Empyrean

Empyrean is a gigantic levitating archipelago of islands located on the vault of heaven and connected by hundreds of bridges. It is all-round surrounded by pinkish and blueish clouds, rocks of the most unusual forms, and flourishing greens. Whether here changes quickly and drastically from cloudbursts to a burning sun, therefore, here you can also often see a magnificent rainbow.

At the heart of Empyrean lands is an ancient magic reservoir, the core of which are the elements of matter. It is a place where fire and air, hot and cold, power and peace coexist in harmony.

On each island, there is a castle of a titan. Each castle also has its own look, reflecting the titan’s magical powers, aspirations, and temperament. For example, there are crude military buildings with fortifications and massive weapons on Cronus island, the island of the great warrior, or there is a more elegant castle covered with seals and runes on Tethys island, a titan of the great spirit. On each island, in addition to the castle, there is a lair, where dwells a dragon that is spiritually connected to its titan. Dragons and titans together create a strong alliance of great power.

Titans are gigantic and splendidly embodied humanoid beings with an idealistic perception of the world and strong characters. Et’arī, creating the titans, gave them the finest sensitivity to feel nature and beauty. They are great creators, able to form beautiful pieces of art and handicrafts and bring them to complete perfection. The titans believe that it is idealism and perfectionism that can create the right balance for the whole world. They are always in search of knowledge and wisdom when it comes to creating masterpieces. Most of the daytime they devote themselves to finding new approaches to the matter. They are doing so in total peace on their islands, to fully free their minds and souls. Sometimes titans come together to discuss important issues and solutions on the main island.

Dragons have always been loner creatures, sentient and living exclusively their own lives, not interfering in the conflicts of others. From time immemorial, dragons lived in the caves high in the mountains on Empyrean lands, where they had their lairs. But these were unusual caves. They were full of magical and rare rocks, crystals, and minerals, which served as food for the dragon’s skin, teeth, and claws to be stronger than steel, for the wings to be huge and steadfast, and for the mind to be pure.

But one day the titans discovered these mountain treasures and decided to use them for their mastery. After the titans began to actively extract resources from these caves, one of the powerful volcanoes began to erupt, which destroyed everything hundreds of miles away, as well as ruined hundreds of dragon nests. This provoked a great war between dragons and titans. This large-scale conflict in Empyrean lands lasted for a long time, until the elves, who had already proven their negotiation skills, were able to help establish peace. The elves offered the titans to provide dragons part of their lands as their new home, in return the dragons would help the titans properly extract mountain rocks. Not all titans were satisfied with this decision but did not dispute it as titans have a strong belief in justice. Eventually, peace was declared by binding both parties with the Vertex Covenant, a timeless contract. Subsequently, some titans became so close to the dragons that a strong spiritual bond was established between them.
