The Material Plane of Grathos
The prosaic universe and the home of mortal life. Innumerable galaxies play host to countless stars and their planets including, Quetzel’s Gate, the origin of the Arms of Rugia, of which the Rata system resides. Which then hosts the World of Grathos and its parallel alternate worlds. Yet for all the profound wonder and diversity of life that the Mythos, in the dark places between the stars, known as the Etherial Void, lurk the inimical entities, the Void-walkers.
The Mythos serves as the destination for pre-incarnate souls, each mortal life born, living, and dying before sending its spirit towards Agnoss for judgement and everlasting residence among the Etherial planes. the Mythos is likewise the focus of the descendants of Vaal, each of whom is invested in fostering their own particular portfolio among mortal worshippers and the Mythos at large. Residing here as well is the Maelstrom of Creation. Elements of the Mythos acting as tools for Vaal’s continued creation of the cosmos, residing at the edge of space and time, building the Mythos as it expands, like a blaze spreads from within and spreading out. It is believed that those are able to warp time and space with arcenergy are able to command beings with the life energy of creation to become elemental conduits of this Maelstrom, turning them into Maelstrom-born.
“The material plane of the universe, Grathos, is a plane of existence containing the creation of mountains, seas, deserts, valleys, plains, etc. It is the plane meant for the inhabitation of the gods and of humans alike to live in one accord and in immortality and peace with one another with the power of the combined ether and the arcenergy binding it together. However, this was not so and since the Fall, Grathos has been the same plane except devoid of the life-giving riches of arcenergy and the unity of the ether planes. This caused many of the life on this plane to become limited and mortal. It is also said that due to the curse of the all-father it is impossible for one to wield the energy of all elements of the ether without immortality. Therefore, living in the material plane required survival instincts and faith in, and favor from the gods. Those of the particular beliefs that is. However, the greatest of all that grants immortality and favor among all the gods is faith in the one true God, the All-Father. The One who created all life and death, the past, the present and the future, and made both the heavens (The outer planes, the void, and the elemental planes) and the ether (Feithos, Grathos, and Umbrathos). However, few on Grathos ever recognize the power of the All-Father since the perspectives of his creations only see the small pictures instead of the biggest picture of all. The absolute favor of the All-Father takes perfect neutrality, and willingness to obey his very vast teachings. The All-Father accepts all despite their standings, however to what he rewards is effort and compassion to seek him and only him in the afterlife. Since little is known about his true name, over the ages humans have known him as Vaal Vatti, The creator of all and the benevolent one for all. “
