• History: The Amazons were created over 3,100 years ago to teach the merits of virtue, love, and equality. They failed, and as punishment, they were led to a remote island, where they were tasked with guarding Doom's Doorway. They began new lives on Themyscira, erecting buildings and monuments, while perfecting their skills as artisans and warriors. For centuries, the Amazons lived in a perfect state of harmony with their surroundings. Occasionally, the Nereids would bring young infants to their shores that would have drowned otherwise. These infants would be tutored spiritually in Amazonian ideals, and then sent back mystically to the place of their disappearance.
