The Aldoren - Wisdom and Change



Admon was wise, and for one of the Ashar, of a very temperate character. He was of benevolent humor, and noble minded. Intelligent but not cunning. He was rather, more of a philosopher.

Always curious as to the machinations of the universe, he was also a surprisingly untroubled mind. He loved to study, because he loved the very idea of learning, and he was enthusiastic with any and all forms of knowledge.

Above all, however, Admon was a magician. He developed arcane secrets, puzzles of the mind, and mysteries and runes of all kinds were his true craft, for to him, all magic arts, except for the darkest were a natural extension of his mental process.

In this way Admon had tamed the currents of energy, but more importantly had mastered the notions of dimension, time and thought.

Selassea had a presence of true enchantment. Where Admon was a master of magic, Selassea was the embodiment of magic. Charming, sensuous, and without a doubt emotional, she was an adept in the art of transformation.

She held mastery in change of all things. Change of form, and change of state. Change of mood, and change of perspective.

Through her power she could create enchantments and alterations with great ease. The purpose behind it all, was enlightenment through transformation. It was a powerful antidote against the corruptive powers of the Shadow God.

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...

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...
