- Heyo, Gwen here. This is some info on the Universe Lore on Forestborn, this doen’t mean I’ve chosen it as my series, I just felt like making a project explaining the world. Okay, let’s get started: - Origins- After the Creator built the world, he created two governing spirits to keep balance. Peace and War. Light and Darkness. Heavens and Earth. Male and Female. Life and Death. Good and Evil. Yin and Yang. - There names were Celeste and Terrainous. The two minor spirits keep balance, and no side could ever overcome the other. After that, the two worldly species were finally created. The Wisps. And the Larkyre. - The Wisps were born of the wood. They were spirit-like felines with plant features. They were gifted with powers from the crystal on their chest. The crystal allows them to use wood magic, such as blending into the trees, controlling plants, and stuff like that. But if they use to much of their powers their crystals fade, and they die. Also, when they die they become plants, cuz idk. So…um there are the Larkyres, the other species, and they are basically just normal cats, except they have special paws that can heat up and melt stuff and let them handle tools and weapons. So, yeah they like building stuff, and a lot of them are warriors, too. So, yeah they live in large Medical-style cities…and yeah…that’s pretty much it…so um the story is that the Larkyres were expanding their territory and building near Wisp land. The Wisps were very angry at this and started complaining. The Larkyres ignored the complaints and continued building. The Wisps started sending threats to the build camps, and the workers grew more cautious. Then, one day the Larkyre princess appeared dead, in Wisp territory. Angered and heartbroken, the king ordered his soldiers to burn down a nearby Wisp village. Extremely upset at this, the Wisp council declared war on them. They war lasted several long year, and each species hatred of the other grew and grew. So did the number of lives lost. Tired of the endless slaughter, a wisp by the name of Willow decided to do something. He created a giant shield over the Wisp capital, making it impossible to find for the Larkyres. But his crystal ran out. He died. But his giant willow tree still stands, in the middle of the city, overlooking the safe haven he created. While most Wisps decided to stay in the capital, now called Willowhaven, some Wisps decided to take matters within their own paws. They were rogues, strays, that used their magic to lure Larkyres off their paths and send them to their doom. This Wisps were called Wanderlings. Meanwhile, in Larkyre territory the anti-Wisp community consumed their society. They lived to hunt, hate and destroy the Wisps. Of course, they couldn’t find them, and quickly quit searching. But the hate never diminished. Both sides still had small skirmishes. But what started all this? Why was the princess dead? What, or who had started this everlasting rivalry? The question still remains, what had happened on that deadly night? Had her death been an accident? Or a intentional murder? -
