History
The first intelligent beings to exist in Hivus were the nature spirits of the Home World. The sprites lived peacefully in an ancient primordial paradise while the planet and the rest of the realm developed.
However, that peace was broken when the Darkust arrived. They came from the Dark World on a meteorite, and quickly began infesting the entire planet.
The nature spirits could do nothing but watch as their world was consumed by the parasites, they resigned themselves to their fate and slipped silently into the oblivion their world had become.
However, all was not lost, the nature spirits encountered a whole new species when they retreated deep below the planet's surface, the ancestral Changeling species. The nature spirits discovered the spark of sentience in these creatures, and realized that they had to try and take back the planet for it's future inheritors.
The spirits forged the automatons to defeat the Darkust, it was successful, but not completely, so the automatons built advanced technology to aid them in their war against the Darkust.
Eventually the automatons won by building starships and bombing the Darkust to dust. After defeating their parasitic enemy, the automatons sunk their starships into the Home World's oceans, hid all of their advanced cybernetic technology, and shut down so to await the day the Changelings discovered them.
When the Changelings finally did emerge from underground, they were still a small race of primitives, and they had no idea of the epic struggle that had ragged above them over the course of their development.
The discovery of the portals and the automatons led to the creation of the Changeling's “Elven” society, and the founding of the Home World capital.
Sometime after the construction of the capital city, the realm lord Divergus arrived in Hivus and was declared emperor.
Complications
Nightmare
Darkust parasites, tiny locust like creatures capable of flight, telepathy, and mutation. They dwell on the Dark world of Hivus and have completely infested the planet and every living creature on it. Non-infected organisms arriving on the Dark World will be assaulted with feelings of fear, and horrifying visions. These visions are designed to cripple victims so that the parasites can quickly infect them.
Darkust consume light and sound, as the number of Darkust parasites increases, the amount of light and sound in an area will decrease until eventually the area is completely dark and silent. Darkust reproduce by cocooning living organisms, then implanting larva inside their victims bodies. Aside from reproduction, Darkust can do several other things with their victims; they can take physical control over a victim's body, they can use telepathy to torture their victims or remove their powers, and they can mutate their victims into horrifying eldritch creatures.
The Parasites can infect any living thing and survive in any environment.
Benevolent
Divergus does everything he can to be a good leader, protect his people, make them happy, and make up for choosing “Nightmare” just so he could have personal power.
Artifact
"The celestial core", a metal sphere with an arcane star at the center, it's size can be altered at will by Divergus. The core is usually either worn by him as a necklace, or stored somewhere safe. It's enchanted to be impossible to lose.
Partnership
Divergus shares control over his realm with his familiar, she has all of his powers, abilities, and influence, but holds slightly more influence over the realm's governments and is a better leader

Division of the realm
Metallic world (Division World) The planet consists of three separate land masses, each one is covered in dirt, rock, and dead plant life. There is no water on the planet, instead the seas are made of boiling vegetable oil. The atmosphere is cloudy and smoggy, but enough sunlight is let through to support life. The planets weather has only two settings, cloudy and stormy. All of the plant life on the planet is either petrified or metallic, and the animals all have metal skin and acidic blood.
Home world 3 moons: Each one fertile and habitable with a wide range of geographic features. Some have mountains, plains, valleys, cold tundras, and sparse forests, while others have jungles, deserts, and massive seas of trees. All of the moons are covered in various numbers of rivers, seas, and lakes that provide fresh water to the environment.
The Home World itself is fertile, resource rich, and three times the size of Earth. it's covered in a multitude of unique & exciting environments; Hot, humid, and colorful Rainforests, Deserts of both sand and rock, sprawling forests filled with giant trees, snowy tundras, frozen ice caps, rolling hills, deep dark oceans, and flat featureless grassy plains that seem to go on forever.
Aside form the surface environments, the Home World is also host to a massive network of underground caverns, these caverns contain glowing magic crystals, underground pockets of water, and numerous valuable ores. The caverns can be accessed via natural openings like caves and sinkholes.
Asteroid field Bodies of ice, rock, metal, and other materials floating together out in space.
Volcanic world (Division World) 1 moon: Barren and rocky just like Earth's moon.
The eastern hemisphere of the planet is covered in a single, continent spanning, volcanic wasteland. Because of the ash clouds from the volcanoes, the wasteland is almost constantly covered in storms, and darkness. The only habitable environments in the wasteland are a few lakes and pools of boiling water, some of which contain algae and bacteria.
The western hemisphere of the planet is a beautiful archipelago of fertile, volcanic islands. The islands vary widely in size, and are home to hundreds of different types of flora and fauna. Aside from the land, the large blue ocean on the planets western hemisphere also supports a menagerie of plant and animal life, and western hemisphere is also completely free of the harmful ash clouds found in the eastern hemisphere, allowing sunlight to shine through the atmosphere. Valuable minerals and ores would be found all across the planet if someone were to mine for them.
Dark world (Division World) 1 moon: Barren and rocky just like Earth's moon.
The planet is one giant continuous jungle, there are a few mountains, clearings, lakes, and swamps to break up the environment a bit, but other than that there is nothing on the planet except jungle and rainforest. There is an energy field around the atmosphere that weakens sunlight, and nullifies magic. Both the flora and fauna consist of organisms that could are found on the Home World.
The Dark World is home to the realm's “Nightmare”, and thus extremely dangerous to all organic life.
Frozen word (Division World) Nearly the entire planet is a frozen wasteland, there are vast plains of snow, icy mountainous, and frozen bodies of water all across the surface. The only habitable points on the planet are the small oases along the equator, and the fresh water caverns found below the surface.
