The Material Plane

After the chaos of the Dawn Age when the Keeper divided the Mortal World to separate the warring factions she created five primary duplicates, each with a differing connection to the four Immortal Planes. The Material Plane was constructed with a perfectly balanced connection to each of these realms which resulted in it's greater degree of diversity when compared with the other planes.

When the Division occurred the Keeper decided that the Titans should inhabit the Plane of Balance, she hoped that the most contentious faction would find harmony in the center of the vast cosmos. Unfortunately the Titans were not so compliant. Some sought peace and tranquility in the newfound silence, while others raged at the world intent on tearing down the boundaries of existence to reach their ancient foes.

When those wrathful Titans eventually fell, with the assistance of the Gods, those that remained sought to rebuild the shattered realm. The last of the Titans knew that if they were to wage war once more this fragile world falter and pass on into the great Unknown; not wanting the realm they loved to end they concocted a plan. They worked the first of Istoriah's Great Magics to grant substance to the roots of Yggdrasil that threaded through all of Creation and wove them into gateways through which energy could flow. Then with the energies of the 5 Mortal and 4 Immortal planes running through them they immolated.

From their ashes rose millions of new creatures who inherited the world. Where the Ash fell on land came the Beasts that walk, where it muddied the waters came the Beasts that swam, and where it coated the clouds came the Beasts that fly. When all that remained of the Titans were embers pulsing with energy and light a hand broke through the charred remains. Then another, and another. The Human Race hatched from the remains and wandered blearily into the world.

They were not humans as you might call them, those that hatched near the new-formed Beasts took on their traits and became the first Beastfolk. And weather "Beastfolk" or "Human" they each carried within them the essence of every world. With that essence came the ability to procreate with any and all creatures within Creation and soon the realm was inundated with any number of Hybrids. By the time of the First Sundering what it meant to be "Human", at least biologically, was so diluted that it has simply become a catch-all term for Sapient Beings within the Material Plane.

Despite this some few distinctions can be made; those of Álfr descent are known as Elves and Satyrs, those of Dvergr descent are often Drawves of Gnomes, those of Jötunn are Goliaths and Ogres, and so on. Interspersed within these are many variants, such as Firbolgs born from Beastfolk and Goliaths, or beings imbued with aspects of other planes like Angelbloods or Spiritborns. Whatever they may be, and however they may have come to be they all still call Istoriah "Home".

hotter than hell

[ID: Digital art of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum in their alternative universe form based off an angel Vash and Devil Wolfwood illustration Nightow did. The both of them are sitting side by side, exhausted from the heat, Vash has his arms crossed, leaned against his knees and his head against his arms, eyes closed as sweat drips from his face. His wings spreads over the both of them to shield them from the sun. Wolfwood is sitting with his right leg extended and his left leg with the knee slightly up. His eyes are also closed with a clear grimacing expression. He uses one of his small devil wings to fan Vash, the text effect reads “flap flap”. Being in the shadows, the palette is cool, blues and purples. A sliver of light shines on the parts not covered by wings in a bright orange/yellow. END ID]
