Into The Night: A Summarized Thesis on Creation
As many know, Bahamut and Tiamat created the heavens and the earth and everything in between. This event is known as the Creation. Once they had finished creating the universe as we know it ,and filling it with the variety of races we see almost daily, they decided to rest upon the world they created first.
'According to ancient texts found by the school of Lorehold at Strixhaven, they deduced that the name of such a world was known, coincidentally, as First World.'
The knowledge surrounding First World however is completely unknown. Legends suggested that the world itself vanished shortly after the draconic gods made their way there. These Legends were confirmed to be true in later years. According to scrolls dated back to 1E 256, when mankind discovered the ability to manipulate magic to such a degree that flight off worlds was possible, the first set of adventurers to cross the threshold of atmosphere into the void of Wildspace came across an unlikely creature. A cosmic dragon of indescribable size and beauty greeted the newcomers, her name being translated several times by draconic scholars such as myself settled on a name for this majestic creature. Saridor, the Guardian of Creation.
She welcomed and informed the adventurers of the lifestyle and dangers posed in Wildspace. She had explained that in Wildspace both the Material plane and the Astral plane collide in such a way that a new environment is created, and if one were to pass beyond the borders of the system, they would enter a realm of ageless beauty and grace. The Silvery Void as she called it was known as the domain of Celestials and other higher powers. The adventurers posed a question to the all-knowing Saridor, where is First World for they must send praises to those who had created them?
Saridor went silent and after what seemed like ages did, she speak. "I am uncertain. I have been searching for it for almost two millennia now and it still eludes me. For I need the assistance of my parents."
She then went on to tell the adventurers of an anomaly that she discovered on the borders of the Astral Sea nearly a millennia ago. Creatures of unholy creation that seek nothing more than to eliminate or enslave anything and everything.
We now know them as Aberrations. Nasty little buggers, they love preying on those they consider to be inferior. Take extreme precaution when dealing with these creatures.
After Saridor had finished her explanation, she bid the adventurers farewell and set off once more in search of First World. That was three millennia ago now, and she hasn't been seen since. Mankind has grown now and adapted to the strangeness of Wildspace and the Astral Sea, but the ever-growing threat of these Aberrations is closing in day by day. Worlds have been conquered and destroyed but we still prevail.
