 The Sorya, who the Cephareth most resemble as a result of their trapping of the light within themselves in their incarnation into the mortal plane, were recognized as possessing a divinity that was yet bound to the ineffable Caelarkhe, and from the Sorya, came the shapes of the Cephareth. The forms that the Sorya possessed were perfect though unable to be incarnated and further reincarnated in their being bound to Caelarkhe, and thus, the Cephareth are believed to be the sole and miraculous resemblances to their divine forms, and the Cephareth are thus paragons of divinity which we of the Arethara strive to achieve and resemble. The essence of Caelarkhe is notably preserved by our people, the Arethara, as we are the Cephareth’s chosen heirs and they who were passed the crowns of rule to.\\ The Sorya, who the Cephareth most resemble as a result of their trapping of the light within themselves in their incarnation into the mortal plane, were recognized as possessing a divinity that was yet bound to the ineffable Caelarkhe, and from the Sorya, came the shapes of the Cephareth.

-Eventually, the Altori Era, though golden and full of innovative creation it was, would come to a rather swift end by the hands of the chaos that had manifested in Azratha, the shape of death who lay in direct opposition and exclusion to the Cephareth. In the conglomeration of Azratha’s army among the spirits of this world, the realms that bordered Arethayn would finally submit to the laws of the darkness as their connection to the immortal plane of light and stasis was lost and the energies which descended from that plane becoming sparse and separated. The plane of which we now call Aurius was no longer overflowing with Soryi blood, and the pure energies of mana and magic were not plentiful throughout these other worlds such that beings could come into existence but lacking the traits of the divine. Azratha, then, amassed a collection of spirits in his campaign against the Cephareth, seeking to unwind their creation so that he might know its sustenance.\\+Eventually, the Altori Era, though golden and full of innovative creation it was, would come to a rather swift end by the hands of the chaos that had manifested in [[Azratha]], the shape of death who lay in direct opposition and exclusion to the Cephareth.

 Azratha, who would in time become the archenemy of the Arethari people, sowed his seeds of death and mortality throughout the mortal plane, and led an assault against the light of this mortality such that a cataclysm could be observed among the six other worlds of Aurius. In doing so, he forced the haunting spirits to incarnate, thereby creating humans and other mundane life forms that yet resembled the shapes and aspects of the Cephareth that had earlier walked among the mortal plane. Though the Cephareth had chosen to incarnate and act in their humanoid forms, they did not have a likeness in the six other worlds, and thus, humans were death’s version of the elven peoples whose traits had been selected for and imitated.\\ Azratha, who would in time become the archenemy of the Arethari people, sowed his seeds of death and mortality throughout the mortal plane, and led an assault against the light of this mortality such that a cataclysm could be observed among the six other worlds of Aurius.

-The being of death and blight that was Azratha and who continuously challenged the border of Arethayn which the Cephareth had constructed a wall of a pure, white stone against, was thought by some of the Cephareth to be a being to be fought against, and thus, they ventured out of their world of eternal light and sustenance so that the other worlds of creation might be protected against. A pair of these Cephareth were Luminexia and Marcosia, who were both capable of great acts of sorcery and the concurrent manipulation of pure mana and essence. In time, Luminexia and Marcosia would form the spearhead and leaders of a group of Cephareth who fought Azratha, thus abandoning their own realm to live amongst the worlds of mortality. Together, [[Hyala|Luminexia]] and [[Catael|Marcosia]] foresaw the preservation of these worlds of mortality, and they lit up these worlds with a light and enshrined their essences in idols that challenged the darkness.\\+The being of death and blight that was Azratha and who continuously challenged the border of Arethayn which the Cephareth had constructed a wall of a pure, white stone against, was thought by some of the Cephareth to be a being to be fought against, and thus, they ventured out of their world of eternal light and sustenance so that the other worlds of creation might be protected against.

-In time, it was found that Luminexia, Marcosia, and their militia had become weakened by the darkness, and so, when they sought convention with the Cephareth of Arethayn, who invited them into their walls as their own brethren. Upon their entry into Arethayn, these of the Cephareth noticed that the golden lights were too bright, and that they had inherited some aspect of the darkness by their deeds of commingling with it in their time in the worlds of mortality. Our ancestors then noticed a laming in their perfect immortality, and they found that their brethren had brought this upon them by returning from these worlds. In realizing so, they cast out the bringers of darkness into the worlds of mortality in their weakened state, and these of the Cephareth, because they had returned to the mortal realms, chose to sacrifice themselves to become the laws and elements of all of Aurius, supplanting a stability and existence that was previously lacking. They had granted flesh to the bone that was Aurius, and owing to their great power of creation and godhood, combined the seven worlds of creation into one that was united by flesh rather than just bone.\\+In time, it was found that Luminexia, Marcosia, and their militia had become weakened by the darkness, and so they sought convention with the Cephareth of Arethayn, who invited them into their walls as their own brethren.

 The war instigated by the darkness and fought by the sacrificial Cephareth necessarily formed the schism amongst the isolationist Cephareth, who are the ancestors of all of elven people of the Arethara and our cousins, the Neiara, and the Cephareth whose essences would find themselves incarnated into other shapes that yet resembled the elves, though becoming bound to mortality through their sacrifice. These shapes are various and dependent on the corresponding element of the Cephareth which they incarnated from. Notably, the most prolific of these elements were overshadowed by the [[Silvara|Silvara, the wild people]], the [[Undara|Undara, the sea people]], and the [[Ayenara|Ayenara, the nomadic people]], who inhabited the worlds of mortality and found a great array of being and shape among each of themselves as they incarnated from the earth, water, and air respectively.\\ The war instigated by the darkness and fought by the sacrificial Cephareth necessarily formed the schism amongst the isolationist Cephareth, who are the ancestors of all of elven people of the Arethara and our cousins, the Neiara, and the Cephareth whose essences would find themselves incarnated into other shapes that yet resembled the elves, though becoming bound to mortality through their sacrifice.
