The creation of the Kingdoms
IN the beginning of time, there was both light and dark in the lands. Three beings roamed the lands, two siblings, and Their Mother. The siblings fought constantly, each one thinking themselves better than the other. One of the Siblings favored light, while the other Favored Dark. As the siblings grew, they began to control the light and dark. Days, and night both grew longer and shorter according to their whims. Eventually the fighting became so intense that Mother separated the two siblings to opposite sides of the realm. Darkness could never cross into light, and Light could never cross into the Dark. Mother took the center of the lands to make sure that the two never broke the peace. Each was allowed to visit Mother in these lands, but only one at a time for specific times. Light visits in the day, Dark Visits at night, equal amounts of time for both.
Eventually, Each sibling had Children of their own. It was growing harder to contain the light and dark. In an effort to help, Mother took the elements, and created a Kingdom for each. She plucked the wind from the sky, the water from the sea, a flame from a fire, and a Handful of earth each created the rulers of the Kingdoms. The Earth was set on the light side, the Water in the dark. Sky and Fyre held half in each land. Mother took each of the elements into herself as well to continue keeping the peace. The Children of the light and dark moved into the lands, and took on the elements of the Kingdoms. Some remained in the lands of dark, and the lands of light.
The eldest of each began their own Kingdoms. The children of the Light called themselves the Seelie, while the Children of the Dark called themselves the Unseelie.
Each of the Kingdoms took on a symbol for the Royal families Mother Had created. Sky are symbolized by a single feather floating midair. Fyre took on the Symbol of the Phoenix. The earth took on the symbol of a solitary tree. Water took on a Bloomed water lily as their symbol. Once the family symbols were chosen, Mother blessed each of the families with special powers only they held.
Sky Kingdom hold the power over the wind, sunlight, and the sky itself. There is no sun in the fae realm though, so the power of the sun was easily confused for power over light itself. Like the Children of the Light, they can manipulate the light to make themselves disappear if desired, or even appear however they wish to others. This power has since bled into every Kingdom through the generations, but was originally a light only power. This power is now referred to as Glamour. In the Human world, the power of the Sun is Much more useful. The special power dedicated to the royal family of the Sky Kingdom is the ability to shift themselves into any bird form. The Higher ups have the ability to manipulate the wind into small tornadoes or windstorms. The absolute highest have the ability to create Hurricanes, and Larger tornadoes.
Water Kingdom hold power over any form of Water or Liquid. They're lands are all Water, and Marshlands. The Royal family Have the ability to turn themselves into Water beasts referred to as "Sea Monsters" or normal Sea animals. The higher ups can control Monsoons, and Tsunamis.
Earth Kingdom Royal Family was given the ability to shift into any land animal. The Higher ups have control over minor Natural disasters such as small landslides, or tremors. The Highest Members of The Kingdom have control over Massive natural disasters like, Dust tornadoes, Massive level Earthquakes, and Landslides.
Fyre Kingdom Royal Family take on the powers of the Phoenix, and the ability to Boil the blood of their enemies. The Higher ups have control over Volcanoes. Fyre Kingdom leans more towards the Dark side while Sky Leans more towards The Light. The two Kingdoms residing between the lands of Light and Dark Balance Each other out.
In the Center of everything Lay the lands of Neutrality known as the Capital Kingdom. The Castle lay in the Center, each Wing designed to appear as the Kingdom it faces. The North Wing is open like the buildings in the Sky Kingdom. The west Wing is made of wood, and surrounded by flowers and gardens. The Southern Wing is made of glass and volcanic stone. The Eastern Wing is where the pools, and water are Kept. The Hallways have clear floors with water flowing underneath, and fish tanks in the walls. The Ruler of the Capitol is carefully picked by the Queen, or Her closest Kingdom member (Usually a Lover, or close friend) When a Queen nears the end of Her Reign. The Ruler of the Capital Must meet all Requirements before even being considered.
1. Must hold the blood of all four elemental Kingdoms 2. Must Remain Neutral and Not choose sides between the Light and Dark. 3. Must Be Female. 4. Must Prove no Malicious intent on the Kingdoms, or to favor any above others. 5. Must not take a lover Not approved by the Advisers. 6. Must Vow Peace between the Kingdoms above all else, even Her own Life.
The Advisers are Chosen by the Leaders of Each Kingdom to represent the wisest, and best of the Realm. Each time a New Leader takes over a Kingdom, A new adviser for that Kingdom is Chosen. The previous adviser remains in the Capital for the first century to Help assist the New adviser in all that They need.
We will cover more of the politics of the Kingdom in the intermediate course. This completes the Creation of the Kingdoms Lesson. Please Return Next week to Learn about the Creation of the Andos, and all they do for the Realm.
