Aethyra – Goddess of Creation, the First Mother
Aethyra created the world of Caelthyr, shaping nature, creatures, and finally humanity. Humans were designed to be adaptive, capable of learning rather than obeying instinct alone. Foreseeing the instability of intelligent life, Aethyra created the Witches — governors of reality bound to strict metaphysical laws and bloodlines. Their role was to guide, restrain, and correct the world when necessary.
Thyrix – God of Chaos
Thyrix cannot create. His nature allows only alteration. Upon discovering Caelthyr, he twisted existing life, first creating monsters, then refining his work into the Beasts — creatures capable of opposing witches through sheer physical supremacy and regeneration. His greatest creation was Gozu, his right hand and embodiment of catastrophe.
Verghar – God of Order
When the war between Creation and Chaos threatened to erase the world, Verghar intervened. He empowered humans with miracles, imposed structure, and founded what would become the Holy Empire. After ending the war, all three gods signed the Divine Accord, withdrawing from direct influence over Caelthyr.
The gods are now silent. Their legacies remain.
Caelthyr exists in an era similar to The Witch and the Beast:
Industrial-level societies
Magitech powered by rune science
Enchanted firearms, rune engines, artificial augmentation
Cities where science and sorcery coexist uneasily
Magic is no longer mystical alone — it is studied, weaponized, and regulated.
The scar of the ancient war. Reality is unstable, magic behaves unpredictably, and wild beasts roam freely. Civilization has failed here. It is believed that Gozu waits in Vael’Tyrra, dormant, awaiting the descendant of the Chaos bloodline foretold by prophecy.
Feared by all. Entered by few.
A land of kingdoms, aristocracy, and lineage. Eldharyn is secretly infiltrated by vampires, who embed themselves into noble bloodlines, manipulating succession, wealth, and power from within. Officially, vampires do not exist here. In truth, many rulers are not fully human.
The largest and most technologically advanced continent. Governed by councils and republics, Astra Polis is the heart of:
Rune science
Magitech infrastructure
The Frankenstein Doctrine (human augmentation)
Innovation thrives, but so does ethical decay.
A theocratic empire ruled like a Vatican. The Pope is the supreme authority, claiming divine mandate from Verghar. The Inquisition operates here, hunting witches, beasts, curse items, and heretics worldwide.
