Solemyth

story

Eons ago, the world was nothing but chaos and rugged. Four powerful elements existed at this time – earth, water, fire, and air – caught up in a never ending conflict.But amidst the turmoil, a fifth element emerged – a wild and intangible energy named spirit. When everywhere seemed to not be fit for living, it denied this and refused to concede.Then, a miracle happened, one that no one expected but all were grateful for. Though the elements spent eons waging war and battling against each other, their hearts softened, and they began to see the value in one another. The pools of magic that had gathered themselves manifested into limbs and bodies, and before they all knew it, there they were. The elements of earth, water, fire, air, spirit sitting together and discussing the well-being of the world. A surprising turn of events, but a welcoming one.

“The lands no longer scattered and laid waste,The seas no longer being plagued by rage and fury,The winds no longer howling and carrying away the world's riches,The fire no longer roaring and leaving devastation in its wake,So when the elements of earth, water, fire, air, spirit come together to find peaceful coexistence,Life forms of all kinds finally begin to take root and find their place in this world.”

The very first beings to ever exist were mere extensions of the Uponders themselves, their very existence is a result of the intense strength of the magic that flowed within them.With the passage of time and the immense expanse that the world has grown, no one can discern the true number of the inhabitants within Solemyth anymore.
