The Fallen Forces

The Fallen Forces

Many powerful beings were lost when the end came. Much documentation is still carried about them, yet their fates are at present unknown.

The Lost Pantheon

Once the supreme rulers of the multiverse, the Gods and their servants were absolute beings with powers beyond mortal understanding. Each with their own circles of influence, they controlled all that had to do with their domain. Despite this, their fate remains unknown after the end came.

Greater Demons

Beings once borne of Farcanith which commanded incredible powers and plagued the multiverse with their actions. They brought destruction wherever they influenced with their vile sins, before the end came for them too.

Elder Dragons

Ancient creatures who had apocalyptic abilities, their wars caused the continents of the previous worlds to split. Having stayed mostly dormant before the end came, these great beings spawned the Draxgar and Danakov into existence. Their fates are unknown.

The Archfey

Those who dwelled in The Fey Wilds, they were the rulers of their respective seasons. The Archfey were children of Arvora, whose speech commanded the very world around them. Their fate after the end is unknown.

The Vaya Lords

The Vaya Lords were manifestations of the concepts that they represented. Existing within their own planes as primordial beings, they seldom interacted with the mortal world before the end came.

The Forces

In the beginning, the two forces of Creation and Absence are what form the basic fundamentals of thought. These two forces remain naturally opposed in an everlasting and unmoving struggle. However, the aspects of Creation are stronger than that of Absence. The very idea of Absence cannot exist without something being created to be destroyed. And so this struggle continues in an eternal cycle, each energy filling out a certain portion of all realms.

The Aurum

The shell surrounding a soul that allows a being to manipulate forces such as Aura, Mana, and Shakti.

Aura: Creation Aura is the energy of the Gods and of creation itself. Aura in this regard is pure, and though at times it can be used for profane means, corruption does not equate to a lack of creation. Aura, unlike many of the other energies, manifests within the hearts and minds of mortals, gods, and demons. These powers are shared between these three entities in an ebb and flow. Rarely, Aura manifests itself into solid materials such as Meteoric Iron, something from the celestials themselves, but more often than not, it is the most intangible of the energies. This pure belief and willpower is said to be the very essence of hope. Divinity: Power of the Faithful Demonbrand: Power of the Wicked

Mana: Change Mana is formed of the blood of Creation. Though Mana is not creation itself, mana is often attributed to the change of creation and its ideas. Mana is not from the realm of Aversia itself, but is from beyond The Veil, a realm between realms which binds all existences to one another. Mana as a power is thus foreign to mortals and to the realm at large. Most things consume or can channel mana through them in order to obtain a greater purpose. The most powerful creatures to hold the ability of Mana would be that of the Archfey, who were taught this ability by the Goddess of Magic herself and use it to control the change of the very seasons on the plane of the Fey Wilds, or anywhere they decide to visit.

Shakti: Balance Shakti is the essence of most objects within the realms. Each thing is made of Shakti. Because of this, shamans often manipulate this Shakti in order to change their interactions within the realms. Shakti as a force is constant and always is in balance. It is said that if a fire is extinguished in one place, another is lit elsewhere. The Vaya Lords are the embodiment of this energy. Their position is highly stable and unable to be further changed nor revoked. Elder Dragons too manipulate and embody the balance in the form of destruction, able to wipe the world anew when it has become so disparate of its origins. Shakti remains as the great stabilizer of the realms. Another common misconception is that Shakti comes from the elemental planes. This is not the case as, unlike mana, Shakti is the only native energy on the plane, and its presence on Aversia and other like-worlds is what gives these foreign planes such as Tletuego their energies.

Exia: Absence Exia is the force of Absence, or The Void. It is difficult to categorize Exia as it is technically not a power or energy, but the total lack thereof. Exia because of this remains more conceptual than tangible. Exia cannot exist without Aura, and vice versa. Exia however seeks to trample Mana, Shakti, and Aura and become one with nothing. Exia both can and cannot exist at the same time, for the very notion of Exia is non-existence. Those corrupted by the Void cannot truly harness the powers of Exia, for they are still of creations origin, yet they can be gifted the ability to manipulate it if they are turned against their kin.
