History (Adrea Supplement)
Adrea simplified
Brief description of eras
Prereality
Before life as it is known came to be, there were four planes. The Five rings of Hell, the Grey wastes, the Elemental Chaos, and the Abyss
Each boasted its own inhabitants, the Five rings of hell contained the Devil Princes and their armies of Fiends, The Elemental Chaos held the grand primordial of Animus, and the Grey wastes were marched by the Huskless, Wandering souls without purpose or a body to bring being into. Only the Abyss was absent of life, instead being a maelstrom of madness and chaos, a breach to the outer fringes of reality.
The world was like this for a long time, Animos wandering the chaos, the princes kings of nothing but their thrones, and the souls aimless. This was until Animos decided he would bring peace to the tortured souls of the Grey Wastes. He used his power to separate the elemental chaos, into four planes of elemental power. He used these newly formed planes to forge the Grey wastes into a liveable space, created the sky and seas, the land and the volcanos that dotted it. He crafted the sun to bring colour to the eternally shadowed lands, and took parts from his own form to create bodies for the souls that wandered the now vibrant landscape he created. Weakened, he crafted from his own existence four paragons, Volaris, Terranis, Aquanis and Ignaris to govern nature when he were to fall, tethering them each to their own, new elemental planes of air, earth, water and fire.
Sapped of his strength, and his body divided into his children, Animos created Gihros from his lifeforce, a sole god to govern the Material reality to henceforth be known as Animos
With control out of his hand, he watched with horror as he died, as Gihros used his gifted dominion over life to torture and ruin the lives of all he created. In a last display of strength, he gifted mortals with a protector, and hoped he could save reality from the evil he mistakenly cast upon it.
And thus began the age of Turbulence.
