History

Here is a general history of the world of Arteah.

Pre-Time
0: The god Atium floats alone in the Void. Unsatisfied, he creates the Cosmos, the mortal realm containing the entire known universe.

0: Atium creates his daughter, the godess Lyndara. She rules over the Aether, a realm created by Atium for the deceased who live their lives in reverance of the gods. She also controls the positive Energy Elements.

0: Atium urges Xandros to create his own offspring. He abides by creating his son, the god Nekular. He rules over the Nether, a realm created by Atium for the deceased who live their lives in defiance of the gods. He also controls the negative Energy Elements.

0: Each of the four realms now ruled over by a god, Atium creates Arteah, the aubade, and the planet's twin moons.

0: The secondary gods (Lyndara and Nekular) split to create the four teritary gods (Psyndella and Vistrosh from the former, Dorgoden and Kloreth from the latter) to rule over nature, peace, industry, and war, respectively, along with the four Natural Elements.
