Venia is home to an extensive history. Some of the major events include:
- The great rift of Technology versus Magic. Magic had been the dominant force through most of time. Technology has now reared it’s head, some viewing it as a threat to the old ways of life.
- Although not immediately obvious, magic has been slowly dissipating from the world. As the force of Technology increases, the strength of Magic declines. A lot of the world’s crops have begun showing strange transformations lately. Might it be that the diminishing presence of magic is the cause?
- Venia has not always been in it’s current ring-like formation. Legends tell of a time where it was a vast, solid, landmass hurtling through space. There are quite a few citizens who are interested in the cause behind this massive change. Someone, or something, has to be behind it.
- Hundreds of years ago there was a great uprising of the peasants near the Corelia region. For better or worse, the members of the upper class put a brutal end to that incident. There have been whispers throughout the land that there may be another revolution on the horizon.
- Speckled throughout Venia’s history, there have been numerous accounts of people claiming to have seen “non-human” entities. Though they were often dismissed as childish hallucinations, some went so far as to worship these beings. NOT IMPORTANT
- In the past year, no rainfall has been recorded outside of Pacifica. This is very unusual, especially since Pacifica is constantly battered with rain and even storms. In fact, the intense amount of rain that has been occurring is beginning to pose a threat. Can it be stopped? Should it be stopped?
- The newest nation to arrive on this planet, Obtatia, seems to be spearheading a mining endeavor. Not much is known about these guys yet.
