About the World

Dragons soar through the skies, mythical creatures roam the lands, and mortals are able to wield what magic they can harness.

The world of Elyndros is divided into three kingdoms:

Luxara

The kingdom where radiant magic reign under the eternal Light above.

Noctareth

A realm of endless twilight where creatures of shadow and ancient darkness weave their power beneath.

Anthraterra

The land of Humanity, where different species and cultures collide, caught between them.

The History

T̶h̶r̶e̶e̶ Two formed the universe, Three created the world, and Three governed the living.

In the beginning, there was only the Abyss— the great nothingness from which all things would emerge. And within this void, three arose: Lioren, the Ever-Radiant One, whose light pierced the eternal dark; Tenebro, the Abyss That Devours All, who shrouded the void in shadows; and [REDACTED], the Unraveling Storm, who brought motion where there was none. These were the Primordial Ones, the architects of the universe itself.

For an age unmeasured, they danced in the great void, weaving and unweaving the fabric of reality. Lioren’s light gave shape, Tenebro’s darkness gave depth, and [REDACTED]’s chaos breathed movement into the cosmos. Yet balance is a fleeting thing. [REDACTED] sought dominion over the fabric of the universe, to twist it according to his own chaotic will. A great conflict erupted— a battle so terrible it nearly tore the young cosmos asunder. Stars perished before their light could fully form, and the heavens quaked with the wrath of the Primordial Ones.

At last, Lioren and Tenebro cast [REDACTED] into the furthest reaches of existence. Bound by chains woven from both radiance and shadow, the Unraveling Storm was exiled beyond the cosmos, imprisoned where his tempest could do no more harm.

With their treacherous kin banished, Lioren and Tenebro turned their attention to the void left behind. From the remnants of their struggle, they shaped a world— a place where both light and shadow could exist in tandem. But their powers alone could not sustain it, and so they created the Titans, beings wrought from the raw elements of creation itself. Durnavo— the Unshaken Foundation, rose from the scattered dust, forming the land with his indomitable will. Pelagiros— the Endless Tides, surged forth, filling the deep places of the world with boundless oceans. And Ouranyth— the Whispering Heavens, stretched across the firmament, giving the sky its endless breath.

The world was vast and untamed, a realm of raw power and ceaseless change, but it was lifeless. Thus, Lioren and Tenebro sculpted the essence of existence itself, born to govern the affairs of mortals. Vitalis, the Embodiment of Life; Veythar, the Guide of the Departing; and the threefold goddess of Fate: Filyra the Spinner, Metheva the Measurer, and Sevrina the Severer.

Vitalis walked among the living, bestowing the gift of breath and bloom. Veythar, cloaked in solemnity, ferried souls beyond the veil, ensuring the cycle remained unbroken. And the threefold goddess, in her divine paradox, spun the threads of fate, measured the days of all beings, and severed their strands when their time was done. Yet even now, in the lonely places of the world, the wind and the waves whisper an old fear— that [REDACTED] is not truly gone. Beyond the farthest stars, his storm still rages, waiting for the day when the chains that hold him will break, and chaos will return once more.

The Primordial Ones

While the universe has birthed many gods across countless ages, only the Primordial Ones stand as the true sovereigns, the divine authorities whom mortals revere and fear in equal measure.

Lioren

"The Ever-Radiant One"

Primordial of Light, Law, and Order _{from lux (Latin for "light") and orens (Latin for "rising")}

From the first dawn of creation, Lioren has stood as the embodiment of radiance, the unyielding beacon against the Abyss.

To the mortals of Elyndros, Lioren is the great architect of form and order, the one who grants purpose to the cosmos. But Lioren is not merely light— they are the wielder of Divine Authority, the judge who stands unwavering against the encroaching dark. Though he is worshipped as a god of goodness, Lioren is neither gentle nor merciful. They are unyielding, absolute, and unshaken in their resolve. Those who defy them find no refuge in their gaze. Even gods have burned beneath their judgment.

Tenebro

"The Abyss That Devours All"

Primordial of Darkness, Secrets, and Sleep _{from tenebrae (Latin for "darkness/shadows")}

Tenebro is the infinite void, the depthless shadow from which all things emerge and to which all things return. Where Lioren’s light gave shape, Tenebro’s darkness gave depth, cradling existence in its unseen embrace.

But darkness is not only an end; it is a refuge, a space of rest, a veil for truths not yet spoken. Tenebro is the Keeper of Secrets and a Guardian of Sleep. In the quiet of the night, minds drift into their grasp, wandering the shifting currents of the subconscious. Some say the most profound and forbidden wisdom is whispered in dreams, but only those who embrace the night can hope to remember.

[REDACTED]

"The Unraveling Storm"

Primordial of Chaos, Corruption, and Destruction

There is little written of the one cast beyond existence. To speak of them is to court oblivion itself, for the mere utterance of their true name is said to summon the wrath of the Primordial Ones— and none who have dared to whisper it have survived to tell the tale.

What little is known comes in fractured accounts, in the ravings of the mad, in the warnings carved into the oldest ruins. Though their prison is bound in light and shadow, it is said that chains may weaken, and storms never stay silent forever.

The Titans of the World

They do not rule, nor do they command. They do not seek worship, nor do they crave devotion— they simply are eternal and unshaken. Together, these three bear the weight of creation itself.

Durnavo

"The Unshaken Foundation"

Titan of Earth _{from durn (Old English for "fortress") and avos (Proto-Indo-European for "earth")}

From the scattered dust and shattered stone, Durnavo took form, its presence an unyielding bastion against the formless abyss. It is the bedrock upon which all things stand— the mountains that refuse to bow, the deep caverns that swallow light, the endless roots that anchor the world itself. Unmoving, unwavering, Durnavo does not shape the land; it is the land, as eternal as the bones of the earth.

Pelagiros

"The Endless Tides"

Titan of the Sea _{from pelagos (Greek for "open sea") and gyros (Greek for "whirl")}

From the empty hollows of the newborn world, Pelagiros surged forth, a ceaseless tide that filled the void with boundless waters. It is the ebb and flow of the seas, the endless currents that pull the world in their embrace, the storms that rise in fury and the stillness that follows in their wake. Ever-changing yet eternal, it does not answer to the will of gods or mortals— only to the whispers of the moon and the call of the depths.

Ouranyth

"The Whispering Heavens"

Titan of the Sky _{from ouranos (Greek for "sky/heavens") and nythos (Ancient Greek for "breath")}

The last to awaken was Ouranyth, whose breath stretched across the firmament, weaving the great expanse between the land and the stars. It is the wind that sings through the peaks, the storm that roars with thunderous might, the hush of dawn and the chill of dusk. It is a realm of motion, unseen yet ever felt, shifting between serenity and fury with the whims of the world.

The Gods of the Land

From the world shaped by the Titans arose the forces that would govern its living essence— the Gods who preside over the cycle of life, death, and destiny. Unlike the Primordial Ones who forged reality itself, these gods walk the boundary between creation and mortality, their hands ever guiding the fates of those who dwell upon the land.

Vitalis

"He Who Embodies Life Itself"

God of Life _{from vita (Latin for "life") and alis (Latin for "belonging to")}

Where barren rock met the touch of light, where the oceans first embraced the shores, there Vitalis strode. He is the essence of vitality, the breath within the lungs, the bloom of spring’s first flower, the pulse that drives all things to grow and flourish. His presence is the warmth of the sun on fertile soil, the song of rivers winding through the land, the boundless energy of creation itself.

Yet, Vitalis is not a god of mercy. He does not shield the weak nor coddle those who cannot endure. Life is ceaseless in its pursuit, wild and untamed, forging forward without pause. To worship him is to embrace existence in all its splendor and struggle, to fight against stagnation, to revel in the endless dance of survival.

Veythar

"He Who Guides the Departing"

God of Death _{from vey (Old Norse for "farewell") and thanatos (Greek for "death")}

Where there is life, there must also be death. Veythar is the shadow at the edge of every fleeting moment, the silent watcher who stands at the threshold between being and oblivion. Cloaked in solemnity, he does not seek to claim nor does he seek to spare— he merely ensures that all things find their way to the end they were always meant to meet.

His touch is neither cruel nor kind, for death is neither a punishment nor a mercy. It is inevitable, as much a part of existence as the rising of the sun. The dying whisper his name with trembling lips, while the living turn away in fear, yet it is he who ensures the balance is kept. The souls of the departed are not abandoned to wander— he guides them beyond the veil, to whatever awaits them in the unseen beyond.

The Goddess of Faith is split into three beings, yet they remain one.

Filyra

"She Who Weaves the Song of Fate"

The Spinner _{from filum (Latin for "thread") and lyra (Greek for "lyre")}

In the depths of eternity, before the first mortal drew breath, Filyra sat at her loom, her fingers tracing the infinite strands of possibility. She is the weaver of beginnings, the whisper of a first cry, the unseen hand that sets the course of all things in motion. With thread and song, she weaves and binds existence together, casting destinies into being with a touch as delicate as the wind and as unbreakable as time itself.

Her laughter echoes in the voices of newborns, in the rustling of leaves in the wind, in the shifting of stars unseen. But what she weaves, she does not control— once spun, the thread belongs to its own path.

Metheva

"She Who Measures the Length of Life"

The Measurer _{from metron (Greek, "measure") and eva (Hebrew, "life")}

Time is neither endless nor erratic— it follows the careful hand of Metheva, the one who measures the days, the heartbeats, the moments allotted to each soul. With her spindle, she walks unseen among mortals, watching, calculating, ensuring that no strand extends beyond its destined length.

It is she who grants kings their reigns, warriors their battles, lovers their years. Her presence is felt in the slow ticking of time, in the steady beat of a heart, in the weight of years pressing upon weary bones. She is neither generous nor cruel— only just.

Sevrina

"She Who Cuts Without Mercy"

The Severer _{from severus (Latin for "stern/harsh") and rhina (Greek for "to cut")}

When the thread has reached its end, when the last breath has been drawn, it is Sevrina who stands waiting. Cold and unyielding, she holds the shears that sever all ties, ending lives, stories, and legacies with a single, merciless cut. She does not revel in her work, nor does she mourn it.

The end is inevitable, and she ensures it comes swiftly. No pleading sways her, no offerings delay her hand. To many, she is feared; to some, she is welcomed as the final relief. She is the silence at the end of all things, the stillness after the last word has been spoken.
