🌄 1351 BCE — The Cataclysm
Aarak was once a world of crystalline skies and verdant expanses—a realm where harmony thrived under the glow of a solitary, nurturing sun and the watchful dance of three sacred moons. Its people, the Aaraks, knew no sorcery nor arcane chants. Instead, their gifts were of the mind: telepathy that stitched communities together in wordless conversation, telekinesis that shaped stone and bent metal with thought alone. Their cities hummed with psionic resonance—a symphony of unspoken connection.

This tranquil brilliance ended in desperation. A dying alien race, drifting between stars, found Aarak’s sun and greedily siphoned its essence to sustain their waning world. Their theft unleashed a stellar wrath: violent solar flares rippled outward, rending Aarak’s crust, toppling forests into molten fissures, and flinging entire continents skyward. Broken fragments rose in defiance of gravity, suspended by the psionic will of the Aaraks who clung desperately to survival amid a shattered firmament.

🌟 Arrival of the Aramaics
In the final weeks before collapse, three wanderers stumbled through a tear in reality—nomadic magicians known as the Aramaics, exiles of distant Adamah (Earth). Their arrival was never intended; their portal magic had misfired, delivering them not home, but to a doomed world under alien stars.

Frightened whispers met their sudden presence, for the Aaraks had never known true sorcery—only the quiet dominion of the mind. Yet in this bleak hour, the Aramaics offered a new power: true magic. In exchange for sanctuary, they taught the Aaraks how to weave elemental energies with their innate psionics, binding mind and mana for the first time.

When ruin fell at last, the Aramaics shaped a desperate salvation: The Veil, a vast arcane lattice infused with the raw magic of Earth. This radiant barrier sealed Aarak’s broken pieces, preserving them against the endless hunger of the cosmic Void. But the Veil’s brilliance came at a terrible price—its appetite was insatiable. The moment it ignited, it began to draw from Earth’s boundless wells of mana, threading siphons through ancient leylines, pulling power from Adamah across the chasm of stars.

⚡ The Veil and the Souls of Adamah
What began as a protective shroud soon became a living hunger. To sustain itself—and the drifting isles of Aza’ra now teeming with magic-dependent beings—the Veil grew fangs. It reached beyond Adamah’s stone veins, latching onto the secret wellspring within every sentient soul descended from Earth.

Each birth of an Earth-blooded soul creates a fresh ember of mana—a reservoir that its bearer may wield to conjure flame, see hidden truths, shape luck, and glimpse the thin spaces where life and death bleed into one another. This personal wellspring binds them, unknowingly, to the Veil’s endless feast.

On Earth, those who still slip through the Veil’s grasp are called Rahemlan—the Gifted, the Chosen—those rare souls who channel scraps of untouched magic. They are the whispered witches and prophets, the miracle-workers and vision-seers, remnants of a world slowly bled dry to keep Aza’ra afloat.

✨ The Refugees of Myth
When Earth’s ambient magic began to wane, the first to flee were its oldest keepers—deities who once strode the mortal world draped in mortal prayers. Stripped of worship and fuel, they found refuge beyond the Veil’s edge, passing into Aza’ra where new faith, new mana, and new myths awaited.

Behind them came the beasts of Earth’s collective dreaming: dragons that once scorched ancient skies, merfolk who sang in drowned cities, griffons and phoenixes, leviathans and spirits—all crossing hidden rifts in pursuit of the mana they needed to exist. To Earth’s children, these wonders faded into bedtime stories and campfire tales. They did not know their legends yet live, winged and roaring in the skies of a world reborn.

🕊️ Birth of Aza’ra: A Realm of Mind and Magic
What survived of Aarak was renamed Aza’ra, a word meaning "to help" in the old Aramaic tongue—a promise forged from ruin and woven into every drifting isle. It is now a realm where psionics and true magic twine like silver threads. The Aaraks’ children and the Aramaics’ descendants—known as the Aza’raans—walk side by side with dragons perched on skyborne cliffs, merfolk shepherding rivers that spill from floating forests, and phoenixes whose embers rise like stars.

Over time, the cultures of mind and magic entwined. Aza’ra is not simply a place; it is a living memory of all Earth’s forgotten myths—an ark sailing the Void, moored only by the mana drawn endlessly from a distant, unsuspecting blue world.

🌙 The Sacred Moons of Aza’ra
Aza’ra is illuminated not by a traditional sun, but by three celestial moons—each governing distinct periods of the 21-hour day. These moons hold immense cultural, spiritual, and astronomical significance, shaping daily life, ceremonial rites, and linguistic evolution.

• Duvaen (Morning Moon) — Pronunciation: Doo-vay-en
  Celestial Traits: A crimson-red moon, akin to Mars, casting warm, diffuse light across the land.
  Time Period Governed: Ae (Morning) | Hours 1–7
  Symbolism: Renewal, ambition, vitality. Duvaen’s rise marks the awakening of the world and the pursuit of progress.
• W’iosamn (Midday Moon) — Pronunciation: wuh-ai-ee-sahmn
  Celestial Traits: A pale silver moon, larger and brighter than Earth’s, dominating the sky with a radiant glow.
  Time Period Governed: W’i (Midday) | Hours 8–14
  Symbolism: Clarity, balance, and guidance. Decisions are made, structures are reinforced, and society flourishes.
• Arvalla (Night Moon) — Pronunciation: Ar͡r-vah-lah
  Celestial Traits: A colossal blue-silver moon with tilted rings and perpetual storms, shaping the dynamic cycles of Aza’raan weather.
  Time Period Governed: La (Night) | Hours 15–21
  Symbolism: Mystery, transformation, and introspection. Arvalla rules the night’s arcane energies and subconscious realms.

🕰️ The Living Pulse of Time
In Aza’ra, time is not merely counted—it is felt. The Veil, always drinking deep of Earth’s mana, hums with resonant pulses. These sonic waves ripple through stone and sky, marking hours, minutes, and seconds like the heartbeat of a colossal, unseen god.

To the Aza’raans, each pulse is sacred—a reminder that their world’s heartbeat is paid for by the blood of Adamah. Temples rise where the hums strike strongest, and scholars bend the resonance into magitech and psionic tools that keep the fractured realm alive.

🌌 A Realm Suspended
Thus drifts Aza’ra: a realm of thought and sorcery, its people bound by a promise made in ruin and sustained by a secret sacrifice. Myths long dead on Earth soar alive above skyborne isles. And deep within each soul born of Adamah, a spark of mana still dreams—woven into a Veil that keeps the Void at bay, but never sated.

So long as souls are born, so long as myths are remembered, Aza’ra endures.
