Foundation Notes (Universe)

The beginning is unknown, but from this unknown came Chaos and Order. Void/Chaos is
the eternal nothingness, death and all unknown. Order/Law is everything known, life and justice.
When these forces combined it gave birth to what would be known as Tamora and the Garden
of Eden. Tamora became a universe that wrapped itself around the Garden and at the center of
the Garden was a tower, the Tower of Babel. Chaos and Order conceived their own souls
becoming Vas and El and between the two of them 12 children were born. Six of Vas and six of
El. They became known as the Théos Vasiliás (God Kings) and formed the pantheon Vasil.
Often interfering in the affairs of mortals for their personal gain or amusement these Théos
Vasiliás will grant humans artifacts or powers to be used as tools to spread their religion. After
the creation of the Théos Vasiliás, Vas and El then created Earth within the Garden of Eden.
Eventually restricting the Théos Vasiliás to Tamora and had intentions of spinning divine
inspiration into the Garden.
Vas and El created four special items to be placed among the animals and plants that
lived on Earth. The first were humans, Adam and Eve; a pair of souls that needed each other to
survive. Then they created the dragons, Akatosh; a single soul that would be forever alone
unless his soul split. Finally they created two extremely powerful artifacts, the Apple of Eden
and the Ark of the Covenant. They gave the two species consciousness and tasked each of
them with a mission. Adam and Eve were to protect the Ark of the Covenant, which were two
tablets inscribed in the dragon language. Each tablet had five sentences written on them and
they were stored in a gold-covered wooden chest. And the dragon, Akatosh, was entrusted with
guarding the Apple of Eden. The Apple was a small gold colored, metal-like kball with various
symbols carved in it that held a boundless amount of energy. (1998 BC)
Decades after their creation, Adam & Eve under the enslavement of Akatosh began to
seek freedom and power. They sought to steal the apple and share the power with their
children. They stole the apple and murdered Akatosh. Eventually the apple exploded and
spread magick throughout Earh. The magick spread throughout the entire Garden of Eden and
was even felt in Tamora. Adam and Eve found themselves and their children gifted with the
magickal arts and began to study it. (Because the four years worth of exposure to the apple,
Adam and Eve both have abilities far beyond anyone else). However, portals and gates began
to open between Tamora and Earth allowing the Tamorans to invade under the command of
their Théos Vasiliás in an attempt to conquer and enslave Earth. The Théos Vasiliás
themselves, however, cannot enter the Garden of Eden in their true form.
Adam and Eve found themselves deeply engaged in magick both of them studying the
laws that govern it. Adam found power in Runes as an enchanter and alchemist (magick
symbols of Eden). He developed the 5 schools of magick; titling himself Heka (Egyptian for
magic) and founding the Belgrave Order as its leader. He also found he had the soul of a
massive beast residing within him. This 100 tailed creature gave him power and immeasurable
magick prowess. However, Adam slowly seemed to be going mad and Eve became concerned
about his direct contact with the Apple. The apple would explode 4 years after Adam retrieved it
because he was corrupt with greed for immortality. This explosion caused the beast with Adam
to be ripped out and split it into 12 kitsune to be reincarnated within Eden. His mind however
was still poisoned by his lust for power.
Eve found her gift not only as a powerful Druid but as a heavenly Goddess too. Thought
to be blessed by Orna herself for helping steal the Apple and releasing Eden. She was gifted
with incredibly powerful graces, Tornado, Lightning, Ocean, and Sunshine. She felt she couldn’t
contain this power, though and began to grow restless as Adam had done.. So she decided to
take the same action she used against Adam and split the three Graces, sending them back to
Eden to be reincarnated for her future children. Eve was extremely gifted with runes like Adam
and had discovered the pentagram matrix which allotted the use of alchemy. Using this
pentagram, she could form stones through alchemy that allowed her to defy all-natural laws.
Using a mineral stone, she could turn iron into gold, she even used an animal stone on her
daughter and it cured a cancerous tumor that had been killing her.
Adam, seeking power, found that if he combined runes in specific orders, that pentagram
could be used for HUMAN transmutation, something that had never been done before. He
wondered what would happen if he transmuted living flesh. Adam became obsessed with his
work and discovered a magick channel that flows from Eden to Tamora on the solstice that
allowed for proper human transmutation. (After working with animals to create other stones) He
attempted to steal the life from his son Abel. Without remorse Adam had used his son’s soul to
create the first Philosopher Stone. He blamed the murder on his then jealous son Cain and
shared this power with Eve before creating another Philosopher stone the following year for
himself.
Adam called himself the Philosopher of the West and dubbed Eve Philosopher of the
East. The title would be referenced throughout history, but no one would even know its
associated with A&E. Both of them gained immortality due to the philosopher stone. Then
working in secrecy Adam continued his research until Eve discovered his plans and the true
nature of the philosopher stone. Appalled, she vowed to do anything necessary to stop him.
(1470 BC) (528 year span fyi)
Thirteen years later (1457 BC), a legendary battle in Egypt began when Adam and his
Canaanite forces fled to Megiddo with the philosopher and other alchemy stones. This war
would be known simply as the Battle of Megiddo but it would become the first ever recorded
battle in the history of mankind. Eve under the command of Pharaoh Thutmose III, a neophyte,
they began a siege on the city in an attempt to stop Adam. During the battle Adam managed to
curse Eve, who had taken the form of a jerboa to spy on him. As an immortal she would remain
trapped in this form forever. Just as she was cursed, however, Thutmose came into the room
and drove his hand through Adams chest and picked him up with Adam attached at his forearm.
He reached into Adam’s pocket and pulled out a small red stone. The Philosopher stone was
Thutmose’s only concern, with this he could rule Egypt with an Iron fist forever and so he left.
Eve, disappointed, could do nothing... not that the stone would work for him anyway. Only in the
weeks to come would Thutmose attempt to use the stone to have it simply disintegrate in his
hand. Adams body was never found.
