Yedistren

Yedistren is the Mortal Plane of Lethurèa, originally created as the first realm of existence. It was the initial home of all spirits, who were sorted into the Five Spirit Tribes by the Divine Parents, Merrik Jenlek and Meera Jenlek. During this era, it was a nebular auroral expanse, beautiful and harmonious, filled with divine light and cosmic wonder.

However, with the rise of Malis and the eruption of the True First War, Yedistren was ravaged beyond recognition. After Malis was banished to Gozog’nok, the uncorrupted spirits migrated to It'slémwé, and Yedistren was left broken. It was only through the intervention of the First-Flames that it was healed and reorganized into what it is now—a living, dynamic universe where mortal life is born, tested, and exalted.

History

Creation and Purpose

• Formed by Lethurèa under the guidance of the Divine Parents.
• Became the first dwelling of newly-born spirits.
• Spirits were sorted into the Elesèa Tribe, Volamin Tribe, Haavolin Tribe, Kiitikon Tribe, and Sebuuk Tribe.

The True First War

• Initiated by the rebellion of Malis and the rise of the Malisik.
• A metaphysical war where all regions of Yedistren were scarred—no quadrant was spared.
• Signs of the war were later erased to prevent corruption and trauma from enduring.

Restoration by the First-Flames

• The First-Flames were chosen as spirit-lords and divine architects.
• Under the direction of Merrik Jenlek, Meera Jenlek, and Lethurèa, they restructured Yedistren into a mortal-sustaining realm.
• Their great work began at the Heart of Yedistren, where they built the luminous Grand Citadel—now the spiritual and gravitational center of the realm.

Transition to the Mortal Realm

• After the war, the surviving spirits departed to It'slémwé.
• Yedistren was redefined as the Mortal Plane, where all physical beings would dwell.
• Every living mortal in Lethurèa exists within Yedistren.

Cosmology and Metaphysics

Structure of Lethurèa’s Planes

• Gozog’nok – Realm of Darkness and Imprisonment
• Yedistren – Realm of Mortality
• Voyd – Realm of Energy and Ethereal Force
• It'slémwé – Realm of Light and Divine Afterlife

Sentience and Memory

• Yedistren is not conscious itself, but is part of the sentient being Lethurèa, who mourns, remembers, and protects the Divine Parents' children.
• Lethurèa is bound by the Law of Non-Obstruction, but guides events subtly in service to his charge.

Incarnation and Spiritual Mechanics

• The soul of each mortal is chosen by Meera Jenlek and guided by the Naa'ôna into their mortal form.
• The first kick or first chirp is the moment the spirit enters the body.
• The process is sacred and visible to mothers in their dreams.

Transcendence

• A process by which a spirit leaves its body behind and becomes a Mature Spirit (Lethurèa), ascending into It'slémwé.
• This is often the goal of righteous mortals or bonded lifemates.

Governance and Stewardship

The First-Flame Ministries

• Ruled for the First Two Mortal Eons.
• Their ministries were structured into:
  • Elder Council
  • Grand Councils
  • Great Councils
  • High Councils
  • Regional Councils
• These governed regions ranging from galaxies to individual planets.

The Sherok Empire

• Formed by First-Flame edict.
• Became the dominant mortal governing body in Yedistren until the High Valorèin Rebellion.
• Afterward, First-Flames withdrew to the Cities in the Stars.

Anomalies and Mysteries

Metaphysical Scars

• Though the war-torn surface was cleansed, the void between stars still holds places where the laws of energy, time, and matter fray.
• These scars are rarely visited, accessible only to starships or powerful spiritual vessels.

Malisik Activity

• No remnants remain from the war, but during the One War, Malisik spirits were temporarily loosed and given unnatural bodies.
• Upon death, their souls are recalled by Malis to Gozog’nok, preventing lingering corruption.

Cultural and Divine Significance

Festivals and Remembrance

• Though no physical scars remain, some cultures in Yedistren honor Days of Memory or gather beneath sacred constellations to honor fallen spirits.
• These rituals vary by species, and often reference aurora storms or war-era star alignments.

Mythology and Theology

• Yedistren is a bridge: once heaven, now earth.
• It is considered sacred, sorrowful, and hopeful all at once—a reminder that even paradise can fall, but also be reborn.

Notable Locations

• Grand Citadel – Central structure built by the First-Flames at the heart of Yedistren.
• Cities in the Stars – Retreat of the First-Flames after the High Valorèin Rebellion.
• Stars – Dimensional thresholds between the planes of Lethurèa.
