The History of Purgatorium


– Time Measurement:

The universe's time was standardized when The Great Awakening occurred and magic flowed throughout the universe once again, and Earthlings began to venture into space and roam other planets. The standard time is considered “Galactic Years.”

Each year has 15 months.
Each month is made up of 38 days.
Each week is made up of 7 days.
The format of dates are made up as follows – Year.Month.Day

Time In Memorial


     It is unknown how old the universe is. There are some that believe it to be four billion years old and others who believe the universe is much older. Some cultures attribute the creation of the world to science and natural phenomenon, and others believe it was created by an All-Powerful God that presides over the universe. The truth is that this universe was birthed from the mind of a God who is simple known as The One Above All. Next to nothing is known about this interdimensional being, and very few believe that it actually exists. Only the pantheon of the twelve creator gods truly acknowledges their progenitor’s existence.

     The first world to be created by The One Above All was Eden. It was blessed with a connection to the invisible energies that circulated the universe. The original versions of various races and species were bequeathed to Eden. For a time it was considered the perfect world. It was free of war, pestilence, famine and even death. However that didn’t last for long. Indara, the God of War created his chosen race the Djet, who hailed from the planet Isfet. Isfet was a flawed planet. The magical circuits that sprawled beneath its crust and encompassed the planet weren’t nearly as strong as Eden’s. The inhabitants were gifted with magical powers, but their land was not prosperous and healthy. The air was stifling and the sky had grown black with smog. Under the leadership of their Immortal Emperor Reth the Djet Empire fled their home world in search of a new place to call home. It took decades, but eventually the Djet Empire located Eden.

     The people of Indara and the people of Asura went to war with one another for nearly a thousand years. During the seemingly never ending clash The One Above All created a second planet that he would bequeath to his 12 children. It is unknown by he chose this time period to begin constructing another planet, but some presume the creator was displeased by Eden’s fate. This second planet that was created was none other than Earth. The creator did not create a perfect world as he had with Eden. It was flawed, but those flaws made it a masterpiece in the eyes of the creator. Slowly the children of the pantheon were allowed to populate the Earth with what they deemed their greatest creations. The Earth evolved over in the millions of years that followed its inception and humanity became it’s dominate race.

     For a great many eons the universe appeared to be at peace. The wars that once ravaged Eden came to an end and the people of Earth fought one another in the equally bloody arena of ideology. The pantheon believed that their role in the universe had been finished. There was nothing more to create, and their creations no longer sought their guidance and strength. However, everything changed when the planet Gaia was born. Without forewarning his children the creator birthed a new planet from seemingly nothing. The sudden appearance of Gaia shook the galaxy’s very foundations as it took the place of the black hole that rested at the center of the galaxy. An immeasurable amount of magical energies were hurled into the galaxy. Both Eden and Earth were impacted by the supernatural wave. The magic that was once lost to Earth was returned and a mysterious gateway that had the power to link Earth, Eden and the newly formed Gaia appeared. This event became known as The Great Awakening.
