Thousands of years ago, there were fifteen immortals amidst the vast emptiness. Each of them governed a section of this new universe. First there was the King, regal and respected, he was the leader of the fifteen. He controlled light and color. The king created stars, bringing light and warmth to the emptiness. These stars came in a number of colors, rose red, cobalt blue, emerald green, and golden yellow.
This new space, bathed in color, needed something else thought the second. He was the Elder, wise and calm, he brought wisdom to the fifteen. He governed stone and earth, thus he created massive spheres to surround the stars. These rudimentary planets were plain and unappealing and so the King granted them color all their own.
This place was without darkness and so the third took action. He was the Shadow, silent and deadly, he brought neutrality to the fifteen. He ruled over death and darkness, creating shadows to counter the light, leading to the creation of… darker places. The clash between the two had manifested at the beginning of time.
Death wandered the world now with nothing to kill, so the fourth took action. He was the Angel, kind and peaceful, he brought a sense of calm to the fifteen. He guarded life, bringing it with him everywhere he went. Grass and flowers sprang up around his feet, animals grew in their midst.
Unruly and wild the beasts ravaged the planets and so the fifth took action. She was the dragon, mighty and wild, she brought instinct to the fifteen. She controlled the beasts and fire. For the first time order was seen on the many planets.
This new sense of calm was short lived as the sixth intervened. The sixth was unique, there were two of them Good and Evil, divided and intelligent, they brought factions to the fifteen. He noticed a lack of calamity, to resolve this he created the Grimm, dark creatures that inhabited the land of the shadows. Good then created man to inhabit the light, there hearts were frail and flawed.
The seventh saw this and decided to give the humans protection in the form of aura. She was the Spiritualist, thoughtful and generous, she brought insight to the fifteen. She controlled the souls of the living, man and monster alike. With the help of the King she gave the frail creature known as man aura, a force like no other. It provided defense and healing to the host and if properly trained it could be used as a weapon against the Grimm.
This weapon known as aura was hard to use and so the eighth made a change. She was the Smith, skilled and quiet she brought stubbornness to the fifteen. She governed metal and minerals, Blessing the planets with many metals and gemstones. Including one that stood out amongst the rest, Dust or heterain as it was known to the immortals. This crystal had the powers of the elements stored within it, lighting, ice, fire, stone, water, wind, light and shadows. She then taught man how to forge and use weapons made of metal.
Crude and misused these weapons were no substitute for the quality of training used by the aura users entitled ceremoniaists. The ninth changed all of that, He was the Titan, skilled and refined, he brought technique to the fifteen. He gifted man with many combat disciplines(martial arts and sword styles). Four of which used ones aura as a weapon the Nomadic style, the Ageaus style, the Nova style and the Eternal style. With this man began to push back the Grimm.
Man soon realized that their numbers were no substitute for the limited number of ceremoniaists, and so the tenth took it upon herself to give each man a unique skill. She was the Magician, clever and intelligent, she brought purity to the fifteen. She honed man's aura, making from it Semblance, a unique attribute to be passed down through the generations. This new power made every human a valuable asset both on and off the battlefield.
Now that there was a defense man could create civilization but they knew not how, and so the eleventh enlightened them. He was the Craftsman, creative and artistic, he brought appreciation to the fifteen. He taught man how to lay stone, how to build cities, how to craft art. With these new found skills they fashioned empires, causing strife and conflict amongst themselves.
Mans population boomed and famine settled itself down for the long run, thus meriting the attention of the twelfth. He was the Naturalist, calm and serene, he brought serenity to the fifteen. He descended with grace in order to teach man the secrets of farming and how to appreciate the beauty of nature. Ridden of famine man thrived without strife.
This troubled the thirteenth as it was no fun. She was the Sinner, dishonest and ignorant, she brought sin to the fifteen. She released her children into the world to torment man, ignorance, wrath, lust, envy, sloth, greed, pride, and gluttony. These once prosperous and peaceful cities were now full of crime and discrimination.
Man was so destructed with fighting themselves that the Grimm became a problem of lesser concern, but the Grimm push harder destroying much of the civilization, and so the fourteenth went to work. She was the Enchantress, noble and theocratic, she brought symbology to the fifteen. She instructed the ceremoniaists on a new ceremony, the Glyph, a method of harnessing and projecting aura and dust. These skills caused the ceremoniaists to be worshiped as incarnates of the immortals.
Man could only learn , he could not discover and the last immortal parted her gift to them. She was the Librarian, intelligent and wise, she brought legends to the fifteen. She granted knowledge to man enlightening them to the wonders of the world. And so for the first time the truths of the fifteen immortals were written down.
As a final gift each of the immortals created three relics of extreme power. And so the souls of the immortals once again laid dormant till there incarnates were born, to host the immortals so that they could fight for or against the destruction of this world known as Remnant. But as with all things, these truths turned into legends and then into stories, before they disappeared entirely, fading into the earth. That is until the last manuscript of the immortals was found.
