Age of Wilderness

The island of Sidterra was a large yet remote tropical island that seemed to have an abundance of natural arcane energy flowing through it. Being a remote location, a group of hundreds including holy men, scientist, magic researchers and well meaning adventurers used it as a location to attempt something that they felt could revolutionize the world. Their plan was to create a large permanent barrier that would not only prevent evil from being able to enter, but also expel any evil that may have already been there. The endeavor was going to be long and arduous, but if they could make this work it could bring peace and prosperity to the world. The work was divided among the people between researching, building, gathering materials, providing food and care for the team etc. For a while it seemed as if this was a fool’s errand. Many left the project while only a few joined it later on. After 151 years and many failed attempts, the barrier was finally completed. It was done by creating 5 obelisks that surrounded the perimeter of the island powered by holy runes, clockwork mechanics and the island’s natural arcane energy. The obelisks performed an advanced arcane spell to protect the island and each other. If one obelisk was to be attacked, the other 4 would reinforce it, expelling it’s attacker with the same energy that protected the island. At its completion, the team working on the barrier consisted of only 108 people of different races and ages that became known as The 108 Saints.
