The Origin of Suvis (‘The birth of a New World’)

Prelude
Before this little planet bore the name of “Suvis” and had a huge variety of species, magic and possibilities we know of today, it was a very different place.

The Realms of Light and Dark were never open, The Neutral did not even exist and there were only three known races: The Humans, The Elves and The Dwarfs.

To better explain how this not well known history of the birth of Suvis has happened, we first have to dig into what little we know of the world before: The world of Uraya.

From what we have researched so far, the old world was indeed called Uraya, which in old tongue ment ‘Of Earth’ or ‘Part of Earth’.

Uraya had three to us known states or countries if you will:



The Fal Serin Theocracy, which belonged to the Elves.

Aber Gomgrim, which belonged to the dwarfs.

The Kingdom of Rascal, which belonged to the humans. Not much is known about possible conflicts between those countries, even the map is just a rough idea of what the world used to look like.

What is known from old finds and even older ruins in the areas of the Grand Duchy of Sopadia, Tafrafan Caliphate and the Diocese of Estelave, is that Magic used to be more general back then but also much weaker.

Even the dwarfs used it for their contraptions and works of technology.

The Elves - just like now - depended heavily on their magic and it also shows that they actually were able to use stronger Magic than the other two races. From some written papers it is also deciphered that they  praised the light and the Gods of the Old World, so they could use more Magic.

The Humans also praised the Gods, but for a different reason. They wanted to live after the rules of the Gods, hoping to one day sit amongst them as Angels.

The creatures of The Dark tried their best to gain their way to Uraya, but with no avail. The Gods of The Light would always try their best to hinder them, not wanting them to destroy what they had built.

Researchers were never able to understand the Gods’s true nature nor intentions, but they deduced at least 10 different main Gods existed.

It is still difficult to decipher their names, but researchers have translated three so far:

The God of Wind - Aroles

The God of Fire - Lymos

The Goddess of Peace - Mercedura

Researchers have also found multiple entries about Devils from The Dark. It seems, there have been at least 10 main Devils as well, but only one name was able to be translated, since the old tongue of The Dark is a complex one:

The Devil of War - Elrik

The last War of Light and Dark
After decades of conflicts between The Light and The Dark, the Devils were actually able to find a way how they could get into Uraya without bigger difficulties.

Elrik - being one of the big three leaders of the operation - declared their early victory towards the Gods, angering them while not revealing their grand ploy.

According to old writings, the sky had turned dark for a month, declaring hardships to come to the mortals. Heeding the call, each race had prepared a powerful weapon with help of some Angels, which are also translated to have been called ‘Angels of the Right’.

In our present tongue, you might know them as ‘War Angels’ or ‘Angels of War’. They do not serve a purpose to today’s political world, but they have been around since back then.

These weapons were very different from each other, having different purposes of use in the war, that was to come.

According to the find, each race contributed the following amount of magical weapons and items to the war:

- The Humans contributed around 7 weapons, to which most of them were of melee attack and defense nature.

- The Elves contributed around 15 weapons, most of which were of supportive or magical nature.

- The Dwarfs contributed around 4 weapons, most of which were of ranged attack and also defense nature.

Each and everyone feared what was going to come next. No one had any idea what the Devils and Demons had planned. Following the written documents days before the war, it’s even said that the mortals had no knowledge if the Gods even knew what was going to happen.

So the Gods sat together and talked.

How exactly the following conclusion came to be is still questionable. There are no written documents to this, but the conclusion was to infiltrate the Dark before they could open a portal themselves.

The plan was to bathe The Dark with the power of Light, making it disappear.

Many Angels feared that this would bring disbalance to their world, but they could not fight against their Makers and Rulers. So they complied and the War started exactly seven days after.

There are no details about the War itself. No documentation, no survivors who could tell about it. The ones that have survived seemed to not remember.

The only thing that happened to our knowledge, is that there were no Gods… nor Devils. Only Angels and Demons were left.

Uraya as they knew it was gone.

The only continent on the planet was broken into two. All cities were destroyed, so many people died.

The world seemed so full of Magic though. Even too full of Magic. It was lingering in the air, in everything - so potent and powerful.

And a New World was born, with it a new Realm: The Neutral.

All the Angels and Demons that were left after it kept quiet and decided for a truce. The Angels decided to investigate The Neutral and help rebuild the new World that was born from the ashes of the failed, old one.

Following legends, which are not confirmed, it is said that the well known Lullaby of Woe was sung by the Angels weeping over the lost World of Uraya and their frustration towards their now gone Makers.

The Demons - now also left without their Makers and Rulers - did not know what to do with themselves from now on. So they went back to their Realm, only coming back decades after.

The Birth of Suvis
After rebuilding what was broken and even improving the New World, the souls that were left noticed a huge change in them.

Magic still lingering in the air was able to flow inside the environment, making it more vibrant and some animals even started to gain intelligence.

Though the Ether and Mana in the air did not only bring intelligence to animals, it also sparked something the Gods had feared to gift their mortals back when they had been alive.

The ability to use parts of their Magic.

The Angels concluded and shared with the people, that indeed the powers of the Gods and Devils have spread, which were able to be categorized into the magic types we know of today:

Light Magic being the equivalent of the magic and Ether that exists in the realm of The Light. Mortals were still not able to use this power though, since it was directly linked with the realm itself. They are able to lend it as before - though by praying to The Light, not to the Gods anymore.

Dark Magic was also still bound to the creatures of The Dark, since that magic and it’s corrupted Mana are also bound to it’s realm. Only demons or mixes of demonic blood may be able to use it.

Blood Magic is the magic of the body. The Gods used it to create the mortals. The Devils used it to control them. The Angels also explained that this Magic is difficult to use - not only for the difficulty of controlling it, but to use it for only good purposes.

Nature Magic is the magic of healing and nurture. The Gods used this to give life and growth to the mortal realm. It is a pure and kind hearted magic, which allows to heal and mend people. It also allows to see people’s true nature by showing their aura.

Elemental Magic is the magic the Gods used to create the planet and everything on Uraya except life itself. Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning and Air are the main elements, but the Elemental Magics also include Sub-Categories to these Elements.

Those animals that gained intelligence have quickly evolved into the Animal-Kins we know of today in just about 300 years.

Through crossbreeding with Humans, they also have created the new race of the Half-Breeds we know of today.

After seeing the shift and the way the New World started to rebuild after 300 years, the Angels started to decide to let this World move on.

Together with the people that have been left, they have decided to rename the world, give it a complete new start.

And they decided on Suvis, which means in their old tongue “New Hope” or “New Start”.

And with this new start, this new born world, they decided to set this date as the first in the calendar.
