History of Vostera
In the beginning, there was Kaos, The Godfather, the sole entity to exist in the vast universe. The god of time, eternity, the cosmos, and existence itself, Kaos populated the cosmos with his sons and daughters, the stars. Among them, Sola, The Sunmother, and Vero, The Truth. Sola, feeling the weight of solitude in the vast expanse, birthed the planets, and among them, Vostera.
Titanic Age
Sola lovingly bathed Vostera in her radiant light, and from the primordial glow emerged the Titans, majestic and colossal beings of aether, nature, and light. With each step they took, mountains rose, canyons formed, oceans swelled, and volcanoes erupted, shaping the very landscape of Vostera. Yet, for all their grandeur, the Titans were bereft of consciousness, speech, emotion, or the ability to reproduce. Their singular purpose was to bask in the radiance of Sola's light, and in their mindlessness, they engaged in endless battles, sparking The Titanic Wars.
Titanic Wars
For centuries, these Titan clashes raged on, their magnitude beyond mortal comprehension, and the scars of these epic conflicts still linger as a testament to their power. The discord among Sola's creations saddened her deeply, witnessing the mindless battles fought over her precious gift of light. Filled with disappointment, anger, and frustration, Sola withdrew, entering a state of dormancy known as The Thousand Year Winter. During this time, all Titans perished, unable to survive without their life-giving connection to Sola's light.
Planewalker's Age
Upon awakening from her slumber, Sola, in her wisdom and compassion, decided to grant life on Vostera a second chance. The era of The Titanic Wars came to an end, making way for a new age—the contemporary era of Vostera. Sola, with the aid of her brother Vero, bestowed additional gifts upon her creations. She granted them the capacity for speech, conscious thought, empathy, and the ability to love one another, hoping they would embrace her gift in harmony.
From the diverse environments of Vostera arose distinct humanoid races. The woods gave birth to the graceful elves, the mountains to the resilient dwarves, the plains to the resourceful humans, the jungles to the formidable orcs, the tundras to the nimble halflings, the desert to the majestic dragonborn, and the beaches to the enigmatic tieflings, among others. Amidst this tapestry of life, one extraordinary humanoid emerged— the Planewalker.
Born from the body of a dormant Titan, the Planewalker wielded their potent energies.
"The Planewalker is essentially Vostera's Jesus."
