Titan

Titan is the origin world of humanity.

Horrifically injured in his battle against his brother Cygnus the titan Umbra fled to and fused with a dawn planet to hide from his brothers wrath while he rejuvenated. Over the melenia as his blood seeped into the soil life itself and the first race of humanity was born. As life was born so was magic, the new mortal race quickly learning to adapt and master its diverse arts. Drawn by the overwhelming life force radiating from the the planet the Demonic legion, led by the demon prince Haldus, made its way to Titan through a gateway fed with living demonic energy. To protect his new creations Umbra solidifed the excess life on the planet and gave it as a gift to the mortals. The crystalised life became known as the Heart of Titan and was held in the greatest stronghold of humanity, providing only the mortals a direct conduit with a magic that was fueled by life itself. The demons found themselves trapped on a dying world, stripped of the life they relied on devouring to sustain themselves and their own powers. The greatest triumph of humanity came in the dawn era where they captured the demon prince Haldus and imprisioned him with the powers of the heart beneath the stronghold of Farhaven.

The next era began thousands of years later during the second invasion of the legion where the prince Sirius led his own army to finish what lesser prince Haldus had failed. With the assult the sun of Titan began to die, plunging the planet into red twilight. Humanity lingered only within its last refuge of Farhaven, fueled by the close connection to the heart as it faught for its survival. Realising that if they did not act all of humanity would be eqtinguished twenty of the strongest mortals devised a plan to drain the power of the Heart and flee the planet with as many survivors as they were able to.

As the assault intensified the first ten drained their portion of the power contained in the heart and opened a rift to a new world, becoming the first of the paragon and leading the flight of refugees to a new Farhaven. As the power of the heart waned the magic inherent in the mortals of the world began to die leaving the remaining defenders weakened against the oncoming legion. The remaining ten paragon sealed the rift from the origin behind the survivors in an attempt to erase any connection between Titan and the new world. With the flight of the half of the power of the world stored in the first Paragons and the remaining energy of the Heart of Titan drained the fate of humanity on Titan was all but sealed. In a desperate ploy the ten remaining Paragon fued with the captured demon prince Haldus and reunited themselves with the heart, awaking new found powers in the surviving members of humanity.

In this moment the hivemind of The Dross was born.
