History of NS

What we know now...


There were never humans. The only life we know of are the earth we thunder upon, the ocean we run to, and the creatures we share our land with. The only terrain we have ever comprehended is known as Byd. It is a mass surrounded by the depths of the seas. It supports greenery, floral, grass grazers and meat eaters. It throws storms at us, but shelters us from the unknown. We call it home, even though it is as wild as the ones who created it.


...is all because of them.


They were two brothers, Tide and Oak. They held within them massive power, an energy that is a mystery to us. We do not know why they chose to do what they did. We do not know their reasoning or desires. We only know that from them, came us. That is the sole explanation for our worship of the two siblings, our gods. The relationship between them was full of respect, even though they had two different mindsets. Tide held a love of the ocean, and Oak a fervor for the land. They created us, modeled after their ideologies. Tide created those of us who are now titled "Aqua." They are more light-weight, often with scales and horns adorning our figures. They are able to breathe underwater for longer periods of time, and to run far more swiftly than your average equine. Oak, on the other hand, created the "Terra." Their muscles are full of strength, and they are often seen with wings and jewelry hanging about their bodies. They are able to withstand high altitudes and extreme temperatures.


They gave us free reign...


After the two breeds were created, Tide and Oak left us. We do not know the reason behind our creation. There are those of us who worship them avidly, and those of us who seek to know the why behind our existence. With all these questions, with all our personalities, and with the differences between us, Aqua and Terra started to clash, something we all know our gods would not have wanted from us. But it is in our nature. We fought, and we bred. We created the interbreed that is known as Rifted. And as time passed, and the gods seemed more and more distant from us, we created a divide between the three breeds that cannot be beaten. Byd is now split into three territories. Each herd has its own wars to wager. No matter how much we try, we still fight, we still die, we still win and lose. We are a disgrace to the gods we love.

But it is in our nature.


...and we changed everything.
