ABOUT

A universe of possibilities. Where magic comes from the stars above and beings of great power shape the worlds and creatures we've come to understand. Our adventures take place in one unique solar system, powered by a wonderful star called Ptuolu.

Ptitheros is an open-end ARPG community. ARPG stands for art-roleplaying game, which means you draw (or write) about your characters to earn rewards and take part in community and closed species activities.

Main Event

Chronicles Ch. 3 - Garden of Darkness

Chronicles is the overarching story of Ptitheros! Here, the many unique characters from all backgrounds collide to further a big story that affects the plot of the world itself. Chronicles will encompass many different features of the world and will dip into mysterious lore that is strewn throughout Ptitheros' past. So much is ready to be discovered!

Participating characters will learn what happened to the world before the current kin species took over. What existed on Ptitheros while it was a magmatic wasteland floating through space? Why are there four Architects rather than one and why did most of them vanish from the public eye after so many years of interaction? What can be done about the unstable magic creeping around every corner of the Ancient Archives, and is it possible that the kin of today may eventually disappear just like the mysterious Colossals did?

HISTORY

Aura is everything. Our power, our history, our future, is all led by a mysterious energy radiating from beyond the stars. Ptitheros was once a thriving world where the Architects guided creatures to greatness, but one day, the Architects vanished, leaving their kin to fend for themselves. Ptithians learned to cooperate with one another, melting their religions and cultures together to create kingdoms that dominate select regions. The wilderness remains in-charge, the dark beasts of the sky keep everything in check, and an equalibrium was reached soon enough for the planet to sustain itself without its Architects.

Since then, centuries have gone by. Kingdoms grew bigger, technology and magic has advanced, and society has moved forward at a great pace. Ptithians are no longer confined to the rules of gravity nor gods, they can see their beautiful planet from space and science has harnessed natural aura to a fair degree. But, despite all this progress, a mysterious threat looms on the horizon.

For what really happened to the Architects? Why did they dissapear, why has one decided to stay, will they ever come back? Was it /our/ fault for their abandonment, or does something almighty lurk in the darkness, pushing the gods away from their kin.

Despite the rarity, four Architects chose a planet. One they would craft together. They shaped it to their liking and brought life to it. The planet evolved and they divided it up between each other. Nature thrives without interference until 34000 A.A.

ELLEVSWACYN ERA [E.D. ERA]
The Architects create the first sapient creatures. There were the western, northern, and eastern dragons. Western dragons came from Cymer in the depths of the jungle. Northern dragons came from Edenlline in the vast mountains. Eastern dragons came from Meldr'uno in the arid steppe. The settlements of Sequendalar, Chaveri Capital, and Tucruitora Capital were made. The northern dragons complained to their Architect. "The west have spare talons and the east are gifted with infinite flight, what may we have?" This angered Edenlline, so to spite the east and west she created gryphons.

Proper Affiliations were formed and were used to identify. They included Sagekins, Sequns, and Ola'mels. Exploration into the vast world continued and species and cultures began to mix. Swa Veduro left Edenlline and fled south. They became the South Cardinal and formed the Swavvel Affiliation. Meldr'uno was selfish. He did not enjoy the merging of cultures and wanted a kin unique to Him. He discarded the eastern dragons and Ola'mel ideals, then created lefikas and the Tucruit Affiliation. A civil war between dragons and gryphons in Chaveri erupted. Many gryphons fled north and many Chaverians changed to different Affiliations to distance themselves from Edenlline.

Having lost many followers, Edenlline let jealousy take Her again. She created a new kin species called the rubasyn. They were Her new toys. Exploration, expansion, species mixing, cultural mixing, it all continued on. New smaller settlements formed across Ptitheros.

CARDALIN ERA [C.E. ERA]
Swa Veduro abandoned the North and created Their own territory in the southwest. Pab'Zuaan was founded and became one of the key kingdoms. Pab'Zuaan attracted Ptithians from all over, creating a culturally mixed kingdom from the beginning. The civil wars in Chaveri created migrations out of the kingdom. Many gryphons traveled farther into the North Maw Peninsula and founded the Wyndgale kingdom. Wyndgale and Sequ'Manko would have good connections. Rubasyns eventually discovered that Edenlline intended to trap them in Chaveri forever to do her bidding. A resistance formed with intentions to escape and abandon the Cardinal. Many rubasyns left Chaveri and Edenlline thought they eventually would come crawling back to her, but she was proven wrong. This was called the Coil Leaiv.

The migration led to a more stable Braeyc and the foundation of the Nox kingdom in the northern floating isles. Nox soon grew to become one of the most powerful kingdoms. The North was disrupted and the East attacked, starting the Sand and Stone War. Chaveri and Tucruitora fought, Edenlline and Meldr'uno fought, leading to a heavy amount of aura being released. It was catastrophe, the ground began to break. What was once lush forests became the dangerous, decaying Aurix Caesin. The city of Chaveri fell into the hearth. It continued to thrive despite the circumstances due to the strength of its people rather than its Cardinal. Eventually, Chaveri would die out. Too many raids, too much sickness. Windiages would soon be all that remained.

Cardinals began disappearing, slowly. Swa Veduro was first. They told their soothsayers they would be leaving to speak with Cymer and they never returned. Some say they were consumed by the ocean, some say they were betrayed by another god. Aodora became queen of Pab'Zuaan, starting a new royalty. The Vedluns saw this as blasphemous and left to found Kilaan, Psollo. Then, Cymer would vanish. After Swa left, Cymer grew distant. One day he simply retreated into the Cyme Ruins (Ancient Archives) and was never seen again. The first Cheiftan role was made after that, given to a dragon named Tochzho.

CHYMARITHE AFTERMATH ERA [C.A. ERA]
The shamans of the West predicted a calamity at Chaarm bay. Pab'Zuaan was going to be hit by a massive hurricane. It destroyed coastal settlements, leaving Bivnix in shambles and allowing the underwater city to claim the capital title. In time, the kingdom recovered. All the settlements much more independent than before. Chaveri has since been overtaken by nature. The ruins and caverns ripe for reclamation. A large group of Ptithians took over the territory and became the Aurix Clan. Sequ'Manko's capital was burned during a short war known as The Raining Fire. The Mankians blamed Tucruitora, but it was all organized by two cults: the Radical-Tucruits and the Lace-Ups. Mankians in the inner city fled and the government has been struggling to reorganize since. Pab'Zuaan, Wyndgale and Kilaan received most of the refugees.

Soon after, Tucruitora kingdom law underwent changes. Male lefikas and lefika mixes were given the same rights as (pure) females. Acceptance grew and has since become commonplace. The Aurix Clan was ravaged by windiages and had to abandon their home. Most of the clan migrated south and founded Woarii. Kingdoms and cultures are still rebuilding from past mistakes, but an era of peace has since befallen the world and scientific advancements have taken precedence.

TECHNOLOGY

• Technology is based on a solarpunk/biopunk aesthetic, Ptitheros technology is built from a mixture of natural materials, minimal metal, and captured aura. Aura functions as electricity, so tech has reached a varying degree of modernity. From vine-covered space ships to runes that broadcast radio channels.
• Ptitheros is an advanced world!
• Technology built on solarpunk/biopunk/steampunk themes!
• Only natural materials, minimal metal, and aura (magic) is electricity.
