Sapient origins
The Arrival
In the vast expanse of the universe, the star Alphe-01 shines as a beacon of life. Around it orbits the fifth planet, Delfa, a world of mysteries and ancient tales. Some 8,200 years ago, three alien races found themselves inexplicably drawn to this vibrant planet by a force they called Liasas. The origins of Liasas are shrouded in enigma, but it is believed to have been the salvation for these races after their home worlds were destroyed in a cataclysmic intergalactic war. These races—each with their own unique cultures, technologies, and histories—sought refuge on Delfa. The remnants of their advanced technologies now lie scattered and decayed, their full functionalities lost to time. The clash of these technologies with the planet's indigenous magic and mystical creatures led to a period of great strife and confusion.The Great Wars
The early years on Delfa were marked by fierce conflicts as the new inhabitants vied for control over the planet's resources and most hospitable lands. The western islands, blessed with favorable weather and fertile soils, became the focal point of these struggles. War upon war was waged, each race seeking dominance in a land that none truly understood. Eventually, after countless battles and immense loss, a tenuous peace was established. Bound by necessity and the weariness of war, the races agreed to divide the land and share its bounties. However, this peace was fragile, underscored by deep-seated mistrust and the lingering scars of past conflicts.The Western Islands
Today, the western islands are the heart of Delfa's civilization. Here, the climate is mild, and the land is bountiful. Cities have risen, blending the remnants of ancient alien technologies with the natural magic of Delfa. Life here is relatively stable, and the various races have learned to coexist, if not entirely harmoniously. However, the shadow of the past is never far away. The inhabitants remember the wars and the suffering, and old grudges simmer beneath the surface. Diplomatic relations are maintained, but always with a sense of caution and skepticism.The Mainland and the Imacas
Beyond the western islands lies the mainland, a land of wild beauty and hidden dangers. Here dwell the Imacas, aggressive and formidable beings native to Delfa. The Imacas have always been a force to be reckoned with, their fierce territorial instincts clashing with the encroaching settlers. In recent times, tensions with the Imacas have escalated. Skirmishes and conflicts have become more frequent, leading to speculation and fear among the island inhabitants. Some believe that the Imacas are reacting to an unseen threat, while others suspect that a new power may be stirring within Delfa itself. This all is written down in The Book of Liasas: The Beginning which is the main beleve under most inhabitants.
