Here's the story of Eratin:
A thousand years ago, there lived a civilization known as the Ulan.  The Ulan were much like the Thran of Dominaria.  They constructed thousands of artifacts and put mana essences within them.  The legacy of the Ulan lives on through the Gyros, who were originally built to protect major Ulan trading centers and city centers.
The Ulan made one final error; the Scarab Orb.  After infusing it with a great amount of mana, the Scarab Orb summoned the three Hilan Scarabs; monster machines long thought to be nothing but a myth for even the Ulan.  When the Hilan Scarabs attacked Eratin, all hope was lost.  The Ulan were obliterated and the Gyro stashed away the Scarab Orb underground, hoping no one would awaken the Hilan Scarabs that destroyed their masters.  When the Gyros reversed the mana flow, the Scarabs were sent back to Mogen Rock.

Keywords of Eratin:
True Art (If CARDNAME is cast with only mana color, [effect].)
Excavate (When CARDNAME is in your graveyard, you may pay [cost]. If you do, return CARDNAME to your hand.)

Background on Larek:
Larek is the only human settlement on Eratin. After the Ulan race were killed by the Hilan Scarabs, the humans of Eratin were also attacked by most the Rimids. Only a few humans survive to this day.

Background on the Rimid:
Rimids were the product of an ancient experiment done by the Ulan's ancient enemies; the Morgashi. These necromancers used animals of their natural habitat of the Dank Darkwood to create new creatures. The Morgashi have long been dead due to the dark methods and the Ulan's efforts to kill them before the necromancy poisoned the land itself.

Background on the Gyros:
Much like the Myr of Mirrodin, these constructs were built by the Ulan to protect the Scarab Orb from being discovered. However, after a thousand years of sleep, they have forgotten their initial goal and spread out of the Ulanian ruins of Ruashi to embark on their own journeys. (they are artifact creatures with mana and souls).

Background on Mogen Rock:
The land where the Hilan Scarabs are from. The Gomatoids (Insect-humanoid species) have long considered Mogen Rock as the gods' seat on Eratin. (much like Olympus for the gods of Greece). The Gomatoids have scattered since the last time the Hilan Scarabs (the evil gods, to them) were released. They are few in number and one of the oldest races on Eratin.

Is Rimid just Dimir backwards or is it just a coincidence? :P
