PumpkinWood & Caelum Lore

About the lore

This is a story about the creation of two towns, PumpkinWood and Caelum. The two towns colaborated in creating this lore as they are very close by and have had somewhat simmilar ideas and correlations. Of course the lore is purely fictional, not to be considered seriously.

THE BEGINNING (year 0):

Once, a long, long time ago, before the beginning of time itself, there was a seed. Traveling through infinte matter and timeless loopholes it had, allas, reached a safe place. One safe place in the circle of many rotten and corrupted realms, one safe place in all of reality, The Lands of The Overworld. There, as it descended on to the untouched ground, it saw potential for somethin far far greater, somethin that the world in its current state never saw. Time. Time and life. It has decided. The holy seed planted itself into the rich dirt and grass exploting all of its greatness. Not long after, a giant star formed near the Overworld, the sun. Not long after the moon. Oceans started forming, mountains rising. And beings evolving. The seed had chosen correctly. This world was perfect for it to grow to its full, god like form.

THE AGES OF INTELIGENCE (year 100_000):

At the very brink of the last moon, setting in the year 99_999, a new form of life has appeared. They seemed to be... Inteligent... Unlike any other beings the tree saw in the during its time in this holy Overworld. The beings seemed to know how to use the raw materials which existed in the world around them. They learned how to start a fire, how to craft various tools. How to hunt for food and farm for goods. They seemed happy. As they were. One day...one of the beings found the ancient seed, in the stage of a young plant. The being wanted to remove the plant, as it was in the way of his farm. Tho, the plant had spoke. The farmer backed up in fear, as never has he seen such a miracle. The plant kindly asks wether he could spare her the place where she had grown. The farmer, being kind hearted, agreed to do so. He planted his crops around the miracle plant and even made a stone barrier in between. Thus the plant was left in peace to grow. Until...one day... It gave its first fruit. Or rather, the small indication of a fruit to be. The farmer saw that upon the plants request, watered it. Not long after, the fruit grew into somethin. A round, big orange like ball. With a sort of light inside. The plant said "Take this fellow farmer, as a gift for you kindness and care over a silly plant". The farmer accepted. Every 2 days the miracle plant would grow another fruit, but without the strange glow. The farmer asked what the fruit's name is tho the plant remained silent. The farmer, left in that very silence thought of a name. He named the fruit "A PUMPKIN". He decided to spread the knowledge of the holy plant and fruit, from now on refered to as the pumpkin. The word spread like a wild fire and soon everyone knew about it. The pumpkins were edible and tasty. An organization was created. Called the "Pumins pro" dedicated to protect the pumpkin giving plant no matter the cost. They had built a wizard tower around the plant. Tho after one year, another glowing pumpkin grew. The town was named PumpkinWood.

THE AGES OF GODS (year 110_000):

About 10_000 years from the from the discovery and documentation of pumpkins, the beings, who now call themselves humans, have expanded and grown as a nation and race quite frankly during the past couple of thousands of years. They have built towns, schools, libraries, forges, farms, towers and lots more. The miracle plant, now proclaimed as the Holy Pumpkin Tree by the locals, had seen what simbolism it has to the beings. It indeed made the Overworld a better place. Tho what it did not see is a hidden, underground laboratory, under the very tower where it was being protected. The most inteligent brains and chemists in the world gathered there to study the effects of pumpkins, specifically, pumpkin pies. How could such a simple, tasty treat like that offer so much possibilities to the one who eats it. After testing the effects on 10 volunteers they had seen the wonders of the pie. It had made them immortal. They seemded to have also gained powers unlike anythin they knew. They were able to lift heavy objects and create un-existing materials. There was one key fact to the pie tho. It was not ordinary pie that was to be made from normal growing pumpkins, but from the plant itself, the glowing pumpkin. It had the essence of immortality. These so called "gods" could now be born every 100 years, as thats how long it took for the Holy Pumpkin Tree to grow one glowing pumpkin. The gods, of which 6 were men and 4 women, decided to create their own, godlike town with unique structural capabilities and properties. They used a cold material, not found anywhere in the Overworld because they created it. They called it SNOW. They would summon a new type of weather by freezing the water particles of rain in the sky. The snow would cover large areas on top of mountains. They would collect it and construct vast building. There was a side affect tho. The very snow they created, was no longer in their control. Rain coulds would now, by themselves freeze water and produce snow particles. Thus a new biome formed. Unlike all the current warm, kind of tropical biomes, this one was very freezing. It had a new type of vegetation, spruce trees. And seemingly, wolves liked to inhabit these cold areas. The biome, now called the TAIGA, was rather rare, as the clouds needed to be high enough for snow to produce. The gods, not really caring about the new biomes, continued to create their own town, which they called Caelum. It grew and grew, from large snow structures, water foundations and ice sculptures, to floating islands. The land was peacful... For a while... The gods grew greedy... They wanted more power. They started taking all the pumpkins away from the locals and depositing them in their stronghold. If the locals would resist, they would use brutal force, thus ending in the death of a few. As they grew more cruel and greedy, the locals grew more poor and devastated. Then a miracle happens. The original Holy Pumpkin Tree had grown another seed, another tree to be born from the dirt. The gods took it from the people and planted it on the highest floating island. This lasted for about 100 years until, one day, one of the godesses, realized that what they are doing is wrong... And rebelled against the other gods. She tried to convince them to stop but they did not listen. She was forced to take action. As she did. She realized that only a god can kill another god, so she killed the evil gods, all except one, Ramadusk. They fought for 1 month. Till in the fragmet of space, an enormous force had been created when their swords struck eachother and destroyed most of caelum. Tho the force had also taken affect on the 2 gods. Each suffering fatal wounds, they said their last words. Ramadusk, the evil one, cursed the godess for rebelling on them and as his last act, he destroyed the two Holy Pumpkin Trees, because if he cant have the power, no one else will. While the godess, named Helena, put all of her remaining strength and power to preserve what was left of the Overworld, as of the oncoming destruction. PumpkinWood remained untouched and the town grew. Documenting everything they knew about the gods in the library for the ages to come. Sadly, after all of that, the town fell in ruins, as an earthquacke destroyed it and killed all inhabitants. The Overworld was now at peace.

THE NEW AGES (year 1M):

A portal appeared. In the wilderness, in the Overworld. Throught it comes, a hand, then rest of a body. Humans! From another universe. Two of them stepped out of the portal before it closed. They looked around... And saw a world filled with history. Ruins, mountains, lakes, oceans, wildlife. They decided to stay. The first of the two humans decided to settle in the ancient ruins of a medieval-like town. The only thing that seemed intact was the underground library of some sort of tower. Lots of knowledge to be learned about this world and seemingly, the people of the past used the same language as them. Reconstruction had begun. Since almost every other building was severly destroyed beyond recognition he had only rebuilt them out of pure creativity and thought as to what they all could have been. The second human, went a bit further away into the world, and thus stumbled across some sort of floating snow town. It seemed to be sort of...out of the ordinary. Kind of liminal as of it being half-melted and there being a weird, dead tree standing on the floating island with one lonely, orange looking plant. Since MKguinea messaged him that he had found the ancient knowledge of this world he decided to put aside naming things. And so the two humans, known as MKguinea and gojjgojj have put their full building skills and ideas to rebuild the past of this ancient world. Building more and more as the time flows. After about a year of restless work they connected the two towns with a railway system. Seemingly enough Caelum could be seen from the very reconstructed tower. After a while they decided to call in the other humans from their realm as they deemed that the "Overworld", as the ancients called it, is a safe place for a new home. The people that moved in have started to build their own houses, all with different styles and ideas. The towns are, up to this day, slowly but surely, growing and expanding.
