Lucandria

Lucandria, Land of the Forgotten Miakis

In ancient times, during the Great War, Templa, the Queen of the Miakis, self-destructed and imploded in an attempt to save the last of her people.

Who are the Miakis

Among the first pae to live in the land of Telrunya, Miakis were the third and most magically powerful. They held domain over the aether, sometimes called void, because they mastered spatial manipulation.

They were led by the powerful Queen Templa and lived in a structure they called, The Hive. It was their temple and their home. On the outside, it was a beautiful white, ten-foot spiral. On the inside, it was a vast and lively community of Miakis and other elementals.

Miakis had big, beautiful wings in many colors and shapes, which was their kind's hallmark. They were most aligned with magic and things not of this world.

The descendants of the original survivors call themselves Mika, to set themselves apart from the original elders that sacrificed their lives for the sake of their survival. The name Miakis evokes a sense of pride, sorrow and reverence. The name is sacred.

The Great Implosion

After completing the ritual to hide the Book of Transcendence, the powerful blood pae army descended on the miakis. In a last-ditch effort to save her beloved people from extinction, the miakis queen went to the nursery and sent all of the seeds and young, as well as her Second, Astralis Lucandria the aethermancer, to another plain to preserve their kind. The Blood Pae Army was eradicating all elementals, and they had already killed nearly all the naiad and faun so far.

When the blood pae army reached her location, Templa built up as much aether energy as she could and imploded, destroying a quarter of all the soldiers, along with whoever stood within blast range. She hoped the Sila and Dracian would have more time to prepare as the blood pae army regrouped from the tragic loss of soldiers.

On the Other Side

The other realm, sometimes called the astral plain, is called Aynurlet. There are three islands in Aynurtlet. The island the lost miakis settled on is named Lucandria, after the miakis that saved them all.

Modern Day Miakis

The ancient miakis exist no more. They have been living on an island in Aynurlet for 5 ages. They have evolved and changed over the centuries so they no longer resemble the miakis of old, but now look like fae pae. They call themselves the Mika.

Why fae pae?

After the generals of the Blood Pae army successfully eradicated all of the elementals, they ascended to become the Guardians of Angels and Demons. For centuries they watched over their own and provided for them. After so many ages, the guardians grew angry with their children and created the fae to act as mediators between the warring angels and demons.

Guardians Created fae?

They found a way to bind a pae body to an idea that exists on the astral plane, to give it a soul. So while they claimed that was the only way it would keep them in Telrunya, the truth of the matter is that they stole baby miakis from Lucandria, and claimed to have made them as fae.

Fae are miakis!

This means there will be no more new fae on Telrunya, except next-gen. They will all be miakis.

Creation Lore

This new land was not connected to Telrunya anymore, so the magic had been cut off. In order to ensure the survival of her paeple, the miakis leader started charging a crystal with her life force and magic. This crystal is located in the castle in the middle of the island.

After a while, she found that she was aging. Pae haven't been known to age. But by using her life force to power up the crystal, she'd used up nearly her whole life. Along with the five original dukes and duchesses, they devised a plan, and a way to keep the crystal charged.

A mika is chosen from one duchy to become the queen. The queen will charge the crystal for five years, just long enough that it won't take her whole life force. The queen will live in the palace in the middle of the island, living a life of luxury. Upon retirement, the queen will become a noble and be set for life. Their whole family will be included and they can move to the capital of their duchy and receive a lifetime payment. Queens are revered and respected for having served the paeple and land.

The queen can be any gender.
