Dev blog #1: Chronicles of the Towers
As far as I had recorded my thoughts down, these are the only things I have. For now. Most are still tentative for the moment and may subject to heavy change as the whole plot and universe itself are constantly changing to cover all the possible plot holes and plot points. 1: Tribes of Ettia Synopsis Archimedes Muozhel was sent by a powerful entity into an unknown world after a great tragedy that befalls his sister. After his pathetic struggle for survival, he found himself under the hands of the residence of a nearby village. where he could take his start but was hurdled by the animosity and cautiousness of the villages due to his different racial traits. A maiden named speaks out for his defense that allows him to stay within the village. This is where his quest for his wish begins. Character Sheet Name: Archimedes MouzhelAge: 10 years old (arc 1) 16 (arc 2) Gender: male Height: I have no freaking idea Weight: sameHair color: blackEye color: Race: HumanSkin color: brownish (Islander) Abilities and learned skills High endurance physique: A body who experienced constant heavy physical activities from both work and outdoor sports. Cardio and muscle strength developed to its max potential to try and keep up to the speed and agility of the beast men.Corrupted arm: absorbs concentrated magical energies my changing the direction and flow of the meridians. Heartseed: A seed from an elder heart tree, acts as a temporary meridian to allow the inflow of natural energies from the outside, into the dantian then to the parasitic corrupter. Ate the whole right arm as nutrients. Echolation: ability to pin point the location of an object or the user itself through repeated clicks in the air. Allows fights without the sense of sight.Overworld Creation: At first there was nothing, . Nothing existed, nothing has no form, no value or physic, all are nothing but energy that is without container, without something that will hold, a thing dispersed thinly across the horizon of abyss, aimlessly venturing the vast expanse of the dark space for billions of years. It was until a little but significant event has come forth that changed it all. Two distinct energies, formless and matterless collided with in an event of extreme coincidence causing a reaction that uses both distinct energies to form a singularity of matter and form. The for the first time, something took shape. The seed of the universe took its form. Although its size is small compared to the dark horizon, it obtained a special characteristic of absorbing nearby formless energies, turning it into its own food for consumption. Overtime as the seed journeys, it is slowly accumulating an increasing amount of energy which then it feeds on. Slowly growing in size and the rate of how much it can absorb with it, creating a cycle of consumption and growth that lasted for another billion of years until another change took effect. The seed, having accumulated large amounts of energy, transformed into an egg of concentrated energy. The egg, after thousands of years of absorbing more energy, burst forth sending waves and waves of chaotic energy, disturbing groundwork of the universe but at the same time from it came out a young celestial being, Marab. Gods Marab:“When I first laid my eyes into these world, all I saw are chaos on its unrestrained form. Waves and waves of raw power clashed forth with all of its grandeur. There are things that tries to create itself, to form into something whatever it may be, but all they ended up are are dust and clouds as the unstable reality collapse every time something is created, for a long time I saw the same exact scenario, pure destruction and as I continue to gaze upon the world I am in, I ponder on the cause of my existence. How come do I exist in a universe that existence itself is a sin. Then out of a whim, it occurred to me. I looked around for a forming cluster. The one I found is a small formation, right in the middle of three storms. I move myself across the other storms to get close and for some reason, I found these things giving me a way for everytime I move as if there is something in me that repels them. It confirmed my suspicions and such confirmation made me hasty to actually try it once. I didn’t know what I did but I poured my thoughts and energy in that small forming system and from it came forth your world. I am the embodiment of existence and so I made things exist. I made rules from nothing into something through my own power to stabilize the world I live in. I made stars, earth, sea’s and the sky. The energies that are made with them are too destructive for the vessels that I made and so I took all energies from all creations and create a whole different realms. The aether, the soul of the world. Afterwards I erected gigantic towers from the material realms to Aether to connect them. The towers act as distillation, calming the destructive energies that lies within allowing life to finally flourish in the material realm. Every creation that I make takes a part of me and time will come that I someday will cease to exist. There are so many things that I want to do, to form and create. The universe are still far still dangerous for my creations, I fear that with my death, all the rules ive created will cease to exist as alone it can’t fend the usurpation of the unstable world, reverting the system back into its original and primal state. I created the two overseers for the task. Kavov, The overseer of laws and Anuio, Overseer of creation. Both shall partake oversee the works ive done after my end, a part of my power and essence shall be left into their grasp such that my creations will never fade when I shall” Kavov: “I was born into the world not with joys or celebration. My first sight lead me to an image of a dying father who is already sending his last will. I was born out of necessity but if by any means I fail to commit the task I was given, more than my father’s life shall be lost for all eternity. I am Kavov, Overseer of rules, the god of foundations and also known as the god of chains. The essence of existence I have on myself allows me to manipulate the laws and rules of the world, I can create rules at the cost of destroying the old and so I maintain the stability of the universe and all sphere that it has grown from the unstable force of nonexistence that lies beyond” Anuio “My first sight had let me seen the beauty of the world. The complexity and detail of each creation. I am overwhelmed of the splendor and how such things are created, the earth, the seas and skies but most important of all are the life that dwells in it. I found joy in their companionship, I found joy in their ability to adapt, I found joy in the whole system survival they created for the benefit of all. The different relationships they form just to live and how much each and every individual soul is willing to take just to pursue their goals. They can wait for weeks for their hunts or sleep for an entire portion of a year just to survive a season. The will and determination, their emotions intoxicate me. I Anuio, overseer of creations, God of life and also dreams. Father in his dying breath had left his creations on my care and the essence and power he left on he allows just that. The abilities I posses allows me to tamper and manipulate life and its cycle. I can create entirely new species or destroy one if deemed necessary. My passion for the living had driven me committing a sinful act that cause a wedge between me and my brother but I care not. I shall do what it takes to make their dreams a reality” The UniverseThe Universe is divided into 4 categories. The material realm, the Aether, the towers ,and the outside.
Material realm: Material realm is a portion of the universe that had been stabilized and under the foundation of numerous rules and laws that kept it apart. It consist of all living and nonliving things that exist no matter the size, shape, and other characteristics. The Material realm is governed by the two overseers, Kavov and Anuio who oversaw almost every aspect of the realm itself. It is carefully managed and manipulated by the overseers to promote equilibrium among all other aspects of the universe. The Aether: The Aether is the realm where energies that flows throughout the whole material realm originates. Its a realm of pure energy and from it came spirits of all the living and the power that reside in their bodies. The Aether specifically overseen by Kavov as its existence is under the full jurisdiction of the laws. The outside: The place outside the sphere of material realm. It is a expanse of which the existing is violently destroyed. In such place, what exist shall cease to be as the none existing is hostile to what exist in this realm. Towers:dimensional realms that exist to connect both material and Aetherian realms. It is a place where Aetherian energies are rampant and beast of different compositions exists. Towers have vaults that exist within their realm. Any entity who can find and open a vault will obtain the ability to control the towers. Vaults can only be opened within a specific time period and with the use of a vault key. The key only appears hundred of years before the opening of a specific tower. GeneralSun revolves around the world in a 24 hour time scale which accounts for a whole day. 13 hours is the longest length the sun can be seen in a day. Night is the time when the sun is on the other side of the planet or there is no light from the sun. Nighttime is seen with stars and no other celestial bodies. Moon has been sealed 2 thousand years ago as a punishment for the rebellion named rebellion of the two lights. Arcadia Arcadia is the general name given to the world mortals lived in. On it resides thousands of plants, animal and intelligent species, wildly diverse and dispersed all around the material realm. Hamartia is the largest landmass that exist in Arcadia. Creatures of different race and species reside in the said continent or its underlying islands and islets. It is divided by 5 respective regions mainly, Lands of Sittris, Sentrosi sphere, Barrier west, Eattian realm, Nordish ranges Each regions lies diversity of climate, rule, culture, geography and most important of all the inhabitants themselves. Outside the towers: The civilization outside had already received tremendous feat. Achieving prominent technological advancements throughout the ages even without the aid of Aetherian magics. Powerful nations, contest for the vast fertile lands that exist within the vicinities of the towers while smaller weak countries are left to fend themselves within the barren lands beyond the towers control. Covenant of the Towers Type: FactionStatus: Global powerHas a largest influence in the whole world. Composed of different religious individuals who worships the tower as a gift by the Gods to mankind. Built thousands and millions of places for worship. Influences the mass public with their priests while manipulates kings and eunuchs in the royal courts. Has a multitude of Conceptors that backs them.Inside the tower(floors)Many believed that the towers themselves are the courts of the Gods. Never did they imagine that these towers itself contains a whole different world but quite much like their own. Inhabited by humans and strange creatures evolved from the nourishing Aetherian energies surging inside. Some artifact are eating the energies present in the area which explains why it is full of deserted shitsSeas of Harraja is filled with tides of sands, the soaring heat and scarity of resources prompt its inhabitants to be scavengers and night navigators. Kingdoms that exist in the region are mostly built near a stable source of water. The tomb of the kings exist in the most isolated location within the great tides of its sands. The Gishos Sphere is the central region of the continent. It is where most of the human kingdoms and states are situated. The abundance of resources and its fertile lands allowed these kingdoms to prosper and fully develop, prompting an immense and fast expansion of power of these kingdom until their territories collide with each other. It was then conflicts arose which lead to massive wars. Years the land is warring, kingdoms fall and absorbed one by one until 5 remain to be the strongest. Eattian realm is the region situated in the east. It is mostly composed of island kingdoms scattered among the great Ettian gulf. It is the center for trade among the continental kingdoms and the far-east Empires. Large numbers of harbors are situated in this region to accompany trading and military ships that came from different powerful kingdoms all around the continent. It is for such reason that the region is also given the title by the locals as the worldgate. The Barrier West is the region that lies beyond the great barrier range. It mostly inhabited by beastmen of different races and variation of characteristics. It is unknown how or why their race truly exist and why it only exist in this place, perhaps the overseers have some of their own tinkering. This region is currently unknown to the knowledge of the human kingdoms that exist in the east and it is hoped that it will stay that way for a long time. Nordish ranges is the mountain ranges that exist in the north. It is the home for the nordsmen or the mountain dwellers. They live under and above ground, worshipping both the earth and the sky. Years and years the nordsmen lived in a community of elders, fully isolated from the rest of the continent until their lands were found by the explorers. Human kingdoms in the central region can’t anymore expand their territories without waging a costly war on another, the discovery of a new land had made them hungry for the resources of power they might acquire. Such is the reason they began to greedily set their sights on the north and the Nords will not let their soil be taken by the foreigns. Multiple expeditions that is a lot larger in size in comparison to their formal legion had lead to catastrophic disasters and huge loss of human lives due to the tenacity to hold their ground. They are feared but central kingdoms will do what it takes to expand. The war continues on. Arc1 Animals: Domestic dyo+podya= Dyphan (bunak) = A specie of lizards with two overgrown legs. Known for its speed. Lives in groups on steppes, adept hunters and scavengers. Mostly used by intelligent races as mounts although its size can’t endure heavy loads, its leg power and burst of speed is favored by cavalry men or creatures who likes to go fast. Yamath: A docile creature that lives the southwest wasteland. It eats smaller animals to live sometimes growing plants. It has a thick hide and powerful tail which is sometimes use as a whip to defend itself from enemies and other predators. It is domesticated and bred by the southwestern natives to feed on their flesh and blood. The Yamath became the sole lifeblood of the natives the live in the wasteland and for such reason they are taken cared of. WildlifeArinat: A huge hulking beast known for its strength and territorial tendencies. Lives on the southern parts of the barrier west. Hostile on trespassers both other creatures or his own race. The creature has four powerful legs, dense skeletal and muscle frame, thick skin and a large sharp horn on his head which the creature used to skewer his victims to death. Arinat is a dangerous creature who roams the hilly parts of the southern barrier, it is observed that these creatures contest with one another over territories. The one with the largest attracts more females creating a cove with it as the prime. The females on the other hand are docile and peaceful. They have the same body type but much smaller compared to the males. Females doesn’t have a horn on their head but a rich thick mane that covers most of their bodies. The Females have a culture of parasites that lives on their bodies which the race eat which made females are an important resource for the race. Besides Arinat is hunted by groups of experienced hunters for its meat, hide and bones which is a good material for melee weapons. Aokott (Kaban): Groups of lizards that eats anything they see. Kabens has impressive reactive genetics which allows them to easily adapt to a specific climate or geography of the place they live in. Local kabans have their own developed skills and attitudes in both hunting and surviving. Kabans that live on the west end hunts on the night, stealing food and livestock from the local population, sometimes attacking a convoy on an isolated place to scavenge food. Kabans that live on the other side of the continent are day hunters, maximizing their geography to their hunts and abilities to their hunts making them one of the most capable wild beast to live. Treasure hunters often look for a kaban den. A kaban den is rumored to contain both scraps and treasures all piling up together as undigested things eaten are thrown up on their own dens. Gabur: Small yet dangerous animals. They have slender body, swarp claws and pointy fangs. These creatures are venomous and their venom can paralyze a large Yamath within minutes after it was bitten. They hunt in droves, all willing to plunge into dangerous situation just to take anything or anyone as long as it has flesh and its bleeding.

Concept is a universal truth of which are ideas and observations are forcefully manifested in the material universe by the manipulation of the energies that flows in it.
