Wardens stand as the main deities and protectors of Sonaria, often exerting their
influence during their respective seasons or through the embodiment of their ideologies.
These divine beings cannot be seen physically by any creature, except for their
incarnations that roam the land.
The incarnations are assumed to resemble their creators, however the actual
appearance of the Wardens is unknown. The purpose of the incarnations is to function
as the perceptual eyes and physical will in the world, each dedicated to their respective
Warden. These incarnations are not the Wardens themselves, in essence, they are
merely puppets controlled by their creators.
Keys
Balance must be maintained on Sonaria. Wardens can come and go from Sonaria
while visiting their other worlds. Their absence is signified by the glow of their statues
being completely diminished.
The keys maintain balance on Sonaria during a Wardens’ prolonged absence. All
the combined Warden’s power must be present in some form even if a Warden is
offworld, so it is supplied by the keys in their stead.
Runes and symbols that disclose the whereabouts of specific warden keys are
occasionally present around Sonaria.
An Urzuk has the appearance and qualities of Malveathian, Serphelius, and Qhualhul.
Rebus was attacked by Qhualhul, causing multiple pages of the Journal they had
created to be lost and torn.
Rebus is the last known Urzuk on the Sonarian continent, and the rest of his
species' whereabouts are unknown, presumably elsewhere on the Orb. This individual is
capable of powerful magic that allows him to know the location of Warden's keys.
Rebus was taught by the species Owa’Stryrus to read and write, meaning that their
Journal was legible.
This journal contained diagrams of the journeys that he had been on, leading
future readers to the possible whereabouts of the fabled key fragments of the Boreal
Warden. Rebus was recaptured at the end of the “Mystery of the Keys” Event, by Boreal.
The World
Sonaria is a one-of-a-kind planet that serves as a gathering place for all Wardens
to collaborate and convene. The terrain lacks curvature and hovers in the expanse of
space, akin to a pliable mass of clay that can be shaped according to the Warden's will.
The flow of seasons and the passage of time occurs at an exceptionally rapid pace, a
phenomenon likely attributed to the intervention of the Wardens. Celestial bodies, such
as the sun and moon, orbit the land with the land itself being stationary in space.
Regardless, Sonaria finds itself within the center of the universe, being the origin point
for all creation. The existence of the universe, and by extension Sonaria, is presumably
orchestrated by the Wardens.
Wardens came into being → Universe is created → Sonaria is made at the center of the
universe → Other planets are created by wardens individually → All creatures intermix
within Sonaria
Creatures
Thus, new creatures are constantly introduced into Sonaria. Most creatures hail from
wildly different ecosystems, leading to Sonaria being extraordinarily ecologically
diverse. However, it seems that the Wardens are constantly trying to innovate and
improve upon their creations, but the reasoning behind this and why they bring creatures
to Sonaria could very likely be exploitative.
Sadly, creatures that cannot endure Sonaria's ecosystem are left to wither away into
extinction. Evidence of this is laid bare within Sonaria, as there are massive skeletons
littered around the world. None of these ancient beings survived, presumably just being
one of many failed experiments by the Wardens.
Rebirth
The cause and purpose behind the resurrections and rebirths almost certainly correlate
to the unusually high population.
Please note that the current Lore event is not featured in this doc as it is not a part of the lore document made by Wolfraogn and is orchestrated by
Cinnakxll!
