Lore & Background
The relationship between the Creator God and the mortal realm is often interpreted through the lens of faith by the people of Orsterra. While the deity does not actively intervene in daily affairs or walk among men as a physical presence, their creation is evident in every corner of the land. The existence of the Path of the Gods and the sacred sites scattered across the continent are believed to be remnants of this divine touch, serving as enduring testaments to the power that shaped reality.
Reader's Guide
The history of Orsterra begins with the mythological act of creation by the Creator God. Before time as mortals understand it, the deity shaped the continents and established the natural laws that bind the world together. Legends speak of how life was breathed into the land, populating it with diverse races and creatures. This era is often referred to in ancient texts as the Dawn of Orsterra, a time when the divine will directly influenced the physical form of reality. Over millennia, direct interaction ceased, leaving behind only faith and the sacred geography that defines the current world. The eight paths chosen by travelers are sometimes seen as echoes of this original design, guiding mortals toward their destinies within the framework established by the Creator.
