Heavenly of Hosts,
Realm of the Truly Divine,
The Righteous Powers,
The Path of Salvation.
When the Creator spread his hands and reached into the depths of the Oroborous - pulling from himself the universe, stars, and planets - Yashain was born. A seat of immense power, it is said that all righteous holy power streams from the landscape of Yashain. Those who follow the Righteous Path enter into its paradise having devoted their lives to the Path and its Facets. It is here the quest continues to return paradise and salvation to all of the universe, to see suffering and pain removed. Here the challenge remains to return the universe – Terra, Yashain, and Yeresse – to the splendor that was once known during the Age of the Eria.
At the highest seat of power in Yashain is the Righteous Brother, he of the three that understood the correct Path of Salvation and became a pillar for others to stand upon. Through his faith and purification and unyielding devotion to the Path, the brother ascended into the plane of Yashain, first amongst all others. Yet, at this seat of power, the Rightful Brother is distanced from the world of Terra, unable to interfere in the lives of men. Only through worship is the gap between Terra and Yashain bridged. From religious devotion comes a bond between the Rightful Brother and the priest or knight from whom heavenly glory may thus flow.
Outside the highest tier of Yashain are the mighty Saints of the Rightful Path. Once mortals, these men and women devoted their lives to the Path in emulation of the Rightful Brother. Through their devotion they purified their bodies and mind and achieved salvation, ascending into the realm of Yashain. They now watch over mankind from their seats of power, ever listening to the prayers of man so they may intercede on their behalf, asking the Rightful Brother for his aid in returning paradise to the rest of the universe.
Beneath the Saints is the second tier of Yashain, domain of Guardians. Here lie great spirits of men who like the saints ascended into Yashain, but also those powerful spirits born of the original Eria who wield immense sway over the universe. Time has often mistook these powerful Guardians as Gods for their ability to interact with the world of men. While paired with wills of their own, many look to aid mankind in following the Rightful Path to help restore paradise to the universe.
At the lowest tier of Yashain are the spirits of the deceased, those who followed the Rightful Path and dedicated their lives towards salvation. In purifying their body and mind they ascended into the realm of Yashain where they continue on the path to return paradise to Terra and the rest of the universe, unifying the shards that once were the Spirits of Eria that pain and suffering may be removed from the universe. Perhaps their devotion varied, perhaps their accomplishments were meager, yet all those who follow the Rightful Path and value the Facets ascend into this tier of Yashain when time comes.

Taint of Oblivion,
Land of the Fallen,
The Ruinous Powers,
The Paths of Damnation.
Yeresse - twin planet to Yashain - was born in the shadow of its sister. Here the chaotic forces of the universe are pulled that fuel the forces of oblivion. Here the forces of destruction spread their clutch over the universe, enticed by the prospect of power. Yet for all their might, Yeresse is the Seed of Oblivion. For in birthing power, it slowly eats away at the world, and when all is done, there will be no paradise, no life, no existence. Here the spirits of the misguided and fallen dwell, those that devoted themselves to the Paths of the Fallen, and it is here the insatiable lust for power continues, lead by the two False Brothers.
At the highest seat of power in Yeresse are the Fallen Brothers, those of the three who turned from the True Path and warped their Father’s message for the sake of control and power. Through their grand deceit, they descended into the realm of Yeresse, their souls bitten by the torrents of oblivion and the lust for domination. No man can ever descend beyond the Fallen Brothers. From their great seats do the False Brothers reach out to those who would worship them, granting them powers equal to those that flow of Yashain, emboldened by the strength it will bring to Yeresse. Their powers are lent to those who follow the Fallen Paths, or those who would stray from the True Path’s facets. The great deception, the Fallen Brothers work to corrupt the True Path and provide those who would twist its message with apparent heavenly power.
Outside the highest tier of Yeresse are the Fallen Saints, those that were ensnared by the words of the False Brothers and devoted their lives to the Paths of the Fallen. Here the false saints lay in wait, preying upon the prayers of men who have fallen astray and would seek the powers of damnation. It is the false saints that intercede on the behalf of men, begging the attention of the False Brothers that they may fuel the course of destruction, spurring the universe closer and closer to oblivion - the end of paradise.
Beneath the Saints is the second tier of Yeresse, domain of Demons. Here lie great spirits of men who like the saints descended into Yeresse, but also those powerful spirits born of the original Eria who wield immense sway over the universe. Time has often mistook these powerful Demons as Gods for their ability to interact with the world of men. While paired with wills of their own, many look to hamper mankind in following the Rightful Path, instead galvanizing mankind and showing it the depths of suffering and pain.
At the lowest tier of Yeresse are the spirits of the deceased, those who followed the Ruinous Paths and dedicated their lives towards false motives. In their ignorance or malice, they damned their souls to the realm of Yeresse where they continue their insatiable quest for power, ultimately eating away at the universe and inching existence towards oblivion. Perhaps their devotion faltered, perhaps their accomplishments were tempted by darkness, yet all those who strayed from the Rightful Path or devoted their lives to the Path of the Fallen have descended into the realm of Yeresse.
