Mythology & Lore
"In the beginning, the world was a cold and dark place.
Unkwnown abominations roamed the multiverse in the time before day.
Then came the King of Days and his spouse, the Queen of Nights.
They shone their lights, and gave order to the chaos."
"Every morning the King of Days rises from his throne to fight the Ancient Dark.
Every evening, when the darkness becomes stronger, the beloved Queen of Nights calls her court to watch over the lives of mortals."
"It was forseen that one of the gods will fall to the Darkness, and kill its King.
In its constellation will shine the red star of betrayal, the last light the world will see.
Thus the King of Days and his Court of Stars shall never meet.
Thus the Queen of Nights is ever vigilant."
