Astracel Timeline

The oldest civilization known to us, the Dynasty of Murok Nad’Il, is credited with creating the seed that would one day bloom into the Legendary Tree of Beginnings, known as Tentar Imbal. Nearly fifty million years ago, the first stages of the tree's growth began, and even now it continues to grow, slowly, patiently, as it has since the dawn of recorded history.

As the tree evolved, it formed a sacred core deep within its bark, known as Varon Calni, translated as the Core of Life. This source is believed to have given birth to every Shaoul Varon that has ever lived, and all who ever will, as well as the three guardians of Astracel itself.

Though the Shaoul Varon follow the Kyrgozan faith, a religion shaped by the Malavotins, they also acknowledge the power and legacy of the original Dynasty. Only a select few among them are said to know the true history shared between the Dynasty of Murok Nad’Il and Malvata. Whether this knowledge will ever be revealed to the wider world remains unknown.

According to the Jimbortan religion of the Dynasty of Murok Nad’Il, three of the Kamb-A-Ir Gods forged a legendary weapon known as the Sword of Farul. Myth holds that the blade was created nearly 400,000 years ago through the combined power of Araz, God of Lightning, Nyxar, Goddess of Fire, and Puril, Goddess of the Underworld.

The Sword of Farul may only be wielded by those who have achieved true balance between greatness and corruption. Any being deemed unworthy who dares to grasp it is unable to release their hold, the sword ignites with merciless flame, burning its bearer alive until nothing remains, not even ash.

The most famous wielder of the blade was the hero Valorian, who used its power to ascend beyond mortality and achieve godhood. Upon his ascension, he was officially recognized as one of the Thirteen Primal Gods, and his name was bestowed upon the thirteenth and final month of the Astracel year, following the twelve gods who came before him.

Ancient records also speak of another bearer who lived long after Valorian; a man known only as Styl, who walked the world roughly 5,500 years ago. Little is remembered of the man himself, yet legends endure of the blade he wielded. The Sword of Farul is described as a crystalline weapon, its blade burning with eternal fire. From the hilt, the crystal glows a deep blood-red, fading upward through soft pink before igniting into brilliant blue at its tip.

Those who wield the sword are said to command devastating lightning, capable of striking in any direction with enough force to shatter entire mountains of Polianyte crystal.

Today, the sword's fate is unknown. Some claim it was lost when Valorian ascended and that Styl was nothing more than legend. Others believe the blade still exists, buried beneath the ruins of forgotten ages. Whether the Sword of Farul endures, or has faded entirely into myth, remains uncertain.

The Elior arrived on Astracel in the year 93 A.A., settling in what is now known as the Umbra World Zone. Though the Hydromancers would not reach Astracel until nearly 450 years later, the two races share strikingly similar myths from their home worlds. Both speak of an ancient entity known as the Void Dragon, a primordial force said to have created the first beasts; entities whose essence became the foundation of life across every realm. These beings are collectively known as the Children of the Void.

In each dimension, at least one descendant of these original beasts is believed to exist, anchoring that world to the moment of creation itself. While the first beasts were not immortal, their bloodlines endured, carrying fragments of their ancestor's royal essence through countless generations. Yet when the final descendant of such a lineage dies without producing offspring, time itself recoils. A ripple is sent backward to the dawn of creation, and within a few years, Fracture Points begin to manifest across the world, silent markers of a lineage's end.

On Keravisi, the home world of the Elior, this myth was not merely believed, it was acted upon. Seeking to understand and ultimately harness the power of the Child of the Void bound to their realm, the Elior devoted generations to the study of the Umbra Gigas. Over many years, they extracted and analyzed its DNA, carefully documenting its nature and potential.

When their research was deemed complete, the Elior made a deliberate choice. They killed the Umbra Gigas, fully expecting the familiar emergence of Fracture Points, the unmistakable sign that a Child of the Void’s lineage had come to an end.

Malvata was one of the oldest civilizations known to us, far older than the Elior, yet still younger than the ancient Dynasty of Murok Nad’Il. At the height of their power, the Malavotins did not merely uncover scattered Tervine Shards, but discovered the original stone itself, the fragment that had fallen from orbit onto Astracel.

Through this relic, they gained the ability to peer into the future. What began as foresight soon became arrogance. Over time, the Malavotins grew greedy, consumed by their hunger for absolute control. Knowing every attack before it could occur, they subjugated the other races, forcing them into slavery and treating them as little more than beasts.

Yet twenty years before Malvata's fall, fate revealed a fatal flaw.

On that day, an Elior slave, dragged behind their Malavotin master, witnessed something unthinkable. A small meteorite tore through the outer layers of the world and struck the master directly, killing them instantly. At first, the slave saw only chance. But as the moment settled, a terrifying realization emerged: the Malavotin had not stepped aside. They had not reacted.

Though the Malavotins could see the future, they could not see their own deaths.

Believing this revelation to be a gift from the Gods, the Elior began to act in secret. They formed a hidden alliance, planning not a war, but an execution. Every Malavotin would be struck at once, so that none would foresee the end.

In the year 450 A.A., the Elior enacted their plan, forged over two decades of silence and suffering. The Malavotins were slaughtered simultaneously, and their cities across Astracel sank beneath the Sea of Death, vanishing as though they had never existed at all.

The Hydromancers arrived on Astracel on the date of 517-06-34 in the Savaloria region, inside of the Sub-Region we call Odyra, named after their home world Odyra. The most dominant religion of the Hydromancers is the Kakachiruc, it is also because of this religion, we find the Hydromancers on Astracel today. Myths from this religion depicted an ancient beast known as the Ninjalmal. For 1600 years, explorers scoured Odyra’s landscapes, until at last they unearthed a vast cave filled with the creature’s offspring.

Followers of the Kakachiruc viewed the Ninjalmal as a divine heresy, while believers of Evolution sought to study it. Sadly a massaccre followed where every last Ninjalmal was slaughtered in the name of faith. It was only a few days later, fracture points started opening up on their world.

On one of the yearly holidays, particulary the Queen’s Day. Without warning, Fracture Points began to open within the royal palace itself. Panic spread across Pyrhh, as believers feared it signaled the end of their world. Yet the Ignarans, resourceful as ever, acted swiftly. Within mere days, they managed to replicate and stabilize the Fracture phenomenon, transforming what was once chaos into opportunity. Within weeks, the Ignarans had established a thriving foothold on Schorcahava, their new domain on Astracel. Thus, they became the third known species to cross worlds and claim a kingdom beyond their own.

The Great Peace Treaty, often referred to as TGTP, is an agreement established on the 42nd of Eldoria, the Goddess of Love, in the year 1048 A.A. It was signed by the following races:
- Hydromancers
- Manifourians
- Kamuzih
- Ignarans

This established a safe environment and connection between the 4 races, including some key rules that must be upheld by all of them, such as never seeking war with one another and always striving for peaceful solutions, as well as requiring that if one nation is under attack, all other treaty members must provide aid in that conflict.

While only 4 Races signed this agreement, it does not mean all other Races are on violent terms with them.

Founded 5 years after the Great Peace Treaty, the Inser Foundation is composed of many Races, including some not represented within the TGPT. However, the leaders of the Foundation originate from the treaty’s member Races. Each Race appoints five representatives to serve as their spokespeople. These individuals decide on general laws and oversee major affairs. When a new law is proposed, it must first be approved by all Races and then voted on by the public, requiring at least 80% total approval. Even though some Races are not part of the TGPT, they still maintain large scale operations that move through the TGPT system, such as the Terrans' harbor in Grûat or technological advancements made possible by the Lynxas.

The very first Fracture point was discovered in a metro tunnel on the date of 1155-02-02 or in Earth's own terms, the 18th of February 2016. When a security camera captures a portal opening up right before a metro passed trough it. Taking the driver and passengers towards Astracel. It was only 1 month later scientists figured out how to re-open a fracture portal.

It was here where they arrived inside of Soronic Mountain, where nowadays stands the Soronic Mountain Fracture Room. Before venturing outside towards the Javis Lands.

Inbetween the outskirts of the Mountain, inside of the Javis Lands, they founded the village of Teden.

After hearing rumours about a new race arriving on Astracel, many of the Khorul scavengers traveled across the lands to visit them. While initially scared of a similar yet unfamiliar humanoid Race, trade soon began to form between the first arrivals and the Khorul tradesmen. It is through them that the first arrivals learned about this world, and how (at least according to the Hydromancers) the fracture portals worked.

30 years after arriving on Astracel, Humans were brought into the agreement known as the Great Peace Treaty. This agreement was established around 100 years before their arrival and was meant to create a safe environment between the Hydromancers, Manifourians, Kamuzih, and Ignarans, and later included Humans as well.

In the year 1186, a creature known by many names was discovered. While we usually do not include species that exist on worlds similar to Astracel, such as Earth, Pyrhh, or Odyra, it was discovered that this creature not only exists on Astracel, but on every known planet. Its DNA is an almost perfect duplicate across all worlds.

Project Aethertech Sentinel was initiated nearly 150 years after the Great Peace Treaty, inspired by Hydromancer magic being revealed as a manipulatable energy source. The goal was to create a machine capable of wielding all forms of magic through adaptive radiant cores.

After the Sentinel devastated the Savaloria Region during a full-capacity test, the Hydromancers condemned the project outright. By decree, the Sentinel was remotely disabled and the facility was destroyed. As for the Sentinel itself, its fate remains unknown. Though officially lost, stories still surface from time to time, told by those who swear they have seen it wandering the lands.

Project Hybrid was launched as a joint experiment between Humans and the Ignarans to explore the fusion of Astracel's magic with advanced technology. Inspired by the naturally evolved Reti-Lompent, researchers developed a virtual accelerated environment capable of merging Estalon DNA, resulting in the creation of multiple entirely new hybrid species.

The project was terminated following the creation of the Pyroclast Golem, an unstable fusion between a stone Golem and a Pyroclast Drake. Its destructive potential was deemed too dangerous to contain. An unknown number of hybrid species were created, as all project data was destroyed when Project Hybrid was shut down; however, three of these species have since been discovered living freely in the wild.

During the first 35 years on Astracel, most Humans lived in a small city known as Teden. Unsure how to safely transport large resources through the Fractures, they initially chose not to attempt it. It wasn't until the year 1218 that Humans came into contact with the Lynxas, who helped them create a safe Fracture Room within Soronic Mountain.

Two years later, the official plan for New-Teden was created, forming a closed-off city within the mountain's borders. With the help of the Lynxas, they constructed a gigantic wall with manned gun stations on top to keep out the wildlife of Resnim Forest. On the inside, large skyscrapers and mountainside-built houses were developed, officially establishing the city and nation inhabited by Humans: New-Teden.

Founded and owned by the Inser Foundation, the prison known as Black Manta Prison is a high-security facility constructed deep beneath the sea. Although the concept for this prison had existed for many years, it was not until the Lynxas gifted their advanced technology that the project could finally be realized.

The entire prison is located in {redacted}, approximately 3000 meters below sea level. Rather than being built underwater, the full structure was originally constructed on land. Once completed, it was carefully transported and slowly sunk to the ocean floor, where a massive artificial chasm had been prepared to receive it.

Despite its extreme depth, the prison is not shrouded in complete darkness. Several above-ground access points lead into the facility, along with multiple observation and security outposts embedded within the submerged mountain ranges surrounding the site.

As of the date 1285-04-10, there has never been a successful escape attempt.
Prisoners held within the Black Manta Prison are treated as standard civilians. They are provided with regular meals and assigned structured labor designed to better themselves. While the guard forces consist of multiple Races, the majority are Titanborns and Manifourians, chosen for their immense strength, discipline, and combat capability.

Similair to how Hydromancers arived, the Titanborn arived in a similair matter;

Though omitted from the Sidrust’Samal by request of the Titanborn, it has been confirmed through their own records that a dragon-like god once reigned beside the deities who granted them their power. His name was Erenyx, the God of Darkness. Unlike the other gods, who bestowed gifts upon their children, Erenyx enslaved his. He twisted their blessings into burdens, forcing them into endless servitude to ease his own existence. From the moment his offspring reached eight years of age, they were condemned to labor without pause. Should any falter, pausing even for a breath; Erenyx would incinerate them where they stood, laughing as he fed their scorched remains to the others. His cruelty knew no measure, and his madness deepened with each passing century.
After generations of torment, the other gods rose against him. Cinmare, Muraer, Kh’Ammos, Mlignis, Thalfryst, Velhul, Natmar’ura, Selene, Po’Sol, Liaster, Apeiron, Sophia, Frae’Sadom, and Arche united in divine rebellion. Their war against Erenyx raged across Myalga, shaking the heavens and burning through the lands. In the end, Erenyx was slain, his dominion of shadow torn apart and scattered through the void. After which Fracture Portals started opening up around their planet.

17 years after arriving on Astracel, Titanborns were brought into the agreement known as the Great Peace Treaty. This agreement was established around 200 years before their arrival and was meant to create a safe environment between the Hydromancers, Manifourians, Kamuzih, Ignarans, and Humans, and later included Titanborns as well.
