The Aldoren - Might and Life



Thaeron the Brave was, without a doubt, the strongest of the Ancients. His giant physique easily surpassed that of Caldonnas, while his strength was peerless.

He was a dauntless warrior, and first in all physical competitions and tests of prowess. Nonetheless, Thaeron was a kind, hearty and mostly merry giant. His uncomplicated mind was incapable of harboring true evil or hatred.

His presence lent strength and courage to others, while his sheer might was simply inspiring.

Yriel had mastery over the currents of Life. With her secret knowledge were the Prime Worlds crafted, and they became vessels of Life much like Life became a vessel of Destiny.

She worked together with Kaehir, in the formation of the countless places that later became known as the Prime worlds.

She was also the keeper of the secret of immortality which she gave to the progeny that she and Kaehir had crafted in secret. A new race whom they had shaped in Akuinor, predestined to inherit the Ancients themselves.

But the creators never managed to finish their work before the Shadow God launched his final assault, determined to destroy the last bastion of light and hope in all of the Unfolding Dream.

The Celestials

The Ashar and the Vaenu awoke first in the unfolding dream, in the echoes of the lament of Nyris. They are both legendary celestial races, that are older than time, even by the accounts of the Unfolding Dream. For this purpose they are also known as the Aeons and the Ancients, for they were the first. Thousands of Ashar and Vaenu awoke, but they were far apart, and knew little of each other at first. They were similar in appearance, winged and ethereal, resembling angelic beings, but the Ashar were fiery and bright, and of an extroverted disposition, and an elemental affinity for Fire, Air, and Light whilst the Vaenu were darker, calm and introspective with an elemental affinity for Earth, Water and Darkness. These beings were the first to awake in the Cosmos, but they were not the only ones. Ulhaeron was said to be of a distinct kind, for he bore mixed traits of both kinds, and there were none who could recognize him as one of their kind. Some move on to argue that Ulhaeron h...

The Dawn

In the beginning... there was nothingness. A silent womb of infinite unborn potential. In the midst of this vast nothingness a light shone. Light that was older than time. Existence that did not recollect its own birth. Infinite potential coalesced within a single point, its size irrelevant inside the infinity that surrounded it. A single fiery being stood ponderously in the embrace of naught. Unborn dreams lingered at the edge of his gaze. Dreams that he had dreamt before time itself. And this impossible being had a name that could not be true, and yet it was. Akaon. The Dragon. The Dreamer. The God. Akaon stood silent and motionless, but his entire being was ablaze with the desire and passion of creation. And in this utter silence Akaon thought he was alone. A lone god in an empty universe.

The Champion

There was one Ashar who had renounced Ulhaeron, even from the first days, when the God-King yet appeared as a visionary leader, and had lured many to submit to his wise rule. Caldonas had brazenly defied Ulhaeron's call, because he had seen the latter's concealed ambition. Some legends say, that for this stance, Ulhaeron placed a curse on Caldonas making him incapable of any work of creation, but only destruction. Other legends say that Caldonas had always been like this. The only one, among all the gods, whose power was to destroy and dismantle. Regardless of the truth of these things, and despite the kind of his power, Caldonas had a deep love and affection for the work of creation. Such was his love of creation that it transcended envy, and it made him wander throughout the birthing universe. Fearful of his own powers, Caldonas held them all within, and searched endlessly for a cure of his curse, or at least some form of salvation. His quest led him to the con...
