Information about the PTA Universe

Set in a world with 3 continents on a planet called the Nether World, the series starts at 403 PE (Peaceful Era) where a boy is conceived by a Divine race from before 700 AE (Archaic Era) and a dryad. The world is not bound by anything like mana instead power comes from innate talents and abilities, that someone hones through the years.

Ascending essentially earns you the right to have "immortality". This is gained by people worshipping you or gaining enough stories for people to talk about you. When this happens a small amount of life force is transferred to your body from the world allowing one to live forever and immortal in name.

Transcendent beings are those who choose the path of honing their skills to be on the level of gods that have ascended. This can sometimes lead to a breakthrough allowing one to live for long periods of time.

Different Eras:

Age of War; 0-400 PE

Age of ascension; 400-0 AE

Population Boom; 700-400 AE

Divine Era; unknown-700 AE

Countries inside the continent of Treas:

Urgeon - Country not explicitly controlled by one god, leading to lots of chaos and crime.

Moriel Empire - Governed by Moriel (a human that ascended 500 years ago during the age of ascension, after ascending he immediately created the Moriel Empire), mainly human

Kingdom of Ietrea - Governed by Aries Hunt (After ascending 350 years ago she competed in a divine test of strength with Zeph the prior god of Ietra), mainly consists of the Ietreas

Kingdom of Arlentium: governed by Elas (A benevolent god that ascended 600 years ago, is a rare breed of Demonic Argents), consists of only Argents

Holy land of Udar: governed by Udar (Divine being that ascended an unknown amount of time ago), accepts all races except for those of demonic descent

The 3 gods who vie over control of north Urgeon:

God of the North - Borders the Moriel Empire and the Kingdom of Ietra; Tannatar of the ears, said to be extremely brutal to anyone who isn't of elf descent, most of the time taking their ears from them.

God of the west - Harbors the ocean of sorrows; Felyra (succubus): generally secretive with how she moves because she doesn't have as much combative prowess as the other gods of anarchy.

Snake god of the East - Chuze the slippery; Known as a coward amongst the Tannatarians originally came from Barteas, is a basilisk. The Ietras have disdain for his culture and him, as their races closely resemble each other. Ietra borders this land and has fought many times to try and conquer them, has been fought back time and time again. Also borders Arlentium, though there is no contact between the two.

Known Tribes:

Oracle tribe of Tera: A very rare existence because they worship a being who has reached the second level of ascension known as a constellation. These existences are known to not be able to protect the people who worship them making it so rare. Tannatar is enraged by the existence of this tribe because they follow a deity who gives nothing in return, instead of worshipping someone powerful like him who is right there to help them if they need.

Crozcor tribe: A tribe known for their brutality and brazenness, they dominate most of the hunting grounds for the west side of the haunted hills. Any who dare wage war on them are killed tortured and raped until the tribe is satisfied. They first meet Nasher when he is 5 defining him as an existence they would rather not go up against, so they give up some of their hunting lands and are forced to hunt in the dark forest of lythania sometimes. There they find Aethrea's mother and decide to do as they please because of her immense beauty that even caught the eye of a divine being.

Known species:

Humans: Found everywhere, with varying amounts of power.

Elves: Known for their pointy ears and high agility. These are some of the most fearsome foes when they are on home turf as they are able to sometimes manipulate the earth around them.

Argents: Three eyed giants spanning 8-10 feet tall normally, this is one of the most powerful of the common races.

Ietreas: Red eyes, white hair, generally slender, is able to turn into a half serpent. Have long tongues, pupils are normal until they transform, in which they turn vertical.

Divine beings: Shapeshifters with enormous power, one of the rarest species in the PTA universe. Most have died out since the Divine Era. All have the same purple pupils.

Succubus: Can be male or female, all specialize in the art of seduction. Some of the more powerful ones are able to control the weak minded.

Basilisk: Serpent like creature that is able to go at extremely fast speeds even underground. Powerful scales that can repel even some of the most powerful attacks. Only found on the Treas continent.

Nether Dragonborn: Bat like wings, with extremely strong black scales, red skin, purple eyes, and black horns. Previously known as a forsaken dragon race, however because they have been hiding for the past 500 years they are generally unknown to the world.

Lizardmen: Found mainly in the Deadly Swamp Lands, they are unintelligent and generally stay in packs. Most look down on them however their strength is not alone but as a strong tribe, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Known Constellations:

Tera: She is from the beginning of the divine era, known as one of the most powerful elven gods in history. She ascended before the population boom and became a constellation during this era. Making her one of the more forgotten powerful gods. When she became a constellation she took her 10000 followers up with her to the solar system now known as the Tera system. She is one of the 20 constellations that are visible from the nether world.

Sanata: Goddess of death, she is the ruler of the nether world. It is unknown how long she has been there, most that know her believe that she might have even created the world. Nobody knows where she lives however even the powerful gods that know of her, believe that she is close by and are afraid to against her will. Any who know her all have one thing in common, they offer up a prayer whenever there is a death, this is practiced by a few powerful gods and some hidden tribes of transcendents.
