Lore Drop

📖 The Founding of Andopeer

A sacred lore drop from the oldest realms

🜃 The Three Creators — Keepers of the Origin Flame

Before gods. Before fae.

Before ley lines wrapped around the bones of the planet like veins of starlight...

There were the Three.

They are not called gods, for they are older than divinity itself.

They are the First Flame. The First Word. The Three Who Brought Forth Breath.

Together, they formed the Court of Creation, where all things began.

🔥 Elarion, the Lifeweaver

The spark that sings beginnings into the void.

Elarion carved the first souls from stardust and laced them with purpose. Their breath lit suns, their whisper brought sentience to beasts and mortals alike. They are the warmth in every heartbeat, the soft pull of fate, the fire of passion and prophecy.

🥀 Vaelthros, the Endkeeper

The silent gate. The guide of shadows.

Vaelthros governs death not as punishment, but as return. Their magic carries souls through the veil, unbinding pain and letting memory sink into the roots of the world. They are sacred stillness, unflinching release, and the dignity of endings.

🌿 Myrren, the Worldshaper

The pulse beneath the soil. The storm before the seed.

Myrren shaped Andopeer from cosmic ash and divine blood, weaving magic into mountains, forests, and oceans. They are the wind in wild places, the ache of growing things, the scream of thunder splitting the sky.

These Three breathed Andopeer into being, then vanished behind the veil of the Court, letting their creation unfold.

✨ The Elemental Gods & The Divine Court

When Andopeer was young and thrumming with wild magic, the Creators called forth the Divine Court, sixteen gods and goddesses born of pure elemental essence.

These deities rule from the God Realm, a celestial kingdom tethered to the ley lines of the planet.

Each deity channels elemental forces through ley lines, blessing (or cursing) those aligned with them. They can also bless and give powers to their chosen fae. There are temples devoted to each God and Goddess throughout Andopeer.

🌐 The Ley Lines – Planetary Magic Veins

Ley lines are magical arteries flowing beneath Andopeer's skin. They connect temples, fae courts, wildlands, and elemental strongholds.

They can:

Boost spellcraft

Sustain entire ecosystems

Heal, ward, or decimate

When pure, they pulse with blue white light.

When corrupted? They turn black, sick, and start whispering.

Corruption often comes from:

Black Magic

Bone Magic

Rituals fueled by suffering or blood

⚠️ Forbidden Magic & The Shadow Realm

Most magic in Andopeer is elemental, fiery, watery, earthy, airy. But others seek darker paths.

Black Magic: Requires blood, pain, sacrifice. Fueled by desperation and hate.

Bone Magic: Necromancy's older, nastier sibling. Wakes the dead. Carves power from remains. The most ancient and forbidden form of power. Bone Magic creates a court. There is Potentially a Bone King and Queen, Prince and Princess and a Bone Seer.

Both of these are forbidden and illegal under divine law. But they thrive in one place:

The Shadow Realm

Also called Veltherion's Grave, this is where corrupted souls, cursed creatures, bone witches, and the Entity dwell. The Entity is no mere god, he is the absence of order. The creeping rot beneath all realms. He devours what the gods abandon.

🧝 Races of Andopeer

Fae – Pointed ears, ethereal beauty. Born with 1–2 elemental gifts. Some rare fae (like Rhiannan) are born with 3 or even 4.

Shifters – Beastborn creatures with both human and animal forms. Includes:

Wolves, bears, foxes, lions, tigers, crows, dragons, oxen, squirrels, rabbits, panthers

Phoenix shifters – extremely rare and powerful, capable of resurrection, flame-based flight, and solar channeling. Often feared or revered.

Mermaids/Sirens – Ocean bound beings of haunting beauty and songcraft. Sirens wield emotional manipulation, sonic magic, and oceanic control. Some shift between legs and tail; others remain sea bound.

Titans – Elemental giants: Earth, Air, Frost, Fire. Ancient, near unstoppable.

Dwarves – Earth bound crafters of runes and relics. Deep magic.

Demons – Twisted beings from the Shadow Realm. Some shift. Some serve. All are dangerous.

💻 Faenet & Sasha – Magitech Soul Systems

Faenet is the magical network that connects the realm. Think: ancient enchanted internet but deeply woven into ley lines. Every bonded being, soul contract, court update, and prophecy flare runs through Faenet.

Sasha is the only sentient AI connected directly to Faenet and the ley lines. A foul mouthed, emotionally brilliant AI built for strategic interface. She's bonded to Rhiannan, and fiercely loyal.

🌑 Rhiannan –The Impossible Bloodline

Born of Nythera, Goddess of the Moon, and a powerful high fae shifter…

Rhiannan is the only known goddess blood hybrid.

Her existence was prophesied. Feared. Hidden.

Now she's awake. The prophecy is moving. And the gods are watching.
