Sangresfer

Time to go into detail about another campaign world, which will be the scene for my next game, set to begin the Sunday after next from 8 pm to midnight, if there are no problems (hint: cue to alert me of problems).

Atriosfa is a new world, formed near the edge of existence. Existence and Nothingness persist in an eternal battle; they fought here too, and Existence won. The blood that fell from each pooled into puddles on the fabric of time, two suns, one light, and one dark. Both serve as conduits, the light sun, Daystar, bringing light, warmth, and positive energy to the world. The other sun, the Nullstar, a dark and malevolent violet, likes to the plane of negative energy and death, and brings nothing but shadows and pain.

And from the mixing of Nothing and Existence came raw energy, raw magic, that permeates the fabric of reality here like water in a sponge. From the magic, four old, great gods were formed; the Elementals. The Elementals were as siblings, born out of the same magic, and all sought to create something as a testimate to their true father, Existence. Earth, Air, Fire, and Water each created a portal to their home planes, and they channeled their resources into the creation of a new world, a perfect world, to exist upon. Once the world was made, they populated it with grand beings, titans, that could appreciate their work.

These beings, most elementals themselves, but many in the form of man and beast, existed in relative peace for some time, creating many wonders and building great cities before their works attracted the attention of the dieties of the planes. The other dieties, eager to expand their worship and power, fell upon the planet like locusts; even the benign gods were, at best, polite invaders. The Elementals and their titans at first welcomed the gods, but soon war erupted. The Elementals retreated to their portals, where each built a gigantic palace, to guard the realm from. These mammoth spheres took the form of the moons, which still circle, casting elemental light upon the planet. They were built unassailable, by both god and mortal, impervious to even the attacks of beings able to navigate the spacial void.

On the planet, the Elementals sent aid to their titans, and they drove out the gods from the world. The titans, almost destroyed, retreated to the poles of the world to regain their strength in seclusion, and the world was left to the wilds.

The Elementals took sympathy on the gods, and issued an edict; that no diety may ever set foot on the planet again, but that the works of the gods shall be left to the creations of the gods, and that they might use the world to build and shape for themselves. The titans would not interfere in the affairs of the god's mortals. The gods were allowed to create followers, and those followers created temples to their gods, and existed under their own accords, until this very day.

This is the history of Sangresfer.
