History

Syzygy

The first land to exist in Uaria was Syzygy. Created by the two siblings, Armitage and Mark, Syzygy was created a floating island, graced by gold skies and clouds. For the next 10,000 years, it was a peaceful paradise. Mortals, called Cosmics, and Gods coexisted. The Cosmics' lives were guided by divine hands.

The First Wave of Disease

The peace in Syzygy was shattered when an unknown disease swept across the town. 10% of the population passed away due to it.

The First Genocide

Fear and paranoia became rooted in the Syzygyns. Many of the citizens who were afflicted by the disease were farmers, leaving food and water scarce. In desperation, the region turned on itself, leading to the first genocide in Uaria's history. The slaughter was aimed at food-holders, the infected who remained and containing the spread. It lasted for 10 years. When it was settled upon being over, the Cosmics decided to mark the era by naming the next generation "The Syzygyn."

The First Winter

The island entered its first winter soon after the genocide had settled down. It was an age of darkness that evolved The Syzygyn to adapt to harsh weather, difficult terrain (ETC.). Survival had become a struggle until Mark, The Deity Of Lunar Twilight, grew crops himself using the magic of the land. By the end of the winter, when communities had begun to come together again to help each other through the storm, it had lasted 300 years.

The Second Genocide

With the island weakened from the first genocide and the first winter, a new threat emerged-a dangerous entity known as BRFX. The Syzygyn labeled BRFX's species as the Xotet, monsters from the underside of the island. BRFX embodied destruction, ruin, and the force of death. It's arrival signaled The Second Genocide, an even more devastating event than the first, as the rest of its kind infiltrated the island and killed 49% of the population, almost all of the town square. Armitage attempted to fight it off several times to banish it, to no avail. Mark was nowhere to be seen.

The Rise of Queen Amani

Hope had been lost for the survivors of Syzygy. After centuries of hardship, many people accepted living in fear and distrust. A month after The Second Genocide started, came the new Goddess of the Sun, Amani. Created by Armitage to aid her in power, she was intended to combat BRFX. With strength and grace, she succeeded to defeat it, but was too late to seal it away in the underworld before it escaped from the island entirely. As she tended to the survivors, the people of Syzygy recognized her kindness and leadership, anointed her as their queen. Over the course of 700 years, Amani transformed the land, restoring peace and order while offering her services and compassion to the broken communities. Her rule marked the beginning of a new era with the floating island now taking her name and inheriting her magic. "Syzygyn" born under her rule were now called "Amanians". Armitage was no longer to be seen. 

The Island Split

After centuries of growth, the island of Amani divided into three provinces-The Asna Province, The Leskalos Province and the Uguri Province. This split was driven by the Amanians' need for localized protection. Each province developed its own culture and customs while remaining united under Queen Amani's rule.

The First Aurethys

The first celebration of the Aurethys took place on February 1st, marking Amani's birthday. The event was a symbol of gratitude for Amani's support, as she helped everyone struggling with food cultivation, implementing citizen protection, and providing peace for the families who have lost. Festivities included rhythmic dancers, communal feasts and retellings of the island's history through performances.
