Hamanea

Main Page --> Races and Factions

The Hamanea were created by Dioxinus as a way for him to express his longing for total consciousness. Dioxinus believed that in order for a mortal being to experience true consciousness, they must be alleviated of the worries and cares of normal consciousness. In order to do this, the beings must believe that they would be guaranteed to reap benefits of delayed gratification and future planning.

With these barriers removed, the being would be free to apply total and complete focus to the world around him and the world beyond him.

So in the cover of night, Dioxinus stole two children from the Humana and gave to them his home, Foralhelm. He absorbed the disease, impurities and weaknesses from the two of them and allowed them to grow in a complete paradise that was once his home. This caused Dioxinus to become a frail and brittle god with only a shred of the power he once had. Dioxinus gave the children the family name of Edenia, which meant "paradise garden" and two children went on to prosper. Multiplying in numbers and building monstrous cities the likes of which the domain had never seen, much quicker than would have been expected.

Foralhelm, led by the Edenia, grew into a powerful land that was all but rejected by the rest of the domain. The Humana refused to associate with their kind due to an immense jealousy that they had for the healthy, strong bodies of the Hamanea. This quickly drove a rift between the two, otherwise compatible, races.

The Angels never did make an appearance to any of the Edenia. Most believed the Angels found them unnatural to the Domain.

And for a long time, Foralhelm prospered. Incredible technologies were created to grow new, more nutritious crops (and more!). The Edenia made great strides in Sychosenthia, or the study of the inner workings of the mind and how it relates to consciousness. An incredible discovery by Argentia, lead control and use of Crux, which is a way of projecting one's own consciousness beyond the confines of the body and into the physical world.

And great strides were made towards obtaining true consciousness. But the closer to consciousness the Hamanea moved, the more them grew curious as to what lie beyond the Foralhelm walls.
