WORLD TEMPLATE
Name-
Alluvium
Basic Summary-
Alluvium is a mythical and fantastical world. It is inhabited by humans and intelligent fantastical/supernatural beings along with all sorts of mythical/magical beasts. Also, magic runs rampant throughout and is common place.
Alluvium is reminiscent of a Medieval Earth only with magic and other elements of fantasy being the norm and quite common.
Genre-
Medieval/Fantasy
PN Level-
4
Tech Level-
3
Population-
Approximately 3 billion.
Notable Locations-
Menna-Tathi is a realm among the stars where Moirai and her Empyrean, specifically the Loikka, reside. It is said to be a paradise where one wants for nothing, their every need and desire fulfilled.
Omituus is a void where Empyreans reside post death and pre birth during their death/rebirth cycles. It is claimed that to step foot into Omituus is the worst sort of torture. Those who do are allowed to feel and experience everything and nothing simultaneously, thus overloading their senses of reality. In the void, such beings are trapped in a world of blackness that is somewhere outside of time and space.
Temple Sytya is a temple where the priests and priestesses worship Moirai using Fire magics. Mages often come here to hone their Fire elemental magic skills.
Temple Maa is a temple where the priests and priestesses worship Moirai using Earth magics. Mages often come here to hone their Earth elemental magic skills.
Temple Kastella is a temple where the priests and priestesses worship Moirai using Water magics. Mages often come here to hone their Water elemental magic skills
Temple Kiertya is a temple where the priests and priestesses worship Moirai using Air magics. Mages often come here to hone their Air/wind elemental magic skills.
Notable Persons-
Alluvium is riddled with all sorts of intelligent beings: humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, trolls, shadows, demons, angels, dragons, etc. All have their own culture(s) and languages/dialects.
Moirai is considered the supreme being of Alluvium, the creator of all the planet's inhabitants as well as the planet itself. She is personified as the mother of the world, caring, loving and nurturing. However, she is also personified to be cruel when her children misbehave and disregard the rules she's set for them. Rules she's set to protect them all.
The Empyrean are the servants of Moirai and are considered immortal beings of sorts. There are two classes - The Loikka (those who reside in Menna-Tathi with Moirai) and The Vapaus (those who reside on the surface of Alluvium, influencing its inhabitants for good or for bad). Though they are immortals, they do have cycles of death. They are just followed by rebirth until transcendence is granted them by Moirai herself. Only then may they join their Loikka counterparts. The death/rebirth cycle of every Vapaus is unique unto each individual as is the form they take on Alluvium itself.
Jett was a Vapaus class Empyrean who took the form of a human male and influenced both humans and elves rather heavily. It was his influence that caused The Great Elven War in which the Meren (or Sea) Elves nearly became annihilated. This caused Moirai great distress, so she sent the Loikka, Jenna, down to Alluvium to rein in Jett. Jenna took on the form of a human priestess, skilled in the healing arts as well as Water elemental magic. She helped unify the elves and humans against Jett eventually capturing him and having him brought before Moirai herself. Moirai's judgment was permanent death. But death for the Empyrean is not the same as it is for the mortal beings of Alluvium. True death for an Empyrean means being chained for eternity within the oblivion of both space and time, a void where all and nothing are experienced at once and you are forgotten forever. This void is known as Omituus. Thus, justice was served for Jett's influence of The Great Elven War and he was cast into Omituus forever.
Advanced Summary-
Alluvium, technology-wise, is comparable to Medieval Earth. The main difference, however, is that on Alluvium, magic is common place. Mystical beings and creatures of all sorts co-exist with humans and all of the various races on the planet.
Since magic is so common, those with the gift of sorcery will often times set off to study the elemental magics of the land and make a pilgrimage to one or each of the four temples that favor one of the four elements of Moirai. Which ones they seek for assistance and guidance depends on the mage and their individual goals. Those of the holy orders also make pilgrimages to these temples, though their purpose is different from those of the mages. For them they are seeking to discover themselves as people who represent Moirai and her Empyrean. In doing this, some may or may not learn some magic along the way and still others may learn some things regarding the healing arts.
There are many races on Alluvium. The mortals include, but aren't necessarily limited to: humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, orcs, trolls, shadows, demons, angels and dragons. The largest known mystical group is that of the elves. The immortals on Alluvium include the Vapaus of the Empyrean race. Empyreans are beings who serve Moirai, the creator of Alluvium and all its inhabitants. The Vapaus can take on any form they wish when on Alluvium and have the freedom to influence the mortal beings as they wish without little interference from Moirai herself, or her Loikka. The Loikka are another class of Empyreans only they reside in Menna-Tathi with Moirai, serving her directly. It is rare for one of the Loikka to descend down upon Alluvium to do Moirai's bidding. Typically such things occur ONLY when one of the Vapaus takes things too far in their influence on mortals. Only one such instance in Alluvium's recorded history has ever occurred. And that was when Moirai sent Jenna down to Alluvium to take care of the Vapaus, Jett.
