I. THE DAWN ERA (Year 0–800)
In the beginning, the gods descended from the Celestial Realms not as conquerors but as stewards. They were the living embodiments of eternal principles—Wisdom, War, Harvest, Storm, Night, and Dawn. With hands of creation, they carved oceans, raised mountains, and breathed life into the first mortals, shaping Midgard into a realm of balance and harmony.
Yet they feared for their fragile creations. To anchor their divine will in the mortal world, the gods took human partners, and from these unions came the demigods—beings of both celestial power and human heart, destined to stand as living bridges between heaven and earth.
II. THE GOLDEN AGE (Year 801–2,300)
Thus began an era of unparalleled peace. Gods and demigods walked openly among mortals, their unchallenged law preventing tyranny and settling disputes with a word. The demigods carried divine edicts across mountains and seas, binding distant peoples under a common peace.
But a peace born of authority is brittle. Over centuries, mortals began to yearn for self-rule, and the demigods—torn between mortal loyalties and divine duty—increasingly began to choose sides.
III. THE AGE OF SHATTERING (Year 2,301–4,997)
Without warning, the gods withdrew. Hidden from mortal knowledge, they had long foreseen the Great Reckoning—a cosmic cycle where every world must face judgment. By divine law, they could not interfere once the trial began. They hoped their children would learn unity in their absence.
Instead, the world fractured. The demigods became warlords, empires rose and fell in greed, and the sacred balance crumbled into centuries of war and strife, shattering the realm they had sworn to protect.
IV. THE GREAT RECKONING (Year 4,998)
The day of judgment came as a wound in the sky—a vast crimson rift. Through it descended the Watchers, impartial executors of divine judgment. They were not beasts of rage but cold inevitability, unmaking what had failed the test.
Oceans boiled, cities fell to dust, and life unraveled. No god returned. The demigods stood in defiance, and one by one, they fell. As the Imperial City of the Imperium stood on the brink of annihilation, the last demigod, Luna, discovered an Astral Shard—a fragment of the rift containing raw divine essence.
Knowing it would cost her life, she took it into herself, and a barrier of divine law erupted around the city, halting the Watchers' advance.
V. THE AGE OF THE LAST LIGHT (Year 4,998–5,005, Present Day)
For seven years, @Luna (finished) has ruled as the living Goddess, her life force the sole power sustaining the divine barrier that shields the @Imperial City. Outside, the crimson-scarred sky serves as a permanent warning of the Watchers waiting in the desolation.
Within the city, a fragile peace endures. The citizens live their lives in a state of hard-won normalcy, blissfully unaware that their survival is tethered to their protector's silent, slow sacrifice. Luna alone bears this terrible truth: her life is the price of their peace, and the moment it ends, the barrier will fall, and the end will begin.
