Chronicles of Aethros

Seldarius

Little is known about this ancient ascetic. Folklore tells us of the only account that he existed in history was during the dark age of the lunatic wars. Legend has it that he invoked the power of Elyohim, no existing description of the summoning was ever accounted, but it was said that after this said event, rare amaranthine and mystrile flowers were discovered.

Lunatic Wars

Said to have happened as atrocities and discrimination against the Seldarin followers by the majority of the elven nations eleven hundred centuries after their first arrival through a time rift. The cause was said to be the persistent refusal of the Seldarins to conform to the use and implementation of Lunar Magic, taken from the crystal dew that condenses on plants every full moon.

Seldarin

The followers of Seldarius, they claim to have shared ancestral blood with him, that’s why they easily grasp the “reality” Seldarius preaches. Living in the edges of the cyprean forest, the Seldarin enchants the vegetation and trees to spread through out the barren wastelands of the ashfield lands. Folklore also has it, that they were the first colonies of elves who set out to tame the harsh world of Aethros.

Records of the preachings of Seldarius

Much of Seldarin text and rune graphs had been destroyed during the great reckoning. Most of the knowledge of the history of the elven race and the world of Aethros had been burned in the fires of the phenixian summoning of Seldarius. It was said to be that in every place that a Seldarin blood had spilled, a column of white fire burst forth from the ground, instantly incinerating any nearby matter.

*Seldarin prophecies state the coming of the ancient Iluvatars, who created the elven people. Most of the pioneer elven settlers blamed the Iluvatars for the destruction of their home planet, after the time rift was destroyed. An account from the ancient ballads state that fire and death swept the land as the time rift leaked the destruction of Aethros through the time rift, hundreds of elven alchronomists died before the stellar gateway was sealed off. Before the appearance of Seldarius, elven society shunned all forms of Iluvatari existential theories, submitting themselves instead to what they call as real science.

Aethros Prima

The planet, said to be harsh and unforgiving during the first arrival of the elves, became a trading outpost and research portal for the whole elven generation. Craggy and teeming with savage magical monsters, the elven colonists nevertheless carved a habitable niche in the valley of El’sindar, aptly named after their planet Sirindar. Orbitting the inhospitable planet is the crystal blue moon, whose light is said to possess mystical energy that condenses in the twilight dew every lunar eclipse.

Twilight dew

The prime commodity which lured the elvish merchants and entrepreneurs to establish trading offices in the otherwise primitive world of Aethros. Fragile and rare, the twilight dew forms only during lunar eclipse, existing for only a few minutes before evaporating into nothingness. Aptly called twilight dew, because during every lunar eclipse, the dew is said to be catching light from the crystal moon, emitting a faint orange glow, the plains and the forests were said to be like that of the dawn whenever the full moon comes because of this dew. The shadow creatures, aethirean natives, also harvest this dew for unknown reasons.

Shadow Creatures

Shy aethirian natives who are remarkably peaceful despite their namesake. Hard to spot by the naked eye, they slip from shadow to shadow, ensnaring small rabbit-like creatures with invisible web and taking them to their dark coves hidden in the bowels of the greater forests. It was said that the race had dealt in commerce with the elven during their first arrival. Exchanging mechanical devices for twilight dew, the elves discovered the alchonomystical properties of the substance. However, after the explosion of the time rift wherein hundreds of shadow creatures died, the race withdrew from any more dealings with the elves. The only surviving account of the shadow creature's true form was written by a forest scout who survived being nearly burned to death during the time rifts destruction, he writes that the shadow creatures, are slender elf-like(note that the elven race had not yet made contact with the human race), except for the thin lithe wings in their wrists and ankles. They wear their woven strands of fine hair like robes, and their eyes glow a dim shade of ivory. While most of the critics say that he was hallucinating, brainwashed or deluded when he was rescued by the creatures, some still believe this account to be true, and held theatrical plays in honor for the creatures whom they likened as forest guardians.
