VALORANT Aurelian Divinities: The Mythos of The Primordial Pantheons
A BYGONE ERA
In the ancient times, there existed four powerful deities known as the Orders of the Universe, each tasked with the divine duty of overseeing and protecting their respective territories. The Water Guardian, Leviathan, commanded the ebb and flow of the oceans and rivers. The Earth Guardian, Verdant, was the steward of the lush forests and majestic mountains. The Space Guardian, Solarius, tended to the boundless expanse of stars and galaxies, while the Sky Guardian, known as Aether, ruled over the ever-changing skies.
Together, these 4 ancient deities ruled over their own nations, using their incredible powers to construct awe-inspiring structures that stood as a testament to their benevolence and might. Their people thrived under their watchful eyes, ushering in an era of unprecedented peace and harmony.
However, their tranquil existence was shattered when the Guardian of Time, in a reckless attempt to alter the course of history, disrupted the natural flow of time. The consequences were catastrophic; everything in its wake was abruptly aged into the present, causing the earth to crumble and nature to reclaim almost every being. The once placid waters rose tumultuously, unleashing destructive waves that claimed the lives of millions. The skies themselves united to block sunlight from ever entering the earth's atmosphere again, while comets rained down, bringing further havoc and chaos.
Witnessing the immeasurable devastation wrought by the meddling of the Guardian of Time, the three most powerful cosmic beings the Order of Balance was filled with a righteous fury. In their anger, they banished the Guardians of Earth, Space, Sky, and Water, sealing their essence into the deepest depths and highest heights of the universe, ensuring that they would never be seen or remembered again.
As for the Guardian of Time itself, its punishment was the most severe of all. It was shattered and scattered across the fabric of time and space, condemned to exist in a fractured state for all eternity, serving as a cautionary warning to any who dared to tamper with the delicate balance of the cosmos.

As time stretched on, the ancient guardians, though banished from their realms, beckoned to those whose fates had been intertwined with the forces of nature, water, skies, and space. They sought to restore balance and right the wrongs unleashed by the meddling of the Guardian of Time. Thus, they brought forth new life and granted their essence to four lost souls, charging them with the monumental task of awakening the banished guardians.
The Water Guardian, Leviathan, encountered an unfortunate soul whose destiny had been submerged within the watery depths, and in a moment of compassion, granted them the gift of life through his own essence. However, in exchange for this second chance, the soul's memories were to be erased, condemning them to wander the ocean's depths and resurface, determined to seek out the other three lost souls to fulfill their collective purpose.
Verdant, the Earth Guardian, discovered an unfortunate soul entwined within the cruel grasp of nature's destructive forces. With a gentle touch, Verdant imbued new life into the soul, using the essence of life itself. As a consequence, the resurrected soul was cursed to tend to the hands of Flora. They were to tend to a secret garden hidden deep within the earth's roots, nurturing it until the time came to join forces with the others and awaken the banished guardians.
Solarius, the Space Guardian, orchestrated a rebirth of a dying star using their essence and the cosmic energy of the universe. In doing so, they bestowed new life upon an unfortunate star. The rebirthed star was fated to traverse the boundless expanse of space, consuming stars one by one, gradually increasing in luminosity and becoming interconnected with another guardian. Their ultimate purpose was to share the tale of their journeys and seek out the other lost souls to accomplish the monumental task of awakening the banished guardians.
The Sky Guardian, known as Aether, encountered a soul that had succumbed to the unforgiving fury of an unfortunate storm. Through a delicate process, Aether breathed new life into the soul, imbuing them with a part of their own essence. The resurrected soul was destined to soar through the skies, discerning between patterns and pathways, until the time came for them to reunite with the other three lost souls and embark on their collective mission to awaken the banished guardians. LEVIATHAN'S CALL"In the deep and dark watery grave, The fallen soul found its wave. Guardian of water spoke with grace, Promising a rise from this place. To wander the depths for a given time, In the cruel watery rhyme. Resurface and tell the tale, And search for the 3 without fail."
VERDANT'S CALL"In nature's realm where whispers fade, A guardian finds a soul astray, Pouring life's essence into hearts, Cursed with hands of flora, new starts. From nature's cruel and deep roots, They shall sprout and bear life's fruits, Heeding the guardian's whispered plea, Venturing into a world full and free. Life's essence revealed in lush grandeur, Live to tell the tale, a soul's endeavor, To call out to the other three, Bound by nature's enduring decree."
SOLARIUS' CALL"In the cosmic expanse, a star was born, From the essence of the guardian to adorn. "Weep not," said the guardian with care, "For purpose in this existence you bear. Follow the guiding light so true, To planet Earth, where your path is anew. Live to tell the tale and seek, The other three you are destined to meet."
AETHER'S CALL"Aether, the sky's guardian so bold, Brought forth a lost soul with a feather, pure gold.
Your essence given life, a spirit to roam, To soar the skies, to find a new home.
With freedom and will in your hands so fair, You'll discern pathways and patterns with care.
Live to tell the tale, and call the other three, For in the sky's vast expanse, your soul will be free."
THE RUINED CITADEL OF SIRENUM
In the ancient times, the kingdom of Sirenum was the majestic underwater citadel ruled by Leviathan, the Water Guardian. The city was a vibrant hub of life and color, with magnificent coral structures and shimmering schools of fish that danced through the crystal-clear waters.
However, when the Guardian of Time disrupted the natural flow of time, the once-thriving kingdom of Sirenum was struck by powerful and high-rising waves that crushed and submerged the entire city beneath the ocean's watery grave. The once beautiful citadel became a forgotten relic lost to the depths of the sea, its former glory fading into obscurity.
Now, a relic must be found to unlock the power hidden in the depths of the ocean. Legends speak of a relic that, when placed onto the relic stone where the Guardian of the waters was banished, will bring forth peace upon the earth with all the other guardians. The journey to find this relic is perilous, as it requires traversing treacherous underwater caverns and facing the guardians' trials.
Only a certain lost soul whose fate was sealed from the very depths of the ocean's wake, now being brought forth to life by the deity of the waters itself, armed with the knowledge of ancient lore and with the blessing of the other guardians, can hope to retrieve the relic and restore balance to the world. However, time is of the essence, as dark forces seek to claim the relic for their own nefarious purposes. The fate of the world hangs in the balance as the quest to unearth the lost relic and return it to its rightful place begins. THE HANGING GARDEN OF BABYLON
Once nestled deep within the Earth, the Hanging Garden of Babylon was a wondrous kingdom, hidden and lost within the very roots of nature and the Earth itself. It was the domain of the Earth guardian, a place that once thrived with lush greenery, vibrant life, and breathtaking beauty. Visitors to the kingdom marveled at the stunning vistas and the harmonious coexistence of nature and civilization.
However, when the Guardian of Time disrupted the natural flow of time through the entirety of the land, a transformation of unparalleled recklessness took hold. The forces of nature, once a source of life and vitality, began to consume the kingdom itself. The rampant growth of botany and greenery overtook the once-thriving civilization, rendering it forgotten and lost to obscurity.
The kingdom's old testament, a testament to its former glory, lay broken and obscured by the relentless overgrowth. It seemed as though the very roots of nature's vengeance and wrath had sealed the fate of the once beautiful and thriving kingdom.
Amidst this desolation, a lost soul, bound to the Earth guardian's essence and brought to life through the sheer essence of life itself, emerged from the depths of the kingdom. It was whispered that only this chosen soul possessed the power to seek out a long-forgotten relic, the key to uncovering the secrets of the slumbering Verdant guardian. The relic, once found and restored to its rightful place, held the promise of reawakening the guardian and ushering in an era of peace and harmony, long forgotten since ancient times. And so, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the quest to unearth the lost relic and awaken the slumbering guardian began, as the forces of nature continued to vie for dominance over the forgotten kingdom of the Hanging Garden of Babylon. BIBLIOTHECA OF ASTRALUMEN OBSERVATORY
In a distant corner of the universe, nestled among the stars and galaxies, there existed a magnificent kingdom in space known as Astralumen Observatory. This revered site was once filled to the brim with a vast and infinite amount of books containing the knowledge of the universe. However, entrance into the observatory was not granted to just anyone; only one deemed worthy could enter, one whose worth lay far within, like a diamond in the rough.
Astralumen Observatory was a special place for the inhabitants of the ancient times to make predictions, study the celestial bodies, and improve their understanding of the universe. The knowledge housed within its walls was said to hold the secrets of the cosmos, and those who were fortunate enough to gain access were able to harness this knowledge for the betterment of their civilization.
However, the relentless passage of time, caused by the Guardian of Time's reckless meddling, resulted in the withdrawal of all knowledge from the observatory. As the Guardian of Time disrupted the natural flow of time, cataclysmic events unfolded. Stars exploded near the Observatory, causing it to tremble and falter, ultimately leading to its collapse and decay. The once grand and luminous kingdom became a shadow of its former self, with its vast repository of knowledge scattered and lost amid the ruins.
As time continued its inexorable march, the Space Guardian, Solarius, set out on a quest to revive the faded glory of the fallen Observatory. Guided by the wisdom of the cosmos and driven by an unyielding determination, the Space Guardian sought out a dying star. Through a potent fusion of cosmic energy and the Guardian's own essence, a new star was born, its radiant light illuminating the darkest corners of the universe.
Now, the restoration of the observatory hinges upon the discovery and restoration of a fabled relic, a key that holds the power to unlock the lost knowledge and restore Astralumen Observatory to its former brilliance. As the stars twinkle in the vast expanse of space, the destiny of the observatory and the universe itself hangs in the balance, awaiting the arrival of the chosen one who will restore the kingdom and unveil the ancient wisdom it holds. THE FALLING KINGDOM OF AERION
In the fabled annals of time, the Falling Kingdom of Aerion soared amidst the lofty heights of the skies and clouds, a fabled kingdom ruled by the revered Sky Guardian, Aether. Within its celestial domain, the island stood as a testament to the wondrous freedom of the skies, adorned with breathtaking beauty and an intricate harmony of sky-borne wonders.
The tranquility of the Falling Kingdom of Aerion was shattered when the Guardian of Time, in a reckless bid to alter the course of destiny, meddled with the natural flow of time. The repercussions were catastrophic as parts of the kingdom were plunged into shambles, leaving only a fractured remnant suspended in the skies. The relentless passage of time obscured much of the kingdom's former grandeur, rendering it forgotten and concealed by nature's relentless grip.
Amidst the desolation, a lost soul, borne through the essence of the Sky Guardian, emerged from the depths of the kingdom with a destiny intertwined with the fate of Aerion. It was whispered that only this chosen soul, marked by the touch of the celestial realms, possessed the power to seek out a long forgotten relic, a Feather of Pure Freedom and Purity. This relic held the key to reclaiming the kingdom's lost splendor and awakening the waning might of the Sky Guardian.
As the forces of time and nature continued to vie for dominance over the fragmented remains of the Falling Kingdom of Aerion, the lost soul embarked on a noble quest to unearth the relic and restore the kingdom to its former majesty. Guided by the echoes of ancient prophecy and the enduring legacy of Aether, the lost soul pledged to reclaim the kingdom's lost grandeur and restore the freedom and purity of the skies to their rightful place amidst the celestial domain. The prophecies foretold an era of peace and harmony to bloom once more, breathing new life into the wandering realms of Aerion and etching its tale into the annals of time for generations to come.
