Promising Unofficial EtG Cosmology

[ARTHANASIOS]

Ok guys, I think it is time to make another attempt to create a Promising Unofficial cosmology & lore to elements the game. So here we go. I am going to create polls and put plenty of ideas in there and the winner ideas are going to determine some core aspects of the EtG cosmology. After that, we can discuss about more specific stuff, like dimensions, planets, continents, countries, landscapes, city-states, towns & villages and any other special/specific places of EtG universe.
I am going to use the results to create the world of an upcoming indirect PvP/RPG I have in mind.
You can vote for none, one or any number of voting options as well as changing your votes afterwards.
If you vote for an "Other (please specify below)" option, please post in this thread that other option of yours and explain what it is. Thanks!

The polls are running for...[/size]

We already have something like this.

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/competitions/the-official-unofficial-lore-of-elements/

It's closed at the moment because it's something to discuss on (between COs).

Since it's a Nae's idea, i'd like to give her the honor to carry on the project...

Please, don't open multiple threads on the same topic.

I know about Nae's project.
I just figured this is a quite different thing so it was ok to have a totally different topic.
What if I rename the title of the topic?
Should I lock the topic or let it run to see what kind of results it may has?
Thanks.

This is more or less the idea I've got about elements as a whole (also, I've been, slowly but surely, writing a fan-fic on elements which features most of these concepts):
The Elements were initially just one. I would have called that Aether, if it wasn't already an Element. Let's call it Chaos. Chaos then divided into the twelve Elements we know through a Supernova (that fills thematically too, doesn't it?). Those Elements tried to get the power Chaos had, but, having their distinct traits, they all got something other don't, or are inclined to something (Fire just loves rushes, doesn't it?).
Before continuing, I would like to state that everything has an Element "seed" in itself. Objects with a Seed of Light are under control of Light, for example. This is exactly what made Chaos so strong: it could control EVERYTHING.
The objects which have the very essence of the Elemental Seeds are the Elemental Pillars which sustain the life forms of each Realm/Kingdom but are, at the same time, sustained by the Elementals of their own Element. Elementals are those who've got the most power in a specific Element, having even Dragons, who are the strongest life forms entirely made up of their element's quanta, under their control.
The Rare Weapons were forged by each Element's Elemental as soon as the Supernova divided the Chaos into the Elements using Shards to give them power. Shards are the most powerful remaints of the Chaos Empire: they are, indeed, the fragments of the Sacred Relic, which was the object which ruled in the Chaos, keeping things under control.
You might also have noticed how some Rare Weapons need Quanta from other Elements to get at their strongest: that's due to them being copies, adapted to fit their element, of the Sacred Weapons (Dirk, Long Sword, Gavel and Long Bow) and thus still having traits of Chaos which tried to uniform everything, getting both the strength of the Fire Seed with the calm of Water Seed and so on.
Although everything has been divided into Elements, though, something has kept the ability of use Quanta from multiple Elements: the Sacred Weapons. However, the scism didn't leave them untouched: having to deal with multiple kind of Quanta being broken up made their power fall greatly.
Other than those object who "survived" the scism, there are other creatures who, seeking unity again (or power, for the most selfish ones), created spell who can be casted by anyone or mastered the control of another kind of Quanta (Seraph is the only one I've already explained in my fanfic).

That's the most basic of the summaries I could put together, without going too much into details for spoilers regarding my fanfic.

I'm not a mod here.

Feel free to running this post unless a mod locks it.

In case, we'll add this to the official one.

My theory is dumb, because it originates from reality. Elements is a game (not computer, but game), where the elements are resources, quanta are the amounts of resources, cards are basically built up from the respective quanta of elements and those who play are called the elementals or elementalists in different cultures. If I would want to add history, I'd say it's an ancient mayan/aztec game.

It's been a long time but zanz put most of this together 5 years ago.

An Elementalist doesn't exist in the official terminology.
According to the front page, an Elemental is you, a being of pure energy as represented by your mark.
The Elements are the raw powers of this universe, that counter balance in a W format.  There is a picture of it somewhere on an old forum I remember.
Quanta is the raw energy of a given element.
There is a single world in a particular plane of existence that houses the Elementals.
As Elementals age and grow more powerful, they gain additional stamina and speed.
Some Elementals have become so powerful, that they appear to not play by the rules, and have declared themselves Gods.
The Cards themselves represent nothing other than the abilities an Elemental is able to call forth, be it spells, summon creature, or control permanents.

Atleast that's what I remember Zanz said, not that we really care anymore.

Spike has asked some people (like Higs) if I can retakeover the official-unofficial lore "competition", which I'm okay with, so if I hear back from them about that I'll let people here know. I'm also going to, if asked to resume it, try and find a way to host the information better.

Your name is almost 'prophet'. Why wouldn't you know about it in the first place?

[ARTHANASIOS]

I changed the name from "Official-unofficial" to "Promising Unofficial". 2 new polls added. I am going to use the results of this poll to create an indirect PvP/RPG event I have in mind.
