Lore
The creation of Atreia remains a mystery even to its earliest
inhabitants. The existence of Aion, the powerful entity who
created it, exists as the only immutable fact surrounding the
celestial event. An ageless deity with authority over the
cosmos, Aion took the shape of a colossal tower as it presided
over the formation of Atreia, and its earliest species, called
the Draken. As a master watchmaker would construct an elegant
timepiece, Aion molded and shaped every mountain, valley and
continent on the planet.
In its nativity, the world of Atreia stood as the pinnacle of
creation. Beautiful and pure, life flourished within the
interior of the planet where Aion had positioned itself as a
wondrous structure known as The Tower of Eternity. The tower
pierced the sky and connected one side of the world to the
other. A monument to the greatness of Aion, The Tower of
Eternity eclipsed everything on Atreia.
The Tower anchored the world as much as the lives of the Draken
living on it. However, the Draken were not the only species on
the planet. As mysterious as the creation of the world itself,
and of the powerful Draken, stood the birth of other sentient
species, known as the Sapiens. Humankind was another such
species. Humans lived and flourished throughout the known world,
nurtured physically and spiritually by the Tower of Eternity and
a reverence to Aion. Humans served Aion with humility and were
provided with everything they needed through the nurturing glow
of the Tower. Life prospered for thousands of years under this
celestial arrangement.
Until the day the Draken grew tired of their role as simple
stewards of the planet. A mentally and physically superior race
to the Humans, and also the Sapiens, the Draken proved a
sobering test for the sentient species of Atreia as they grew
increasingly violent, bent on conquering everything in their
path. As the years dragged on and the Draken’s thirst for power
grew stronger, the fertile pastures of Atreia were stained
crimson with the blood of the dead. Entire species vanished
under the cruel eyes of the Draken; others were enslaved and
used against the Humans, who stood as the only species on Atreia
who fought valiantly against their new adversaries in hopes of
stabilizing their way of life. |
