Shrouded in mystery, before the concept of time even existed, and before any mortals were

around. What is written is often debated by historical scholars. Much of the texts have been told,
retold, handed down through the ages. Some say the very Gods helped people write the origins,
and others say it's a creation of fantasy.

What is most often believed upon the creation is that it began a long time ago in the Dawning
Age. Some historians say that since this was before the concept of time that this could have
lasted billions of years or longer. Others say it was instant. All accounts have varying degrees of
interpretation. From the scholarly debates conducted all over the world, to the cultural writings
being handed down through generations. Some of these accounts contradict themselves. Of
what I write to you is the most widely excepted view of world events. However, there are
cultures and nations that don't except this interpretations of the past.

__**Dawning Age**__: (*approximately 0~60,000 cycles)

In the beginning, is debated how it began. Some say The One Above All came from the Astral
Sea and created the world Terra Nova, but others say the Primal Elementals created the world.
But one thing was curtain. It was a mass of rock, fire, water and air was floating through the
Astral Sea. Chaos without form and shape. Four Primal Elementals ruled and created what they
could, but it was chaos. Creating and destroying in an endless cycle with no rhyme or reason.
Each of the Primal Elementals ruling over their element, Melastrom of fire, Agua of water,
Stoneé of earth, and Aasar of air. The Primal Elementals created lesser elementals to help
create their elements. Each wanted to dominate the other elements. No real shape or form to
the land. It was chaos. The Primal Elementals being made of their element they took the forms
of those elements. Some of the elemental actions seem alien to us now. They come off logical
at times and irrational at others. They seemed to be either completely neutral or complete chaos
at the same time. Dealing with the elementals was said to be like playing with fire. Their
reactions were all or nothing. But all the anicent text say to tread lightly with them for they only
know their own agendas. There was nine moons orbiting Terra Nova at this time.

The High Creator, also known as The One Above All, or the Overlord, came to this world from
the Astral Sea, and it became known as Terra Nova, which meant New Land in a forgotten
language, some Believe it came from ancient Titain. The High Creator said to others, many
millennia years later that, they felt a pull from the Astral Sea. This force was strong like gravity.
They left their other works and they came to find out why and when they got here it was a mass
of elements with no form or real shape. It was "structure without purpose" qouted from anicent
elven texts translated into common. The One Above All was said that they saw rae potential.
They could see all the possibilities and they knew it could become something great.

The Overlord is described as being two beings in one or just being one entity. Two sides of the
same coin. They are all races and none. They are all genders and none. A yin and yang. Some
describe they as a couple holding hands, others say they are the same body with one side
being the male half and the other being the female. One persons description was of a elven
man in the face but where the back of the head was a fear en female. One side representing
chaos and the other being law/order and the space in-between being the neutral. One face
being male and on what should be the back of the head is actually a face of a female. The face
shifts as you look upon it and some say it looks different from person to person. Others describe
the High Creator as a coin constantly flipping in the air. Some have written that The One Above
All appears different to whomever sees them. Of the old Temples to Overlord, none of which
was said to be the same or similar.

One of the first things the High Creator made was the sun. It was a ball of burning gas burning
hot to warm the world and bring light, which at this time had no name. They made the world turn
to get both light and dark in the same day. Everything the Overlord created had an equal and
opposite. Later on they would make the Tree of Life and the Weed of Death after the time of
Titains. The Tree of Life has the names of the Gods and all things that are living. The Weed of
Death has all the names of those who have died. Where the tree and weed is now in the
present has been lost to time. The Overlord brought forth many Gods to help create something
into this formless world during this time. Some say these Gods are the children of the High
Creator, but no one knows for sure.

The names of the Gods that were created have changed many times. Some cultures having
their own name for them. I'll be writing them in common from here on out to avoid confusion.
They originally were formless and as they created and were later worshiped, then they changed
into form.:

Everlight is the Goddess of light, hope, happiness, and birth. Represented by an elven woman
bathed in light with long blonde hair and light coming from her eyes. Normally drawn with
yellows and greens. Her symbol is a eight pointed star. (Lawful Good)

Dawnfather is the God of the Sun, truth, and warmth. Is often depicted as a sun in a Holden suit
of armor. (Lawful Good)

Goodfeather is the God of the heavens, renewal, laughter, and rebirth. Represented as an
assimar man. His symbol is a white wing. (Neutral good)

Evergreen is the Goddess of nature, growth, and contempt. Represented by a leaf and her
symbol is the same. (Chaotic Good)

Hopetree is the Goddess of hope, redemption, and happiness. Represented by crown with
thorns, her symbol is the same. (Chaotic Good)

Malhumette (the hammer) is the God of forge, tools, and technology. Represented by a
hammer. (True Neutral)

(Unknown) is death, new beginnings, destiny, and endings. Represented by a raven. (True
Neutral)
Alput (the fist) is the God of law, order, and time. Represented by a gauntlet. (Lawful neutral)

Tempest is the God of weather, knowledge, magic. Represented by the a storm cloud with a
lightning bolt coming out of it. (Chaotic neutral)

Void is the God of darkness, depression, and secrets. Represented by a black circle. (Chaotic
Evil)

Asmodeus is the God of the Hells, lies, and power. Represented by a crown with horns. (Lawful
Evil)

Neptune is the God of the oceans, anger, and greed. Represented by a giant squid. (Neutral
Evil)

Maggot is the God of decay, revenge, and undead. Represented by a decaying hand. (Chaotic
Evil)

All these Gods shaped the world and became known as the Primary Pantheon. They created
demigods to help with this process, although most of their names have been lost to time. Some
of them being killed in future wars and other falling into obcurity. They created mountains,
forests, oceans, the sky, and animals. Then over time they created the first race. Known as the
Titains. They were sixty to a hundred feet tall. Their bodies made of the elements around them.
They could bend the very fabric of reality with magic. The very concept of magic was very new
at this point. The Weave has not been created yet. At this point magic was wild and didn't seem
to have limits. The concept of time and death also did not exist at this point. After awhile the
Titains began to rise up to their creators. Claiming that they were just being used as slaves. The
War of the Children had begon. The Titains managed to kill off many of the demigods and a few
of the original Gods, their names are lost to time. No one knows how long the war lasted but it
left scars on the world and within the astral sea. The magic they welded had no restrictions. At
this time all but two of the moons were left in the sky, Luna and Forbus. The rest of the moons
either crashed into Terra Nova or disappeared.

With the help of the Primal Elementals, the Gods killed the Titains. Afterwards, the Gods choose
to make only creations that couldn't raise up and disobey. They created time, and death.
Tempest created the weave to control magic, but it was loose compared to what we had today.
It worked differently that how it works today. The One Above All created the Tree of Life and
Weed of Death to bring life and death into the world. The Gods then created mortal races.
Races would now know about life and death. And in creating the tree of life and weed of death
created the Heavens and the Hells. Different gods took up the domains for both and the domain
of death helped sort where the souls would go. The Fae were amongst the first of these mortal
races that was created. The Fae created many cities and empires. Most fell into ruin over time.
Much of the history we know was written by the Fae and left behind or carved into monuments.
The Fae lived for a long time. Some say for hundreds of millenna. Then the shadow creatures
were created. After some time, it was a mix of chaos and peace. The Elementals generally
didn't pay much attention to the mortals, but would destroy whatever came in their way. But
good, evil, lawful and chaotic creatures all roamed the land together. Magic was still wild and
uncontrolled. The Elementals created large crystals that still litter the land today. No one knows
for sure what they are for, but they crackle with energy.

After some time, the High Creator seeing the faults in their creation. They created the spectrum,
this moment in history is known as The Divide by most scholars. It split the creatures into what
we now know as the Fey Wild, the shadow realm and the material plane. Most of the Fey went
to the Fey Wild, and the shadow creatures went to the Shadow Realm. The rest stayed in the
Material plane. The Spectrum weren't different planes but they all existed together at the same
time on the same plane, but like looking through a prism and you get different light, it worked
much the same. Each existing in the same plane but not able to interact with each other. Unable
to see each other. They are like stacked on top of each other, like plates taking up the same
space but not actually being the same. The barrier in-between was thin and sometimes was
breached. Many at the time, not just mortals, didn't understand the reason for The Divide or
how some races were choosen to be on what side. This created more discourse not just with
mortals. Other Gods objected and made their opinions known, not just to other Gods, but to
mortals as well. It was at this time the world became known as Eva (pronounced Ava, or Eeva),
the word comes from old Fae language for mother or creator.

Generally, a person on one side of the spectrum can't interact with the other, but being the
fabric keeping these realms apart is so thin, that sometimes things break through.
That's how some of the Fey came from the Fey Wild into the Material plane. Then their
ancestors became what we know as Elves. This took thousands of years. They were tall and
slinder. They lived to about a thousand years. They had points on the ends of their ears. They
had an uncanny connection with nature and magic.

A little while later some more creatures came through the barriers known as Gnomes. Much
shorter than elves, but still had the point on their ears. They lives to about five hundred years.
They loved to know how things worked and made mechines. Around the same time the Fairies
came through. They had wings and were much smaller. They often choose to stay in the wild
among themselves.

Some beings came from the shadow realm as well and their ancestors became known as
Dwarves. Short stocky creatures that loved material things. They lived to about eight hundred
years. They loved materialistic things. They would mine for gold and gems. They created many
great cities under mountains. Hags also came over around this time.
Over time there was a new race that emerged called Halflings. Some believe they are a mix of
elves and gnome, and others believe they got the name from being halfway in between them
both. Their origins are not known.

The Elementals during this time created the Gin to help them and their offspring would be
known as Genasi. The Elementals with the help of Void created the Goliath and Giants Races.
Some say this was to mock the Gods for their failure with the Titains.
Tempest and Neptune created the races of the Locathah, and Triton. Some elves loved the sea
so much they lived in it. They eventually became the sea elves.

Void created the races or Orc, Goblin, Bugbear and Hobgoblin. The Yuan-ti appeared in the
land and no one is for sure who created them. About this time some other races emerged from
the shadow realm, changelings. Evergreen over many centuries created the races of aarakocra,
kitsune, centaur, Firbolg, Grung, Tabaxi, Harengon, Leonin, Lizard folk, Loxodon, Owlin,
Minotaur, Satyr, and Tortle.

The god of death at that time, and with the help of Everlight and Evergreen, created the two
moons, Luna and Forbus during the time of the Titains. They lit up the night so the mortals
wouldn't be scared of the night and help with the passage of time. It's said the other nine moons
were lost or used against the Titains by crashing them into Terra Nova. Maggot hated these
new moons, and as a cruel joke created the lycans to mock his siblings. At first they were just
werewolves but over time then the lycans grew to have more than just werewolves so they
became known as lycans. These lycans had children and they would be known as Shifters.

After a time, then Maggot and Asmodeus helped create vampires to mess with their sister,
Evergreen. The vampires are an abomination to nature. Feeding on the living to survive. For
every living thing that was created, Maggot created an undead to mock the other Gods.

Eva had two moons at this point. Luna and Forbus. Somewhere around the end of this era a
third moon was created, Ruidus, also called the "Blood Moon". It's a red moon and sometimes
flares with light. Some say those born when the moon Flares are cursed. Some of those born
under the Flares became known as Ruidus-born, and these people are said to be involved with
great events in history. Some good, some bad.

Soon after the creation of Ruidus, the High Creator left. No one knows where they left or why.
They were never seen again. Their temples fell to ruin overtime.

At this point, the world was left to the other Gods and the Elementals. It was near the end of the
Dawning Age.

Soon war would break out between the Elementals and the Gods, known as the Fracturing.
The Fracturing, this war would end the Dawning Age. It would put the Primal Elementals verses
the Gods, Gods verses Gods. The Elementals thought the Gods had given too much power to
mortals and didn't agree with them giving them magic, believing that what happened before with
the Titains would happen again. That the Weave wasn't powerful or restrictive enough. The
Elementals tried to destroy the world to start again. Some Gods took sides with the Elementals
and they became known as Betrayer Gods. The fighting lasted for over a thousand years. Killing
about half of the inhabitants of the world. Most of the giant races were killed and their skeletons
can be found to this day all around the world. Most of these giant races were massive yo the
giants of today. The giants that we have today are from the servivors of this war. Eventually, the
Prime Elementals were captured, killed, or imprisoned. How this was done is not known in
present times.

Afterwards the Gods who didn't side with the Elementals would be known as the True Lords.
The True Lords then worked together and managed to get some of the Betrayer Gods
imprisoned behind an astral gates, Void, Asmodeus, Neptune, and Maggot.

The Astral Gates keep the Gods from entering that plane, but it doesn't cut off their influence.
Some of their power can seep through, thus clerics and paladins still exist for those Gods. Its
just a god behind the Astral Gate cannot fully interact with the world. Most of the churches of the
Betrayer Gods are abandoned or destroyed. Some worship them still in secret.

Some historians claim there was more Gods and they died during this time period. They point to
ruin temples and some texts, but most at large don't believe there were any more.

That's the end of this age.

__**The second Age- the Age of Arcana**__(*approximately 60,000~90,000 cycles)

The second age began after the Betrayer Gods were locked behind the Astral Gates. This was
a time of magic and culture building. Many of the True Lords were on Eva being very hands on
with creation and moving culture into a productive path. Great cities and empires rose and
flourished. The magic that was being done was like none ever seen before or since.
Spellcasting had limits but nothing like today. Casting high level spells was childsplay and as
many times as they wanted. They could also go beyond what spellcasters can do today.
Humans were created during this time and they chose to make their lives be shorter than the
others for fear they would grow too powerful. They made them inquisitive and intelligent.
Warforged were created using old anicent magic and a mix of organic matter like nothing the
world has seen. They still roam the world today, although rare. They can be found mostly in
ancient ruins. Elves had been around long enough to reach nearly every part of the world and
through isolation some of these groups of elves grew into different types of elves. The ones that
lived the oceans would adapt and be able to live there, they became Sea Elves. Some elves
stayed in the cities honing their magical talents, and they became known as high elves. Some
elves stuck to the forest and eventually became wood elves. Some elves went back to the Fae
realm and then came back as Eladrin elves. Some went to the shadowfell and came back as
pallid elves.Some of these Elves created great empires. All of which eventually deteriorated into
nothing. Either by apathy or great cataclysms. Floating cities, impressive magic that has never
been seen since. Great structures and magic items were created and much of the knowledge of
this time was lost when it fell. Artifacts were everywhere and their power was on the scale to
reshape the world.

Then the unthinkable happened. The God of Death was replaced by a mortal through a ritual
that she performed. A ritual she created using a 15th level spell. She became known as the
Ravenqueen. The ritual she performed in secret and didn't let anyone know how it was done.
The ritual replaced her name and the God of death before her on the Tree of Life, and then
everyone forgot the old God's name and only now remember the Ravenqueen. Those who
helped her become the Ravenqueen were turned into the Kenku. Some of the Gods became
fearful.

The Goddess Loth, the Spider queen, would appear although no one knows where she came
from. She gains a following. Two other Gods appear Coinus, God of Fortune, and Feashield,
Goddess of Fate. Some believe they are children of the other Gods but no one knows for sure.

A few hundred years later, near the end of this age, someone tried to do the same as the
Ravenqueen and become a God. Isaac Romanov, a Ruidus-born, he tried to perform the ritual
to replace a Betrayer God, Asmodeus, but in doing so opened the Astral Gates and the Betrayer
Gods were released onto the world. The War that took place ended the this age. The Gods
battled each other. The Betrayer Gods tried to kill off as many mortals as possible and tried to
release the Primal Elementals. Some of the Betrayer Gods coming close to releasing the Prime
Elementals. The scars of the war still blot the land. The war became known as the Calamity.

Asmodeus opened up the gates of Hell and brought forth demons onto the land. Goodfeather
then brought his angels to combat them. The children of these beings became known as Tiefling
and Aasimar. Loth joined the Betrayer Gods, Coinus joined The True Lords and Faeshield
refused to join either side. Some Gods switched sides and became Betrayer Gods at this point,
Tempest and Hopetree.

Some say the other Betrayer Gods corrupted Tempest during this time and managed through
manipulation to make him change sides. He then corrupted the weave and magic was nearly
unusable for mortals. Hopetree changed sides after Tempest switched. Her followers still
believe she can be redeemed.

A great battle between Asmodeus and Goodfeather ravaged the land. Asmodeus was being
helped by Loth. The battle was leaving giant creators and canons. Everlight came down to help
and was badly injured by Asmodeus. Everlight was never seen again. Some wonder if he died
or was just badly hurt. Out of anger the Dawnfather showed up and cast a mighty blow to Loth.
Loth was so injured she sank into the depths of the under dark and has never emerged again.
During the war Malhumette managed to lose an arm but he crafted an arm out of metal. Alput
was murdered, but by whom is not known. Void was banished, although some believe them to
be dead. Maggot was killed but managed to resurrect himself. Tempest was heavily injured and
in his final act made the weave into what we know it as of today. With caster only being able to
cast so many spells a day and never going above 9th level.

Asmodeus changed sides by the end and fought with the True Lords by the time of the final
battle. The Gods created items to help their champions fight in this war which later became
know as the Vestiges of Divergence. The Vestiges are still around the land and are found from
time to time throughout history. The Vestiges hold great power and some have been known to
help great leaders come into power. Loth and her followers were forced into the deep dark
caves. They made it their home and called it the Underdark. The followers then their skin grew
dark and became the Drow, Deep Gnome, and Duergar.

Maggot used spirits to combine with mortals to create a new race, Kalashtar. Maggot would also
bring forth a new race of undead upon the world, known as the Reborn. Vampires and Hags
would have children at this time that would be known as Dhampir, and Hexblood. Nine tenths of
the population was killed. Almost all civilization was wiped out. Eventually, the True Lords
trapped, killed, or banished the Bratrayer Gods once again behind astral gates.
After it was over, the True Lords grief stricken, chose the create an Astral Gate around the
world to keep all the Gods out. Including themselves. This became known as the Divergence.
Now the Gods watch from their astal sea thrones unable to interact directly with the world. A
new weave was created and is what we have today. It prevents spellcasters from using too
many high level spells and will only allow up to 9th level. Many of the spells and rituals from this
time have been lost forever. Several of the Gods being killed or being injured and severely
weakened. It was a time of great loss for everyone.

That's the end of this age.

__**Age of Might**__ (93,000~120,000 MR)

The third age started with pain and blood. The vampires and werewolves roamed without
restrictions. The Great Northern Empire of Scackoven is ruled by an ancient vampire by the
name Strahd von Zarovich. Ancient structures that have been long forgotten litter the land. The
Kingdoms of Kaytar are ruled by werewolves and werebears. They battle amongst themselves
more often then not but they lasted most of this age. The Nation of Trae ruled by a pack of
werepanthers was the largest of the nations that arose during this time.

New empires rose and lost and forgotten was the ones of the past. Magic was returning but to a
lesser extent than before. There was a magical plague that infected magic users and many
casters died. The plague was known as the Magic Hand. How it started is unknown but it killed
off the majority of magic users in the world. Elves were used as a scapegoat and many elves
were killed for this. Afterwards, people didn't rely on magic to save themselves.

Much of the world's knowledge was lost from the previous age. Some stopped worshipping the
Gods. Some felt they Gods abandoned the mortals. Soon after the people focused on
Technology.

Magic and the gods was considered old and somewhat taboo from the Mage Hand, and not
many people had interests in revitalizing them. Technology eventually boomed and helped the
mortals do amazing things. Soon, mortals developed gunpowder. They used steam power.
Technology was blossoming. Some Elves began to Spelljam and became Astral Elf's. Once the
world began to Spelljam some other races appeared from the Astral Sea, the Giff, Hadozee,
Plasmoid, Thri-kreen, and the Gith. They are very rare.

Some of these empires were ruled by vampires or werewolves. Simic Hybrids and Autognomes
were created during this time using technology at that time. Also, some new races came from
the Shadow realm known as Shadar-kai. They were Elves that were placed in the Shadow
realm when it was created. The technology that was created rivaled the age of Arcana. They did
what wondrous things that haven't been seen or done since. They reached the stars with their
technology. Some believed they had become Gods. They had boxes that transported them all
over the planet in a blink of an eye. They had little boxes they used to communicate over vast
distances without any magic. Their weaponry was said to destroy whole cities.

The Great Nation of Shal'tar Mae rose during this time ruled by a werelion by the name of
Forsworn the Unworthy. This nation united the continent of Calishar for the first time in Eva's
history.

This age ends with an invasion from Forbus. Known as the Dying.

Four Great Dragons came from the moon, Forbus. Bringing their own lycans with them. Each
Great Dragon was master of their element; their names were Fury of fire, Glaicer of ice,
Hurricane of wind, and Obsidian of earth. Some say they have connections with the Prime
Elementals. The Great Dragons decimated the land. The Great Dragons were so powerful some
say they were Gods, others say they had connections to the Primal Elementals. No one knows
for sure. They eradicated the armies of that age with hardly any effort. Within days the great
cities of technology were brought to ash.
This ends this age.

__**Age of Beasts**__ (also know as the Age of Depression, and also known as the Age of
Decay) (120,147-124,103 MR)

This age is the age that the Great Dragons ruled over the land. Most technolgy, magic, and
spelljamming is banned. The Great Dragons had children, known as Dragons, that roamed the
land and helped enforce their power. The lycans they brought with them also helped with this
and were bigger and stronger than the natural born ones on Eva.

Not much growth happened with civilization. All the gold and natural resources were given to the
Great Dragon Lords. All opposition was crushed almost instantly. The Dragonborns and Kobold
were created by the Great Dragon Lords as slaves to help with handling the day to day tasks of
oppression to the world. Some of the nations weren't made into ash but instead used as slave
power to mine prisous metals.

Until, the dragonlances were created. Some say the dragonlances came from the Gods, others
say is was old magic, and some say someone found some old technology. However it was, it is
firmly believed that Ivan Pertanicus was the one who created them in mass for warriors to fight
the Great Dragon Lords. The Dragonlances were made of a metal that could pierce through the
magical dragon scales. The knowledge of how they were created has been so well protected
that the knowledge of how to make them have been lost in the present age. Sara Pertanicus,
daughter of Ivan, killed the Great Fire Dragon Lord by herself. Sara is believed to be Ruidus-
born and weretiger. Afterwards, People rose up to fight the dragons known as the War of
Liberation. Sara led the war from one Dragon Lord to the next. The war against the the Dragon
Lords was fast and over in a few years. Some say the Dragons grew complacent or
overconfident. Sara and her Dragonwarriors roamed the land afterwards to kill all the dragons,
but some of the dragons children still roam the land. The lycans scattered around the land.
Around this time the new races of Vedalken, and Verdan emerged and no one knows where
they came from.

This ends this age.

__**Age of Man**__ (124,104-125,127 MR*current year) (present age)

It's been a hundred and twenty years since the Liberation. Scackoven, the nation of Trae, and
Shal'tar Mae still exist although in weakened states. They are still ruled my lycans. Most of the
other lands are ruled by less powerful nations. With the deaths of the Great Dragon Lords it
leaves a power vacuum and all of the remains nations are hungry for power. The races are
scattered about. Some clinging to some old ideology.

Most of the True Gods still have temples here or there but their followers are so few from days
of past. Anicent magic, technology, crystal structures, and dead giants still litter the land waiting
to be discovered. Dragons still roam but hide for now. A deadly plague has stucken the land,
called the Black Blood. It causes black boils to grow on the skin until they pop and you bleed out
and die. Some people blame magic users for this plague. A religious movement called the
"Flaming Heart" which is against slavery is going through the country of Shal'tar Mae. Many
people are following in their teachings. They claim to have the next messiah. Their movement is
gaining more followers everyday.

The Nation of Shal'tar Mae is much small than it used to be. It lost much of its power but still
ruled by lycans. The Skyrim empire has reemerged. Ruled once again by vampires. Their
borders are next to each other. Their capital cities are also next to each other. So close that
people call them twin sister cities. At times they are allies and the rest they are enemies. They
are tense allies is the best way to describe it. While shaking hands, having a knife behind their
backs. Always watching the other side but not all out calling them out.

The city Al-shar D'al-dorie is the capital of the Nation of Shal'tar Mae. It's seem better days. The
not so anicent structures are in dire need of repairs. Moss and weeds grow in the streets. What
was a vibrant rich city is now past it's prime. It sits at the base of the mountain chain that
separates the border with Skyrim.

The city of the Radiant Citadel is the capital of the Scackoven empire. It's clean and smooth.
The structures are of an different age. Smooth marble is as far as you can see. The city is on
the mountain of Tarth overlooking the city of Al-shar D'al-dorie of the nation of Shal'tar Mae. The
inhabitants tend to look down upon the people of Shal'tar Mae.

The Nation of Shal'tar Mae is a vast nation ruled by a democratic elected Alpha, what they call
their leaders. The Alpha rules for life. Unless they are determined to be weak then they have a
trial of might to determine the winner. If the reining Alpha fails then a new election is held and a
new Alpha will take their place. The Nation has a vast desert called "Death's Door". Then it
transitions into a vast forest. There are many sea harbors along the way. It is mostly small
towns and villages all the way to the capital. The forest of Shadowvale surrounds the capital.
The guards in the Nation have dwindled to nearly nothing. They use mercenaries called the
Watch to help with keeping the peace.
The Scackoven empire is small but surrounded by mountains around it's borders called the
Spine of the World. Those mountains are the largest and coldest on Eva. It's cold and snows
year around. The sky is dark permanently. The sun has not been seen in this land since the
second age, the age of Arcana. There is only a few roads into the empire and only one into the
capital. Slavery is alive and well in this empire. It's been ruled by vampire families for hundreds
of years. There are Demon Doors blocking the roads into Scackoven and into the Radiant
Citadel. One must talk to them or give items to cross. Rumor has it that there is another way
around them. Wardens are the peacekeepers in this realm. They are harsh and use magic and
technology not seen in a long time.

__**Luna, also known as Kantuwee**__

` To know the history of Kantuwee, known by Luna by the inhabitants of Eva, is to know the
history of Eva. It's a world that is not a world and yet is. It's made of pure magical energy mixed
with an imprisoned Titan. Fear, envy, joy, and lack of wisdom has ruled this planet in the sky of
Eva since its beginning. Without excess to certain forms of magic like teleportation, it makes it a
breeding ground for piracy to become the only form of lucrative work. Kantuwee is a powderkeg
about to explode.`

-Aledous De la Fróntere, founder of the Arcane Emporium (122,465 LR)

__** The Founding and Beyond**__ (0~90,000 cycles)

Kantuwee means prison in old elvish. It was created during the Founding of Eva, near the end
of that age. In the astral sea was floating a singularity of eminence magical power. The
singularity got pulled towards Eva, but before it reached there, an elemental titain rose from
Eva. The Titain known as Apocalypse made of mostly stone. They grew and grew in power and
size. They were glowing red hot from the raw magical force. The Gods saw this and were
frightened. The Gods banned together and imprisoned the Titain, in which his body created
Kantuwee. The inhabitants of Eva call it Luna to this day. The land masses were created from
the Titain, the rest of the moon was enveloped in vast seas, created by Neptune to cool down
the Titain. Each arm, the torso, the two legs, and the face became the land masses. Large
continents. Each with its own resources and different ecosystems. In creating the moon, the
Gods made a floating city called the Madrean Archipelago. Also called the Madrean Sky Island.
This floating city travels the vast world of Kantuwee, following the laylines of the planet and as it
travels it casts a protection spell on the planet. The Gods placed the Tree of Names on the Sky
Island to help with this. It said that, so long as the island flies around Kantuwee then Kantuwee
will be safe. The Gods brought more mortals near the end of the Founding. This was when the
Fracturing was happening. The Gods feared that their creations would be destroyed. They
brought hundreds of mortals to the new lands on the moon. Evergreen brought the plants and
animals. Neptune brought the sea life. When the Gods fought the primal elementals for control
and for mortals to exist. Some gods sided with the elementals and they became known as the
Betrayer Gods. The True Gods brought a plethora of mortals of all races here to Luna in hopes
of saving what lives they could on Eva while the war waged on. Some say it was used as a back
up plan.

Eva can been seen in the sky, both day and night. Depending on the time of the year, Kantuwee
can see the other moons. They sometimes get bigger or smaller throughout the year. Ruidus is
always red and travels faster than Forbus. Forbus is grey and dimmer but sometime when it
gets close, you can see lights on it.

Temples of all the Gods can be found on Kantuwee, even the Gods known as Betrayer Gods.
The Gods at first were present. Good, bad, and neutral. Until the Betrayer Gods were banished
and locked away. Now only the True Gods make a presence on this moon. Even after the
Calamity when the Gods made the divine gate for Eva, they did no such thing for the moons.
The Gods often show up from time to time but as time went on, it became less and less
frequent.

While Eva was going through it's second age, known as the age of arcana. The inhabitants of
Luna did not fair so well. War over power was constant. Eventually, the people on Eva would
send their banished criminals to Luna, because they learned due to the nature of the moon.
People can be sent but teleportation spells don't work on the planet. So you can be sent but you
can't come back. When they sent people, it started slow but eventually they were sent in droves.
All the races were sent. With so many people abandoned on the planet, the wars for power
continued. Near the end of the age of Arcana, some great wizards formed a group called the
Arcana Emporium, and they made an illusion around the whole planet in hopes that people
would forget about the planet. Making it seem like a bright white, lifeless planet. The people of
Kantuwee could see Eva in their sky but those of Eva only saw a white dead moon. After a long
time the people of Eva forgot there was anyone on Luna. The members of the Arcana
Emporium kept magic a secret and would have tight controls on who could, or could not cast
spells. They also kept most magical items under strict control.

__**Age of a Thousand Kings**__ (91,783-100,563 LR)

It was at this time many people rose up and named themselves king. It was complete chaos.
Now for the first time free from the reign of the people of Eva. People vied for power, and often
naming themselves king or emperor, and most when they got that title usually ended up dead
soon after. It was chaos. It remained like this for thousands of years. Kingdoms rising and falling
within years and decades. During this time, wizards, who were part of the Arcana Emporium,
created Vales all over the landmasses dividing the masses. These Vales are linked to the
Shadowfell of which no living thing can pass through. They claimed to do this to create peace,
but many people believe they did this to divide, not to unite and bring peace. In this chaos of
rulers superseding other rulers, magic items bled into the society. The only ruling class that
seemed to survive this age was the Arcana Emporium, but they couldn't stop people from
learning magic or having magical items.

It was at this time the Gods stopped appearing in person on the moon. Many believe the Gods
have abandoned the people on these moons.

__**Age of Servitude**__ (100,564-121,043 LR)

Many years after Eva entered its age of Might. Eventually, a few people of Eva landed on Luna
using their technology. They brought with them some other races. And eventually while Forbus
got close some dragons and their kind came to the moon. Now for the first time Luna, Kantuwee
had all of the races that Eva had on its surface. For thousands of years the people of Eva didn't
know anyone or anything existed up on this moon, Luna. The people of Eva were surprised to
find it full of life and with large oceans. Those people immediately started to exploit the
resources and built huge machines to extract minerals. The minerals could be used to power
their machines and create magical items. They also extracted the very core of the planet, which
was the singularity made of pure magic power. Those people from Eva forced the local
inhabitants to run the machines and ship it back to Eva as slave labor. After many many years
of slavery. Kantuwee had a slave rebellion. The people of Kantuwee had had enough of these
invaders. They freed themselves from their oppressors and killed them all using the very
machines they put in place to do it. The knowledge to work the machines was lost for a time.

__**Age of Empires**__ (121,044-125,692 LR)

Arcana enslaved the world and then the lost millennium.

__**Age of Piracy**__ (125,693 LR- present)

After this long age they again fought over who would have the power. Eventually, while Eva was
entering it's Age of Man, some of the elite rich managed to get the old machines working again
recently. They use it for their own goals to get richer, while most of the population is dirt poor
and is getting poorer. This has led those impoverished to seek out new ways to make money.
Since, no one person ruled the seas, this is where most would run off to. Trade on the seas was
the only way to ship goods from one empire to the next due to the Vales and the lack of
teleportation magic. The seas are full of ships doing trade, or pirates stealing what they can, or
privateers who work for local lords stealing other lords goods. Pirate hunters have become a
business as well. This is a time of gamblers and high risk takers. The few magic users hid in
different parts of the world. Most of them belonging to the group of mages called the Arcana
Emporium. Firearms were left behind by the people of Eva. They have been circulating around
the globe and nearly everyone has some form of firearm.

Black Water has been appearing all over the planet, mostly in the seas. It corrupts and
degrades anything it touches. Wildlife dies or turns into something... abnormal. Some pirates
have been using these waters to their advantage.
