    The Creation of Lateras
    Celestial / Cosmic

    In the mythic annals of Lateras, the world of countless nations, there exists a tale of the world's creation, a story passed down through generations. It is said that in the primordial void, where chaos reigned, the gods of the realms gathered. Among them, Chauntea, the goddess of nature and life, and Aslan, the god of justice and peace, played pivotal roles. As the gods gazed upon the formless void, they saw the potential for creation. Chauntea, with her boundless love for the natural world, envisioned a realm of diverse landscapes, teeming with life. Aslan, the guardian of harmony, yearned for a world where justice and peace would be upheld.   In their divine union, they hatched a plan to bring this world into being. Aslan, with his mighty strength, shattered a chunk of Lateras from the primordial mass, lifting it high into the sky. This landmass, suspended among the stars, would become the foundation for the nations of Lateras. Chauntea, with her nurturing touch, covered Lateras with fertile soil and vibrant vegetation.   As the gods worked in tandem, the land flourished. Mountains rose, rivers flowed, forests thrived, and diverse creatures found their home. Each corner of Lateras bore the mark of their collaboration, a testament to the gods' shared vision.   And so, Lateras, with its varied landscapes and vibrant ecosystems, became a world of nations, each with its unique culture and purpose. Chauntea's gift of life and Aslan's gift of justice continued to shape the destiny of this world, where the nations of Silva Vitae, Fertilis, Porth Badd, Paradyse, Drak Hou, Arctig, Aspen, Dafin, the Principalities, and the Fuerum Archipelago would rise, united by the diverse tapestry of Lateras, their shared home in the vast cosmos.
