Vitore

Long ago, in a reality sheathed in darkness, a serpent egg hatched. Coiled around each other were Solis The Sun Serpent, and Dendar The Night Serpent. From the radiance of Solis, a shadow was cast off of Dendar, and it grew to be known as The Quiet. Solis slithered through the sky leaving streaks of light along his path curling into a ball and nesting. The Quiet then moved the streaks of light through the sky making the stars. Dendar shed its skin and slithered into the dark. The Quiet then took this skin and formed the planet. The shell of the egg was then crafted into the moon. It was during this that The Quiet noticed a tiny third serpent at the bottom of the shell. Jormungandr was its name and he slithered intto the oceans of Vitore. The Quiet felt lonely in this existence that there were none like her. She first poured life on the moon so that creation could be close to her, thus the Moon Elves were born naming their home Arnadithil. She then poured life into Vitore. Wherever life touched the world, the waters would make something new. When life struck the mountains, Dwarves were born. When it cascaded to the forests, Wood Elves were born. When it flowed through the valleys, Halflings were born. When it froze in the north The Ganyd were born. Soaking into the moss, The Spriggans were born. Life poured thru Vitore in this way creating life as we know it today. When the waters of life had seemed to finally reach the end of creation it rested in dirt and so from the mud sprang the first humans awash with a bit of all the traits of the higher creations before them. So all of creation came to be. Solis rejoiced at the desire for his warmth and a burst of rock and fire struck the ground of the world and from the ashes the Phoerrim were born. The Quiet then pulled from her cloak and created beings made of her to preside over creation. Thus, The Demon Princes were born. Slinking in the Shadows, The Night Serpent began to devour the Nightmares of The Quiet's Creations. As she did, Monsters were birthed, giving flesh and bone to our deepest and darkest fears. To this day every monster within Vitore is born of Nightmares. Shortly after Yewheart The Lifebinder, an ancient Spriggan Hero, placed a single, enchanted acorn within the heart of the Well of Eternity. This grew into Tel Maren, Home of The Spriggans. Over a hundred years later Fezzurah, The Great Purple Worm was born, fated to become the giant beast he is today. After 500 more years the Age of Birth Ended and the Age of Serpents began with the birth of Thiazade and Meretseger. Champions across time rose to fight the children of Dendar and do battle with the darker of the Demon Princes. The best of these champions rose to become Gods. Thus completing the Palaneirrim: Divine beings that include the serpents, demons and mortals turned gods. for thousands of years kingdoms rose and fell, tradgedy and celebration were had and Vitore was never more alive. Until one fateful day over 2000 years ago the sky went up in flames, light tore thru the clouds and the continent of Vaalnurreth was burned decimated into ruin, becoming The Radiant Void it is today. In the year 1224 in The Age of Serpents, The Dark Lord Daurenzeur began to amass an army of undead that he planned to set upon the world to bring all kingdoms under his rule. In the year 2184 of The Age of The Serpents, Varyx the Witch of The Wastes experimented on a group of slaves using unknown magics and elements from The Radiant Void to create Cauldron-Born. These mutations passed along to their children but take new forms when they do so. With The defeat of Daurenzeur, The Black Archmage, The Scourge of Men, Sunderer of Elves and Breaker of Dwarves the Age of Peace was brought about, lasting for 532 years. This lasted until The Destruction of Valinor by The Blood Court bringing about the Age of Darkness. Then members included Avaneir The Avenging Wraith, Vianorra Shyerethen, Klik The Skeleton Necromancer, Empress Eleonora Villareal III and Vahreez The Mad. Within the Age of Darkness, which lasted for 518 years, The Lurker was born, the Mon'tamanar were almost completely wiped out by an unknown entity and Spokstadt as well as Khezzen Dur were founded. The Age of Darkness ended with The Liberation of The Awakened and The Defeat of Varryn Bloodbeard, Dwarf King of Khezzen Dur and Aletheya Shyerethen, Elven Black Grandmage, Countess of Blood and Apprentice of Daurenzeur.
It was with The Liberation of The Awakened that the Age of Shards began. Altarus and Basalt were founded , then shortly after Altarus was founded began The Great Confusion. Not much is known about what happened, how it happened or really, any details of the event. Only that 200 years of memories were erased. This was from minds, books and everything in between. The only proof that The Great Confusion even happened was due to engravings on tombstones. Then about 80 years later Avandra was founded, becoming a trade hub and one of the biggest kingdoms on Chrysanthia seemingly overnight.
