| The Fallen | TWTHG lore.

Instructions

Among the universe, there is one race of being that have the most notorious history. They are known as the Fallen, but they weren't always like this. Centuries ago, in a galaxy neighboring our own, there was a planet. This planet was called Uroa. Uroa had a tropical climate, filled with lush forests. In said forests, there lived the Illea. The illea were humanoid creatures, only, they had four arms, and bright blue eyes, with light teal, flower shaped irises. The Illea believed in honor, and made masks that represent their personality. Different colored marks meant different personalities. They are also identified by rank. -Captains (Masks with large horns, and wore a large coat) -Vandall (Masks with small horns, and wore a smaller coat) -Dregs (No mask, but rather a scarf, and wore light clothing. In the culture of the Illea, they believed their souls were bound to their swords, and that they were a symbol of their power. The More marks and cuts on the sword, the more respected the individual. Male Illea are called Lorei, and the female Illea were called Eliksni. Most Eliksni acted as caretakers, watching over hatchlings, called Eoki. The illea lived normal lives, until they were approached by The Traveler, which they called "The Great Machine." They worshipped it, for it's life giving powers. They were gifted a source of food, rather than being hunters. This food source was a glowing gold liquid, called Ether. For a while, the Illea became advanced, gifted with technology. They seperated into houses, each house harboring their own peoples, and each house having different ideals. They all collectively worshipped the Traveler. However, The Traveler was approached by the Witness' forces, and so, fled. This made the Illea vulnerable, and so the Cabal attacked and conquered them. Once a great peoples, became remnants of a dying race. There were once hundreds of houses, but now there are only twelve. When the cabal invaded, the Illea who met their ends, became resurrected as undead versions of themselves, called Scorn. When the rest of the Illea abandoned their planet, they sought the Traveler out. When they found it, the people of Verala sent out light-bearers to stop them. They called themselves the Fallen, for their fall from grace. They now live on one of the moons of Verala, Olera. Most of the factions lost their faith in the Traveler, but the only house to remain faithful, is the House of Light.
