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).
