It began with a seed, which Esvelen nurtured and grew into a large tree which held the power of creation itself. As it grew so did the universe. Esvelen decided that he couldn’t rule this land alone and thus created three guardians to help him guard the realm. Althys: Goddess of the Sky. Thehtia: Goddess of the Sea. Omen: God of the Land. In the beginning all creatures lived in peace and harmony.
To populate this land, Esvelen created humans. They also granted their guardians the right to make a race of their own to populate each realm, along with animals and nature.
First created was the Dwaves, Omen's people, who loved mining and exploring his rocky realm, builing enormous underground cities and mines.
Althys then created the Elves, graceful people, connected with nature and magic, who build grand palaces up in the clouds of the Plane of Sky.
The Goblins were created last by Thehtia, they were at home in the aquatic realm of Thehtia and built many underwater structures.
To Althys and Omen was born a child. His name: Cepheus. To protect the child, Althys hid him, until a time would come that Omen was defeated, and he could take his father’s place
Over time Omen grew greedy for power. Ruling Land alone was not enough for him. He wanted to rule the Universe. His realm became corrupted, a realm of fire and evil. Darkness spread into the world.
Omen joined forces with the Necromancer, Ruler of the Dead. Together, they rallied the creatures of darkness and waged war upon the realm.
To keep their people safe, Esvelen sent them to another dimension called Aycia: away from the dangers of war. It was only accessible through the Path of Stars. When a person died, their spirit and soul (mind and heart) were split apart, and sent to the corresponding realm. There were three types of spirit, and three types of soul. Good, Neutral and Evil. Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic. The Realm of Sky was the Realm of Law and Good. The Realm of Sea of the Realm of Neutrality. The Realm of Earth was the Realm of Chaos and Evil. If soul and spirit was united, one was granted a second life. When a person died once more they dissolved to ash and became one with Aycia once more.
To defend the people of Aycia from evil, Esvelen created the dragons. Only dragons could travel the Path of Stars which connected Aycia and the Spirit Realm.
Already well adapted to life on land, the dwarves were not as affected by the move to Aycia. They settled underground as miners and blacksmiths, and delved deep beneath the mountains, discovering powerful ores, and building great cities. Their most powerful and richest was Kendohr, because of it's valuable ore; mithril.
After centuries of war, Omen was finally defeated. The Gods sent him to eternal sleep, trapping his mind in the Astral Plane. This marked the beginning of a new Age, an Age of peace and harmony.
To keep the peace between the races, and now the conflict was over, each god chose the most powerful warrior of their race to be sent to Aycia as their ambassador and guardian.
Over time, as the elves adapted to life on Aycia, they began to lose their connection with Althys, and their magic dwindled. With no use for flight, their ability to conjure illusionary wings was forgotten, lost to time.
As creatures of the Realm of Ocean, the Goblins lived undisturbed for many years. But as the human population grew, so did their demand for food. As the humans learned to fish, their time of peace came to an end, and they were forced to leave their ocean home and evolve to live on land.
As their populations grew, the races clashed. Land was growing scarce, and no one was willing to share. Despite the best efforts of their ambassadors, no agreement could be made. War was brewing in Aycia.
The dragons were powerless to stop the brewing conflict, for they had their own problems to deal with. With no chosen leader, the dragons fell into great battle, the victor to be crowned as King.
From the fray two dragons emerged. One white, the other black. Light against Shadow. For a decade the dragons fought, and it seemed it would never end.
The other dragons proposed a compromise when neither could defeat the other. They proposed the formation of a council. The strongest member of each element would represent them as their Elemental Leader, and the goal of the Council would be as Esvelen intended; to keep the peace.
To solve the conflict brewing in Aycia, the Guardians of Magic along with the Council of Dragons, agreed to split the land between the races.
