General Timeline

Titans are primordial elemental beings that represent the raw power of nature. They are the building blocks of the world and the forces that shape it. These massive beings are not divine entities, but rather a part of the world itself. They do not possess personalities or individual wills, but instead, they represent the elements they are associated with.

There are many Titans in Yavarra, each representing a different aspect of the world. Some of them are active and constantly shaping the landscape, while others are dormant and only awaken in times of great need. Titans are the source of primal magic, which is one of the magic traditions in Yavarra.
