Since the dawn of humanity, as we evolved from simple hunter-gatherers into established civilizations, our planet began to witness the emergence of strange and powerful forces. The first major source of power was the realm of astral spirits and the practice of spiritism.
Throughout history, these astral spirits have played pivotal roles in human conflicts—shaping the founding of nations, unleashing or combating devastating plagues, and most notably, in the recent major crisis involving Efaris the Wrathful. She commanded an army of Devoid Spirits (astral spirits that are corrupted into hating humanity and wanting nothing but just killing them), determined to annihilate not only humanity but also other sapient beings on the planet that weren't astral spirits, including the beastfolk.
The second major source of power came in the form of Asha, a psychic energy empowered from dreams and positivity, that comes from a different parallel dimension known as the Asha Realm. This new force was introduced to humanity by the one that is referred to as the Great Originator, Tanya Greene, just before Efaris made her return. Tanya taught people how to harness Asha, enabling them to rely on this vibrant energy instead of being solely dependent on astral spirits and spiritists. By channeling and teaching the artform of Asha Harnessing, she built up her own formidable army and ultimately defeated Efaris, putting an end to her genocidal campaign against humankind.

The introduction of Asha harnessing revolutionized society, helping humanity recover from the devastation wrought by the Devoid Spirits. With its potential, we saw significant advancements in technology and an ushering in of a new age of peace.
The peace that had been established didn’t last long. Eighty-four years before the modern era, a devastating global war erupted between the major nations, resulting in countless deaths. Just two years later, a new force emerged on the planet: mysterious artifacts appeared around the world, seemingly modified or enchanted by Asha energy. Nobody knew who had created them or where they came from.
These artifacts unleashed a third source of power, giving rise to numerous warlords and criminals. In the wake of the Great Global War, nations were weakened, making them prime targets for chaos. The most notorious group among these villains was known as the Chaos Conclave, who sought to reshape the world according to their vision.
However, they met their match in the emergence of a new organization, the Union of Heroes, a coalition of capes that fought back against their tyranny. Following the Conclave’s defeat, the world entered a tumultuous era marked by the constant rise and fall of heroes and villains, setting the stage for the ongoing struggles we see in the modern era.
