THE WORLD MAP OF IONIA
***
This map was created by me, and lots of effort has been put into it. If anyone is caught stealing it, then they will be reported, and blocked.

Once upon a time, long ago, at the very beginning of it all, there was a single spark. Small, seemingly harmless, but that little spark grew to eventually create what we all know as life today. That small light was the beginning of time, the embodiment of life.
We call her Vita, for her name meant Life, and she was the mother of the universe.
And from life, the opposite must also be created, and that was how Mors came to be of existence, the embodiment of death. One cannot exist without the other as all that will come from their separation is ruin, and so, between Vita and Mors, the first children were born.
Embodiments of everything we know today, beings that made the world to be what it is; Justice, wisdom, health, nature, beauty, greed, and so on.
The undefined beings all lived in peace for millenniums, discovering what life was, and giving it meaning, until eventually, a new branch had sprouted out of Vita, the embodiment of magic, Creatio, and with this birth, a new era began.
They called the world Ionia, a creation in which Vita and Creatio worked on together, and all the embodiments enjoyed watching history on this planet unfold.
Vita created Ionia, and Creatio infused it with her power; the sparks of their work creating the original mages, the first group of people to walk the land. And seeing their unique creation, Vita grew to love them, deciding to create more, but without the help of Creatio this time, and this is how the first humans were born, beings that were unable to harness the power of magic, but still Vita loved these beings, and watched over them with a smile.
Seeing the humans who couldn't harness any magic, the mages believed themselves to be superior, and with their magic, they broke a part of the earth off, pulling it up to rest above the clouds where they resided for centuries, living prosperously, and looking after their own kind; They called that floating city Andreas, the most advanced civilisation that Ionia had ever seen, the first and last city of mages, the original mortals.
All the while, the humans continued to live without a hint of any magic on the surface of the earth, only being able to look up at the floating city above them, and writing stories about what they imagined it to be like.
But no story lasts forever, and the age of the mages was bound to come to an end sooner or later, and with the divine beings, as they called them, looking down at them, the mages era had abruptly come to an end.
