Next Era is the Era of Levav from 623-1000; though it goes by many names, the Era of Revial, the Era of the Tower, the Era of the Plague, the Era of the Twin Celestial Saviours, and many others.
Due to the pain and chaos, the over-the-top hedonism and greed, the Children of the Future, the Tower of Genesis, sought to destroy such a reality, but demanded that both humility and respect be the main guiding principles, and encouraged all who came there for study to live their lives by the same principles. They encouraged unity between all of their member states through the sharing of ideas and immense transparency. They refused to get into any wars and remained impartial no matter the conflict.
They encouraged a new type of science. Spirit science, which aimed to see all that spirit energy could be used for going forward, and recovered many secrets from the 2nd Kingdom of the 1st Cycle. This research gained far more strength, as both Seirei, and the Seraph's which had joined. The tower also made strides to reconnect with Elpída and started putting massive emphasis on the Ideal made when Elpida was formed, seeing themselves as a sort of successors.
It was during this era that many found out that the Church of Lux had formed an alliance with the Seraphs. Another group that joined the tower was the current rulers of Jedidah, who, after almost 1000 years, had finally found a way out of the sandstorm that covered their country and had rejoined the world. Offering vast amounts of knowledge about the 1st and 2nd cycles, along with great assistance in spirit sciences.
The world's economy that can be seen in the current era also started to be formed, as many of the countries took the exploitation done by the children of the future and used it as a basis of their economies. Understand what they can do better than others in terms of natural exports.
The tower put great emphasis on regalia manifestation, legacy studies, wonderbeast engineering, the study of extreme weather zones, the study of history and the study of Basileia artefacts. The increased push on spirituality throughout the world saw a massive revival and increase in the belief in the messiah, but also saw the beginning of other religious movements. Though some of them died as the where eventually found to be from the other races gods.
This also had a secondary effect where many people in Enotita sought deeper into their pasts and were able to rediscover the cultures that had existed before the Dá Dynasty had completely taken over, leading to many separatist movements, and pushed the Dá Dynasty's claim of legitimacy from the Charles Era away more and more.
Though unsettling, technological development also took a hit during this era, as people, whether by the fault of the tower or not, saw the creation of such things as reminders of the Children of the Future and tools of bloodshed; during this era, people also destroyed a certain number of basileia artefacts found for similar reasons. The nightmares also took another social hit during this era, as their curses were seen as impurities and the lack of spirit energy was a sign that they were corrupted by flesh.
This era wasn't without conflict. The lack of trust and power of the adventurers' guild led to an increase in bandits and wonderbeast attacks; the militarisation of every nation also led to many different border conflicts which, regardless of whether people wished to or not, came into the tower.
Another issue was cultists who saw being known as the Devil's as their god's related to a plague that brought monsters the world had not seen in mass across the lands, infecting and destroying all those it touched.
Leading to the creation of a special unit within the many churches of Telonism, know as purifier who led by Sun Saint vanquished pushed the plague back yet were unable to destroy it in full. Such an event led Telonism to restore its reputation after the chaos caused by the Children of the Future.
Outside of that, the tower also had issues with being a place that only the rich and powerful could compete in, as the qualifications needed to be able to produce the results necessary to stay required financing that increased as time went on. Leading to many feeling like their voices weren't heard.
In the East, the increase in Lianism and the over-spiritualisation of the world led many to believe that Enotita was some sort of holy land, and the Lotus was the first tree placed by god instead of Cordum. Increasing nationalist attitudes led to the three dynasties garnering support across the world and rapidly militarising.
The same sentiment grew in Molstoria, as the ancestral home of the Nephilim, Yggdrasil, was seen as a holy tree of sorts, leading to the same reputation, which was driven by the humiliation Molstoria faced at the hands of Dumitra.
Blestemate also faced far more issues than it ever did before. The queen held onto the territory it had with an iron grip and imposed immense regulations and taxes on them as reparation for not only the assaults, but also for the aid it gave the areas in the early days. It is said that nightmare supremacy was rampant in the areas where this took place, and they resembled something akin to slave castes.
Many voiced their concern, especially in the tower, but due to the tower having no influence in Blestemate, as well as the queen's immense power, nothing could be done. Though Jedidah, which had tried to exert some influence over both the chaotic plains, and Molstoria got in constant clashes with them. But the seeds of anger grew day by day.
All of these tensions, plus the increasing power of the tower, led to the towers being in multiple different conflicts, with the worst two reaching a worldwide scale; the first one was ended by the Three Saints of Annihilation. The Sword Saint and head of the Western and Eastern schools of combat, said to have mastered all Battle arts ever known, the Eternal Seer, the last known living Seer who was a Scholar at the towers known for her spiritual insight beyond her years, and the 2nd Queen of Blestemate, Alucard, the originator of the Blestadrac.
And for the second was ended by the Twin Celestial Saviours, two warriors who very little is known about, yet were said to have been known by all who lived in that world despite no records being kept. Yet it is said they are the ones who destroyed great tree known as Yggdrasil was utterly destroyed.
Eventually, the tower fell from power, with its influence spreading to what would one day be known as Gevurah. The three dynasties faced a series of civil disputes, yet were all forced apart, splitting into the nation system that remains today.
The queen of nightmares eased up on her control and stepped down for the first time in her rule, crowning a successor and going into exile as a sign of good faith between the countries.
Jedidah had also claimed most of the land surrounding what used to be Cordum, and exercised its control over them, though the great sandstorm caused multiple communication issues.
The next era, known as the Tempestuous Era from 1001-1612, was an era based around Molstoria as the destruction of Yggdrasil led to changes in the ocean yet again, but this time what was unearthed were the treasures that lay deep below as many different secrets buried down in the ocean rose up, leading to many discoveries.
During this period, countless riches were to be found, so many from around the world took the oceans of Molstoria, and a great tempestuous era flooded the seas as many adventurers and pirates went to gain as many resources as possible. Many countries also dealt with pirates as a way to secure the riches without incurring any political damage. This era, while profitable for all those who participated, brought chaos and destruction to the native people of Molstoria, and as Blestemate's power fell and Jedidah's involvement in Molstoria continued, the people were left without support.
Eventually, the groups around all of Molstoria formed into one large group known as the Rinastcean Union and fought back against the pirates, successfully creating a counterforce for them all. Though as Blestemate and Jedidah tried to regain control, they were met with combat and resistance, eventually ending in a war between the two groups with the victory of the Rinastcean Union. Blestemate which was known for its overwhelming strength suffered and embarrassing loss that lead to nightmares place in the world dropping significantly.
In Terrafide, Jedidah in the west, and countries of Enotita in the east launched constant invasions into Terrafide for land and power, eventually beating down the people of Terrafide. Jedidah also tried to invade the wild lands, but Blestemate was able to push them back.
During this time a hero king arrived from a tiny country that would one day be called Avalon, and together with his table he fought back against both forces, claiming land and pushing Jedidah back behind the snowstorm, and completely annihilating the Intibunga of Enotita that led the invasion before colonising them leading to a power vacuum an embarrassment for Enotita, as the people of Terrafide who they had for generations seen as below them finally were able to strike back. He also pushed into the wild lands, liberated them and killed the current ruler of Blestemate.
The king eventually united all of Terrafide, with the exceptions of the land under what would be known as Gevurah, as well as the beasts claw, and Jedidah.
But the king was eventually stricken with madness and went on a bloody rampage across all three continents, causing massive havoc and bloodshed. Eventually, four heroes rose up with the help of Cordum and managed to defeat the king, ending Avalon reign.
The heroes and Cordum, seeing the chaos that was released, eventually decided that things needed to be changed. And the great sage himself took centre stage and applied a new world order, massively restricting Cordum's power, but wielding said influence in ways to benefit each country.
The queen of the nightmares had returned and announced a reinstatement of her people to return from all across the world. Enotita entered into an era of intense isolationism from the world. Molstoria Rinastcean Union gained immense power; Cordum became the centre of the world yet again.
Now we move to our current Era 1613-2026, an that has yet to be completed, and era in which no great stories have yet to be formed, an era in which people have strove for power endlessly forming large nations that wait to fully realise there full power, and era of rediscovery and investment into all and every form of technology, an era being shaped by the creation of coal power, an era filled with Legacies from top to bottom, and an Era in which the people of Niflheim will succeed beyond every expectation, and form a place in the world for us all.
Name: Sigbin
Height: 300cm
Type: Wonderbeast, Omnivore
Description: A large bipedal wonderbeast that looks like the fusion between a goat and a wolf. Its fur changes colour to match whatever area it may lie in as it waits to hunt its target.
Fact: They are known to hunt down children and feast on their flesh, yet they derive very little nutrients from such an act.
Name: Manananggal
Height: 150 Cm
Type: Wonderbeast, Carnivore
Description: An insectoid called a Manananggal; it has a singular lower body that it uses to create the flying upper bodies that are shaped like human torsos, but its flesh is hard and black like obsidian. Across their backs are giant bat-like wings, and on their fingers are large talons. Each of them lacks a head, but on the centre of all their chests is a giant eye they use to see and attack all of the party.
Fact: For decades, many thought they were a type of plant due to their characteristics, but over time people eventually realised they were insects which took on the shape of trees in hibernation to make it so they could grow safely until they were ready to hunt.
