History:

                Over Seven Thousand Years ago, there was a War between the Titans and the Primordials. Before the world or mortals was destroyed by the war, Oreah took them away from the Prime Material Plane, leaving the mortals to fend for themselves and grow on their own.

                Natuna and Puratana would go on and fight a war on their own, sing the magic of the veil that separates the underworld and the world of the living. the war escalated until there was a great tear in the veil, which created the Umbralands, separating Natuna from Puratana; or the New World from the Old World.

                However, what is not known is a world untouched by either. The Ancient World... or Pracina. Pracina was home to a group of portals who worshiped a group of Titans that took a more active role in the development of the mortals who worshiped them, both technologically and philosophically.

                As such their culture sought out knowledge of every kind. As each new leader would tend to have different interests to pursue, and their culture thrived and grew because of it.

 

Pantheon:

                The bulk of the Pracina culture believes in the Pracian Pantheon. The Prak Pantheon is made up of two types of deities. The Primal Gods and the Himalic Gods.

                The Primal Gods are usually associated as beasts of old and/or evil. While the Himalic Gods watch over the people from Mount Himalia, the tallest mountain in recorded history.

 

Mana: The Mother of all. Is said she is personified by the world itself. Her primary symbol is that of the Mother Tree or the Tree of Eternity.

Lunus: The Father of all. Is said he is personified by the Heavens. His primary symbol is that of the Father Moon or the Moon of Infinity.

                                Together they birthed the Nine which in turn birthed the Primal Gods and the Himalic Gods; eternal rivals.
