Welcome to Selenor
SelenorSelenor is a vibrant and vast world brimming with diverse realms, each showcasing its own unique atmosphere and rich tapestry of creatures and environments. Above this enchanting land, the two moons, Crimara and Verdara, radiate in the sky day and night, casting their light across the realms, embodying a perfect balance and harmony upheld by their respective factions, the Crimsons and the Verdants. At the heart of this equilibrium is King Atlas, who safeguards the realm with the aid of charming beings known as [Redacted] and the guidance of the Eclipse Council, composed of representatives from all races and factions, ensuring the continued peace and prosperity of Selenor, yet with the Eternal Eclipse looming in the background...
π The Elder Moon
Long ago, there was only one moon, known as the Elder Moon, a magnificent celestial body that bathed Selenor in its light and magic. However, over time, greed and ambition clouded the hearts of those who lived under its glow. Driven by a desire to harness its power, they devised ways to extract its radiant essence. These reckless attempts culminated in the Rift, a cosmic fracture that split the Elder Moon into two. This division not only shattered the moon's unity but also unleashed chaos across the realm, leading to the emergence of the Crimsons and the Verdants, as well as the onset of the Astral War.
βοΈ The Astral War
For centuries, the Crimsons and Verdants waged relentless wars, each determined to expand the influence of their own moon. Their rivalry escalated into the fateful Battle of the Eclipse, where both factions unleashed their mightiest spells, weapons, and artifacts to destroy the otherβs moon. The sky tore apart, and the balance of the moons was shattered, plunging Selenor into an eternal eclipse and casting the world into darkness. As despair set in, Lord Atlas emerged. With extraordinary magic, he restored the balance of the moons and brought light back to Selenor. Recognizing the danger of their actions, the Crimsons and Verdants swore loyalty to King Atlas and formed the Eclipse Council, vowing to protect the delicate harmony of the moons and ensure peace across the land.
π The Eternal Eclipse
The Eternal Eclipse prophecy warns that one day, the balance of the moons will break again, plunging Selenor into darkness. The people fear its return and strive to protect the moons to prevent this devastating fate. However, some believe that the Eternal Eclipse could lead to the merging of the two moons, restoring the Elder Moon to its original form. They claim this would unlock unimaginable power and return Selenor to its former glory. Yet many fear that such a reunion would destabilize the world, bringing chaos and darkness instead of harmony. The debate continues, as scholars and factions argue over whether the return of the Elder Moon is a blessing or a curse.
