Editing Falatacot (section)

=== Early History ===
The Falatacot existed on a continent that [[Geraine IV]] later states is located beyond the western sea.<ref>2002/09 [[Verdict]] - [[Decrepit Tome]]</ref> The occupation of lands to the west is again mentioned by [[Gaerlan]]: Far to the west, beyond the scope of Ireth Lassel they erected their homes, secluded, removed and all together separate.<ref name=TomeElements>2002/04 [[Betrayal]] - [[Tome of the Elements]]</ref>

The Falatacot were driven to [[Killiakta]] by [[Yalain]], [[Haebrous]], and [[Dericost]]. It is on Killiata where they first heard the pulse of the [[Blood of the World]]; where they ceased to be wanderers, and became the Keepers of Creation; where they became the blessed servants of the [[Wheel of All Things]].<ref name=WordsMatriarch>2006/11 [[Remembering the Past]] - [[Words of the High Matriarch]]</ref> They found that on [[Killiakta]], or Dereth, that mana was most concentrated, and plentiful.<ref name=TomeElements>2002/04 [[Betrayal]] - [[Tome of the Elements]]</ref>

The Falatacot, studied the art of Geomancy with an unquenchable thirst. They called upon the resonance that echoed from within the world at the structures erected in the time before.<ref name=TomeElements>2002/04 [[Betrayal]] - [[Tome of the Elements]]</ref>

They diverged into two branches: the [[Dark Falatacot]], dealing in the power of undead and corruption in service to the [[Old One]]s; and the [[Light Falatacot]], working to protect what they consider to be worshipful spirits - the [[Deru Tree]]s.<ref>2008/08 [[Ancient Powers]] - [[Knight Test]]</ref><ref name=MoarsI>2004/07 [[Treaties in Stone]] - [[History of the Moars on Dereth, Part I]]</ref> The Sisters split when some of them began "quickening" other races. This led to a schism, and some of the eternal bodies of the Dark Sisters were locked away in Temples. [[Qin Xikit]] was the first to experience this.<ref name=TempleXikit>2004/11 [[On Bended Knee]] - [[Clutch of Kings (Browerk)#Lore & Dialog]]</ref>

The Dark Sisters have a strict, matriarchal, hierarchy. They made extensive use of Blood Magic and sacrifices for their goals.<ref name=Ibrexi>2004/04 [[A New Threat]] - [[Ibrexi Jikti's Journal]]</ref><ref name=Jexki>2004/04 [[A New Threat]] - [[Jexki Ki's Journal]]</ref><ref name=Expedition>2004/04 [[A New Threat]] - [[The Last Expedition of Ixir Zi]]</ref><ref name=Kixkti>2004/04 [[A New Threat]] - [[Kixkti Xri's Journal]]</ref>

Somewhere during the early history of [[Auberean]], [[Kemeroi]] overpowered the Old Ones.<ref>2006/04 [[Shining Runes and Shadowed Hands]] - [[Announcements_-_2006/04_-_Shining_Runes_and_Shadowed_Hands#Rollout_Article|Rollout Article]]</ref>
