Linva Reborn: Origins

The presented information and explanations are considered canon by the admins here on this wiki.

## The Beginning

In the beginning, there was Beyond. Beyond gave birth to two beings, The Light and The Darkness. Siblings and bitter rivals that would fight each other for all of eternity. Their blows would soon create a barren place called Existence separate from Beyond and they would stop their fighting for a brief moment to explore this place they had made. Both The Light and The Darkness were amazed at what they could do and so, for the one and only time, the two worked together to make something that would bring Life into this place called Existence. And so they created The Primordial Forge. From then on, all that anyone can remember was The Forge. The Forge was the lifeblood of Linva and it created everything in it and after it. From the Primordial Fires came the ten. The Eunr, the first race to exist. Together they helped The Forge breathe Linva into existence. When Linva was completed, The Forge birthed the Ten Realms above the world and the Eunr realised that they each had to protect these realms and the world they walked upon. The Forge still continued to burn and the Eunr felt lonely and decided to create something for themselves: beings like them. So they got to work and soon they birthed the second race of beings, the Ilimorgoroth and many others that would become lost to the annals of time. When it was all completed, The Forge's fire and The Forge itself went dormant. The Eunr then built a cradle around The Forge, calling it the Ark and designated themselves as The Guards and imbued the Ark with protection from their blood before leaving the Ark and the Forge and exploring Linva and the realms above in the skies.

## Arkfall

Also known as The Great Cataclysm and The Fall of The Guards, Arkfall was the event of the Primordial Forge going supernova and destroying Linva in the process. Near the end of the War, the forces of Mal and his master had managed to push through to the core of Linva, the Ark. Sensing the threat, the Nine rushed to defend it. Together they fought off the armies, but couldn't stop their brother from reaching the outer shell of the Ark. Here he managed to damage the shell enough for his master to seep in through to begin corrupting the Forge. The Nine could not allow it and so they harnessed their own essences and combined their energies into sealing the darkness into Mal's body and shunting them away from the Ark. This left the Nine depleted with only some energy left in them. They were distraught: the cradle had been broken and the Forge was now vulnerable. They didn't know what to do till Nil thought of something. "We have to destroy the Forge." The others looked shocked and appalled until Nil explained why. "If we destroy the Forge, Mal cannot destroy us and his master cannot hold control of Linva. It will be the end of Linva, but if the war is to be won, we must destroy what the darkness wants." In the end, they all agreed and willingly poured their remaining energy into destroying the Forge. This caused the Forge to overload and crack, causing the world the shake and crumble. As Mal returned, he saw what the Nine were doing and rushed to stop them and then a gigantic explosion was heard before everything everywhere went supernova. Then nothing. Then the Light from Beyond called on the Eunr and they awoke in ethereal form. The Light explained that what they did was right to prevent their sibling from reaching and consuming the primordial powers of creation of the Forge. But the Light also explained that they gave up their bodies to achieve this. Then the Light felt the Darkness and saw their creation, Mal among them. The Light called out to Mal, commanding him to sleep, which caused Mal to fall into an almost eternal slumber and the Darkness to scream and screech, stuck in Mal's body and was then banished to what would later become the Threshold. The Light then gave the Eunr instructions and foretold a prophesy, one in which they would regain their bodies once more in the future of the new world they had created. The Light then commanded to the world beyond to bring back the Ilimorgoroth and let them walk among the new world and as The Light faded back to the Beyond, an explosion occurred and the current universe was born.
