Dark Inheritance

Synopsis

This book offers a comprehensive recapitulation of the dawn of life in the universe: from the creation of the primordial beings who shaped existence itself, to the rise and fall of the Kingdom of the Gods, manifested in the ancient Republic of the Gods.

Its collapse—after long years of war against the emerging Empire of Exquema, guided by a High Divine Being—marked one of the most momentous events in cosmic history.

What is written here constitutes a broad yet profound journey through the great universal events, compiled and studied tirelessly up to the present day.

All with one purpose: to understand what we were before… and what we are now.

Signed,

Great Father of the Church of Vitorias, Eduarht Neceo Thirharn

ACT 0: Introduction

The Four Pillars

In the beginning, there was nothing—and nothing was all that existed: a perpetual void, as dark as trying to see with one’s eyes closed.

How it came to be is unknown, but from absolute nothingness a light was born, destined to illuminate a creation that did not yet exist. That light divided into four, and each fragment embraced a fundamental concept, staining this new canvas of black.

From that light emerged the stars, the galaxies, and the constellations. From it also sprang life, which would wander endlessly through infinity, carrying its warmth to every corner. And from that light, divided into four, were born the first beings to name themselves “alive,” the first to be aware of their own existence, the first to think—and then to exist.

Those who came after would call them the Pillars of Creation, for without them the universe would have remained dark and cold, barren to all living things.

In their primordial splendor, the Four Pillars sought to radiate even more life through their innate light. Each embraced what they wished to see reflected in future creations. They named themselves—not only as a sign of power, but as a warning: an eternal reminder of who they were, for when life would one day face what they would call death.

In their wisdom, they used their own light as fuel for existence, and each portion was imbued with a concept.

Davothir, the Pillar of Wisdom. His light shelters intellect and guides the thoughts of those who would come after.

Mikahla, the Pillar of the Soul. Her gift is what remains when death reaches the living: the soul, guardian of what once was in those who are no more.

Plazidux, the Pillar of Mortality. Where there is life, there will be death. Nothing is eternal, and his light marks the inevitable end, so that future beings may remember that all things have a limit.

Zhaxlor, the Pillar of Power. His flame is pure force—a searing light that grants the courage to advance, to impose will upon chaos, to transform the world through power.

From each of the Pillars would arise a divine family, direct heirs to their light and eternal purpose:

  • The Royal Family of Wisdom, bearing the name Thirharn, descendants of the progenitor Davothir.
  • The Royal Family of the Soul, bearing the name Ahlatomothir, descendants of the progenitor Mikahla.
  • The Royal Family of Mortality, bearing the name Duxant, descendants of the progenitor Plazidux.
  • The Royal Family of Power, bearing the name Lorian, descendants of the progenitor Zhaxlor.

These four primordial families gave rise to the Primigenial Gods—the first to carry the blood of the Pillars, the first to reflect their greatness.

Like their predecessors, the Primigenial Gods bore within them a vital essence of the universe itself, acting as guardians and protectors of that fundamental force…
