World of Shaiya Story

In a time before time, when the world was only in darkness, a Goddess came from
another dimension named Etaine, with a mission to create the world of Shaiya in
harmony and prosperity. In 333 days, through her will, strength, and a desire for a
perfect world, she created the vast and rich land called Teos Epeiros. She initially
created one large ocean that she immersed herself in to create all the continents out of
her flesh. Mountains were made high and rivers ran deep throughout the land in
likeness of the veins that ran within her body. She created green forests and plains that
engulfed the lands in the likeness of her youthful complexion. The sky and stars
inherited their exquisiteness from the likeness of her eyes.

All lives began from the hands of the Goddess of Etaine. At first, she created the
Dragon Gods: Thelaiosis, to help her rule the kingdom of Teos Epeiros. Threemans,
one of the Thelaiosisians had suggested to the Goddess that creating two more races,
the Nordein and the Dumianas, would dramatically help aid the progression of
prosperity in Teos. Soon after, with the help of Threemas, the Nordein and Dumianas
were created.

The Nordein, were unfortunately born with deformities and unflattering features that
made the Goddess deem them failures. She cast them back into the soil to be
forgotten. Learning from the previous mistake of creating a race without a vision, the
Dumianas were made in likeness of the Goddess with the Thelaiosisian's loyalty and
virtue. All lived and prospered in harmony and worshipped the Goddess.

In time, the Dumianas developed strength. The Goddess gave them the gift of
intelligence and knowledge, not knowing that such blessings would eventually foster
ambitions, doubts, and growing disrespect and denial of her authority. The Dumianas
eventually rebelled and started a war that lasted for 7 years.

As the war waged on, the Goddess Etaine became depressed with her failed creation
and became weak. Her beauty faded along with her power. Taking advantage of the
situation, the Dumianas ended the Goddess’ life with a piercing sword.
As she fell, her tormented soul shattered and was torn into two halves.
Upon her death, the land shook and the sky darkened as the living things throughout
the world of Shaiya were quickly devoured into the soil as if to wash away the sins
her subjects had committed.

A majority of Teos Eperios' land and inhabitants were destroyed. Fate allowed Proton
and Eustatin, two remaining Dumianas, to survive and rebuild the lands. They hid
themselves deep in Mount Aspeleia and lived together happily for years.

One day, Eustatin found out that she was pregnant. Alone in this world, scared, and
confused about what to do next, Proton responded harshly and opted to take separate
paths. Proton migrated to the north while Eustatin moved to the south.

In the South, Eustatsin lived in solitude and gave birth to a healthy son. Almost as if
she was holding out until her son could fend for himself, she mysteriously died when
he reached adulthood. The cremation fire burned for 100 days, fostered only by the
resentments and hatred toward Proton. Even in cremation, to spare her son the
anguish of living alone, Eustatin's motherly soul created a young woman from her
ashes to share a life with her son. They became the ancestors of the Vail race, but still
carried much of the resentment of the past.

For Proton, his life remained haunted by the actions taken by the Dumianas toward
the Goddess Etaine as well as his own actions of abandoning the love of his life. In his
loneliness, he created a statue in the image of the Eustatin in a tree. One day, the
wooden figurine turned into a living woman in resemblance of Eustatin. Infused with
the blood of the Earthen Goddess and Proton, they became the founders of the Elven
race.
For five hundred years, the two races of Vail and Elves lived separately, unknowing of
each others existence. As their races developed and progressed, they expanded their
realms coming into contact with one another. The meetings were never cordial. The
Vail pushed Northward while the Elf pushed Southward. Many battles were lost and
won on both sides, but neither side could advance beyond the Fluvious River.
As for Etaine (once the Goddess of Etaine and now the Goddess of Shaiya), her body
vanished with her death, but her soul remained divided in half. The division of her
active soul created supernatural events that triggered occasional eclipses. When an
eclipse happened, the world shook vigorously; the ground cracked wildly, and
initiated a monstrous storm. The world of Shaiya virtually came to a halt, and the war
between the Vail and the Elves momentarily stopped in fear of the Goddesses' power.
On one of the eclipses, between the two oceans, a large island of Etos suddenly
appeared and was born into the world of Shaiya. The inhabitants of Etos were of the
Human race and came from the dimension of Gaia. After 200 years, the Human
population prospered, but the island could not hold them and they were forced to
migrate to the mainland of Teos. They soon found the Elves and formed the Alliance
of Light.

In that same eclipse, in the Southern land where the Vail existed, the ground cracked
open, and the Nordein that were once cast away and existed in the underground
solitude, came out of the underworld with an evolved, stronger and larger form: the
Deatheaters. Aggrogant, aggressive, and reckless at first, they waged war on both the
Human-Elf alliance and the Vail as vengeance for their confinement. When they found
themselves on the verge of defeat at the hands of the Human-Elf alliance, the
Deatheaters were rescued by the Vail who aspired to create an force against the
Alliance of Light, founding the Union of Fury.
