The Birth of Altoria

Before the plight of man and beast, before the fertile land that harboured all manner of beings, in a time before Altoria, there was something so powerful, a force so great that it gave birth to the Altoria and everything that resides within it, these deities are both creators and destroyers with immense magical power known as Temparus the god of Time, Vallus the god of Space and Kao the god of Chaos these gods created celestial energy which gave them the name the Celestial Watchers.

Celestial energy so raw and powerful that it came to manifest itself as the first body of life, and thus began life on Altoria. This force, a conscious state of energy and light, void of good and evil, set into motion the foundation of creation. From this immense energy, the stars were crafted to illuminate the surrounding nothingness, from the celestial energy, emerged a single planet which it forged as its own, this sentient state of energy split itself into many bodies so that they may sculpt what came to be Altoria; a planet as rich in life as the beings that created it. These godlike creatures created the trees and the fields, the rivers and deserts, and thereafter created the first of two species to inherit the land, the Humans which were created in the image of Venandir the God of the Hunt, and the Elves which were created in the image of En'Vorr the God of Nature.

For millennia, the humans and the elves inhabited Altoria and lived alongside those they worshipped as gods; known today as the Higher Pantheon. Yet, all energy fades in time and that of the gods was no exception. The humans soon became violent towards the elves and one another; slaying the people they used to call their friend, and in time began to craft tools of murder and instruments of war, because of this the elves decided to flee into the wilderness. Seeing the now violent and spiteful nature of humanity, the gods of Altoria came as one and devised a new creation. These would come to be the great predators that roamed the land.

However, one such god; En'Vorr, creator of nature, elves, and the god of fertile lands saw this as an opportunity to rid Altoria of the humans who had defiled and abused what he himself had created. En'vorr exerted nearly all of his energy and power into the creation of these mighty predators so that they may be strong enough to purge the world of the humans they themselves had created. Upon the release of these creatures on Altoria, the other gods saw the destructive power of these creatures and sensed betrayal among them.

En'Vorr was wise and knew that from the very conception of mankind that they would seek to destroy his work, as a result, he ensured that the humans would never inherit his power. The beasts themselves were imbued with the full force of natures power; ensuring that mankind had no power to fight against them. The gods watched helplessly as the beasts tore through villages and towns as though they were an unstoppable force of nature.

Knowing how powerful the creatures were, En'vorr blessed the elves with the power of being able to telepathically communicate with the creatures preventing the elves from coming to any further harm; as they had already suffered severely thanks to mankind. Once the elves found out they could control the beasts, they rode into battle to claim vengeance for their fallen brothers and sisters; adding to the bloodshed the beasts had already caused.

Coalesced in rage, the pantheon came as one, striking En'Vorr down from the heavens with colossal might, a force so strong that Altoria itself began to fracture, a force so fierce that great storms swept Altoria as though it was an act of judgment. The Gods placed a curse upon En'Vorr, seeing that the beasts he had so passionately created sought his flesh more than that of any human.

Upon his banishment to the mortal realm, En'vorr; now mortal and bound by flesh, he traversed his spirit among a beautiful yet deadly strain of flower that came to be known as the infamous Scarlet Reaper. En'Vorr then encased himself in a cocoon-like structure preventing his mortal body from coming to harm. Centuries past and then one day five elves came upon his cocoon, because of his dormant state he could only communicate with them telepathically, he asked them to serve him and in return, he will grant them what remained of his power so that they may kill in his name; in sacrifice and in valour, to restore him to his once former glory and power, they agreed without hesitation. As a remnant of those who had died in the name of En'Vorr, whether first lay and blood they're spilt, shall grow a Scarlet Reaper which will serve only to heighten his strength. Those who adhered to the power of En'Vorr eventually formed a cult in his honour to quell the destruction of man; for the sake of Altoria, so began the Cult of En'Vorr.
