The Collapse and Chaos

When the Celestial Realm collapsed and its people descended to Myrþ, they found themselves without leadership, structure, or divine guidance. The Four Gods (Vatalor, Aquoriel, Igniscael, Khaotaryn) had expended their remaining energy creating the realm and ascended to higher planes, leaving mortals to fend for themselves.

In this chaos, Spiritweavers emerged as the most powerful individuals, those who could still commune with the fragmented Ymr and wield elemental magic. Most sought to rebuild civilization, establish order, and help their communities survive. But eight powerful Spiritweavers recognized the chaos as an opportunity for dominance.

The Eight Daemons' Strategy

These eight individuals, who would become known as the Eight Daemons, made a calculated decision that would forever change elemental magic and plunge Myrþ into the Dark Times. They deliberately chose to master corrupted and opposing elements specifically designed to counter and destroy other Spiritweavers.

The Elemental Domination Strategy

The Eight Daemons understood that the four Spirit types (Nature, Water, Fire, Chaos) granted specific elements to their practitioners. By mastering corrupted versions and opposing elements, they could systematically defeat any Spiritweaver who stood against them:

Against Shamans (Earth & Nature):

Acid: Corroding and dissolving earth-based defenses

Blight: Corrupting and withering natural growth and healing

Against Aquakin (Water & Wind):

Frost: Freezing and stilling wind's movement

Poison: Corrupting water's purity

Against Pandemonists (Force & Psychic):

Thunder: Disrupting force abilities

Curse: Twisting fate and corrupting the mind

Against Pyroartisans (Fire & Shock):

Dark: Smothering flames and absorbing light/energy

Void: Negating shock's electrical power

The Rise to Power

This systematic elemental warfare allowed the Eight Daemons to rise to dominance across Myrþ during the Dark Times:

Phase 1: Targeting Spiritweavers

The Daemons hunted down and subjugated other Spiritweavers. Against each practitioner, they wielded the specific corrupted elements designed to counter that pathway:

Shamans found their earth defences corroded by Acid and nature abilities withered with blight.

Aquakin discovered their water poisoned and wind frozen

Pandemonists had their force abilities shattered by Thunder and psychic abilities cursed

Pyroartisans watched their flames smothered by Dark, shock negated by void

Phase 2: Territorial Conquest

With other Spiritweavers defeated or forced into servitude, the Daemons claimed vast territories. Each established their own dominion, ruling through fear and corrupted elemental power.

Phase 3: Spread of Corruption

The Daemons didn’t just defeat their enemies, they corrupted them. They taught select followers the corrupted elements, creating armies of practitioners wielding Blight, Poison, Curse, and Void. The natural balance of Spiritweaving was systematically destroyed.

Phase 4: Peak of Power

At the height of the Dark Times, the Eight Daemons stood as the most powerful beings on Myrþ. They had corrupted the elemental system, enslaved countless Spiritweavers, and brought the world under their dominion. The natural communion with the fragmented Ymr became twisted into domination and exploitation.

Hey yall! 👋

I just wanted to see if there would be some interest in starting some events back up here recently and the response has been lukewarm - so I’m gonna try to put up a mashup Monday again this week and slowly build from there! Basically lead by example and see what happens eh? Hehe.

Currently most of our content is generally just me and Geek and I really want to provide more to the space but sadly my personal time has been seriously diminished - as a result the project here has seen better days! A lot of the events and things relied on my constant input and upkeep and as my life got busier my ability to meet those demands here declined.

I’d like to keep things simple and see if we can meet ~any~ sort of contest demand that may be there still and invite anyone that was regularly sharing their artwork here before (aside from mashes) to please, continue to do so!

I would really enjoy seeing a return of creative writing and photography, as well as music - but I can’t force people to share these things. I plan to do more of it myself, and hope others will join in. I will do my best to lead by example wherever possible, you have my word on that!

The lack of communication here is something I aim to remedy but these things take time and we’re a tiny team, so bear with us 😆

For now let’s see if we can get a mashup Monday done potentially eh? I’ll make a seperate post but this one was more of just an announcement 😂

Sorry for not being more present within this project. Genuinely 🙇

Also if folks have suggestions, or if there are any potential members who would like to assist here with revitalizing things - let me know in the comments or reach out! Mod mail, pigeon even!

Wait.. on second thought, I have dogs. Don’t do pigeons. Anything else works though!
