During a time before the Harvester of Souls, Wyvaria had created 4 kingdoms of the sky. In each kingdom lived different races of humans, angels, sprites, and many others.

Above the southern sea floated the Kingdom of Shakar, it's buildings were coastal like and a race of angels inhabited it's astral streets. In the kingdom, altars to the air had been erected but cause of their connection to the sea as well, they created altars to Zaroth. The Harak angels were not only beings of air but water as well and would not forsake either of the high powers.

Above the hills of the east floated the Kingdom of Tadja, it's barbaric life force of humans covered it with savage rituals. Upon the hills they created temples of worship to the Goddess and her brother Kaine. The humans of these hills were ancestors of the Kurgens and they too had once worshiped Kaine as the Destroyer.

Above the valleys of the west floated the Kingdom of Ganbai, the vines of a forest below anchored and shaped it's creation. A large amount of sprites and elves payed homage to the Goddess of the Air and God of the Earth. The Cinthra sprites and forest elves lived on both land and sky, bringing worship to each provider.

The northern mountainous Kingdom of Karsoun was last to be created and upon the snow caps of Mount Pagdra is where it resided. Up in the rigid rocks, the winged race of snow elves took residency and gave worship only to their Goddess. The Vorsah elves were very rigorous in their beliefs of Wyvaria and revered the 8 Aeros or the 8 Ways of the Winds. Between each kingdom there was trade and prosperous friendships but the Vorsah were unforgiving to those who did not worship the Goddess and would mostly stay up on their mountain.

When the first races of life had came to be, Wyvaria gave them the gift of breath and even gave some the gift of flight. When she gave these gifts she created the 8 directions and with all of her power split herself into 8 beings for each direction and they became know as the 8 Aeros. Every Aero was only a being of flickering air but each ,besides the first, carried a weapon. Because of their astral properties, the Aeros had to take a willing host to preserve the Goddess’s power.

When the time of the Death God came, almost all the Aeros were decimated in the battle between the Elemental Gods and the Death God. As a last hope of faith, the human male that took upon an Aero sacrificed his body to allow to Goddess to transfer back to her realm and sleep. Because her powers had extremely weakened, the 4 kingdoms of the sky fell to the earth, their ruins never to return to the sky. Below the vast ocean, the ruins of the Shakar kingdom laid for Zaroth. In the valleys, the ruins of the Ganbai kingdom molded into the realm of Wyldeheart. Upon the hills, the ruins of the Tadja kingdom created an inferno for Kaine. After the Death God’s harvest ended, only two hosts of the Aeros remained, the powers bestowed upon them gone with Goddess of Air and only few remnants of each kingdoms’ races still continued onward.


Wyvaria woke again as her influence grew slightly. She sighed as she remembered her failure to keep by Kaine’s side. Below upon the mountains, tribes had create shrines in her image and she could not help from smiling at their worship.

In a cave on the side of Mount Pagdra lived a small tribe of Vorsah, their faith and worship having been renewed at the sighting of the sprites. They constructed the largest shrine out of the other tribes of the mountain to the Goddess and began their vigorous religious practices. In the tribe a young boy by the name of Insha ventured down the slopes of the snowy mountain, beginning his test of manhood and acceptance into the Vorsah tribe. In the freezing blizzard, Insha pushed through until he found his ventured target. On the branch of a dead tree in the middle of a small clearing, a bird perched. The bird was small but it seem unafraid of the blizzard it was currently in. The bird was a light color of brown and looked similar to a barn owl except for a slight orange tint to the eyes. With a flick of his wrist, Insha brought out a small dagger and with a forgiving prayer to Wyvaria he descended upon the peculiar bird. When he was nearly 3 feet away from the bird, it suddenly turned it’s head and stared straight into the young boy eyes. Insha was shocked and stopped where he was. The bird then flapped it’s wings and suddenly burst into a torrent of wind. Insha looked upon the location where the bird was and was in awe and fear. On top of the branch sat a figure of pure air, it’s shape taking that of Insha himself. Then it spoke, “You look very young yet I feel great loyalty may come from you, tell me my son, what is your name?” The being flickered before the boy, it’s face showing a smile. Insha hesitated, “M-my name is Insha, my lady.” The figure giggled which cause the boy to flinch a bit. “You know of me my child?” The small bird returned and perched itself on Insha’s shoulder. Insha was slightly shocked but had pet the bird non the less who pushed into his touch. “Yes great mother I’ve been given teachings on our ancestors and of you.” Insha looked upon his doppelganger’s face with a smile upon his. “I am truly blessed if the mother of our race has shone herself to me.” The figure looked at the bird and grinned at the young boy. “His name is Raija and he is a companion for you and if you worship me with loyalty I will give you more gifts as well as gifts for your tribe. Will you worship your mother?” Insha bowed his head and smile. “My life is yours always, my lady.”
