Rise of the Dragon
The world of Morpheus, plagued with constant war, rests in the galaxy of Ursa Sirius. Originally being created by the god Data , It was the war between her and her sibling Ventura who added depth to the world. Constantly at war, the land holds no balance. The galaxy itself holds 52 known planets, spread out much like our own milky way. Morpheus, however, is the largest, centering itself in the middle of all it's smaller siblings. It's closest planet is Sunarium, Otherwise known as the sun, this planet orbits Morpheus to heat and aid in it's time and growth. Also controlled by two moons, one of a light blue, said to be Data. Only the non-magic users, the Caouls, can see this moon circle clock-wise around the world. The other moon, of a light shade of purple, is said to be Ventura. Only Magic users, the Maoris, can see this moon. There is a legend, that says if you see both, the gods are fighting over you. Many see this as a blessing, and in older times, if you claimed you saw both moons, then you would be worshiped between both races as some form of 'child of god'. The calender and seasons of Morpheus are the same to that of our world. There are 3 main versions of the world. These are Morpheus, Morpheus-Faeros, the heaven and light side of with world, and Morpheus-Shardun, the hell and darker side of the world. Both these versions are on different dimensions to the head earth and can be accessed by many races, including the gods. Still in constant war, the people of Morpheus fight the battle of the gods in a great and constant war, only in those safe-havens can both Caouls and Maoris co-exist peacefully. The first home or area to be known as a safe haven to all was Faewood Castle.
History of Morpheus - Legend of the Great War[]
| The world holds two main Gods. Originally Ursa Sirius created a single moon to orbit the multiple planets of the galaxy as a protector. The blue shades of Ursa is the aura that would spiral and protect, while the purple would attack and destroy. The moon was half and half of each shade. Ursa Sirius is said to be its own entity, some believe she is the mother and the god of the gods, others just believe she is only the galaxy. She is, by lore, and canonically female, however. Being one moon, the negative and positive energy fought, both holding an almost human personality. Soon, the negative started cracking, originally aiming to be split 50/50 down the middle of the moon. But due to the immense power and the ability to destroy, shattered and broke away. Rendered useless in many pieces, Ventura's entity became dormant for a long time. Data then took over. As a creator, she found it easy to create Jique. The god of Matter. Together the pair fixed her moon. In doing so, Data was able to team up with her child, and the creation of 6 other gods, Light, Life, Earth, Skye, Ocean and Fire. They took the many planets in Ursa into their hands. In doing so, they created life and structure upon many; Morpheus, being in the center and the largest planet, was the most sought after.
When Data had her head start, Ventura was taking the time to plan his attack, blaming her for his shattering half. He soon created his first God, Enzi. Enzi is the god of anti-matter. Destroying and ripping apart some nearby planets Ventura fused with the remains to build himself up, increasing his power to, as well, create his first 6 gods, Darkness, Death, Seer, Time, Elemental magic, Space. He thought by adding a less natural approach to his creations, he would make them more powerful. It was then he was able to start attacking the earths that Data had put so much effort into creating. However Ventura gave the earth the darkness it needed to create balance. Data did not see it this way, fighting back in defense. Races of human and super human, against races of magic users fought upon the many worlds. Many planets were destroyed by the plague of darkness that spread across the living. Even now, the lasting worlds, like Morpheus fight. Killing each other over religion and the gods. Human vs Magic. To read up more on The Gods of Morpheus, Please follow here. |
