2Hello all! I am Jasuuvius, but my friends call me Jas! This will be my first story, an AU of elder scrolls taking place some years after the events of Skyrim. I chose the elder scrolls as my first story to not only show you the Story of my original works of "Saga: Vulndereek" that I built over years with my good friends and fellow origins but also because I have loved the fantasy setting of the elder scrolls since I first played Oblivion in my childhood. I have many series I have grown to love throughout my life, Halo CE being my first game to play since I was 6 years old in 2001, The elder scrolls and Fallout since 2008 and more ever since! I hope you all enjoy it! please leave a review and feel free to message me to ask about Saga! It has been a work of passion since I first made my Discord account in 2018!
(1) The Saga of Vulndereek and its Origins:
Origins are the primeval deities that existed before creation. They are unique and singular in existence and owe their existence to no one and are the ultimate lifeforms. They can only be awoken, never created. They created the multiverse and the original Titans. They transcend the concepts of god and demon, creation and destruction, life and death, and thus are referred only as the Origins. They are eternal and everlasting and can never be truly destroyed. The Origins are Jarsuuvius, Androk, Sveidal, Aeternum, Kricon, Itherial, and Magidium. They embody the Essences, a mysterious concept that only they understand. Jarsuuvius embodies The Creation Essence, Androk embodies The Destruction Essence, Sveidal embodies The Power Essence, Aeternum embodies The Eternal Essence, Kricon embodies The Chaos Essence, Itherial embodies The Death Essence, and Magidium embodies the Magic Essence. They are the one constant, unchanging and immutable, and when the totality is destroyed and the mightiest of Titans and the weakest of peasants are dead, they will be there, ready to start another samsara, one among many throughout the eons. They control realms of boundless size
(2) The Story of Jarsuuvius:
The first origin to plan and spark all of creation itself. Jarsuuvius is the most powerful of the origins. Viewed as the All-father-trickster Jarsuuvius convinced some other origins or tricked and/or deceived the rest to help him create Vulndereek. So powerful and ambitious was he, that Three Origins formed a covenant... The ark of the covenant. Cataclysm (aka Svei'Dal), Aeternum, and Kricon created the Shard spell to inhibit Jarsuuvius to halt his aggressive expansions.. Thus was born the shards... The Spectrum Shards... Jarsuuvius' sense of order manifested as the light shard Jakius.
The conquering dark nature of Jarsuuvius manifested as Suikaj, the literal devil. Finally, his humanity manifested as Jasuuvius, being only a one letter difference in Jarsuuvius due to Jasuuvius being the most powerful of the three shards. And representative of his humanity
(3) The Story of a battle between two Origins, which resulted in the creation of the Aurbus:
In the beginning, there was nothing but an empty void. That void was the beginning of the Arubis, birthplace of the Et'Ada. It wasn't always like that, though. It was simply an ordinary space within Vulndeerek, a nascent pocket realm.
Deep within the mysterious void of the deathless planes were two sleeping forces. Jarsuuvius, Origin of Creation, and Aeternum, Origin of Eternity. They had awoken from a long slumber, and as they sensed each other's power, they went to battle.
They had fought a long war against each other in the past, and it ended with Jarusuviuses shattering and Aeternum's slumber.
As they fought across Vulndeerek, they had appeared at the conception point of The Arubis, and they fought for many years, and as they started assuming their true forms, incomprehensible avatars of power, neither of them could get the upper hand on each other, and immense power started leaking out into the surrounding area as singularities appeared.
Eventually, the Arubis formed the battlefield of the two Origins. Eventually, their blood leaked out, and the turbulent energy started forming the Et'Ada.
Some of Aeternum and Jarsuuviuses blood mixed to form Aedra. Some of Jarsuuvius's blood became isolated and formed the Daedra, and some of Aeternum's blood formed the Magna Ge. Eventually, the two realized that they could no longer gain the upper hand and left.
Some energy of their true forms was left behind, forming phantoms of their power, and the Et'Ada knew them as Anu, mistaking the everlasting force of Eternity as stasis, and Padomay, mistaking the demiurgic force of Creation as chaos.
Eventually, the Et'Ada created identities and forms. The shards of Jarsuuvius saw an opportunity to form a realm from the Origins' remains and wanted to use it for reasons unknown.
Jasuuvius became Lorkhan, and tricked the gods into forming Mundus, and the various races as a result, and as the gods thought he was cast into Nirn as an earthbone, he only assumed his true form and left Mundus.
Jakius became the mysterious leader of what became the Aedra, and Suikaj became the king of the chaotic Daedra. The Elder Scrolls were formed from the remaining blood of Aeternum and Jarsuuvius. Their nature was unknown, and they became objects of mystery by god and man alike.
As time passed, many heroes rose up, and many prophecies were created. Powerful dragonborns were created at the behest of the Aedra of time. There were great cataclysms, like the crisis of Oblivion, and the awakening of Alduin, but mortals prevailed.
