Terra

Terra was a dark world, a simple planetoid drifting in the vastness of space, a presumed dead planet. Until the Ark arrived that is. Like a seed, drifting aimlessly through space, the Ark plants itself onto Terra and breathes new life to the planet. It wouldn't be for a few millennia that the impact of the Ark would make Terra find a new solar system as its home.   Life began to spring forth as light was brought to the world and a burst of evolution changed the planet thanks to the Ark's main source of power: Mana. The first being that was birthed by the Ark was a celestial being who was later named Aetheria by the races she had created, appointing every single head of the races to form a concordant later named The Council. Before Aetheria ascended to godhood The Council asked the Aetherian who would protect them and this new world they governed. With that she has created Guardians: Powerful beings who had vast amounts of mana and the skill to wield it, blessed by Aetheria herself and chosen by the Ark.   At the first creation of apex beings with cognitive thought, the world saw peace. With their ever-growing knowledge, they cultivated the land and grew with it. Lush forest lands and prairies thrived in the rich soil, mountains grew and clawed at the ever blue sky, a thriving sea surrounds all the planet and creates the beautiful coastlines. Of course, not everywhere is full of life. Rolling deserts and dunes also populate some of the hottest places in the world and the sea naturally froze at both caps of the world with frigid winds and shocking cold.   There are dangers in this world as any other world but a darker secret lies deep beneath Terra's surface. An ancient evil that has resided in the darkness way before the Ark has arrived and now rears its head, awoken by the presence of life and light. Seeds of corruption slowly and steadily creep out of the ground as it affects the wildlife around it, twisting and turning regular living organisms into twisted perverse images of darkness. What is the source of it all? It almost seems like something came here first and made the planet its home. Now.... it's angry.
