Pangaia

Pangaia is the foundational planet of the Privaria Reality and the eternal battleground of the Game between Hope and Dispair. While mortal inhabitants measure its age in ancient terms, littered with ruins of old gods; in cosmic time, it is paradoxically one of the younger worlds in the multiverse.

Cosmic Genesis and The NoWhere Connection

The world's existence began with a singular, reality-defining event that positioned it at the heart of all creation. Privaria was the first reality created where Estel, the NoWhere One and Creator of all things, did not perish during a Big Bang while escaping NoWhere. This monumental event allowed Estel to finally appear in corporeal form with her twin daughters, Noel and Marybelle.

The raw magic of Estel created Pangaia, which is where her physical form along with her daughters reformed after the Big Bang, stepping out into the vast world of Pangaia, which was created by Estel and her daughters as they descended the Stairway to NoWhere, to the world of Pangaia.

The raw magic of Pangaia and the three NoWhere Ones connected the new Privaria Reality, instantly making it the center of the multiverse. This metaphysical status is anchored by the Stairway to Nowhere, the cosmic portal where Estel first descended from the void.

To prevent Malroth from following, Estel used Meta magic for the first time, calling upon the powers of Time, inadvertently summoning the younger brother of Voidrik, Tideral to her. Together they sealed the rift to NoWhere with powerful Time magic that would hold until the birth of their daughter, Rhea. Who would create the multiverse, connecting all Realities.

The land is fundamentally seeping with magic, affecting all who dwell here. It is the birthplace of countless Eldvar, as all forms of magic are possible on this world.

Historical Eras and Eldvar Rule

Following the cosmic event known as the Reset, Pangaia became the designated homeworld for many powerful entities.

The Crafter Gods: After the Reset, the planet was given to the Crafter Gods, who shaped its distinct regions and birthed the modern Beastfolk races:

• Crimeria (Frozen Northlands): Home of the Minotaurs, created by Pharek and Serene.
• Swamps: Home of the Lizardfolk, created by Drakoth.
• Zupana (Oasis): Home of the Ivork Ginara, cultivated by Lisa and Ellisum.
• Dracia: Home of Kobolds and Dragonfolk, Created by Kelvach
• Gadetoria: Vast ocean kingdom of the Frogfolk: Created by Gob

The Eldvar & Beastfolk: The planet is predominantly populated by Beastfolk, their societies often governed by or paying tribute to the local Eldvar presence (such as the Ageless Prince in Shell Guark or the Emerald Lord in Wendertara Forest).

The Game and The Threat of Misery

Pangaia is the physical location where the Game, the eternal battle between Hope and Despair, is played.

• The Stone Table: The entire world's stability is reliant on the Stone Table, which is anchored near the Stairway to Nowhere to prevent the return of Malroth.
• The Main Antagonist: The overarching enemy of all players and Beastfolk is Misery, the corrupted twin of Noel. She actively seeks to destroy the Stone Table, unleashing Malroth from the void of NoWhere and ending the current reality.
