Eyuthimya

Eyuthimya is an lava covered planet located in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, surrounded by large pieces of the planet itself. On the surface of the planet lies ruins of the Enlightened civilization that used to inhabit the planet before its demise at the hand of Valhalla and Lotris.
== History ==
=== The Golden Age ===
Eyuthimya was once a peaceful planet which, according to lore, was once a paradise in a time known as the "age of gold". During this time, the inhabitants of Eyuthimya launched their first ship into the stars, heralding the rise of science upon the world. It was through these ships that the inhabitants of Eyuthimya made contact with many other races, including the human race on Atlas, the Elves on Aw'i and the Halflings on Hephystys. Through this contact, these races traded knowledge with the inhabitants and many wonders of science were born. From this, the seeds of division were planted as the population was split between those who honored science for the wonders it provided who became known as the Lords of Science, and those who mourned the old traditions who became known as the Primals.
=== The Age of Schism ===
The progress of those who followed the path of science forged on, ignoring the concerns of the Primal traditions. During this time, the human race warned the inhabitants of Eyuthimya to seek a balance between the old and new ways. However, these warnings were not heeded, and Justyn, the first Lord of Science, denounced the Primals in the center of the Royal City. This incident ultimately sparked war between the two factions of the population.
This global conflict resulted in most of the landscape of Eyuthimya becoming uninhabitable. The Lords of Science unleashed technological horrors such as the Amalgamations and in turn, the Primals cursed the Lord of Science with the darkest of the ancient powers. The other races who befriended the inhabitants tried to find a way to end the conflict, but all of their attempts were in vain. The resulting devastation of the war caused the Lords of Science to run out of resources to power their creations. This caused the war to eventually result in victory for the Primals, albeit a hollow one.
=== The Struggle of the Exiles ===
Eyuthimya had become a wasteland, with only a small region remaining habitable. The Lords of Science exiled themselves to the polluted wastelands, regretting not following the warnings of the humans. Together, they discovered that the remaining fertile lands of Eyuthimya would eventually be consumed, and thus using the last of their resources, absorbed the toxins and pollution of the remaining fertile lands of Eyuthimya at the cost of leaving one side of the planet eternally scorched by the sun, and the other in the icy grasp of darkness. This act became the undoing of the Lords of Science, whose decontamination equipment drew the Primals to their hiding places in the wastelands.
=== The Decline ===
As Eyuthimya continued to decline, only one Lord of Science survived the initial genocide, according to whom the remaining Primals slipped into barbarism as they turned upon each other and became savage predator beasts (although it is evident that their culture and sentience were not lost until the arrival of the Valhalla and Lotris) and lost their abilities in magic. This remaining Lord of Science had befriended a Primal prophetess who foretold of a starborn death coming to Eyuthimya. However, disaster struck them as his supply of his Enlightened Energy exploded, alerting the Primal bands to his position. Without his Enlightened Energy to power his Amalgamations, which were created by combining old and new ways together, there was no chance of escape.
=== The War of Light ===
The remaining people of Eyuthimya began to see the skies turn dark, and the glow of the nearby star disappear. The remaining Lord of Science and the Primals all witness, several large beings come from the cosmos, and take the remaining people and disappear. The last remaining Lord of Science was told to stay on the planet by the higher being as punishment for the Enlightened Genocide. As the large beings disappeared along with the last remaining citizens of his race, the Lord of Science went on to try and defend the planet as its sole protector. Though, by the time Valhalla, Lotris, and Velvamak entered the planet's atmosphere, the Lord of Science knew that his punishment was death.
=== Recent History ===
This ends the recorded history of Eyuthimya until a decade before the events of A Final Stand occur where the planet was discovered by the World Alliance Organization who began to utilize the hidden Enlightened Energy resources of the planet. As Katelynn and Dahla approach the planet, it is seen that the foretold ice portion of the planet was destroyed during the War of Light. Several abandoned WAO outposts litter the surface to extract the raw Enlightened Energy.
