Primara

## In the Beginning...

There was nothing, a blank black void consisting of empty silence, but one day a celestial being known as Ginn created the world by dividing himself into four elemental aspects. First came land for it is needed for things to stand and grow, thus **Talmhú** the Aspect of Earth was born. Second came the ocean for it was needed to help create life on the land and gives life to those that cant survive on the surface, thus **Uisce** the Aspect of Water was born. Then came sky for it was needed to protect the newly created world from the threats of the unknown, thus **Aeráil** the Aspect of Air was born. Finally came the burning flames for it was needed to destroy the creation that came before and bring in a new cycle of life to those on land and sea, thus **Dóiteán** the Aspect of Fire was born. After there birth the aspects began to create creatures that resemble there element, the four aspects decide in tribute to there father that created them they will name this specias after the god, thus the Genasi where formed. Over the centuries the Genasi began to create civilizations and began the start of two kingdoms began, one that represents the the bountiful oceans and Fridge winds in the north named the **Leviathan Empire** and one that represents expansive lands and scorching heat in the south named the **Phoenix Kingdom**. There is one piece of land that divides the two kingdoms that the rulers would agree to make neutral ground due to the mixture of all four elements living in harmony, this land came known as the Holy Land of **Terram**.

## First Era Year 0 - 108

During the First Era there where no kingdoms, no war, no hatred, it was a community of Genasi living together in harmony. they started out small by making a village in the center of **Terram**, and as the years go by the Genasi began to expand and explore the world that there gods have created for them. Eventually they reach the end of **Terram** to only be met with the endless ocean. at first the Genasi saw no issue with **Terram** being the only piece of land, but as the years go by and the population grew they knew it was a matter of time when the Holy Land of **Terram** would run out of space. so the Genasi asked the four aspects to create more land out in the endless ocean so there can be more space to spread out and live. after listing to there creations request the Aspects agreed and created the North, an area where many dots of land know as islands where spread out so there can be room for both aquatic and surface life to coexist. Then they created the South, a massive continent like **Terram** but with harsh heated deserts, rocky Mountains and soothing cold lakes and rivers. when the aspects finished making the land for the Genasi, the start of the Second Era began.

## Second Era Year 109 - 282

When the north and south where created, the Genasi set off to explore the new lands and set up new homes. the Genasi that when to the north where the Water and Air Genasi as they where more adept with traveling the ocean with there boats with the Water Genasi's understanding of the currents and the Air Genasi creating the wind to push the boats forward. the Genasi that went to the south where of Fire and Earth as they where more conformable traveling on land with the Fire Genasi resisting the desert heat and the Earth Genasi understanding and finding paths though rocky terrain. once all the land was explored the birth of the two kingdoms where made with there respective rulers.

### Leviathan Empire

there was King Aquarius Cordelia, a Water Genasi who was on the first boat to sail north. as they sailed to many islands and began constructing settlements on there expedition, they continued to go north which led to them finding something that was foreign to his and crew. Aquarius discovered snow, ice, and the final island in the north. seeing that there where no more land to discover they started the birth of the **Leviathan Empire** and named the island Aurous, for the first thing they saw when they spend the night on this snow covered land was an aurora borealis.

### Phoenix Kingdom

there was Queen Pyre Radiata, a Fire Genasi that took a team of explores south to investigate the mass continent using carts and wagons. even though the majority of the land was desert waste, there where areas that contained flat plains, bountiful forests and many valleys between mountains. they continued forward until eventually they reached end of the continent and found something that captivated Pyre and her people, a massive volcano with an oasis that nestled in the perfect position for when the lava flows but never touches this one spot. with seeing this as a sign they started the foundation of the **Phoenix Kingdom** and named the City Moltenor seeing as a fitting name for the joint effort of the fire and earth.

Both there kingdoms where close to each other with only the sea separating them, using only boats to travel between the two. Once the two nation settled in and began to prosper, the start of the Third Era Began

## Third Era Year 283 - 462

### Birth of Paragen

After the two kingdoms were established and the populations grew, Paragen was born. Paragens are Genasi that are born from two different elements combing into a new element; from this, ice, magma, smoke, mud, sand, and steam were created.From this era on, the Paragen population began to grow as the many years of peace continued. Seeing how their creations managed to create new life, the four aspects followed in their footsteps and combined their essence to create new elementals just like the Paragen.

### The Arival of the New Gods

As the population of Primara began to grow, so did concepts of life and death, magic and chaos, light and dark. Because of this, new gods came into the fold. The Four Aspects let the gods into their world under the restriction of not interfering with their lives beyond simple miracles. The gods agreed and began to spread their concept to the elements. However, some of the gods had their own agendas to bring corruption to this world under the Aspects watch.

### The First Great War

As new elementals came into the world of Primara, new problems began to emerge. Conflict broke out between the two kingdoms as one of the gods, known as **Olc**, began creeping into the ears of the leaders of the two nations about who should be the prime element in this world. One day, the second rulers of the Leviathan Empire and Phoenix Kingdom declared war to see who should be the one true King of Primara. The war lasted for over 5 years, with both sides taking heavy losses, but eventually the war stopped after the Four Aspects intervened and separated the two nations by creating two giant walls, leaving the Holy Land of Terram the only way to contain the war. Due to not wanting to tarnish the land they were created from with the blood of their race, the two nations ended the war, but unfortunately the damage was done. saddened by their actions, The Four Aspects left primara to their own respective elemental plane forever seeing how there influlence over there creation was destroyed.

### The Grand Sealie

Before the Four Aspects left the world of Primara, they asked another god, known as Fiáin, to create a new world between the walls as a way to further prevent the two nations from ever meeting. **Fiáin** accepted and create a place known as the **Grand Sealie**, where magic and nature runs ramped in unpredictable ways to where navigating it was near impossible.

## Fourth Era Year 463 - 574

### The Division

After the First Great War both kingdoms where going through reconstruction after the many casualty they took. even though the war was over the distained for one another was ever lingering, thus both rulers introduce **The Division**, a law that banns citizens of the opposite nation from entering the there kingdom. for the Genasi that where in enemy kingdom , they where killed or captured as slaves to the highest respective nobles or worker. there where many who found sanctuary in **Terram** for it was the only place both kingdoms agreed to never shed blood on it. along with The Division also came with the genoside of the Smoke, Steam, Mud, and Sand Paragen as they where considered abominations. the only Paragen to survive this ordeal was the Ice and Magma due to there elements belong to there respected kingdom. After seeing the carnage that was taken place, **Fiáin** created an opening on both walls for anyone from the two kingdoms to flee from the tyranny and be welcomed in her domain. a couple years after the Four Aspects disappeared and The Division was formed, the Gods saw this as an opertunity to fill in the void that was left behind and created new life where most was lost.

### Birth of Man

over the course of this era the aspect set idly by as there creation lived on letting the other gods that come after the creation of the aspects take over. first there came the men Created by Saol the God of Life, since the Four Aspects where placating to there creations Saol continued to create beings like the Genasi but without the elements infusing into there soul.

### Birth of Fey and Aberration

Next came the fey who where made by **Fiáin** the Goddess of Magic and Nature, using the same method the aspect used to create the Genasi, her goal was to spread her magic and blessings of nature to this new world. after the Fey came Aberrations created by **Scáth** the God of Shadows and Maddness out of spite and distained of his sister **Fiáin,** he wanted his creations to destroy all magic and bring the world into insanity.

### Birth of the Three Dragons

Soon after came the birth of the three types of dragons, first was **Ghrian** the Goddess of the sun and Chromatic dragons, who wanted her dragons to be the one that rules over all as the dominant species. Seeing this transgression came along **Gealach** the Goddess of the moon and Metallic dragons, who wanted her dragons to protect and help the people of this world from her sisters tyranny. after a couple of long years the two sisters saw that fighting each other was pointless and made a truce, merging there powers to create an eclipse to give birth to the Gem dragons.

### Birth of Fiends and Celestials

Seeing the birth of some many creatures **Olc** the God of Corruption and Evil saw fit to create his own race, he created Fiends of Infernal and Demonic nature alike to spread his corruption and destruction across the this new world. To counter the evil gods plans **Maith** the God of Purity and Good created the Celestials to help further protect the world form further corruption.

### The Second Great War

with the two nations in turmoil and the ruthlessness of the rulers, the many races that stayed in **Primara** where fed up with what was going on and began to rebel. many of them began to attacked the military of kingdoms while others started factions that worked to undermind the rulers. this was the start of the age of Outlaws run by 7 factions and there main turf was the Holy Land of **Terram**. This rightfully upsetted the current leaders of the kingdom as they set forth there army so bring down and kill the Outlaw, with the only stipulation that they where not to harm any Genasi that where on Terram, even though they two nations hated each other; they still hold worship to there creators by not killing those of elemental descent on the holy land. this began the Second Great War that lasted for 10 years, once the war ended the start of the Fifth Era began

## Fifth Era Year 575 - 743

The Second Great War ended in an unexpected way, there where no winners on either side but instead ended in a truce between the outlaws and the two nations. The war was getting nowhere and almost left the Holy Land of **Terram** in ruins, seeing as both sides saw the land as there home and wish to do no more harm to it, they agreed to sign **The Black Gold Declaration**. this treaty is a symbol of peace between the Outlaws and the two nations, allowing the criminals to continue there operations with disrupt as long as it doesnt affect the world of **Primara** in a harmful way, in return if any Outlaws step out of line and disrupts the peace the two nations are allowed to arrest them without prejudice. With **The Black Gold Declaration** sign, gave birth to a new organization of known as the Seven Warlords, 7 individuals who are known as the rulers of the criminal underworld.

### Search for the Primordial's Bounty

years after the signing of **The Black Gold Declaration**, peace once again to prosper between the nations as conflict was somewhat quelled. all was quiet until one faithful day when a Genasi that fled to the **Grand Sealie** returned, stating that this an ancient treasure left behind by the all creator Ginn himself existing within the uncharted seas of the fey, a treasure that would make who ever finds it the true ruler of **Primara**, and that treasure was applied named the **Primordia's Bounty**. with that adventures form all over the world began to march there way to the Grand Sealie in search for this treasure, including the **Leviathan Empire**, the Phoenix kingdom, and some of the Warlord. As the search for the Primordials bounty began, so did the Start of the Sixth Era.
