Aernoch
The world as it is known. Blue skies embrace various terrains under a single sun and two moons. Six primary land masses reside on its surface, separated by vast & violent oceans, while another world all to its own lurks beneath its surface.
In recognizing the circumstantial position of the remaining children, Aero elevated the higher beings, or first creations of Shae & Lyss, as equals to their creators, named them all the Ancestral Gods of the Material, and allowed them to home in any plane they aligned in The Realms Beyond the Central Realm. The lower beings remained to inhabit either of the three planes within the Central Realm. Once moved, Aero then formed The Great Divide between the Central Realm and the Realms Beyond to ensure the safety of its creation. The seperation of the planes within the Central Realm and the seperation caused by The Great Divide was called The Splintering.
In this division of the gods from the Material Plane, Aero made it impossible for them to exist within it for a prolonged period of time. In doing so, the Fabric would drain their power over time and make them mortal. Thus, the Ancestral Gods of the Material typically only experience things on the face of Aernoch and within the Everday & Evernight vicariously through their lower being children.
Myth of Creation
In the beginning, the inner plane was Aero. Formless, yet benevolent, Aero began to organize the elemental chaos of its thought. Aero formed the thought of darkness and named it Lyss. For balance, Aero formed the thought of light and named it Shae. The two thoughts clashed, each trying to overcome the other, existing simultaneously. Aero struck the infused mingling, splitting them. This caused material pieces of Aero to be shattered and scattered as a plane, forming stars and worlds. The peal brought consciousness to the two thoughts of light and dark. The two consciousnesses would forever share this creation of the Material Plane. In their parting, Shae and Lyss birthed a third entity between them. The same tendrils that had connected them took form from the exposed Fabric of Aero. These threads between light, dark, and the material was revealed as Sytys. As a part of the Fabric of Aero, Sytys was forever tied to the magic of the universe. They looked upon a piece of the shattered and called it Aernoch, meaning “a piece of Aero.” Within and without, there was beauty. On its face, they shaped life that sprang between the edges of Aero and themselves. Shae’s children proved greater and formed consciousness. Lyss in jealousy, reached between the planes, outside of Aero’s thought, and birthed primordial creatures. She pulled them to Aernoch’s surface. These primordials brought destruction to the face of Aernoch. To protect the children, Shae likewise reached beyond the edges of Aero to connect her children to Sytys. While neutral, Sytys recognized Shae’s need and allowed this connection. This joining to the Fabric of Aero gave means for the children of Shae to combat the primordials. A great war commenced between the creations of Shae & Lyss. Aero descended to end the conflict. The primordials were defeated—either killed or imprisoned throughout the cosmos.From whence Shae & Lyss reached beyond Aero, two echo realms were seperated from the Material Plane. This became the Central Realm in its totality: The Material Plane, Shae’s Everday, and Lyss’s Evernight. Aero saw the distress caused by Shae, Lyss, and their creations. To conserve the Material Plane, Aero pushed them from it.
