## History

### Beginning

For thousands of years there was nothing much in the universe, except for the two Star Giants, Achenreus and Sachal. The two entities were the only two things to exist in the domain of darkness and nothingness. Over time, the two stars started getting closer to one another until eventually they were so close that they collided with one another, creating a massive explosion which finally spread light across the universe.

### The Dawn

After the massive explosion, the universe was filled with star dust, the entity that brought light. There was a complete harmony until some of the star dust became unstable. From that unstable dust Thalassa Velen was born, a celestial dragon. The newly born creature roamed the universe alone for years, not knowing what to do in this empty space. While roaming, the celestial dragon started playing with the star dust in his palm and as the dust was combining with each other that's how the first stars were created. Soon enough, the stars began lightening every corner of the universe. Thalassa would explore the space to try and find more materials to work with when he found hardened star dust. Together with some powdery star dust, he made an orb shaped entity, but it felt like it was missing something. In order not to make it yet another star, Thalassa added some of his blood into the new entity that he made, resulting in the orb actually having a surface, with waters flowing on it. That's how the world of Ef'thar was made.

### The Vanguard

After the world of Ef'thar was made, Thalassa kept a watch over his creation, flying around it in circles. Everything on the surface was empty. The celestial God kept thinking of ways to improve his creation and after being unable to, he grabbed a star and threw it against the planet. After entering Ef'thar's atmosphere, the star that Thalassa threw began collapsing in the sky with pieces falling all around until the largest chunk landed on the top of a mountain, making the top concaved. A huge impact could be felt throughout Ef'thar, even Thalassa realized what he had done. He looked at the area of impact and tried fixing it by pouring some of his blood in the curved area on the top, but instead of fixing it his blood turned into magma that got even deeper into the surface of the world through several cracks in the mountain. Thalassa just stared at it as from the magma arose something. A new creature. The creature slowly cleaned itself from the magma and to the celestial God's surprise, it was a smaller version of him, another dragon. Thalassa looked at the smaller dragon and after a while he began talking to it. He gave it the name "Orion Pax" meaning "The Fallen Star". The Celestial God assigned Orion with keeping Ef'thar safe from inside and creating life there. It took him a long time but the Lesser God finally had an idea. He made several shapes for faunas by using Ef'thar's materials such as water, oxygen. hydrogen, etc. After making the shapes with materials, Orion decided to add some spiritual fire from as a final element. After adding the finishing touch, he watched as now new creatures began appearing. Thalassa watched Orion's progress and admired his creativity. He knew he assigned the right person to protect the world he made.
