The History of Isekai

Soon after the Pantheons of Isekai first found the world, they chose to create children to be the keepers of wisdom. First would come the Ancient Fey, brought forth by the goddess Lycana, children of nature that would call every inch of Isekai their home. Next came the Djinn, children of Olik, made to understand all things from the depths of the world to the heavens and any other realm that their paths may cross. Then came the Sphinxes, children of Sotark and Ivala, keepers of all wisdom and understanding. Finally the Metallic Dragons were created by Kallex in his image to be the protectors of this world and the destroyers of evil. Each of the Divine Races were created as keepers and protectors, their near-immortality marking them as nearly gods.

As the Divine Races became settled in their roles, some decided to bring forth their own children to populate the land. The Giants were the first, descendants of the Ancient Fey, but far larger and greedier than their ancestors. These large people roamed where they pleased, seeking power and stature in any way necessary.

Millennia after the first child of the Pantheons of Isekai entered the world, some of the gods wished for more children, ones that would be mortal and live short lives compared to the Divine Races. These children would spread across the world, questing for magic and knowledge with their insatiable curiosity. First came the Elves, children of Lycana like the Ancient Fey before them, born from nature and serving the goddess as stewards. Next can the Humans, short-lived lives created by Dern with reaching potentials and unending curiousity. Last were the Dwarves, born from the forge of Crommel to be stout and hardworking, not nearly as soft as the other Elder Races. The creation of the Elder Races marked the beginning of mortal races, the Descendants of Dragons, the Animal Kingdom, and all other reasonable races that populated the world of Isekai.

After the creation of the Elder Races, other races appeared across Isekai. Some of the first were the Descendants of Dragons, people who were born from Dragons and others, whether the Elder Races or an unknown species. These children, Dragonkin, were often weaker than their Draconic heritage and walked on two legs, but resembled their ancestors in terms of traits. Those born of Dragons and unknown species were considered mere myths, named the Dragonkith.

The Pantheons of Isekai had been a large part of the world for millennia, giving aid and their guidance. It is unknown why, but the gods suddenly withdrew from the world, watching Isekai and its peoples from afar. Many believe that a disagreement between the gods caused this withdrawal, while others believe that the lack of the gods' presence is punishment for some great slight against the gods.

A Warlock who longed for power reached too far into the dark magics of the world, allowing Eldritch beings to enter the planes of Isekai to wreak havoc. For 100 years, the peoples of Isekai battled these creatures, eventually sealing them away, but not before great destruction was inflicted upon the world. Entire races were lost, once verdant and fertile places were turned into Deadzones, and the monsters of the world became more adventurous.
