Cosmodia

Dominion

        The Aether was enveloped by cosmic elements that expressed themselves in the form of celestial sounds and colours of which no mortal being could possibly behold. This new realm, which spawned from Oza's dispersal, was not of material ilk and would be given the title of Cosmodia, the realm between. This space which exists outside of the Aether serves as a middle ground between us and The Realm Eternal. Aspects of the creator's manifestation split into four separate domains. As per the lore learned unto us throughout the ages, each domain is almost a universe within itself similar to the Aether, but the measure of their magnitude is beyond our understanding.

        Differing from one another, the domains which continue to exist in Cosmodia were not composed of like energies. While in their origin they were once in unison within Oza, on their own these domains were opposed to each other. Oza's grace and righteousness shaped the Domain of Benevolence. In contrariety, Oza's wrath and capacity for destruction gave rise to The Domain of Malevolence, in which every principle opposed that of benevolence. Oza's life-giving essence, as well as the adherence to constant and unmanipulated growth, nurtured The Domain of Nature. The Eldritch Domain, which formed from Oza's boundless creativity and ingenuity to bend the very fabric of matter, both aethereal and cosmic, stood in discord to the unaltered order of Nature.

        In the aftermath of the deific eruption amid the neoteric arrival of the domains, the remaining aspects of the creator, that we can only equate to our spirit, penetrated the domains. The spirit-like essence gave birth to the first deities, respectfully known as the Domanei. In the wake of their incarnation, each Domanei spent an abundance of time becoming familiar with their sentience and capabilities. From within their domains, the gods could see The Aether and were aware of the life occupying it and the events taking place within it. Much like their creator, we have no knowledge of whether the purpose of these gods was instilled in them from the moment of their awakening or if they decided one for themselves. With preeminent dominion over their respective realms, each Domanei wielded their ability to shape every aspect of their virgin dimensions.

        The Domanei which presides over The Benevolence Domain, who goes by the name Paxidas, was influenced by its inherent affinity for harmony and holiness. Thus, painting its realm to be a paradise of serenity filled with luscious beauty that superseded the most magnificent parts of Aetherius. Maligaunt is the Domanei which has reign over malevolence and all the creations within it. The core of it's marrow led to Maligaunt hammering it's domicile to be the embodiment of malice, an amalgamation of rage and chaos, somewhere no mortal should wish to reside. The Eldritch Domain is ruled over by Xygoris, who above all else, reveled in the alteration of corporeality. Xygoris manifested it's supernatural domain in a form both mysterious and incomprehensible to the mortal mind. The Domain of Nature served as the habitat to the god known as Faeorn, who nurtured a sacred wilderness teeming with otherworldly flora and fauna. Following the sculpt of their dominions, the Domanei watched The Aether from afar quickly becoming enthralled by the humans and elves living on Aetherius. This led to the gods pondering the creation of lesser entities for themselves and how they might spread influence over The Aether, eventually recognizing their power to do so and overtime honing that ability.
