The History of the Ninth Realm

In the beginning there was the big bang.

An enormous bundle of space,time, energy, and matter exploded from an undetected source and spread out at lightspeed across the expanse. When the universe was born, the base energies, elements, and matter remained in what is now called the ninth realm. In the beginning there were no realms, no order, no law. Then came forth the gods. There were many powerful beings that came forth from the big bang, but three came to take the place of authority and position over all others. These were Azathoth, the god of light, Apocolothoth, the god of space-time, and Illuvatar, the god of life and nature. There were other beings at that time known as the Elementals who emerged as living embodiments of the elements in their purest form. They were subservient to the gods but eventually rebelled when the time to create life came about. The elementals were:
Izanagi - Lightning
Izanami - Water
Izanari - Fire
Izanazi - Wind
Izanadi - Earth


Apocolothoth divided the universe into nine realms. The highest realms, those closest to Eternity and where the big bang was thought to have originated, contained the most powerful energy and matter. The lower realms had the diluted versions of the same energies and matter that originated from the first. Hence, light in the sixth realm is brighter and more powerful than light in the third. Water exists in all realms, but is different and more potent the higher the realm you go into.

That being said, Azathoth organized and gave order to the constellations, and Iluvatar organized matter and gave it animation. In the ninth realm, there were two royal and principle races. The Aesir on Arda, and the Vanir on Varda. The Aesir were the first born race in the ninth realm, and given the most beautiful and plenteous planet. The Vanir were the second born and children of the Elementals. The largest star in the ninth realm is called Enya, and it is the kingdom of Azathoth were he and his sepharim reside. When Arda was created by Illuvatar, the first beings he created were the Ibrim, a race of sentient plant life that dominated the entire world, land and sea. After them were created all manner of beasts, insects and nearly infinite variety of living entities; it is said that the original version of all life forms originated on Arda. Eventually, there was created Gan-Eden, the pride of Illuvatar’s creations and the birthplace of all life forms he made. In Eden, he placed the most unique Ibrim and guarded the sacred bacteria-cells known as Midi-chlorians; the most base building blocks of all life.

Illuvatar created a superior race of beings to guard Eden, and they were known as the Furyans. After them, he created a race in his own image - the Aesir. Though the Furyans were the most powerful beings, he gave rulership to the Aesir over all of Arda. It came to pass that on Varda, an enormous moon, there were the Vanir. The Vanir were a race of giant cyclops with an enormous Tenseigan as their eye. They were not mindless, but lacked the self-awareness that the Aesir possessed. Izanagi, the lightning goddess, was beautiful and deceitful. And she snuck into Arda and seduced the leader of the Furyans, Samayaza. Samayaza was convinced that he could have Izanagi if he gave her one of the trees in Eden. So he, and a few of his captains, conspired to steal Yiggradsil, the tree of wisdom, from Eden and gave it to Izanagi. Izanagi then took this tree, which later became the god tree/juubi, and allowed her Vanir to eat of it. Immediately they were transformed into more beautiful and intelligent beings with two eyes and a more comely appearance. They would later be known as the Ootstutsuki.

Upon this rebellion, Azathoth called for the extinction of the Furyan race. Hence, the sepharim from the kingdom of light descended on Arda and went to war with the Furyans and killed 97% of them. The 3% left were sealed inside of the nine moons of Oa (which were the throne of Apocolothoth), and kept in a world of drunken dreams until the day of judgment.

From that point forward, the Aesir built their kingdoms all over Arda and thrived. Eden was taken away and hidden somewhere the Aesir never found, and the Vanir began to quickly create the most advanced and powerful civilization in all of the ninth realm.
The leader of the Vanir was a man named Nimrod, and their capital city was called Babylon. The Aesir and Vanir hated one another, and were constantly at war for territory and supremacy. The Aesir were ruled by twelve princes and one king. The king was named Aldoron, the son of the first Aeserian. His twelve sons were the twelve kingdoms on the planet, and his daughter, Theophania, was the leader of an elite valkyrie guild that protected the throne. The war leaned on the side of the Vanir and things looked bleak for quite some time, until the emergence of an unusual warrior on Arda.
Mithrandir was found drifting in a basket on a river that flowed into the sector of the priests. He was taken and raised as a priest and brought to the throne of Aldoron as choir leader as he had a gift for singing. It was soon discovered that the boy had unusual potential as measured by the Aesir, and was quickly adopted into the kingdom and trained as a warrior. Mithrandir and Theophania, the princess, grew up together. Mithrandir quickly grew to become the most powerful warrior in all of Arda as a youth, and changed the tide of the war by the time he was sixteen years of age (humanly speaking). The son of Nimrod, Kurotsuchi, was 18 at the time, but not participating in the war of his father. He was heir to the throne and the most powerful of the princes, but the least power hungry. Kurotsuchi disagreed with his fathers’s philosophy, and decided to take a colony of his own Vanirians who shared his beliefs to another world to live in peace. As the war began to intensify, so did the young Vanirian’s desire to defect.

During the climax of the war, it became clear that Nimrod’s goal was to unlock/unleash the old Furyans who were bound and imprisoned. A war ensued all across the ninth realm, and Nimrod met his arch nemsis - Mithrandir, on the great moon of Akaad. Mithrandir plunged his great blade into the heart of Nimrod, killing him, just before the moon imploded; the warrior being taken shortly before the blast…

Kurotsuchi’s people arrived on their world, only to be met by a fearless woman and her army, who’d followed the prince there. Seeing no other option, the prince decided to take up arms to defend the future of his people.
Theophania and Kurotsuchi’s people began to fight when a bright light came over all and both Kuro and tTheophania vanished.
