Shaelendria "Prologue and Inspirational Gallery
introduction/foreword The world of Shaelendria got its beginnings in the upstairs bedroom of a small house. My Daughters always wanted bedtime stories and books can only be read so many times before both reader and listener know them by heart. So i spun forth a world of mystery and magic for my girls, a place where they learned to use their imagination and without knowing it developed creativity and a thirst for books that has served them well. Years later, i used our world for many hours of entertainment of table top role playing and now i choose to share parts of it with you. Come join us in our adventures.
In the beginning, there was the void, and in that void were many consciousnesses. One of these, known to the others as Solarae, imagined the form of a gold radiant dragon, pushed himself into the form he had made and Solarae the Father came into being. Another of the consciousnesses watched Solarae and decided she too would take a form. She imagined a silver luminescent dragon form and willed herself into It. Thus, Lunarae, the All Mother, came into being.
Solarae talked often with Lunarae after they had chosen their forms. So intrigued by the sounds of their discussions other consciousness were drawn closer for this was new in the endless void. One such conversation between then was about how empty it seemed and they created uncountable quantities of orbs of great sizes, which they placed through out the void. They breathed fiery balls of light and spun them out among the innumerable orbs. Solarae's burned bright because they had been a part of him. Lunarae's burned soft and pale and she set them to spin around the orbs they had scattered among the heavens. Solarae seeing this took small groups of the orbs and did make them encircle his bright burning balls of light. Even as Lunarae's orbs with their pale light spun about them. These balls of bright or pale light surrounded the great orbs. Great splashes of color filled the void as they created as they created Nebula and the void was no longer empty. Next came comets and other great mysteries.
Solarae and Lunarae went down to one of these great orbs and looked upwards toward the heavens that had been the void. For a time the surface of their orbs were lit and warmed by the creations of Solarae. As well for a time the orb would be cast into darkness with only Lunarae's soft luminescent light shining upon it. So moved were the pair that they wept, their great tearsof joy fell for a for a time. These tear's flowed to the low places of their creations and the sea's came into being.
Other consciousnesses, who had watched from the void and had been drawn to them, chose forms they imagined and came in those forms to stand with Solarae and Lunarae overlooking their creations. Thus, did the beings who would become the gods of the Elves come to be. They asked if they too could create. Gladly did Solarae and Lunarae give their consent. Ontill, made trees and grasses, flowers, and shrubs and did disperse them across the solid places of the orbs or worlds. His companion and mate Kelles came forth to make kelp and coral, fish and crustaceans, and all that lives in the seas, rivers, and lakes. Ontill made animals and all the creatures that walked upon the land. Raelynn came forth and she painted the sky blue and filled the area between with her breath. Then she made birds and clouds and insects to fill that empty void of sky. Nichol, her mate and companion, created the seasons, the winds, rain and snow.
Other consciousnesses admired these creations of Solarae, Lunarae, and the gods, and decided to make likenesses of themselves and disperse them among the worlds. So it was that dragons and Elves came to be.
The remaining consciousnesses, who had watched from afar asked if they too might be allowed to create. They then willed themselves into many forms and shapes. Ore and his mate Echo, the beings who would become gods of the dwarves, came and made empty places in the earth and did fill them with wonders. Ore made metals of many different colors, some hard and some soft. He decorated the soils of the worlds with many great things. Echo filled the empty labyrinths with columns of water falls and mosses that made light.
Glitter and Gem, the beings who would become the gods of the gnomes, made precious stones by compressing rock and earth and dispersed them throughout the world. They made creatures of all sizes and shapes to fill these places.
The great beings watched with joy as their creations moved about the world and their creations did revere them. Then came Timen and Lovel, the beings who would become the gods of the humans, and they did make it so the children of all races and all creatures could multiply. The races and creatures were given finite life lines so the world would not become to full. The Elves and Dragons were left untouched though out of respect for the creators of this new and wonderful world. These supreme creatures of the new world, Elves and Dragons, would outlive the other creatures.
At the same time came the gods of the Meadow Folk, Till and Worsha, gave the gift of agriculture and worship to the world. All rejoiced for they found comfort when their likeness spoke to them and gave them love. This increased who and what they were. And each of them made places for the spirits of their children that they may never totally disappear and be no more. Then content, did they move on to other orbs and make more creations. They found that from the gift of worship a link was made between gods and their creations. So part of them was aware of the happenings of this world.
From the gift of love even the gods could procreate an some of their children were sent to this orb and some to other orbs.these would create and maintain the places called heavens. In time other awareness's made children of their own on this and other orb's. Not all were kind and benevolent. Thus came the orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, the giant kin and numerous others but they were restricted and all their creations too had to have set numbers of years they were aloud to exist.
Thus my children is the story of how all came to be, and the reason for our existence. We are here to enjoy the creations of our god's and goddesses. And to love and give thanks to them for our existence.

Welcome to Shaelendria
The world of Shaelendria comes entirely from my imagination, I want to give a word of thanks to the players that adventured here over the years. Without you there would have been no reason for it to be created. Special thanks to the typist that played Prince Vinthresell and Lady Rachael. The two of them made me give depth, personality, and flavor to my World.
Also thanks to the readers and a few special Ladies that help me edit along the way. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, LOL.
