History of The Isles of Estra

A group of gods traveling the multiverse found an area of power and wanted to use it.

The gods of Estra wanted to creat a world to play with but to do this they needed to control the elemental power of the world. For years they could not figure out how to do this until the Creator showed up and shaped the elemental energy into laylines.

With the consolidation of the power into laylines other interplaner beings took notice of the world and not all of them for upstanding reasons. Many wished to take the power of the world for their own or destroy it. But the gods faught back until the last straw. Their power was begining to wain when hope for them arrived.

With hope running low for the gods, one god had an idea. To use the power of the world to form a sheild to protect the world extraplaner beings. They did this blocking the world from those who wish to do harm but also those who wish to do good. There was a nessassary weakness though. The power of the world must be connected to the multiverse so there are areas of the sheild that power can flow through. But now the world was blocked off from interplaner beings that tried to enter through interplaner space without the magic of the world allowing them entrance.

When the creation of plants worked wonders many gods wanted to creat intellegent life but the others did not. This lead to them fighting for years. The battle was evenly matched until those who did not want inteligent life slipped up. With their mistake the gods who wanted intelegent people were able to creat a place for the others and trapped them there, they called it hell. This created a split in the gods, the gods of life and the gods of hell.

Over time the gods tied themselves the magic of the world and that can creat choas. The world did not like supporting the amount of life in the world. So when the people of the world did not whorship or know about gods they would lose their power and then suddenly disapear into the unknown. This scared the gods who did not creat a people of their own as they could suddenly die. They had to do something to protect themselves.

The gods of hell dispised what was happening in Estra and decided to fight back. But they could not leave their confindment. They found a solution though. Every so often they could lightly touch Estra. They used this to creat monsters that lurked in the dark, ready to destroy the inteligent races. The gods waited and when the time came they attacked. Their monsters went out to kill and maim and the gods of life lead the inteligent races in battel. This caused massive destruction to the land, whole cities would cease to be and the world was covered in death.

The gods gifted the inteligent races with a touch of the gods' own power. They allowed the mortals, as they were now called, to touch the laylines and shape that power in ways that they wanted. Not everyone could do it but enough could that the mortals were now able to beat back the monsters of evil and re-make the world. This created a new era of discovery and exploration beyond what the gods could have even imagined.
