words of this alleged god, Moebius convinced another, the necromancer Mortanius, to join him in starting a rebellion. Together, they rejected the Ancient blood and rallied their fellow humans into war against the remaining Ancients, a war which left only one alive. The last surviving Ancient fled for his life and despite the efforts of his once-noble race, the Pillars nonetheless fell into human hands, their binding magic doomed to eventually fail under the incompetent stewardship of the fragile human race.
