War of Light and Shadow - The Reign of Shadow




The Rise of the Shadow God, took the entire universe by surprise.

Ulhaeron led the Colgatha and the other dwellers of the abyss on a rampage against the bastions of the Cal'ashan at the edge of the cosmos, causing multiple breaches in the colossal bastions.

With their rise, the taint of the black flame begun to spread like a plague, infesting entire worlds with its corrosive touch.

With his power multiplied, Ulhaeron had transformed into something unthinkable - a cosmic entity. His mind could reach out throughout the span of the entire Universe, and whisper words of corruption or dismay to the most vulnerable minds.

He could issue orders to his Khorgon lieutenants across incredible distances, and he could subdue many weaker-willed beings to do his bidding. All those touched by his power were forever warped, endowed with the powers bestowed by the black flame, but also their spirits twisted and nearly - but not entirely - annihilated.

In a very small timespan, nearly half of all the known universe had already fallen under the reign of the Shadow God, and the taint of his power was spreading like a cancer with each passing moment.

Nonetheless, the stalwart warriors of the Cal'Ashan doubled their efforts, led by Caldonas, who, with tireless vigor led the fight against the powers of the Shadow.

Before their divine fire, the power of the Shadow fled, for the Cal'ashan have long been enemies to the Colgatha and the dwellers of the Abyss. Most importantly, because Caldonas had defied Ulhaeron from the beginning, his stalwart mind was untouched by the Shadow God, and his own powers were the bane of the Black Flame.

The servants of the shadow ever feared the advance of Caldonas and the Cal'ashan. Such was their terror, that they named Caldonas the Destroyer, and the Cal'ashan the Destroyer's Host.

But the sinister Ulhaeron was becoming an unrivaled mastermind, and behind his movements, hundreds of plots hatched, and thousands of threads unraveled. Seething with hatred for the one force that had always defied him, Ulhaeron begun to spin the conspiracy that would herald the demise of his hated foe.

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...
