Spherus Magna

The main highlight of the **Solis Magna** system**, Spherus Magna** is an enormous habitable planet with diverse biomes. Usually a planet of it's size would be uninhabitable, but due to mystical forces life not only exists here, but thrives and flourishes. Among a multitude of flora and fauna, it is the home planet of the sentient agori species and its off-shoots, as well as the immigrant biomechanical races of the ruined artificial universe of Ao.

The celestial origin of Spherus Magna are unknown but certainly ancient, but if ancient traditions are to be taken as truth, then the planet was forged in combat between two fluidic fallen angelic races after the initial combat made the sun **Solis Magna**, the physical matter resulting from the death of each collective's body of fluids began to be drawn together via gravity and compressed itself, eventually the corpse matter of these fallen spirits piled to the point that the two forces were cut off form each other and rested in wells or pits on the surface. The assumed victor of this local battle in an **Eternal War** across the universe has to be the light-aligned **Avhagnu**, for it would surround the core of the planet and channel to small wells that dot a couple places on the surface; the loser by casualty amount and quantity would by the shadow-aligned **Krahagnu**, who only appear on the surface in wells and sizeable pits, going only so far into the ground as submerged caves. But the Krahagnu could also be called the victors, for it is on the surface that life would appear and largely stay, and so in it's mission to destroy and corrupt works of the Creator **Grunkhar** they would have ample opportunity, and indeed it ruled the surface supreme for almost a thousand years uncontested.

Spherus Magna has had life on it for an indefinite amount of time, some say perhaps a billion years if not more. People have many philosophies and feelings, and these shape their feelings on this matter as well. Some say life was created all at once along with sapient life, some say it developed over time by automatic mechanics or organisms and ecosystems, others say that life was created in chapters through history ending with sapient life. Whatever its story, sapient life eventually appeared in central **Bara Magna** in the form of early agori in the land later dubbed by Nealites as **Geneteira**, "The Birth Land", and it stayed there for some time until after one expedition the species spread from there to many parts of the planet. Later, a race of giants from Bota Magna invaded Geneteira, and then spread to the rest of the world, spreading their Krahagnu-worshiping ways until it dominated civilization for almost a thousand years. A threat to it's power popped up, and so not taking any chances the planet was invaded in West Bara Magna by massive amounts of Krahagnu from outer space until the Solar March by the chosen King **Greani Ateir** ended with the invasion repelled, the Krahagnu crippled and Greani dead.

After crusades continuing Greani's push-back of Krahagnu remnant began to draw to a close after a span of centuries, the world was devastated by these conflicts. But in north-west Bara Magna arose an immortal priesthood of twenty empowered and inventive (commonly thought by Avhagnu), coming to be called the **Great Beings**, and so slowly united the world as nations bowed before their power and rapidly increasing technology, and the sapient races started to worship these beings despite failed attempts to discourage this. When their technology advanced enough, the Great Beings, fueled by a ancient hate, sought to cause the extinction of physical gods known as **Celestial Monsters** to be sure no one would be tortured by any of these creatures like what happened to their own people. Indiscriminately killing these creatures one by one (whether good or bad), these efforts paid off to a large extent but caused the untold deaths of many people. After they felt they had caused extinction, the Great Beings ruled in a Golden Age for a thousand years, making the world a paradise and the old ways began to whither. Many think that this lack of preservation for the Grunkharist faiths and many of the Great Beings taking to heart their place as gods led to their downfall, for they grew prideful of their place in the world and tired of ruling petty mortal affairs and so empowered the most powerful leaders for each culture, they coming to be known as the Zadishah Nahitah or the **Element Lords**, then the Great Beings retreated to the north from whence they came.

For centuries the Element Lords reigned peacefully in their lands, but they too caught the sickness in pride and greed, and so fascist views began to rise within as the remnants of their mortal shells withered and decayed with time. To cement total power and loyalty, some of these Zadishah Nahitah used religion to unite and radicalize that heretics should be slain, others used genetic manipulation to create a 'super-race' and sought to inherit the world after cleansing it of undeserving 'barbarians', others simply went mad with power and used pure brute force to get their way. Such feelings could not develop and boil without boiling over, and so while the envoys of the couple of wary Great Beings were able to keep peace for a century, nothing could stop total war when a spring of Avhagnu was found in the north, in the lands of the Lord of Ice. Being reminded of the tales of how this liquid of power had the power to do the impossible all of the Element Lords demanded access to the spring, which the Element Lord of Ice declined. So began the Core War, the fight over the contents of the planet's core to become more powerful then even the Great Beings. Some allied with the Lord of Ice, some made alliance against him. After three centuries of devastating warfare that warped parts of the planet and slew hundreds of millions, the war ended with the defeat of the Lord of Ice by the Lord of Fire. The Avhagnu had had enough of this foolishness, and so imprisoned the Element Lords and they punished the world's populace for blindly following these tyrants, both new and old, by briefly covering the world in the element of the disastrous war's victor and Shattered the planet into mostly three pieces: Aqua Magna, Bara Magna, and Bota Magna. Those that could not find appropriate shelter where either killed or scarred.
