Aetherion

The Tale of Aetherion

Aetherion the heart of the cosmos, where stars are born and gods once walked. It was shaped by eight divine beings, creators of the world and guardians of balance.

Foremost was Huuroz, the First God carefree, childish, yet unfathomably powerful when serious. Known as the Manifest of Creation, he ruled the gods and shaped reality itself, his role to balance light and darkness. Beside him stood Laynia, the tall and regal Mother of Light and Hope strict, motherly, and devoted to her divine duty. The third was Ronniz, small in form but terrifying in might the God of Fate, master of strategy and bearer of the blade that once cleaved a black hole.

These three were the Prime Gods. With them came five others:
Tiranea, Goddess of Nature;
Ignar, God of Fire;
Kaelis, Goddess of Water;
Dravon, God of Ground;
Velyssia, Goddess of Lightning.
Each ruled their own kingdom, worshiped by mortals and spirits alike.

Yet peace shattered when Huuroz, desiring perfect order, sought to enslave mortals. The gods turned against him, and Ronniz led the revolt. In the aftermath, Huuroz was defeated, surrendering the sacred Dovoria Palace heart of Aetherion, where the First Tree grew to Laynia. A weapon, the Godbane, was proposed to prevent future divine betrayal, though Nature, Lightning, and Fire refused it, fearing what it meant.

Huuroz vanished. Some say he still lingers, watching, unchanged. Others believe he slumbers deep within the world's roots.

Now, as a new era dawns, Ronniz sees a prophecy unfold three travelers who may restore Aetherion's lost harmony:

Tirami Caelith, of Light;
Dovia Gunrewlipard, of Fire;
and Lucia Lawrence, a gentle witch and guardian.

Together, they carry the fate of gods, mortals, and Aetherion itself.

And so, the Reckoning begins.
