Chronology of The Grand Realm

Quote :

The Dawning: In the beginning there rested the world tree Ysgadal, and from it’s the roots and seeds sprang forth life in many varieties. From the top of it branches light shone forth and spread renewal to all things. At Ysgadal’s roots rose darkness. From the right side of Ysgadal branchs life was lush and fertile ushering forth many fruits that would one day bring life, on Ysgadal’s left side was cold with unlife. Within the world tree’s core ran the hot magic known as mana, were into a mighty river known as Gog flowed at the base of it roots.Ysgadal was cared for by a shepherds, known as Eruii (Ear-Rue) the mother of all, and Ouroboris (oroboris) the father of Night.

Eruii service was to tend the branches of Ysgadal and what fruit it bore. Ouroboris labored the roots of the world tree slowly keeping away the darkness that always a part of it.

It would be Eruii that plucked the seeds from Ygadal’s branches, bringing forth the world known as Chalice, while Ouroboris imbued it with mana from the river Gog.

Eruii along with Ouroboris birthed the Abad’Jigad, beings of elemental nature; Eruii and Ouroboris named them, Terastian the earth, Areos the sky, Liques the waters, Firmos the flame.

Each Foemor possessed one eye and each settled upon Chalice. In their wake, they began to twist the world with their very steps.

Yet even as Ouroboris watched his children he was not pleased at what he saw. He looked at his children as usurpers to the fragile balance of Ysgadal.

Ouroboris went to Eruii, and showed her the future of how the Abad’Jigad would use their power, not to create a world worthy of them, but to show her their destruct Ouroboris by their own children hands. Eruii loved her children, as any mother might, and before Ouroboris could kill them she swept them away to a private place upon the branches of Ysgadal.

The Abad’Jigad gathered knowing full well their father hunted them, and decided that the only way to survive was to kill their father.

Eruii learning of this begged for Ouroboris ’s life. Hearing their mothers plight the Abad’Jigad enacted a plan, to imprison their father deep in the bowls of Ysgadal. Thus they crafted manacles of pure mana, and as Ouroboris came forth, they wrestled Ouroboris to the ground. The battle was long, yet they managed to chain him. From the drops of Ouroboris ’s blood sprang forth the Linorms the first of dragon kind, as well as dragons. Quickly they chased after the Abad’Jigad as they dragged Ouroboris deep underneath the roots of Ysgadal, and chained him upon a root and allowed a single drop of poisoned sap to fall upon his brow forever as punishment.

Ouroboris cursed Eruii who he thought betrayed him. He cursed her to ever be at odds with her children, and to watch them always battle with his own and never find rest.

Eruii wept, and from her tears, sprang forth beings of immense light and beauty. The first was Woden Helios the eyeless for he was blind for one eye yet could tell the future, the second was Elbriani the earth mother, Talros the jester and god of luck and trickery was third, fourth came Phoria the goddess of magic, Eruii tears had fallen into Gog the mana river and she came forth with all its power and mysteries
Eruii was pleased at her new children and blessed them, bidding them take flight and wander the world of Chalice.

Unknown to Eruii, Ouroboris poison worked its magic well, for the Abad’Jigad were not pleased by their new brothers and sisters and hatred swelled in their heart, they coveted Chalice and believed that the world was their own precious treasure.

Quickly they traveled to the twisted form of Ouroboris and released their father. Ouroboris in his rage and hate began to gnaw and gnash at the roots of Ysgadal killing the world tree. The darkness of the roots had twisted Ouroboris into an evil thing, and he sent his children forth to do the same.

Eruii concerned as she saw the life of Ysgadal slowly perish, flew to her children the Abad’Jigad and asked why they had done such a thing as to release their sire. She begged them to return him to his prison, yet they shrugged and laughed, for they said it was Eruii folly that had caused this to transpire, and that she should call upon her other children to help her, for she would find no help from them.

Thus she fled to the home of the gods in branches of the Ysgadal, the seven heavens, and once again she wept.

Woden Helios went forth to his mother, and told her of the future. He knew that it was the Abad’Jigad, that had caused this pain. So he gathered the divine host, and went forth to the Abad’Jigad, and undo what trouble they had wrought.

The Abad’Jigad refused, and in there their anger they struck out the gods and the Morn War commenced. The gods and Abad’Jigad battled upon the fields of the Seven Heavens; the war was long, and the universe quaked with the blows that were given; yet in the end the Abad’Jigad were defeated , In Victory the gods then gathered, the essence and used it to create the seas, winds, and fire, reshaping the world further.

Eruii pain was deep as she watched her children war with one another. Yet she understood what needed to be done.

The gods intended to slay the great father Ouroboris and when the divine host encountered their father they were in awe by his magnificence. Great were his fangs, deep were his scales that offered him protection, his body blotted out the very light from the skies, his claws were mighty and ready to lay open his enemies.

The gods came forth with their divine host and they battled Ouroboris and his host to the death.

Many perished as both demon angle, dragon, Phoenix, and linorms fought.

Ouroboris the father of serpents flew about Ysgadal spitting flame, acid, frost, and lightening, which killed the god Horem who readied his great bow to fire. Elbriani the earth mother gathered herbow and let loose an arrow, wounding Ouroboris greatly.

The wyrm father fell through the branches of Ysgadal and shook the great tree.

The upheavel- after their battles against the Abad'jigad and their minions, they rested in order to regain their power. During this time the age of shadows began, and long did it stay. During this time great orc kingdoms flourished, and small kingdoms of men, dwarves and elves flourished, barely keeping the light of hope from extinguishing. It was during this time, one agent of the gods roamed the vast realms of the universe. The Celestials name was known as Malek and he was the first fist of Sol Diadem. The Cherubim sang and composed songs in his name so great was his fame. His was the righteous word of the god of justice, slaying Daemons from the lower hells, with his sweeping sword. For every victory won a seed festered and grew. In Celestials heart the seed of hubris grew, and as the darkness festered the want to be unto the gods grew.

Through out the age of shadows, Malek traveled through out the world, he examined those the gods seemed to care for the most. Malek looked upon humanity and saw nothing of worth. To his mind humanity was nothing but cosmic dust given the ability to breath and breed. They were unworthy of the gods love. They were unworthy of his love. Malek returned to the side of his lord, when the calls went out that the gods would soon again move upon the plains. At this time as the gods gathered strength, did the Celestials begin to plan his move. He would bring other celestial to his side, and then they would rule the universe.

Malek bided his time, until the time came upon the world of Chalice. The gods attention was affixed upon the time of the Grand war during the epoch of Discovery. With their attentions fixed upon the mortal plane, Malek would strike. With weapons forged from the deepest pits of the lower hells and Celestials marched upon the gods.

Unbeknown to the mortal of Chalice, the gods were besieged yet again, by forces that would rend asunder their very existence. To there mission the god once again set aside the tenet of their nature and knew that the great threat was know ahead. The Imortalis, wisdom was great, and their power strong, yet even those wise lords knew, that even though one Celestials could not defeat a god, but a host of celestials could. Thus the Imortalis gathered their host, and they two entered the Grand War. Form through out the world of chalice,

The Imortalis called forth their most powerful agents, and warriors to battle against the Host of Malek.

The upheaval rocked the heaven and shook the plains. Yet in the end the Celestial failed to prevail. Malek though succeeded in his quest for god hood and ascended, and was banished. Ethereian the mage and bearer of the magical artifact known as the Eye of Helios. One again Woden Helios was born from, the young powerful magic user sacrifice, and lord of rising sun once again rode the skies The universal tree Ysgadal and the many plains of existence were torn asunder, and it took the vast power of the Imortalis to rebuild as they have always done.

To the races of Chalice the gods took on a new meaning, and form many they became known a the builders, or great builders.

Those celestial that had gone against the gods were banished from the seven heavens to chalice, it is here they toil and plot to return to which they believe is rightfully their. Their new god Malek, the lord of vanity and hubris as their guide.

The Celestial that are upon Chalice have a special hatred for the children of the Imortalis. Seeing them as usurper to their rightful place in the eyes of the gods. In some ways the Celestial are a greater danger to humanity than the daemons, who seek to corrupt man, while celestial seek to destroy men outright.

It is also during the time of Grand War that t he time of the infernals, as men come to know them as appear. The Helion race, exploded from the deep fissure of nine hells, by their masters the Daemon Princes to besiege the city of Bastion, the stronghold that keeps the Daemons from entering the world. Of all the Demons captains the Helions proved the smartest and craftiest, and with their aid they pushed the defenders of Bastion to the brink. It was only through the betrayal of the Thirteen clans of Infernals that Bastion still survives. The Helions had been humans once, during the time of Malchior; it had been the Daemons that had taken them, and bred them with spawns of hell.

For centuries the Helions waited for the right time. At the peak of star light, the highest time of northern starlight, they swiftly made a pact with the people of Bastion and smashed their former masters hold upon them. After there freedom the thirteen clans of Helions departed Bastion and traveled the length of the world to explore, and seize life as they saw it.

The Warsparks During the Grand War saw major combat, on both sides of the war even as they hunted for the Artifact known as the last Matrix. Eventually they would continue to seek out the last matrix. Many settle through out the lands, helping to build and discovering another life besides war and questing.
Thus as the Grand war ended, Varanguard still stood strong, While Castlillion lay in rubble ruins, the world had once again shifted, with the dawning of a new day.

The year was 1465 the epoch of discovery, and the continuing adventure that is the Grand Realm.
