Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was asked for, and it was received.

Welcome to the First Gaian Church of the Divine Tree.

The Divine Tree is the source of all life...it is the greatest Tree, planted by the Soa himself...from it, stems all life. Here is the story of its creation...

In the beginning the world was barren, empty and lifeless...Soa and his followers sought to fix this, and so they planted a great tree, from which all life would stem...
The seed was planted...at first, nothing happened. But then, the tree grew, only a little, but bit by bit, and it grew taller and faster, until it towered over the land! It's roots, thicker than the core of the world, spread...and then...

The Divine Tree bore fruit...108 fruits, and from each fruit came a new species of creature...from the smallest plant to the hulking Gigantos and from the small, spry and intelligent Minintos to the powerful masters of magic, the wingly's. And of course, the humans and the dragons. Because of the dragons power however, their intelligence was reduced to the of only slightly above beasts. The humans and the winglys were much different to the other species.

The humans were made to be bigger than the Minintos, but smaller than the Gigantos, more intelligent than dragons, but with no magic. However, the winglys were like humans in almost every single way, except for 2 things...their platinum hair, and their mastery of magic. They were considered the most powerful of all the species produced by the Divine Tree.

However this power came with a cost...not to the winglys, but to all others. The winglys became proud, cruel...and took all they saw. They enslaved all the species and using their magic and their slaves, built great floating cities in the sky. Many of Soa's creations died out during their brutal reign.

Ahh, but what is it you ask? How is it then that humans now spread across the land with their own cities? Very well then...Ah now, lets see...Ah-hah! Here it is!

The humans however, did not stay subdued. They formed alliances with the dragons, and with their spirits, 7 chosen bacame the Dragoons...the Dragon Knights. And so began the Dragon Campaign.

It was a long and bloody campaign...but the humans defeated the winglys with the help of the Dragoons, and freed the land and the other races from the winglys corrupt hold. The land was divided into four continents for the humans to rule. And that was the last anyone saw of the winglys... And now, the humans have searched for the Divine Tree for some time although all have failed, for the Tree is protected by the Signets of Soa...only when the signets break shall the Divine Tree be revealed...

That is how Soa brought life to the land...and how humans broke free of the winglys reign and took the world for themselves.

Unfortunately, our church currently has no symbol. We would appreciate a banner, or a symbol of some sort from you, the people...

(This good guys?)
