Thousands of years ago, a marvelous world was created by powerful, omnipotent beings. The world soon came to be known as Portoceanus, and the beings that procured for its further development after creating it became the gods of the world.

In their attempt to spread life wide throughout the place, they created one large landmass that constituted the country of Omnespes. Endlessly surrounding this country was a beautiful, pure ocean known as Maregni. Soon after, life began.

First, it was the humans. Sentient beings of intelligence and promise, they quickly began to reproduce. They made the land of Omnespes their home and helped it flourish even more.

Then came the half-fish. These appeared human from waist to head, while everything from their waist down denoting something similar to a fish's tail, with knowledge who resided all over Maregni, building communities underwater.

When contact was first made between the two cultures, the gods fret they would not get along. Instead, however, the humans and the half-fish became fascinated with each other. The former had formed technology while the latter had knowledge of magical arts.

Realizing what each culture could gain from the other, they soon began interchanging information and sharing discoveries to further their people's growth. Humans taught the half-fish how to hunt and make weapons for protection; half-fish educated humans on what was needed to know about their gods and the magic that fluctuated all over the world.

In order to better communicate, they worked together to share their realms. Humans started to move land and construct ways for rivers and lakes to be inside Omnespes so half-fish people could live in the country. Likewise, some of the half-fish helped the humans construct new islands afloat Maregni, the first one of which was named The Capital of Aquarcem.

However, as the centuries passed by, humans began to bicker between themselves for power and wealth. The half-fish noticed this and began viewing humans as more primitive forms to theirs.

When technology proved to having so many more limitations than magic, they questioned whether they needed the humans or not. Thus, they began to make some of their territory and teachings more private.

Rather undignified by this, the humans decided to build more islands on Maregni, as a way to let the half-fish know that they refused to be ignored. Despite invading their territory, the humans continued building more and more islands all over the world, until humanity had basically abandoned their country.

Outraged, the half-fish demanded that the humans returned to Omnespes and leave the Maregni Ocean in its entirety to them, but they refused. Upon this dispute, the half-fish attempted to sink the islands so that the humans would be forced to leave. Instead, however, the humans prepared their islands for life underwater, usually by creating a dome or force field around the islands with a pipe system that would allow them to obtain their oxygen from the surface. Now believing that staying in the country was a way of giving the half-fish what they wanted, the humans abandoned Omnespes and a war began between the two cultures.

Decades of warring passed by, and countless lives were lost. Still, the two factions warred. Realizing that neither had the power to destroy the other, and fearing that both races would perish before an outcome, they pleaded the gods for help.

The gods wanted to end the war, but both sides refused to make peace. After much debating amongst themselves, they decided that they would aid the race that deserved to reside in Portoceanus. Unfortunately, when they tried to determine which it was, they realized that there were just as many wrongs and rights in one as there was in the other.

The pleas for help grew more abundant and desperate, and the gods could not bear the possibility of both of their creations destroying each other; it was better that at least one survived. The better one as they had decided. But which one was better? It was then that they opted to send their servants --otherwordly creatures of magic and might-- to Portoceanus.

These creatures would arrive to the world. They would serve only the mortals that conquered them, for only a mortal worthy of having a god's power could tame them. Once under their command, the mortal could do as they wished with the servants.

And so it was. Humans and half-fish went after the creatures: dragons, beasts, warriors, nymphs, krackens... thousands of monstrosities and mights. And each and everyone was tamed and used for war.

Those unable to tame one of the gods' servants were immediately disgraced by their race and thrown out. Those that refused to fight alongside their kind in war or used their conquered beasts to war against their race were normally executed for treason.

This served as motivation for joining the battle- even if the person was against the notion, fear of being disowned or killed would motivate them into fighting, especially because there was nowhere else to turn if they refused to join the struggle. Or was there?

After the war began, the people slowly forgot about Omnespes. The world both half-fish and humans were introduced to from birth until death, the only world they knew and fought for was Maregni. This got to a point where Omnespes became the stuff of legends and fairy tales.

When peace-seekers and traitors from both factions started disappearing before execution, no one knew where they could have escaped from. While most assumed them to have died trying to find refuge, others believed that they may have reached Omnespes and that they live now in peace. But is this true? Could have Omnespes withstand millenniums of desolation and still be standing?

Not many believe it still exists. Most aren't even aware it existed in the first place...
