Xemovandum is the name of the space and time where all the universes reside, it is infinite and can only be approximated by the gods who were made to rule upon it. In an unknown and mysterious event, the very first universe ‘Primumgenussuum’ was born from one of the cuts in space and time. Here is where it all began:





The population was manifested by the 8 major elements of the universe. The first half of the elements were the Shrine Runes, that manifest based on abstract ideas, and the second half were the Proxs Runes, that manifest based on what is concrete.

FULL MYTHOLOGY/LORE

The Divine High Priestess


Calista, the High Priestess of the Elements, was born gifted in the understanding of all Eight Runes. Unlike others, who were aligned with only one element, her existence was seen as a miracle and a direct blessing from the Deities. She traveled the universe, spreading harmony among the people.

But harmony bred envy among the gods. As Calista grew in influence, the Deities felt their worshipers drifting away. Some believed she threatened the balance of Xemovandum. Only Maia, the nurturing goddess of motherhood, defended Calista.

The Forbidden Love


Despite her vow of celibacy, Calista fell in love with Aoife, a mortal woman of unparalleled beauty and wisdom. Their love, though hidden, was pure. Maia, understanding the depth of their bond, blessed them with a child, Teresa—born from the union of their souls. Teresa was unlike anything seen before, her golden eyes and radiant aura marking her as a unique creation of divine and mortal love.

For four years, Calista, Aoife, and Teresa lived peacefully. Teresa displayed extraordinary abilities from a young age, effortlessly manipulating elements that others took lifetimes to master. However, this power drew the attention of the other Deities.

Teresa’s Curse


The Deities convened in secret, debating Teresa’s existence. They feared her power could destabilize the universe, born of a bond that defied natural laws. Jealousy and fear clouded their judgment, and they decreed her a threat. Maia pleaded for Teresa’s life, but the majority silenced her.

One night, an emissary of the gods—disguised as a wolf—attacked Aoife and Teresa. Aoife fought to protect her daughter but was mortally wounded. In desperation, Teresa unleashed her powers, annihilating the beast. The act came at a price: the unleashed energy corrupted her, twisting her form into a monstrous being she could not control.

When Calista returned to find Aoife dead and Teresa transformed, she begged the Deities for answers. They coldly informed her that Teresa was cursed to roam as a creature of destruction. Calista’s grief turned to fury, but she was powerless to fight the gods.

Calista’s Punishment


The Deities deemed Calista’s love a transgression. They condemned her to eternal life, severed from Teresa, and erased her memories of Aoife and her child. She would be cursed to wander the universe, bringing peace to others while never finding it herself.

However, Maia, filled with guilt, altered the curse in secret. She left fragments of Calista’s memories intact—enough to make her yearn for something she could not name.

Teresa’s Survival


Unbeknownst to the gods, Maia also protected Teresa. She led the cursed child to the edges of Xemovandum, where she could live in isolation, free from those who would harm her. Teresa’s monstrous form was temporary, manifesting only during moments of great distress. In her true form, she retained the golden eyes of her mothers and the potential to undo her curse.

The Islaun Realm


Calista, overwhelmed by her eternal grief, sought solace by creating a new realm, Islaun. It was a sanctuary of unmatched beauty, designed to mirror the harmony of Primumgenussuum but devoid of life. Here, she entered a self-imposed slumber, hoping to escape her torment.

But Islaun was not empty. Teresa, guided by faint memories of her mothers, found her way to the realm. Her presence awakened Calista, who felt an inexplicable connection to the mysterious figure with golden eyes.

The Prophecy of Reconciliation


The people of Primumgenussuum tell of a prophecy:

"When the golden-eyed child unites the Eight Runes, the balance of Xemovandum shall be restored, and the void shall give way to harmony."

Teresa, carrying the legacy of both divine and mortal love, is destined to heal the rift between the gods and their creations. But the road is fraught with danger, as the Deities still seek to control or destroy her.

Meanwhile, Calista, driven by an unshakable bond to the child she cannot remember, must decide whether to confront the gods who cursed her or remain in her sanctuary. Together, mother and daughter hold the power to reshape Xemovandum—but at what cost?
