This is an encyclopedia to a world I am devising. NOTHING in here will NOT be changed. Everything here, at some point, is bound to be revised in the coming months and years. This will be my one and only writing focus. I have taken a LOOOOOOONG break from writing, but I think I'm ready to get back in it now... so yay!

Melgoroth - A massive worm like creature that dwelt in the bowels of the world that was supposed to be raised from the ground and signal the last day of the world. It was senseless (As in not having the five senses such as sight, taste, hearing, touch, smell) but was cunning and perceptive. Evil in nature, as it was the offspring of Ungoloth The Collosus and was the only creature in existence that could fortelll the future, and specifically the date and occurances of the last day.
Ungoloth The Collosus - The largest of all the original Ungaladriam, a wingless wyrm that was the enemy of all living things, as it destroyed and ate everything it crossed.
Ungaladriam - The original powers of the world that were the result of the hatred between the Origin.
Origin - The closest thing in the world to GODS. They are the opposite of each other. They were the first two things to enter the void. There names were Nivennios and Harlon. A hatred grew between the two of them that resulted in the forming of the world and and how it is presently. Their battles carved out the lands, their sweat and tears filled the oceans. The hatred grew out of opposite personalties and preferences. Nivennios was adventurous, eager, ambitious and bright. Harlon was contempt, stubborn, cynical, sardonic, mocking, and reveled in the darkness . These attributes grerw out of the countless time that passed while the void was empty or growing ever so slowly. Ninvennios, being the more adventurous of the two, discovered Arcantium, which was magic in a physical form but neither of the brothers could see in the complete blackness of the void. Nivennios was terrified initially, for it was a power untapped and apocalyptic, even in an empty realm. Nivennios kept his discovery a secret for a millenia, all the time tapping into it's power and started to understand the true scale of a discovery he had made, and that it was also very terrible, yet Nivennios could not make much progress. In a great anger, he struck the Arcantium and a great wave of heat was generated from his rage. Then light was produced, and vision was granted to him. Harlon hated the light, and despaired, for his shadows and darkness were gone. They both discovered that there was ground above them and an airy void from then up Harlon in a rage so great, cried 'Fiend Nivennios! Douse the light so that I may once again revel in the endless shadow! Nivennios could not. He had not the power not care to do it, for he loved the light and the warmth. In time, the heated Arcantium gathered to the sky and became the sun. Nivennios was engaged in dancing and singing of the lights marvel when he was attacked at last by Harlon. The battle between the gods was cataclysmic. Oaths and curses were bellowed that brought the spirit of hatred and all things evil into the world. Blows were dealt that carved valley, and pulled up mountains. Sweat and tears ran from the Origin, and it filled the low places in the forming world. The battle lasted for ages uncounted. In time, neither had the strength to continue the battle, but their will and hatred for one another was still evident, as it was later recored by Grundgor, the spirit of time whom was made during the endless time they warred.

First Wonder (Elves) - First race to be spawned from the Pool of Ungalria, Spirit of Life. Ungalria and her love Ungilian used their power to create the elves to combat the Orc, who were foul and unholy, and to balance the world between Good and Evil.
