Cyria

Cyria was an ancient civilisation that existed 2000 years before the events of the story.

History of Cyria
Cyria was a highly advanced civilisation. The Humans back then were vastly stronger and more attuned to utilising magic than those of the current age, they were able to develop and make use of the Array system in a much more efficient way as a result of this. They had advanced thanks to the presence of the Gods in their governing and management. This relience on the Gods caused corruption amongst the divine beings as the humans competed against each other for their favour. Those who found favour with the gods were granted elevated status in society while those who displeased were subjected to a miserable existance, creating a vast gap between the poor and rich and eventually being the basis for a revolution.

Impact of Cyria
Amongst those who had found favour with the Gods, there were those who felt this corruption amongst both humans and Gods was too much and attempted to make changes. In hopes of creating a world where the relience on Gods was not needed, the Vilrukain family along with many others worked to create the Catalyst Seed in secrecy. It was a device intended to absorb much of the God's powers in order to distribute it over the world creating a more even balance of power amongst those who were considered 'Divine' and those who were just humans. However unforeseen circumstances caused the formation of the Catalyst Seed to be beyond disastrous, destroying much of humanity as well as the Gods. The Seed set humanity back far into the medieval ages and weakened them to only a fraction of their former power. Their Gods lost, their affinity to magic all but diminished. The remaining humans rallied and worked together to survive under the leadership of Thorcrest Vilrukain. Shortly after the incident, a strange race that called Vitae are discovered and become an intregal part of human life.
