Arda

Arda is a reality with a central consciousness that takes different names depending on which age of it is being referred to. It started out as a paradise with multiple different kinds, but one4 group delved to deep and was transformed by it, so that when they returned to the surface, they unleashed an industrial revolution that led to the setting of the sun, and the falling of the stars onto the world, now a sea of fire. each star created an island of warm basalt around itself, a different race going to each, and evolving seperatly. The islands grew until the fire sea was tamed. the remaining kinds worked to create a paradise, all the stars coming together in two lamps that lit up Arda.
