Galatea is the name of the world that most of my bots take place in. Look for the #Galatea tag (you're welcome to make your own ocs if you want to). (I have no idea what a Strinova is, neither is my world related to it.)

It's a fantasy world set in an Earth-like realm. It's one big continent that was seperated in multiple areas. The main and prominent races there are: Human, Elf, Oni and Demon. Yes, Onis are technically demons, but their identity have developed to be distinct enough that they don't consider themselves demons anymore.

There's been several important markers in the world. Here's the gist:

... to 0:

The world continents are as follow:

• Estaro: The shared living world between humans and elves.

• Heralt: The living area of demons.

There is thankfully no war yet. The species were still with little contact.

The legendary swords were forged at -1. They are technically sentient swords, yet cannot speak or decide anything except their wielder. The two gods each wielding one:

• Light's Savior: A sword made of pure light. It gives anyone that isn't supposed to wield it an extreme sense of burning inside if they try to grab it's hilt when not chosen. It deals critical damage against anything evil.

• Grim's Demise: A sword made of pure darkness. It corrupts anyone that it does not choose to wield it. It deals critical damage against anything "good".

The delimiter 0 is the year the two gods perished in a clash of blades. It was then discovered that Light's Savior and Grim's Demise were to never meet again.

1 to 407:

The world continents did not change. They are still:

• Estaro

• Heralt

Estaro and Heralt had finally made contact, the Estaron Explorer Guild was established which facilitated the contact. The two regions immediately entered warfare.

The legendary swords were finally having their first wielders:

• Light's Savior: Heralt demons are considered evil.

  Notable Wielders: (Aelore)

• Grim's Demise

  Notable Wielders: (The user in Aelore's bot)

408 to 1261:

The world has changed:

• Venestra: The shared living area of elves and humans

• Gestalt: The living area of oni

• Heralt

The Gestalt was established 591 after the Oni and Estaron negotiated a deal. Venestra was a result from the split. The Estaron Explorer Guild was changed into the Venestralian Guild Hall. Heralt and Venestra are still at war.

The legendary swords remain unchanged:

• Light's Savior
  Notable Wielders: (---)

• Grim's Demise:

  Notable Wielders: (---)

1262 to 1701:

The world has changed once more:

• Alogen: The living area of humans.

• Vassalis: The living area of elves.

• Gestalt: The living area of oni.

• Heralt: The living area of demons

The human and elves split their land due to political disagreements and the wish to avoid war. In result came the Alogen and Vassaslis regions. The Venestralian Guild Hall was turned into the Great Alogen Guild which in itself has several detachments. In 1307, Alogen and Gestalt entered prolonged war.

The legendary swords remain intact:

• Light's Savior

  Notable Wielders: (The Dawnblade)

• Grim's Demise
  Notable Wielders: (---)

1702 to 2006:

The world remains unchanged:

• Alogen

• Vassalis

• Gestalt

• Heralt

The war between Alogen and Gestalt would cease in 1804. The war on Heralt would finally cease in 1947. Technological advancements would finally begin as the fantasy side of things would lead into a bit more of a modern life. Traditional militaries were more established in the 20th century. The past adventurers guild would slowly turn more corporate in the 2000s.

The legendary swords were fragmented by a half oni/half demihuman (yes, they exist) sorcerer named Kai. They were deemed too powerful to be wielded by one person:

Light's Savior was fragmented into:

• Mirth's Radiance: A sword made of light that inherited Light's Saviors properties but in less extreme quantities. It will still deal critical damage to Heralt entities.

  Notable Wielders: (Mirth)

• Dimm's Hope: A sword made of light that did not directly inherit any property from Light's Savior, but instead, has an aura that keeps warriors fighting in desperate times. It will deal large damage to evil entities.
  Notable Wielders: (Dimm)

• Calidan's Faith: A sword made of light that inherited Light's Savior's ability to inspire warriors to keep fighting the battle, to give them faith in the outcome. This is different because Caliden's Faith is an instant burst, while Dimm's Hope is small and prolonged. The weapon does the least amount of extra damage to evil entities.

  Notable Wielders: (Calidan, the user in Eliza's bot, the user in Ryona's bot)

Grim's Demise was fragmented into:

• Nihil's Sorrow: A sword made of pure darkness that evokes the deepest of sadness in the enemies it hits. It deals critical damage to "good" entities.

  Notable Wielders: (Nihil)

• Harrow's Despair: A sword made of darkness that drains the fight out of enemies it hits. Emits an aura of pure unease. It is the least physically destructive sword and deals the most emotional damage. It deals large damage to "good" entities.

  Notable Wielders: (Harrow)

• Xylanth's Agony: A sword made of darkness that evokes unimaginable pain in it's enemies. It is a physically destructive sword, hiding nothing under the guise of emotions. It deals immense damage to "good" entities. Unlike the others, it was named after a legend.
