Editing A&O Setting (section)

==The End of an Age==


Arrayed against the Solar Deliberative were three massive armies. The Balorian Crusade, led by Prince Balor, stalked all the greatest and most terrifying Raksha warriors ever to be united, The Deathlords, made up of corrupted Solars and their Lunar mates who took Necromancy to the next level and sold their names to the Neverborn for ultimate power to destroy. The last was the Yama Kings, the mightiest Akuma to ever surrender their wills, a full complement of 50 dark beings.

If the Deliberative hadn't nearly destroyed itself with infighting since the discovery of the Great Curse at the drawing of the Great Prophecy, perhaps these rebels could have been contained. But the Hierophant's Inquisition was too much. Everyone was tainted, and so everyone was the enemy. The unfair war pushed dozens of young Chosen into the eager arms of the the Yozi and the Neverborn, and even many Lunars into the madness of the Wyld.

It was the End of an Age.

The continent cracked, and the Yama Kings unleashed their masters at long last.

The Yozi returned, and the world was the be remade.

At first, Sol did as his old masters commanded, though he was greatly reprimanded. His child was given the position of Sun, and Sol became simply "The Lightbringer", the most powerful and avenging angel of the new Celestial Order. Luna was not punished, for unpredictably testing boundaries was her purpose.

On the other hand, The Maidens had defiled themselves twice. They had needed Autocthon to take some of their essence to make Asna Firstborn, the Pattern Spider Queen. Afterwards, they had pooled their might to create "Little Sister", Ananasa, the Maiden of Oversight. When She Who Lives In Her Name saw the blasphemy the Fates had done, she sought to "repair" them.

She made a mistake though. She thought Asna Firstborn was the whole of their sacrificed power, and so remade the Five Maidens and the Pattern Spider Queen into one being; The Maiden of Weaving.

This left Ananasa out in the cold. She awaits there today, in Malfeas. She is the key to restoring the Five Maidens, the missing part.

The Weaver on the other hand is so much more, and yet so much less, than the Maidens ever were.
