Holy Valoria

## Genesis

Holy Valoria (otherwise known as UnHallow\_) is a creature known as a Nephilim. Holy is a experiment gone wrong, as he was made to be a creation of war. However, a life of serving celestials and demons to fuel a war machine was against his wishes, so he struck off into the world. Along the way Holy has found many allies first he found Snow, a kind diplomat at the time who rose to become a great emperor, next he found his upbeat traveling companion Bronze, afterwards he also met Dunce, a cannibal, Flux, a cyborg, Zero, a robot, and many more along the way. Holy has known magic since he was made, but it took him some time to learn spatial magic. He studied the ancients texts till he learned how to travel between the realms and with the power he took those he found to different realms. He was bestowed the name Valoria by a archon of the void for finding it in the deepest parts of the world. The mysterious creature left just as quickly as it appeared, but it's memory lingered. The feeling of power that the creature gave off threatened to swallow Holy, and with the prophecy of the god left him with would serve him great use.

After some time of seeing carnage and tyranny drown the world around him in his previous home, Holy decided to open his spell book and prepared a ritual. In the grand church of Nexus a handful of volunteers followed Holy into what he said was "A kinder parallel world". The spectators watched in awe as the runes on the floor glowed a bright, cold blue and a beam of light enveloped the adventuring party. With a flash friends, family, and the home that they knew were whisked away as they entered the world of Iaddithis.

As a light to the south flash the people from a former nation were now in Iaddithis. Holy looked around and noticed something wrong, his compatriots were missing. Thinking back he should have left Dunce behind and his stupid boat, as that is what caused the most issues. Scattered throughout the south, most of the group came together at Holy's town named Symfora to start a new life. Holy, concerned for the fledgling group decided to found the Freehold of Pagonia to represent his ideals for a country in this world, and he vowed to never let another nation trample on his life again. This meant he turned to imperialism and wanting to conquer to guarantee the safety of those around him, while his close council tried to keep him in check, a chill in the air came as a omen that things might soon change.

## The Prologue

Life in Symfora started slow, first it resembled a small homestead on a island in the deep south. Slowly it would keep growing as members from the expeditions would arrive called to Holy's banner and promises of a great future.

### Getting Started

Symfora was well and truly a small town for quite some time. It consisted of one house that held four people who had a dream to make the world better. Soon a expansive cave system was discovered that spanned thousands of blocks which would help with future development. Soon the first new houses of Symfora were built and we had a winery and a small farm to feed our hamlet. However, there were greater ambitions in the background.

### A Home

The keep of Symfora and Holy's home was a long project that is still under construction. It was worked on by Holy and the great scientist Alpha for many weeks until we got the result today. To further study the magic of Iaddithis Holy gathered crystals from the deep mines of Pagonia and imbued them with magic which slowly let them grow off of ether. After a few months they reached a large size and were able to be put into the grounds outside creating a magical garden to great visitors and residents of Symfora. The strange symbols and depictions found throughout the keep are wards against interdimensional creatures that threaten Holy and Symfora due to its large magic concentration. The grounds are currently being watched over by Lucifer the current builder of the island

### Making Friends

While Holy found making allies and meeting other nations bothersome, the right hand man of Holy didn't find these things very difficult. Flux de Carroway was an expert politician and had a great way with people so he was given the job of dealing with national relations to what would later be Holy's detriment. During a period of general calm there were many who arrived in our land either from the broken fissure in space within the south or from elsewhere in Iaddithis. Over time Holy came to meet the master inventor Alpha, the great monolith builder Seven, and the very silly mayor of Laotso Russian. All these people ended up being key figures in Pagonia and are all very important to Holy as they help run the Freehold smoothly.

## Breaking Barriers

> The weather outside is freezing, and the wind is wailing through the city like a wraith. I get a chill and my hand slips, a sigh slips out and I get up to stretch. The preparations are nearly complete but as I sit up I hear footsteps behind me in the hall.
>
>
> "Are you almost done Hallow, it has been hard to cover for you while you are preparing for the spell." Flux's footsteps echoed in the old church, bouncing off the high ceilings back onto the ornate walkway. The moonlight seeped through the stained glass casting a rainbow over a runic circle inscribed on a stone floor.
>
>
> "It will be ready by dawn you need not worry any more." I looked at him my mask staring back at me. His gaze was still and robotic as always. "Are you sure you want to do this, if you follow me there is no going back."
>
>
> "I know, but there isn't anything left for me here but anger and disappointment." His words were calm, they spoke the truth that couldn't be shown on his face. "How many do you think we can take?"
>
>
> I looked up from my work. "That depends on how many are willing to come, but at most maybe eight." The circle being drawn was made to be covert, sleepless nights were spent working on it in secret so it could be to large or people would notice. "If you plan on having more join us then you will have to wait. I can probably make a return trip but I don't plan on it."
>
>
> "I see... when should we gather?" Flux's slight nervousness made sense, there was a still attachment here whether he liked it or not. Even I was nervous leaving my home after being here for so long, but unlike me he had never had to abandon everything to find a new home. Spatial magic made my home wherever I wanted it, but this city had been my child and I cared for it deeply. My home, my friends, and great memories were made here. Unfortunately everything must come to an end.

> "As I said, it will be ready at dawn. Just be here when the sun rises and make sure to gather everyone who is going to leave as well." Flux nodded and walked out, his footsteps fading until the large doors creaked shut silencing the room. I looked back down at the circle, the runes glowing from the weeks of accumulated magical energy. A small smile spread across my lips, "I hope this time will end better than here." I sat down in the center and the runes started to emit a yellow glow as reality began to slowly fold in on itself above me. The smile left my lips as the gravity began to pull me towards the gate. The pull was weak now but I had to resist it until the dawn so that it might grow large enough for everyone who needed to come. My mind went blank from concentration and my hair started to rise being pulled away. "*This is going to be a long night..."*
