Ancient Era

After the Immortals where cursed with Mortality they where also blessed with new knowledge, the knowledge of Essence. Essence is the driving force behind all life in the world and can manifest into many different things, it can make a person stronger and faster, it can be used to control forces of nature, it can even be used to create new worlds or destroy old ones.

But the tree that The Creator had planted desperately wanted what was stolen from it back, so the tree came alive and rampaged throughout the land, killing any mortals it came across and draining all the essence from their bodies, desperately searching for the mortal who had taken the fruit, meanwhile King Albas had overthrown all other nations in his land and had been revered by the people as an invincible king.

But a great hubris was born from his power and he was eventually feared throughout the land as a demon, his heart grew cold and dead and he became a ruthless tyrant. He eventually had a son with the Tree's immeasurable essence already within him, the son he named Karcelot Koshpak, the son was a child prodigy who mastered all aspects of essence very early in his life. By the time he had come of age he was able to control all forces of nature with complete precision, he could summon hurricanes and lightning from just his finger tips, could hurl mountains from the earth, and could seed entire forests in a mere instant using his own essence as a life force.

He eventually approached the living tree that was rampaging throughout the land and when the tree saw him it immediately tried killing him and taking his essence, but during his confrontation with the tree he learned that his father, King Albas, had taken the fruit and that it was the source of his infinite power, so Karcelot confronted his father next and fought a fierce battle against King Albas, eventually defeating the king and feeding him to the tree as a sacrifice.

After this the tree was appeased and reverted to being an ordinary plant once again. The tree was henceforth knows as "The Tree of Death". Karcelot then declined the throne and secluded himself in the wilderness, practicing the arts of magic and sorcery.
