Many centuries ago with its first owner, Kagemni. the infamous Drinker of a Thousand Lives blade was enchanted by the necromancer Diarbekir for his brother, Kagemni, first king of Ysawis.A huge deposit of lodestone lies at the bottom of the Crowded Sea – is this the meteor that ended the rule of the gods and genies.The gods responded by hurling a moon-sized boulder into the ocean, splashing the water into the surrounding desert and crushing the giant and his army of minions. The Pit of Ghuls once contained an ocean, ruled by an arrogant giant who demanded that the gods recognize him as an equal.In an age before men worshiped the righteous god, Ahz’ahk, a noble efreet, challenged the Sultan of the City of Brass and was banished to the Pit of Ghuls to try and carve out his own empire (Caravans pg 51).The gods and genies fled (were destroyed by the meteor?). Some people fled to the mountains and became the hill tribes, few others remained (survived) in the lands of the gods and genies and became the faithful of the gods. (Could the gods be giants or titans?) The gods and genies fought over something precious to both, they rent the land and the sky filled with fire (a meteor). The gods sailed the great sea and fought with the genies. Long long long ago: Gods and genies lived in Zakhara but did not know how to share.

Long long long ago: Before Nog and Kadar existed, dragons came to Zakhara but they were slain or turned away by the power of the genies (From the Dragon and the Genies tale).
