The Fae'hathel Fae'hathel Breeds The Al'ras
  • frmh7Zf.png

    From the birth of the world, infants were born of the elements. The Fae'hathel. Ancient beings of unimaginable power, these beings clung to the essence of life within the world, their solitary purpose being to ensure life would always flourish. However, the winds of fate were most cruel, sending quakes of fear through the Fae'hathel. The rise of the Al'ras was coming closer, ancient beings of dark energy who were only pleased when all around them was shrouded in darkness and destruction. But the Fae'hathel could not combat the Al'ras alone. In order to combat the threat, they agreed with Havenshire, the blacksmith of legendary repute, to have their souls formed into weaponry for the champions of the world's races to use in combat against the Al'ras threat.​

    The Al'ras. Beings beyond comprehension, their oozing, shadowy forms taking the visage of the darkness itself. These beings are lead under the banner of a single name. Vastitas. Their patriarch, monarch and leader, Vastitas is a name to be feared, to be whispered in the darkened alleys and hallways of Aeliatora, a name that brings with it curses as the ever growing darkness of night threatens to blot out the sun more with each day. These beings are destruction incarnate. ​

TIMELINE
The history of Vatialyn.

Our realm began in darkness. Eternal, ceaseless. Endless darkness in a tumultuous void of nothingness. Aeons of darkness lay in the void, until a peal of light shattered the olbivion, piercing the darkness with an infinite flash of light, stemming from nowhere and everywhere. They came. Our creators. The Precursors. They set about designing a nursery, a place where they could use their talents to create. They were Four. Set, who we call Mother Nature. Who spurred the very first buds and flowers into being, who made land and sea in harmony, islands of rock and mountains of stone. Arturion, Lord of Time, who allowed the sun to arc across the sky, who allowed Set's plants to grow. Who allowed there to be days. However, there was one such Precursors who allowed there to be nights. Terror, the Lord of of Darkness, created the night, so that every day, the sun could set and rest. But there was one who deviated from the rest of the Precursors. An unpredictable figure, with shifty glances and a charming smile. Archaon, the Lord of Chaos, who allowed what we know as evolution to change and reform the landscape, and remove predictability from the world around them.

They worked together to create our world, but even in perfect harmony, cracks will eventually form, and undermine what the creators had sought. Archaon, a being of unpredictability, had grown bored with the nursery that his fellow cohorts had created. He sought to entertain himself, sought to wring the world they had created from the influence of his fellow architects. Sought to bring an end to the control of the creator, and let chaos reign supreme.

He whispered dissent into the ears of his brethren, undermined their work, and blamed the others. Soon, they were like squabbling children. Arturion blamed Set for creating "imperfect specimens", animals and plants that were not aesthetically immaculate. Set blamed Terror for wilting her plants, causing the more defenseless of her animals to die at the hands of her created predators, and Terror blamed Arturion for making the night shorter than the day, saying darkness should be allowed to spread when the sun has not risen.

Soon the Precursors fought with actions, as they had exhausted the need for words. Set pulled apart the land, attacking her brothers with mountains, caverns and seas, killing intent fuelled by rage dancing across her eyes. Arturion tore across the realm, sending devastating blow after blow towards her comrade, watching he and Terror fall to each other as she finished the job.

However, one Precursor lay unscathed in the battle, having avoided the bloodlust. Archaon. A megalomaniac and sociopath, He clapped and cheered as his comrades killed themselves. But it was his time to die.

Or so it seemed. With the last vestiges of her energies, Set trapped Archaon within the boundaries between realms, sapping his power so he could not escape. And with that, the Precursors shattered like glass, their energies splitting into millions of pieces, taking aeons to form into the individual gods and goddesses Vatialyn's citizens know today. The Ancients.

This is the story of our world.

 

​

ANCIENTS: THE SEASONS
The gods of Glacium, Hearth, Blossom and Cascadia.

Glacium, Hearth, Blossom and Cascadia. The seasons of Vatialyn. Each seasonn grants power to an Ancient, one of Vatialyn's newer gods.

In Glacium, Rembrandt, the God of Peace and Honour rules supreme. Fair and brutally honest, Rembrandt is not afraid to speak his mind, although others who disagree often feel like they do not want to vocally clash with him.

In Hearth, Varael, Goddess of Victory, Conquerors and Fire takes the reins. A fiery, feisty woman, she has no time for weakness and will crush those she deems weak under her boots.

In Blossom, Alyssia, Goddess of Nature, Growth and Prosperity spreads life across the land, as animals are born, and plants grown anew.

In Cascadia, Orion, God of Dust, Sand and Transformation helps the land recover from it's sins, as the dust and sand hides it's dark histories.

However, none of the Ancients have seen or heard of Orion in a long time. Some say he disappeared into a sandstorm, never to be seen again.

 

ANCIENTS : THE PANTHEON
The other gods of Vatialyn.

Although the seasons take a special mention in the minds of Vatialyn's citizens, that does not mean the other Ancients within Vatialyn's pantheon are any less important.

Marina: Goddess of the Oceans, Rivers and Thunder. A flirtatious being, she often appears to sailors who have wronged the oceans, by committing crimes like overfishing, or polluting the waters, and dragging them into the depths, never to be seen again. She is a proud woman, capable of defending herself.

Cipher: God of Mysteries, Codes and Riddles. A being that is almost completely incomprehensible by nature, he speaks only in the godly language, known as Æthrïtańä, the Exalted Tongue.

Shadri and Lumia: Goddesses of Duality, Truth, Lies, Debauchery, Chastity, Light and Shadows. Twin sisters who are forever bickering, Shadri and Lumia represent the two sides of the metaphorical coin. Light, Darkness. Chastity, Debauchery, Truth and Lies. If one wins an argument, it can often end badly for those nearby.

Nesmerene: Goddess of Deceit, Treasure, Bartering and Memories. A secretive deity by nature, Nesmerene has an oddly alluring presence, often seen in markets, paying almost nothing to the traders she deals with. With golden eyes, she is a dangerous presence.

Lupa: Godess of Wolves, Bravery, Teamwork and The Pack. Often assuming the form of a wolf, she travels with a pack of spectral wolf spirits at night, and can often be heard for miles around, howling at the moon. She cares for others, and tries to instill bravery and teamwork into kind, lone mortals that she meets.

THE FRACTURES
Dangerous anomalies.

They appeared after the first Cataclysm. Warping, shifting, humming masses of matter that mortals could pass right through, but often never enter. Glassy and green to the eye, they were strange, anomalous to Vatialyn's environment. Those who passed by them often heard a thrum in their ears, deep, repetitive and gnawing. Those who passed by them often ended up temporarily deaf, having gazed directly at the rift's glowing mass and it's deep thrum.

But these anomalies were not just that, anomalous. They occurred because of the realms. Due to the First Cataclysm, even the realms themselves were unstable, according to the highest appointed mages and clergymen. The Precursors had left a dying realm in their wake. But the fractures themselves were not silent for long. What was once a glassy oddity arced bolts of green lightning across their surroundings, and They came. Horrifying creatures, wanting nothing more than to feed on flesh and bone.

With curses, come blessings, however. With one realm disrupted, so to was a multiverse of others, and many strangers have stepped into Vatialyn in recent years, many more combatting the threat of the Räshákh, the beings also known as They.

But there is something in these Fractures. Something that could be described as...pulling the strings of the realm. Something...dangerous. Soon, it may fracture Vatialyn itself.


 

MAGIC IN VATIALYN
For those with higher purpose.

When the Fractures first appeared, the air was filled with crackling energy that ignited the souls of those who were fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to be beside them when they erupted from nothingness. Their souls were invigorated, given abilities beyond mortal understanding. Over time, groups known as Schola have been formed with different creeds, to ensure the wellbeing of Vatialyn, as well as allowing the pursuit of greater knowledge for it's students.

The various Schola include:

Ambion: This schola believe the best defense against the wiles of evil magi is to simply carve out their ability to use magic. The Ambion schola believe that magic should be a bound and protected art, and imprint all their students with a subjugation spell in the form of a brand on their chests, that ensures that they may never kill another with magic.

Dispara: This schola has been shunned and cast away by all other schola in the realm. Dispara is a schola that focuses on the magic contained within the dead. Necromancers are born from this schola, able to ressurect the dead, but also give more life to the living.

Kashi: The Kashi schola believe that uniting oneself with the elements around them can lead them to a higher existence, to enlightenment. These magi are skilled in the arts of manipulating elements such as fire, water, earth and wind. However, there have been cases where aberrant magi have become skilled in manipulating elements such as lava and lightning.

Jivana: The Jivana schola believe that life is to be protected, whether it be mortal, plant or animal. To that extent, they are the most peace-loving of all of Vatialyn's schola, and will therefore cast out those who harm others, branding them as "Apa'ra", or "those who sin", so other Jivana magi, and indeed, all magi, know these individuals are dangerous.

FOCI​
All magi use Foci, crystals and pendants that allow them to focus the well of magical energy within them. These Foci are used mainly by novice magi, however as they grow in skill and wisdom, the Foci becomes more a symbol of achievement and a reminder of success, rather than a necessary tool for conjuration. However, in regards to the material realm, different materials are able to attract different wavelengths and elements of magical energy.

The gemstone known as Baronite, found most often in the caves of Erimere, is a key Foci in the conjuration and manipulation of fire. However, that of the gem known as Whinspar is most often used as a Foci for Jivana mages, whilst the Gantrichite gemstone is a common Foci for those of the Dispara schola. Finally, the Keinelian gemstone is most often used by that of the Ambion schola magi, as well as architects in building anti-magic defenses in fortresses and castles.




 

THE RACES OF VATIALYN
Coming in all shapes and sizes.


Vatialyn's denizens are varied, in shape, size and breed. Spread across the shattered realm, they have developed many cultural practices, unique to their individual races, that have shaped how mortals see their realm in this present age. Humans are the most dominant species in Vatialyn, in regards to geographical spread. Born pioneers, inventors and leaders, humans are naturally gifted in speechcraft.

However, in the depths of the ocean lay another of Vatialyn's species, the Achroma. Beings that resemble fish and amphibians, the Achroma are protective of their homeland, often seen walking on land to maim and kill sailors who over-fish in their territories.

There are others that are shunned with Vatialyn, that of the Iren. Beastfolk who are varied in species, from foxes, to bears and wolves, the Iren are shunned by humans because of their inherent lesser intelligence, compared to their more evolved human relatives. To this extent, the Iren believe in clan unity, and will often only trust humans and other races who have proved themselves to the individual clans of the Iren subraces.

In addition, there is a race that are more exclusive than that of the Iren, known as the Äraka. Tatooed women of various skin colours (such as primary colours), the Äraka believe in trial by combat as a method of proving your worth. Men are seen as objects to be used in Ärakan culture, but can be trusted eventually if they show they are worthy.


Finally, there is an ancient race within Vatialyn, said to be the essence of the precursor known as Set. That is, the race known as the Set'ra, a race of plant beings who wish for nature to flourish in such a divided world as Vatialyn. They believe industry is destroying the natural world, so culturally do not use or like metals or machinery.

Using Foci

When magi use foci, their whole inner being awakens, as too does their true potential. Foci enable magi to create arcs of dancing flame, to bring men back from near death, and even throw lightning itself. However, using Foci comes with a price. With focus comes consequence, and injury can often occur to those overusing their magic. Jivana mages often return from medical tents with gashes and bruises like their patients, and Kashi Fire Mages often fall unconscious from oxygen deprivation. Mages know their limits because of this, and are careful not to overuse their magic.

Foci Materials:
Foci are conduits for the magic power of a standard schola magi, and are most usually some form of gemstone. For example, the gemstone known as Baronite, found most often in the caves of Erimere, is a key Foci in the conjuration and manipulation of fire. However, that of the gem known as Whinspar is most often used as a Foci for Jivana mages, whilst the Gantrichite gemstone is a common Foci for those of the Dispara schola. Finally, the Keinelian gemstone is most often used by that of the Ambion schola magi, as well as architects in building anti-magic defenses in fortresses and castles.
