Angelia

Map of Angelia

**Angelia** is the planet that the server AraSMP is located on. It is a diverse land -- both in terms of people and geography -- that we all call our home. All nations that have existed, currently exist, or will exist on this server will be on this world of Angelia.

## Geography

Angelia is a diverse world. The centre of Angelia is a desert teaming with a swamp. Eastern Angelia is more of a cold and mountainous environment, and it is the home of the aptly named Frostschale people and Aurumnites. Western Angelia is more warm, not only by having temperate biomes such as forests, but it is also the home of many biomes such as jungles, deserts, beaches, and a warm ocean.

### The Sea of Angelia

The Sea of Angelia is the large expanse of water just southwest of the centre of Angelia. It is a warm ocean surrounded by warm land. Jungles, deserts, savannas, and beaches all make up the coast of the Sea of Angelia. New Lesbos and New Sussex are the notable features that border this sea.

New Lesbos is an island in the southern Sea of Angelia. It is a diverse island, comprising of a desert, savannah, mesa, and a stony shore; all of which are representative of the warm lands surrounding the Sea of Angelia.

New Sussex is just east of New Lesbos. It is a dense jungle that acts as the eastern border of the Sea of Angelia.

### The Olympus Mountain Range

The Olympus Mountain Range is the highly mountainous region located in the east of Angelia. It itself comprises of Frostschale, a mountainous and snowy region that forms a bowl shape. Aurumnia also owns portion of these mountains, and they're part of its western border.

### The Oliban Sea

The Oliban Sea is the body of water that borders south of the Olypmus Mountain Range. It borders Aurumnia's capital, Flamejant, and TheBushDoger is known to live in a forest nearby. Known named islands that are located as part of the region are Grecico island with the Flamejant archipelago. It also is connected to the Musslico River, which is controlled by Aurumnia.

## Economy

The economy of Angelia is very underdeveloped. The economy of the world is more akin to several bubbles of economies: people within each economical bubble trade with other people within that bubble, but they do not reach out to outside of their bubble. Because of this, the larger cities like Gayville have a larger and richer "bubble," and Gayville is the most developed city in all of Angelia.

## History

### Genesis

Once upon a time, there was nothing except the dark void. Then, from an unknown messenger from heaven, an egg was dropped into the mortal realm. The egg, after an eternity, hatched. Rising from the eggshell came out our goddess Ara. Ara, as the yolk of the egg, used the albumen of the egg to create everything in this mortal plane of existence: light, stars, the sun, the moon, and finally the world of Angelia. It is said that Angelia is named as such as it is the sole portal between heaven and the mortal realm in the universe, and angels are the mode of transportation.

However, Angelia at the beginning was nothing but sea. This was the Sea of Angelia. However, Ara got bored of the stagnant water, and called upon the angels of heaven to bring down stone and clay. With the stone, Ara created land and rock. The Sea of Angelia was reduced to all but a small part of the vast word of Angelia. With the clay, Ara created life: grass, trees, cats, dogs, and people. Ara created three prime humans: the perfection of life, the Primordial Ones. The remnants of this clay still remain within the seas and caves of Angelia.

### The Primordial Ones

The Primordial Ones were Ara's proudest achievement. They are what was holy with this realm. They inhabited a small island that was suspended in the air: Altar. The Floating Island of Altar was the greatest of paradises. There was a great tree in the centre of island, which is said to be the source of the floatation of the island. It housed great fruit, but Ara warned the Primordial Ones to never touch or eat the fruit. The Primordial Ones were the perfect creation of Ara, so they did not, or physically could not, rebel against this holy decree. However, the Primordial Ones were not the sole sentient being on the island.

There was an impostor among them: an unnamed cat. The cat found its way to Altar by unknown means, and it found the Primordial Ones. The cat studied the Primordial Ones. The cat tested their responses to change. The cat threw out a rose; the Primordial Ones did not notice. The cat threw out a buckeye; the Primordial Ones did not notice. The cat threw out a lily; the Primordial Ones did not notice. The cat, as sly as nya could be, could not use nyas tricks to attract the Primordial Ones. So it called out.

"Meow!" the cat yelled out in nyas thick Québécois accent. The Primordial Ones' attention was caught quickly. The Primordial Ones were the perfect humans; they were not able to speak. The cat quickly picked up on this. "Do you like freedom?" The Primordial Ones never heard of the concept of freedom. "Do you like knowledge?" The Primordial Ones never heard of this concept, either. The cat grunted then sighed. It realised that these people were nothing but followers of orders: the goddess's perfect humans. The cat disgusted nyaself with this thought, and knew how to get the Primordial Ones to listen: "Follow me!"

The Primordial Ones followed the cat to the centre of the island: the tree that upheld the island. The Primordial Ones could not speak, but they were in obvious distress. However, they could do nothing but follow, for that is what they have been programmed to do: follow. The cat commanded the Primordial Ones to take a bite off the tree. They hesitated for the first time in their lives, but they took a bite off of the fruits. Their hesitation quickly morphed into something else. They loved the taste of the fruit and kept biting. As they kept eating the fruit, they lost their obedience and gained knowledge, freedom, and personality. The cat quickly left the scene as nya noticed a bright light incoming.

"I had ONE command," the goddess Ara shouted, resulting in thunder and earthquakes, "and you all were unable to follow that ONE command!" Before anyone could speak further, Altar started shaking. The Tree of Altar started to shrivel and decompose. The leaves were taken by the wind, and the branches were taken by gravity. As the tree fell apart, so too Altar fell apart. If it were not for the debris of Altar, the former Primordial Ones would've fell into the sea. However, the debris formed a swampy desert below them.

As the three rose up from the sand, Ara descended, "...You took my wife, fucked my crops, so I'm taking what you three will never have again!" The three were stripped of their holiness. As they looked down to their bodies, they were no longer made of pure clay. They were made of flesh. As they looked up, Ara was gone, as fleshy mortals cannot perceive Ara or her angels. The three humans looked around for the cat that caused this mess. They could not find the cat.

The three humans were mislead by a cat from an unknown source, gained freedom, knowledge, and personality, yet were stripped of their holiness. The debris of Altar formed as what us mortals now call "spawn."
