History

Creation Mythology

• The Guardians created the lands & all that are in it.
• The Light Pae were born of the Guardians. Their chosen and beloved.
• Nature rebelled against the Guardians and created the Elementals.
• Because the Elementals are apart of Nature's rebellion they are considered heathens. They are not one of the Guardian's chosen, but can be brought in by conversion.

Historical Events

• The Light Pae awaken in the new world. Telrunya Island is a floating island in the sky. Another land mass crashed into the island- a city in ruins. This would become the foundation for Telrunya City. The Avalon Fairies on the island remodeled it.
• They grew and expanded until the island fell out of the sky and into the waters below. Their beloved Guardians placed a sleeping spell over them to protect them from the trauma.
• Mass migration of Angels and Demons from the island to the floating city of Telrunya in order to get away from the heathens.
• The Guardians instructed the Avalon Faerie to train warriors to fight for the light and the first Squires were chosen.
• A chosen light Pae bombs the tree

Interactions with other Species

• In the fifth age the Naiad emerged and had an amiable relationship since they kept to the lake.
• After the island fell into the waters, the Faun's tree landed next to the island and brought Faun.
• At that point the Guardians began to teach that Faun and Naiad were heretical and not to have interactions with them other than conversion attempts.
• Fae are better than the Elementals, but still wildly looked down upon as a lesser part of them (they are taught they are also Light Pae).
