In the age of the cosmos, there was light. A light of flames that clenched a golden vapour in a firm embrace. Yet no fire burns eternal. As its radiance dimmed, its hold faltered. The gold erupted into the void, scattering to form the stars, the moon, and the sun. The light condensed and folded into order: the regal light, Realida.
But every light has a shadow, and so too did the flaming light of the cosmos. A pale shadow that birthed an antithetical chaos inherently bound to order: the Unknown.
Awed by its creation, the cosmos bestowed three gifts upon the regal light: a glistening egg, a crystalline seed, and a caliginous spore. The egg hatched atop a mountain and bore the three siblings of the Tribunal. The seed sprouted on a field, its growth yielding the ten fruits of the Decemvirate. The spore settled in the depths of the ocean and spawned the regal viper.
The Tribunal rose with Aurelia at the helm, luminous and wise. She wove the light of the sun into magic and knowledge. Both she shared with her brethren, Balint and Val-Akos. Together, their will shaped the lands of Realida, sculpting its form to their liking.
