## History of the Lands of Light and Dark, Nether World's history.

*All Text here is meant to be the interruption of these two leaders **through the eyes of their people**. Nothing here is meant to convey them truly; as they were incredibly secretive of their ways when it came to their nature. This is not proper history, but instead is the idea of what events happened in the past with only a few correct points; as **darkness** and **light** know not; of time and logic.*

Spoken in text, tombs and rumors throughout her kingdom the Queen of Light is spoken to be a absolute being with no rival besides that of the dark itself. The Queen is said to have created everything that is light itself, including the people. All Lightners are children of the Queen of Light and are the essence of light itself. The Queen for a long time and her subjects were the only ones in the land with the only other thing around being the unkept darkness that was present where darkness was not.

**Teglu**, the Teglu is the birthplace of unkept light magic. Down far below. The Queen's radiance would reach the the bedrock of their world, the Genisis. The Teglu being the sole producer of the outer lights of everything beneath and the stars and life force for the universe belown itself. as it sees everything beneath as dimensioned and or less.

The Lightners lived in relative peace, the Queen of Light would then form **the Genisis**. A perfect world, a hierarchy that absolutely transcended hierarchies so to speak. It was the pinnacle and capital to the entire lands, and existed above the Teglu(The Lightners underground/bedrock). The Genisis had a indeterminate amount of layers, each of which lightners existed and inhabited one. Each one greater and absolutely transcending the last, viewing it just as the Teglu would see the universe this cycle of transcendence would continue and go beyond numerical terms and and any/all forms of infinity.

The Kingdom of Light was basked in riches, royalty and loving grace and eternal bliss. The people suffered from no illnesses and no sickness. They couldn't even suffer from the consequences of fate or causality. However one day this time of Light would be broken as the first darkners would be born. When some Lightners grew curious of the dark, they would touch it, corrupting themselves and eventually becoming sick and ghastly creatures, however they were beautiful in their own darkness. They were gorgeous and eternal within this pit of nothingness that went beyond the scopes of void. They were radiant beings of pure darkness. **The first Darkners**. However, when they tried to share the dark secrets of the night with the Light; they were rejected. Shunned away and banished from the Light. Though their efforts would not be in vein. Many would soon venture to bask in the beauty of the darkness too. Soon more darkners would emerge and spread their ilk far and wide. It is said that the Queen of Light would soon strike back against the darkness that began to emerge, however some of her people were skeptical on her methods. As she would crucify darkners on large beams of light, though those beams would be stained with their darkness too. Darkners would be outlawed in every home of light and every town of grace. The Lightners were a very righteous people, very forward in their ways of truth and radiance. The Light is said to be a unbeatable force, created and given to the lightners by what they call their all-powerful and absolute incomprehensible being known as the Queen of Light herself. She is said to be the all powerful force behind the light itself and is even prayed to as such, many statues and palaces of worship made for her. It is spoken that in a previous age; that light destroyed the previous fallacious world hierarchy and made it into something new and flourishing.

Darkners were oppressed for many years and ages, many lightners felt sorrow for their condition. That would be until a angel of dark wings would descend. The legend of the Witch would the emerge. It is said a man of dark wings flew from a land beyond the Genisis and would come and bless the womb of a darkner with the messiah that would save the dakners for good. One that would bless them with freedom and equality amongst all the lands. The Queen of Light would catch wind of this supposed 'messiah' and would go on a personal manhunt through every known camp, outpost and town of the darkners killing every woman in sight; ripping out their ovaries. Their wombs and capsules for holding of spawn and hang them upon trees as a warning to the darkners. This was called the "Hunt for the darkest messiah". This hunt lasted for months, however it would be in vein. The darkners hid the pregnant darkner away in a place most sacred. She would give birth on a day that is now called the "birth of the darkest light". The small child would be raised in a distant and secretive place known only by a certain few. For years the Queen looked, but never found the child. The Child would grow, their mother being one of the kindest of the darkners, as many wanted the child to go out and strike back against the light. However the mother refused. Soon though the child would grow their own mind and would grow to resent the light too. Abandoning their mother's ways of peace and would too strike back against the light.

She would be called "**The Witch of Darkness**". The Witch would create many problems for the Queen of Light, from manipulating the lightners who already sympathized with the darkners to become ones with the dark itself to even supposedly kidnapping royal lightners and turning them against the lightner people. The two sides went back and fourth at one another for years and decades to come. Eventually however when the Witch's mother would die from a broken heart the Witch would grow less and less aggressive in her ways. There were even rumors of the darkners eventually submitting to the ways of light itself. However the Witch would then, in her moment of doubt; be spoken to by the dark itself. It is said to have spoken to her, to have told her of the flaws of the light and the power of the darkness. It is said that the Witch discovered the true power of the darkness, the true power of the dark itself. With that her love for the darkness grew even brighter and more romantic than ever. The Witch from there conjured many dark enemies and beast that knew not rules nor tranquility and instead ate away at fate and destiny. They devoured the light of the lightners and turned them into raw darkness, unkept and uncontrolled. The Witch though not behind the darkness itself, was indeed comparable and spoken as being it's vassal. It's conduit that it flowed through. Her first act was making a whole other world separate from the land of lights. This large realm which was part of the darkners rule, would be called **Gehenna**.

The Witch of Darkness's love for the dark had her create/help in the making of the Gehenna. A massive infinite void that carries nothing within it, not even nothingness itself remains here. Transcending the netherworld absolutely and continuing to do so endlessly and beyond numerical definitions. The only thing within Gehenna is a type of darkness so pitch and void of color, even outer colors. That there is what darkners call in there language "Dikuo", which is a term darkners use to describe something so dark that not even darkness itself can escape from it. As low as this realm have been, it was grander than the universe. Seeing it as a walled and or dimensional structure.

In the realm if Gehenna only the eldest and most potent of darkners exist. These are called "The Elders", they are massive and defy size, power, fate and time'n space. These darkners have been exposed to the pure will of the darkness that fuels all darkners. Allowing them to no longer be held back by the laws and rules of the netherworld. There are no gateways or ways to teleport to Gehenna. It is entirely outside the **veil of void**(The darkness outside of the netherworld.). Darkners are much more spiritual beings than the Lightners who were know for being rich in nature and overall immortality pure beings. The Darkners however were much more students to their own source.

## Understanding the Queen of Light

> *"Light is everything; everything is Light. In the absence of Light...there is nothing."*
>  – The Queen of Light

The Queen of Light is seen as an all powerful **deity**, one untouched and with no equal. Her ways entirely unknown and unwavering; incomprehensible. It is said that the darkness is the absence of her presence and yet is also her herself. To be all knowing and **omniscient** in all ways involving the Light itself. She is the **Omniarch** to all lightners and light itself; she has no offspring of her that is recorded even though any husbands had offered themselves to her to be king. None though were ever picked.

Light in the prime of it's life was said to have struck down the previous hierarchy that this world went by. Though this previous age was unknown all records of it never discovered or found it is said to have been called the "**dark ages**". It is said all throughout history that light is unmatched and transcends all things known within the minds of darkners and lightners alike. It itself is contradictory to the known ways that people comprehend it and that is always changing, never the same as previously said prior. That just like sunlight through their fingers; they can never catch it. Praying to the Light and in proxy the Queen of Light is said to grant absolute bliss and grace, giving those who worship it purpose and meaning.

## Understanding the Witch of Darkness

> *"In the pits of every lightner is darkness, in the pits of every soul and hear is darkness and in the absence of darkness; there is yet more darkness. A world getting darker and darker."*
>  – The Witch of Darkness
>
>

The Witch of Darkness is said to have been a monarch when it came to the ways of darkness, darkness as spoken is it's own primeval force. Spoken to be an **all-powerful** force; darkness stretches its wings outward and is spoken to only ever work through the Witch. The Witch even being said to be comparable to it as well. Darkness like Light; is alive and breathing. Not being limited to anything that the darkners are limited to. Darkness is fear incarnate, it is misery and yet beautiful all the same. It is true absence of all concepts and rules. It is prime in every category and is independent from the causes and effects of the world at large. No force can manipulate or alter it in any regards, none besides the Witch. Who works within and supposedly has full control over it.

The Witch of Darkness is one who can manipulate the dark force and spread it's reach farther than thought possible, reaching into it's pits and pulling fourth beast of pure absurdance and otherworldly nature. The Witch had many spouses, but no children. All of her husbands were sacrificed to the darkness itself and all the more made it "stronger". However there is beauty in the darkness while the light's gaze is bright and blinding. The darkness is comforting and warm. It is said to whisper goodness in the hearts of darkners and even lightners who have strayed from the path of Light.

## The Age of Light and Dark's equality, Age of Equals (Second Age)

Eventually, though how it was done was never made into specifics. The two heads of each kingdom would eventually agree to a truce of sorts. They ever would create together the representation of absolute light and darkness. The intertwined trees of Darkness and Light. A demonstration on the love the two sides had for one another. The Peace between each other lasted for decades, the peace brought fourth communion between both sides, even bringing about the birth of something in-between Light and Dark. Children from both sides were conceived though few survived until adulthood. As the darkness and light could never truly mix.

Both sides lived in peace though, one never striking the other viciously. Though rumors of hate between the two sides still existed. In this age of peace many discoveries of Light and Dark were discovered the fact that light and dark cannot me mathematical or geometrical expressed; transcending even the most prime of knowledgeable rules. Things like distance, space, time, probability, improbability and even the things in-between that aswell. During this age, there would be another realm discovered, **the bedrock of darkness**. Though it sparked controversy amongst the higher members of the Queen of Light's council; it would be left alone and not tampered with. The Witch would make the new realm the home and capital of darkner kind. Calling it the **Kingdom of Dusk**. An exact reflection of the **Kingdom of Grace**. The two sides however, even though they both were deeply infatuated with one another. Would still seek for dominance over the other. Would seek for a way to replace the other as the new supreme leader. Many secret coups and many secret underground operations.

## The Fall of peace, Age of Betrayal (Third Age)

*This age and the **ultimate betrayal** has been retold thousands of times, it is unsure if the Queen of Light orchestrated it or if the Witch of Darkness truly did the acts said, however what is known; is that both sides had a part to play in the disaster to come.*

The war and battle that took place after the betrayal was horrific, darkners and lightners massacred in the streets. Hung by poles, mutilated and tortured. Both sides going back to their old ways in order to strike each other with the hate that lived in their hears for centuries. Many battles across all towns, cities and kingdoms ran by both sides were either destroyed abandoned and or ruined.

They lashed out at each other like lighting.

Both heads of each side put themselves in isolation during the events. The Queen of Light locked herself away in her kingdom of Grace and the Witch inside of Dusk; both sides would resort to any means to win the war. Even if it meant experimenting with the other's power. Darkners used rods of light to kill lightners and the Lightners would capture, brainwash and torment darkners to fight for them. Each side however would suffer massive consequences. Lightners would become inflicte with darkness itself, becoming tainted abominations. Husk of what they formally were. Darkners however would suffer a worse fate. The Darkness itself within them would mutate them into monstrosities, beast and nightmares of pure darkness. They would continue to wage war against each other for longer than time itself could withstand. Soon nothing could determine the duration of how long it lasted or went on.

## Dead lands, Age of Purgatory (Final Age)

When all the death and pain was done, when all the anger and misery had been put out. There was nothing. Nothing, but pure silence. Some say the age came about after the heat the of Light was stolen from the Tree of Light and shattered. Others; it came about when the first dark wells were made.

Either way. The two sides can hardly muster the strength to kill the other, with only a set few of armies still being active and still waging war amongst the other.

## Knowledge on Darkners

The Darkness are more bound to the netherworld than their Lightner kin. The Darkners are a culture of beings who lived in a city known at the heart of the netherworld world, called the "Absent City". The Absent City was made in thanks and memory of the mother of the Witch of Darkness. The city takes energy and power from the galaxies in the far universes. Their city is massive, but in recent time and after the Witch of Darkness locked herself away in Dusk, the city lost most of its weight and symbol. Afterwards it soon just became a outpost for the main kingdom. The Kingdom of Dusk. The Kingdom being powered by the same the sources that the Absent city was during it's prime.

## Knowledge on Lightners

Lightners all live and coexist with the light itself in the Kingdom of Grace. Know for being very pompous and loving what they are. The Lightners are also very isolated from the rest of the netherworld. Not being associated with the politics or feeble problems of the lower world. The Kingdom of Grace was/is said to be far more advanced in every way, than the Kingdom of Dusk.
