Creation Story
In the beginning all races lived in peace on Celestara.
Then came the Nyxarians (also known as the Nyx) from the sky and called down the stars upon the land of Celestara ripping the land apart creating the island continent Skylathar.
After the devastating attack, the Nyx left never to be seen again.
The Fey, being the more fragile folk, would have perished had it not been for the god Equinor the Eternal Arbiter, who at the darkest hour opened a gateway to the Feywild, a new land for the Fey to restart their civilisation.
But the disaster was not at its end.
For the attack of the Nyx had split open the very ground and awoken the Great Wyrm Vorthar the Worldeater.
The god of day, Sol the Dawnfather and the goddess of night, Nocturna the Nightbringer put aside their feud for the sky and joined forces for the first time in history to lead the remaining races against Vorthar.
Alas, The Worldeater was too strong a foe. Sol sacrificed his eyes and Nocturna her voice to create the race of Giants to combat Vorthar and they have been at war ever since.
The Gate of Daisies
Legend has it that the gate Equinor opened to the Feywild was made of daisies and in the rush to save the Fey, Equinor forgot to close the gate leaving a permanently stable gateway to the Feywild.
Over time, people of Skylathar started trading with the Fey and soon a trading post emerged only to become a village, then a town and so on until the mighty city of Daisygate arose.
in reality most people attribute the legend to the luck the city has had establishing itself as a trading power house of Skylathar.
Luck and lucky people are described as “having a daisy moment”, “blessed by the daisies” and similar. Indeed, it is used as a greeting as well: “Have a daisy day.”
The emergence of The Raven Queen, Shepherd of the Dead.
The casualties of the attack of the Nyx and Vorthar’s emergence created a new for a new god to shepherd the dead and Nerull the Reaper of Souls was born.
As grew in power, so did Nerull’s greed and he started hoarding the souls of the dead instead of directing them to their final destination.
Of the souls Nerull gathered, he found the mighty soul of Nera, an ambitious human sorceress queen whom he took as his bride. Together they ruled the domain of the dead and grew in power and ambition.
Nocturna and Sol got increasingly worried about Nerull’s expanding power, but knew they were no match for the combined power of Nerull and Nera to successfully deal with the threat.
But they also knew that Nera was filled with ambition and had married Nerull solely to gain power, a choice that had now hit is limits.
In secret, Nocturna convinced Nera to turn against Nerull with the promise that she would take his place as the shepherd of souls. Nera agreed under the condition that Sol and Nocturna would make all mortal creatures forget Nera’s name and origins and that she would henceforth be known only as The Raven Queen.
As Sol and Nocturna attacked Nerull, Nera—now known as the Raven Queen—released all the trapped souls in Nerull’s realm so he could no longer draw upon their powers.
Nerull, realising the betrayal too late, was powerless against the mighty gods and was defeated for good leaving the Raven Queen to take his place.
