History of the Wylds

Out of timeless nothingness rose dark and indistinct mists, foreshadowing of what was to come, an idea of existence, guided by a will we dare name Ao, the Hidden One. With Time, the mists began to change. Out of the idea, form came to be. Into a primeval expanse, secluded from the rest of the multiverse, twin spirits were born: The sisters who-were-one, one of them of cool brightness, one of them of soothing darkness. And they existed in perfect and static harmony for eons.

Then, there was a pull. And a push. The sisters’ harmony began to flow. There was was rise, and there was fall. There was up, and there was down. There was ground, and there was above… And in between the flow, new form was created. The sisters noticed the change. The bright one, Selûne, was curious about the things that they had created, while the dark one, Shar, was bothered by the sudden flow of existence. But still, form was hollow, with no idea of itself. Selûne touched a form with her brightness, while Shar withdrew from it. Conscience was sparked in the form, and spread throughout its entire being. Thus, the World was born, but it was still incomplete and only ideas pressed into form. It cried out, and Selûne nurtured it with light, while Shar watched it warily from a distance.

The new world begged for warmth so that she could nurture life and living creatures, and the two sisters became divided, as for the first time they were of two minds. Silvery Selûne contested with her dark sister over whether or not to bring further life to the worlds.   A battle ensued during which Selûne seized the advantage and reached across time and space to the inner core of creation, a roiling chaos of unformed elemental stuff. She grabbed a part of the chaos, which burned and eroded her divine essence. She took a fiery fragment of flame from the chaos, and set it into space as a sun, that bathed the World in warmth and comfort, and life awakened in the World.   Incensed, Shar redoubled her attack on her injured twin and began to snuff out all light and heat in order to swallow it in darkness, returning the world to a state of nonlife. Again Selûne gave of herself and tore the divine essence of hope, belief and potential from her body, flinging it desperately at her sister, thus creating the plane now known as Nyx. To this day it is Nyx that shields the Wylds and all life upon it from the dark powers of Shar (also known as the Dreaming Dark) hiding in the Astral Sea.

With Nyx defending the newly created world from against Shar, Selûne thrust herself into the heart of the plane, breaking the world and creating the ley lines, as she herself shattered into countless pieces. These divine sparks were flung throughout the Wylds were they infused a rare few of its creatures with immense power. Those who were gifted a divine spark in this way are who we now call the Fey Lords. 
Consumed by bitterness at her defeat, Shar vowed eternal revenge at the world that her sister choose over herself. Shar remains powerful, but bitterly alone, hiding in the Astral Sea, while the name Selûne has been forgotten by most mortals
