Ancient Naterra[]
Nattera was once a dangerous world ruled by beasts and spirits where the inhabitants struggled to survive. One girl desperately clinged to hope to save those she loved and was given the power to create Aether by a wandering mage. With her new power, the girl became Viridia Magna and Naterra became lush and prosperous.
The inhabitants of Naterra thrived and developed into an advanced civilzation. However, the civilization's acceleration was pushed forward by a company called Centralis, who presented Viridia Magna as a power source called the Virgo Mechanism. Centralis, led by a researcher who was actually a keeper's vessel, manipulated events so Viridia Magna's power would be depleted by the people, who were clueless about the true nature of the Virgo Mechanism, and cause a shortage of aether. A worker named Girad was assigned to complete a device that would supposedly extract more power from the Virgo Mechanism, only to discover that the device was meant to drain Viridia Magna of all her power.
Viridia Magna was put into a deep sleep to recover her power and without her aether, the civilization was unable to maintain itself and was destroyed by a resource shortage that led to famine and war until all was destroyed.
When Viridia Magna awoke, she saw Naterra and been destroyed and created new life. However, her fears that her creations would subject her to such pain again allowed her to become influenced by the keeper Nerva. Through Nerva's influence, Viridia Magna became corrupted and trapped in her memories of being experimented on as the Virgo Mechanism. In that state, she created a blight to destroy Naterra for what happened to her, being spurred on by Nerva.
Modern Naterra[]
After the destruction of their previous civilization, a new Naterra arises whose civilization, unlike the previous one, focused on nature and not science. Viridia Magna came to be seen as the goddess who created this new world. However, Viridia Magna goes on a rampage and threatens the land with annihilation. Its inhabitants either accept their fate or seek to bring the goddess down. These philosophies split them into two faction, Mánagarmr and Sköll, and a war eventually breaks out between both sides.
Sköll[]
Sköll is a faction led by the Forest King, Bayleon, who want to prevent Viridia Magna from being destroyed by Mánagarmr. They believes that whatever Virida Magna does, she has the right to do so as the creator of Naterra. Additionally, it is believed the destruction she creates is part of a cycle, and there a natural process that should not be defied.
Mánagarmr[]
Mánagarmr is a faction created and led by Valdain that seeks to destroy Viridia Magna before her blight destroys Naterra. Unbeknownst to anyone except Major Meowskers, Valdain founded Mánagarmr to set himself up as the villain for Bayleon to slay so the latter could become a hero and recognized as the rightful king.
