The Alliance of the Ages was a basic agreements between the three most powerful races at that time. The idea behind it was that if any member of these three races went to war with any of the other of the three races, everything around would die. The basic agreement was that they should never go to war with each other, and try to step on each other's feet as little as possible. This agreement was later expanded upon as each of the three races realized that if fully joined in a full partnership, they would be considered unstoppable, even by the new races that had arisen in the 150 years that had elapsed between the basic alliance and the full partnership, such as the Galoedin, the other elves, dwarves, and gnomes, the Darks, the Rinaryns, the Fincayrans, the Kamalti, and most especially, the Humans. Later added to this list was the tage community in general.
    The Alliance broke down because the three races were seperated. The Humans and younger races swelled in abundance, and the old trade routes were lost. As feared, the younger races became jealous of the Kelm, Ifreesians, and the Stormseekers and their powers, and these three races had to go into hiding, where they have stayed ever since.
    There is an island somewhere that is nearly impossible to get to. This island has a massive storehold of the technology of the Alliance. It is believed that this island may have been where the Old Tower of the tages was, which would explain the sudden boost in power of the tages. This island was lost in the Breaking of the tages, and sunk with the tower, and the technology still in it.
