The Age of Discovery began when Alasdair, seeing that Tidhan had brought balance to the void, created a second primordial to bring into existence something more than balance. The ever one wove a new thread, Shiloh, into existence.
Near the beginning of this Age it was Shiloh, in their naive thought of youth, who conceived for themselves a physical form and birthed the Herthal Realm. Tidhan blessed this physical realm with the gift of growth. Through this combining of power by the first primordials that life was discovered.
