Tear of Titans (LFP

Lore: In ages past the material plain was still, the world was blank and beginning to birth life and thought into the many lands that made it up. However in the first age the world was devoid of magic and divines, or that was simply the belief of those that came after. Rather than Gods the world was thought to be created by the titans, massive beings of chaos that over the ages evolved to align and control the elements. These legends were however completely and violently ripped from history and minds in the second age, as the first God was created. Little is known of this God but it is said he ripped the world in two upon his creation, leaving a gigantic gateway to another realm. One of which has remained open for at the center of the material plain all the way up to present day.

Following what world calls the Tear, much of the worlds population of all races were met with pure chaotic destruction. It's theorized that only those at the edges of the world were left alive or sane. As well as come races being completely erased or changed by this world changing event. Those that did survive however did slowly over many years become aware of magic slowly coming into the world. Weakly so at the edges of the realms, but as the world recovered the allure of power and magic drew people to the Tear. Each step and milestone of their journey they found greater and grander sights, as the world had been bathed in magic and the power of the first divine. The races of the world pushed closer and closer to the tear through the ages, settling towns onto the frontier and taking their time to study the new world. Finally these people reached the sea, founding a great city as they readied a grand voyage across the ocean to what they hoped would be a land close to the Tear.

A month of sailing and those of the far lands could finally see it, before even reaching land a moon sized tear to some unknown world or realm sat glowing and venting the power of that place into our own. A land was found and word was sent across the sea as they reach the shore, however no other word was sent back after the first. Three months after the first voyage they sent another, this one more armed and prepared for the dangers that might exist. Much like the last no word returned, however with the mainland a proper kingdom put in place. With it came King Venrin and his Queen Kyrsta, they had come upon a crystal that allowed them to use what they would call Divine magic. With this they stated their domain and held it with the control of this magic. With their rule they ensured the lands they already had would be enough as well that this was in fact the lands of the Gods. As well as outlawing the travel to the new lands, they kept this stance for only five years as the realm had other plans.

As ships began to return from the new lands, however these were not the royal standard. But rather the flagship and battleships of the Arcana Empire, it's unclear if the kingdom made up the name but it is the translation of their name into the common tongue of the kingdom. This so called Empire was made up of elves the confusing race of Aasimar and Commanded by a Half-Dragon and their legion of Dragonborn. Unseen events within the lands close to the rift must have triggered some from of reaction, or perhaps the nature of the kingdoms rule lead to this. As this was war, the first in the land of this scale. The Kingdom was always filled conflict one way or another, but small rebellions did not compare this bloodbath of races and magic. One that appeared like it could go on endlessly, both sides assaulting and gain ground on both land masses over the years and the years were countless. So long in fact that by it's end came the third age.

This new age was marked by the awakening of the titans, as well as their seeking to retake the world for themselves. The world war needed to end as this threat to both life and land became apparent, these forces of nature were far too powerful for any mortal or even army. For a time the world was thrown into another age of doom and ruin, however just before both lands were cleaned of mortal life. Gods came from the Tear to save the mortal races, but in doing so stole the domains of the elements and powers of the world out of the beating hearts of the titans. Even with that fact the titans were found to be immortal, not a surprise to anyone but this fact remained true to those even named as Gods. The power of the titans were drained, but it was clearly their powers would return with time. So the Gods banished the titans as far as away as they could, other realms, distance islands and place of horror from beyond the Tear. As well as founding putting in place their religions and rewarding those of that hold faith in them.

In the present the world is at an age of peace at least upon most races, however the tear continues to both expel chaotic and Divine magic as well as drawing in those who seek power and knowledge. A grand city sits at the entrance to the Tear, known to be a place of learning and great faith. Countless races and people head to this place not many returning for one reason or another. As tales of a new Emperor rises, one that seeks to lay claim to what is beyond and will go to any end to find Godhood. Stories of what is beyond the Tear are many and different, even folk heroes that have entered return with another tale than the last. Despite the tales and the blood filled past of the land, the material plain's future is looking bright and filled with untold mysteries to discover.
