Introduction

"And, as the Ground emerged from the dark sea of Void, He called his glorious seven brethrens of old to once more aid him. Then, forth came The Argent Spiritus, holding high their pennants. And last but far from least came the Mortal Elves, fated to be the Heirs of What was created, alongside men and mortalkin to come "Reunited we are, in circle we stand as what emerges slowly settles," the voice of The Spark resonated: a distant whisper of an echo of untainted glory and of futures to come. Silence reigned within the loyal Spiritus, the Glorious Seven and the mortal elves: they were waiting for His voice to continue, and it did "As we Spirits of Origins emerged from the Infinite Plains of Mana, conflicts rose as we could not understand our elves....but..." He lifted his heavy and great arms, opening wide as if he wanted to embrace the Grounds "When we stood united, such Wonder emerged: existence! Such masterpiece, delayed only by futile warrings!" The Spark resonated, his mere voice inspired the Mortal Elves to look gaze upon He Who Created. The Spark lowered his arms "An Alliance must be bestowed among Me, My Brethren of Old, the Loyal Spiritus and The Mortal Elves: an inviolable pact of blood, one of everlasting fealty and loyalty" as He pronounced words, He lowered a black calyx that reflected the young light of Stars. On its walls, Seven diamonds were rallied along two lines of rubies.

Then, He who created spilled a drop of his blood in the cup: an azure liquid, shrouded by argent vapour touched the black depth of the calyx, followed by the silver blood of Spiritus and the crimson blood of Mortal Elves, whose doom awaits. "By the blood of the Original, by the blood of the Spiritus, by the Blood of Mortals I seal the Alliance between them: may no one threathen their peace!" The Spark rose the calyx, shouting the words: a blinding white light shone from the calyx, a light that hid stars and suns...from the skies, strong gales poured forth, snapping grass, bending trees and rising leaves. The Elves cowered, as the Spiritus rallied in tighter lines. As chaos subsides, the Fateweavers were born." -- from 'The Tale of Tales'







ImageEarth.21st June, 2014:
Modern life is fast, as fast as a breeze: few seconds ago it was morning...now here you are, dining either alone with relatives or friends.
It is almost funny: seven years passed since the Second Leviathan Wars, a brutal war to safeguard Earth from the threat known too well by Spiritus: the Leviathans, beings whose hunger is eternal and seeks to have endless quantity of food.
Despite not being exactly "on Earth", the war decided the very survival of mankind... and yet, men do not recognize their saviours nor ever saw them, for Spiritus allows little interactions between Men and Fae-creatures and since men prooved to be too corrupted and arrogant for any kin to dwell by their side.
The War was so violent that it lasted for ten years and, for the first time, the Celestial Spiritus required the help of Elves, few yet skilled Men and even of the Phoenixes. Even so, several worlds fell before the horde of Serpents...
In the end the Serpent God, Leviathan-lord, was banished and imprisoned in his Slayer: the legendary Daylen Rigwal, whose world sunk in the blink of an eye as the Leviathans appeared.

Most of those who protected Earth against the immense threat now rest in a world, parallel yet different to ours...a world of magic, whose dwellers live in Legends and Fairy Tales of old: they dwell in Spectraverse.

ImageSpectraverse is the domain of fae, a home for those who are considered 'beyond natural' by men. It is a pocket-dimension of incredible size built by Spiritus of the Architect chaste in ages forgotten as an attempt to protect fae creatures from the arrogance of men.
A marvel of magic, something that surpasses the knowledge of men and elves, for the very nature of Spiritus was poured in the creation of such wonder.
Four continents form the Spectraverse: Argentam, The Silver Haven of Elves and Spiritus lies where the Sun falls, Valados of untamed wilderness in the East, the Refuge of Divine and the Domains of Skroth facing eachother separated by oceans undivided. While the first is in the south, where sun shines restless, the second is in the Dark North, doomed to never be touched by sunlight.

In Argentam lies the domain of Pure Elves, the Silver League: an alliance of Elven-Citadels, probably the most influent in Spectraverse.
Southwards, the Peaks of Spiritus rises against the crystal Seas of Gold. As the name suggests, Spiritus dwells the mountain chains and many Spiritus facilities are built in rocky and cold ravines.

There is a bridge that links the two continents: it arcs over the strait that separates the two mainlands and the water that furiously clashes against the rocky cliffs.
It is the Lepontus, a bridge built by Pure Elves and Spiritus years ago, to render travels faster and safer: many dangers lurk the deep yet charming seas, perils that better not be tested.

Valados is home to many wild beings, from silent predators that lurks the night and ambush the weak to meek creatures that wander alone the vast and untamed plains of Valados. Yet, a glitter of verve still shake the wild Valados: it is the Glade of Benadus of the Sprite, pacific beings that wage feasts and parties most of the year. Further East, through thick and dark woods stands the Chain of Clans, inhabited by majestic dragons, rulers of skies alongside phoenixes.

There is nothing to tell about the North: it is frozen, and no life prospers there for The lord of Eternal Winter dwells there, his rule unquestioned.For a period of time, he casts his dark shroud over Spectraverse, bringing autumn and winter.
To counter the cruelty of Skroth, stands the Refuge of Divine in the South: its coasts are of gold and the pinnacles of the Refuge shall call forth the Phoenix Force to counter the tyranny of Skroth: the song of all birds made manifest, to bestow Spring and Summer upon Spectraverse.
For a millennia, Spectraverse stood as land of peace, despite the Second Leviathan Wars...but, with the upcoming events, will it be the same?

The Universe is changing...in truth, it has always been shifting the very day the Alliance between Mortals and Original was forged:
when the Lychendera, the Fateweavers, emerged, the light of the three stones shone brightly the light of timeless ages and music
of stories yet to born.

The Universe, however, is not changing because of the unfazed light of the Fateweavers: something stirs in the shadows of the Spatial Void, something the old
Creation forgot its touch...right now, in this very moment they are sought by the Celestial Guardians Spiritus that seeks to find any truth in the whispers
of rumors: the return of The Pale Ones, Aurugo, beings of benevolence that disappeared aeons ago when Men were young and elves wandering the vast universe.
Yet, most would think their return as a blessing...but not for the Celestial Spiritus, for when beings of great good emerge it can mean only dark times ahead.

While Spiritus scour the known universe, little did they know that Aurugo are here, in Earth, dwelling among Men. To four Men they revealed themselves,
recently dwelling by their side and aiding them with their long-forgotten power.
Spiritus require their aid, for a new danger stirs in dark lounging for a war of catastrophic scale...
