World Reforming

Legend

“Suddenly, the Boriac made a momentous decision to fold their vast World, brimming with an array of objects and beings. The reasons behind this choice, whether due to its intricate complexity or its thinly dispersed nature, remain shrouded in mystery. Nevertheless, the world was folded, forever altering its course.”

History

For countless millennia, the Boriacs had ventured into The Void, tirelessly exploring and charting Astravel paths that linked their discoveries. Over time, this network of connections developed its own gravitational pull, drawing objects and entities closer together. Witnessing this phenomenon, the Boriacs actively contributed to the convergence, shaping the formation of the world. However, this process was disorderly and lacked a discernible pattern, with retractions occurring from all directions in a chaotic manner. Frequently, intertwined connections obstructed others, and Astral paths intersected so frequently that the intersections pulsated with greater Astral energy than their endpoints.

Legend has it that it was within these pulsating astral intersections that the Gods were born. Their existence gave rise to capricious minds, swirling moods, and an insatiable desire for personal growth and power. Despite their whims, the Vornir and Boriac agreed on the need to restructure the gathered elements and beings. Thus, a plan was devised to fashion the world into a tangible Magical carpet, enveloping the astral realm. This design aims to minimise the distance between Astravel points and transform leaks into physical manifestations on the world’s surface.

Once the plan was set in motion and completion was achieved, they were met with a startling realisation—they had made a critical oversight. The gods, now slightly contained, voiced their fury. Dealing with the young gods proved manageable, as their powers far surpassed those of mere animated Mana swirls. However, the Divine Races had forgotten that without the brilliance of the Astral shine, only darkness would prevail within the Void. To rectify this, they fashioned a Sun and a Moon from their own Spirits, ensuring that beings and objects could once again bask in illumination. Whenever the Sun and Moon traversed the sky, they served as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Divine Races.

It is believed that this event sparked the ambitions of the gods, propelling them towards grander endeavours.

Cartography

Prior to the reshaping, the world lay flat like a pancake, devoid of curvature. However, after the transformative process, it emerged as an oval, rotating sphere. The Sun and Moon gracefully traversed the sky, their celestial dance intertwining as they orbited around the equatorial belt.

With the sun… with the moon…

We felt day… week… month… year…

Walking through time… across the world.

Special

Later, during the cataclysmic event known as the 1st Cataclysm, the breach in the fabric of our world’s carpet was so severe that it tore apart along the equatorial belt. As a result, the contained Astral Sea spilled out, much to the surprise of the Vornir and Boriac and the dismay of the gods. However, unlike in the days of old, the spilled astral essence crystallised at an astonishing pace. This unexpected development allowed for a successful collaborative effort to save the world from further devastation. Nevertheless, the massive surge of mana during the cataclysm had an enduring effect on the sun and moon, altering their celestial paths. They now drift at a 90-degree angle, resulting in varying degrees of heating and cooling at the poles.
