Not long after his birth, Ira's mother fled from her husband whom sought her life. They left behind a brother and life he would never know. His mother returned to her homeland but for a short time, the war between Resila and Surlvhal spreading to the village's borders. Heading far south-east, DInah and Ira took shelter with a farmer because of her growing illness.

Destiny made itself evident in what would become of Ira and farmer Bregoni's adopted daughter, Mila's lives at this point. A brief respite was ended when the mother ans son's pursuers tracked them to the countryside and set the home ablaze. Killing all but the children who were hidden, they were rescued by Rema Merloci.

A shadow hung over the boy, if it were not related to the events surrounding his bedridden mother's death. Wanting to grant them a new start, Rema adopted Ira, changing his name to Dusk. Because penumbra were not allowed in the custody of huma, Mila was adopted by Rema's companion, Viktoria.

Strictly educated at Thedian Dante and Rema, Dusk grew into an educated youth who saw his future as his surrogate mother's, in Isalme Military. Performing with excellence with no other than a Transient as his tutor, he too was considered to join Ematus Sercia, Isalme's ranks of special agents. This would be halted by the discovery of the branch's involvements with Surlvhal's upper ranks, and the tormenting spirit leading Dusk to a link from his past.

Dusk's struggles in Part I are the memories he wishes to forget, but is forced to confront them by his long tormentor, the fallen Ehmata, Alastor. Though objective in personality, his true character is revealed among those he trusts. Just the same, if betrayed, he is without mercy.

Eternity~Lost Children Pt. I

Terminology






Universal



Nis

Setting for the story and world held in unseen crisis. Forgotten to some, an ageless emissary to all things living continues its rampage through principalities and powers. The Creator of Nis stands in the way of this destruction, bringing his remembrance to mind to his foregone children in order to save them.
This is the unseen war over Nis, yet the focus is on the struggle of those that are in the balance of this great struggle.

Abyss

Appears as a swirling cloud of black smoke in certain locations in the world. It is unknown where it originated from, but it increases without source. It has the power to destroy life and manipulate the mind's of any thinking creature come in contact with it. Towers are built around them to trap in the mist and refine it for use in magik.

Abyss poses a threat to huma and nuhuma, all life alike. It was discovered to be harnessed by the Penumbra, the only race able to withstand years of contact with it.


The Abyss

In some religions, it is a literal place in which the souls of the dead travel for their final rest. To others, the Abyss refers to the evil of living things powerful enough to manifest in the real world.


Sorcery

The system and practice in which magik is used. Sorcerers once were renowned throughout the world during the time of the Ariem Empire, but all records were lost in Betamoth's destruction. Sorcery has resurfaced from ancient Lithavanian texts and being passed down.

Glyphs

An ancient symbolic language created by Gran Sorceress Shahrivar of the Lithavanian Age. Glyphs channel the powers of abyss, which is magik, making it directly accessible to whom bears or inscribes the marking. A glyph exists for every magik arte.

Glyph Weapon

Weaponry created from a special ore with great resonance with abyss. They are inscribed with incantations or glyphs to create the mightiest weapons unrivaled by any army. The original concept derived from the Penumbra, and nearly a millennia later, few are able to forge such marvels. They can only be destroyed by another glyph weapon or powerful magik.

The only known existing glyph weapons today are Daemon Sword, Luna Sword, and Adrammelech.

Arte

A technique physical or spiritual, honed by one for the purpose of war or aesthetics.


Continents



Tradore

Central continent of Nis, home to the largest population of huma and nuhuma. It has only been hundreds of years since the nuhumas lost dominance of their land to the quickly spreading huma traveling from Delsa. Tradore's ruling powers are Nuefraust, Rayne, Surlvhal, Gale, Midwane, Resila, and Isalme.



Kingdoms



Surlvhal

Once a land belonging to hunters and warriors, the Anite discovered their potential for war and began to raid and subjugate weaker tribes until they grew comparable in strength to the Keldrian Monarch. A northern kingdom that holds the border between Tradore and Finale.

Resila

Once a nomadic band of herders, they claim to be God's chosen people, awaiting the Meshiach. Their first ruler was Sha'ul, and have since shared in the burdens of having a kingdom because the people no longer wished to be ruled over by God. Resila stretches along the northern and southern coast of Tradore.

Nuefraust

After Lord Belniere Nuefraust and Duke Volpe Piras II split into factions after the revolution against the Keldrian Monarch, Lord Belniere remained to carry out his vision. Battle against Surlvhal, the Ariem, and Moon Tribe brought the aid from Rayne. The discovery of gald and the abyss resonant ore, Saephite brought wealth. With the gain of expanded territory, the land was set for Belniere to crown himself King of the realm of Nuefraust.

Isalme

Formed by Duke Volpe and other nobles opposing Lord Nuefraust's unorthodox ideas. Thirty years after the kingdom of Nuefrost was completed, Duke Volpe began building the city of Isalme. It rivaled the �€œShining City�€� with its Norwian style architecture, giving Isalme it's own nickname, the �€œshaded hill city�€�. Isalme would later become the capitol of the De Forma region of Tradore.
To ensure its establishment, the now King Volpe allied himself with Surlvhal. This brought on the Succession Campaign and later the Alliance Pact that unified the huma nations.

Rayne

The oldest obathran kingdom established after their settling in Tradore. They focused their energies toward the sea, creating the largest naval fleet and sea commerce in the world. This allowed them to open trade with Tian and Aqualos, even sailing the rivers to Gale.


Villages/Towns/Cities





Nuefrost

Capitol city of the Kingdom of Nuefraust. Nuefrost was moved from what is now the city of Arms during the rule of Belniere II. With access to the Deat Strait, Nuefrost began amassing a greater fleet for the purpose of trade and warfare.
The towering walls and beautiful architecture took 100 years to complete. It is called the �€œShining City�€� because of the use of Saephite in their marble structures. With the popularity of Delsa's religion, Nuefraust's Queen Mary-Ennette had the grandest temple constructed for the Holy Goddess.


Calam

Village of the Adjurite tribe. Lies on the eastern coast of Resila. A small fishing village, now under the control of Surlvhal.

Betamoth

The former empire of the Ariem race, destroyed by their pursuit for power. When relations were peaceable between them and Lithavania, great amounts of trade occurred. One such trade was the knowledge of magik. Betamoth used it to subjugate neighboring lands. They stole the Origin Glyph from Lithavania and renamed it The Circle of the Enlightened Dragon.

Betamoth lost a famous and sometimes thought mythologized battle to Lithavania. A century after Lithavania's fall, Betamoth soon followed. Surviving Ariem say that the Enlightened Dragon awakened and laid waste to their capitol.

Chierloom

The former monarchy of Dalomos. It was the birthplace of many obathran which left for Tradore. The father nation to Nuefraust, Rayne, and Isalme. It came to an end with the division between the bowen and obathran of the land.

Crimson Rule

A system of laws set up and later enforced by pain of death by the Lithavanian Hierarchy. It was not only their law but what was meant to be the core belief of every loyal Penumbra.

Divine Gods

Also known as Devina Godve, the former national religion of Delsa before the Church of the Holy Mother became popular among the royals. Their gods are very similar to the Gods of Origin if not the difference being in name. Delsa's cultural twist created exclusive gods and left out Ariem rituals. The deities of Divine Gods are very huma in character.

Entimas

Neith was said to have been spoken to in a dream by the Goddess of Intent, Pachta. From then on, Entimas became a deeply sexual exploration of inner energy. She and her followers were thrown out of Surlvhal, journeying as far as Tian to worship as they wished.
Entimas is still secretly practiced by those once influenced by Hidimutra.

Origin of the Gods

Ancient tablets describing the deities of the Ariem Empire, Betamoth. Sixty-three percent of the texts of been located and is assumed to have been their religious belief. Devina Godve borrows much of its basis from the Origin of the Gods. Only the Ariem themselves hold many of the clues of their belief and keep it to themselves.

Rok-ka

Luna

Goddess mentioned in the scrolls of the Divine Gods. She was said to possess two faces. One of righteousness and the other of maliciousness. It is thought the original authors were Penumbra due to the relationship of the moon relevant to what is found in their writings. Luna is the mother of the Penumbra, further proof, birthing the race into the world through self-conception. For �€œthose of light�€� (which reference remains a mystery), she conceived with Zertes, the sun god.

Klebores

The god of night in the mythology of Divine Gods. Once a mortal warrior of great fame, Klebores came across Luna bathing in the Light of the Stars. He became obsessed with her, even venturing on The Way To the Moon. Not able to find her, Klebores crossed into the darkness of the moon, were man's past evil was said to dwell. In madness, he took his own life.

Zertes

Sun God and primary deity in the Divine Gods mythology. Son of the Creator God, Ferteles and Goddess of Darkness, Cheron.

Cheron

Written during a time when women were associated with being vessels for evil spirits, Cheron's character directly reflects this. Cheron was a wicked being that existed in the beginning with Ferteles, plaguing man and gods alike.
She battle Ferteles for eons until Ferteles dove into the abyss after her. Captured, he felt compassion for her misery and �€œcleansed�€� her of her evil ways.

Heros

Glyph of the 3rd Ring of the Enlightened Dragon. It's powers are unknown as its use has never been recorded nor are they easy to detect. One visible change is in the bearer's prowess. They fight undeterred by mortal wound until death.

Her story begins when given to the care of a able farmer of Isalme. It is unknown if the shrouded figure was the parent that delivered the infant to his doorstep. It was clear that the child was not huma from appearance, but the man experienced the loss of his wife not so long ago that persuaded him to do so. Mila was raised aside three boys and eventually, another.

A well-mannered and delightful child, Mila was more than accepting when Dinah and her son, Ira came to them for aid. For she knew in her heart that she was not of Mulkivitch's blood, but loved him nonetheless. Ira was like her in being an outsider. In a short period of time they became closer than her brothers, but it would be short lived. Dinah's pursuers came at the break of dawn and set the home ablaze, killing whoever dared to flee for safety.

It was only thanks to the eldest son of Mulkivitch that Mila and Ira escaped into a gully. In what seemed like a nightmare lasting forever, their savior came clad in black. A knight of Isalme appeared with her men and routed the mercenaries. Only the children survived. Rema Merloci, the one who took them in was only able to keep Ira. Because Mila was a Penumbra, she could only have such a caretaker. Gladly, Viktoria was more than willing to take her as her own.

A great power lies in her blood, the direct cause of her consistent illnesses growing up. She has the greatest faith and reliance upon her loved ones, young Dawn under her watchful gaze. Yet even her love will be tested in the face of those responsible for her very existence...and their intentions for her.
