History[edit | edit source]
- Main article: Putty song
In the beginning, there existed nothing but a song for no one to hear, until someone who was no one came to understand it. This "someone," a man, ventured all day in search of who was singing the song of warmth. As he imagined the singer, she appeared before him and they sang together, creating sentient wind from music, and eventually an land of wind. Children were nurtured by the land of wind and grew up to become the wind people, but as time went on, the wind faded from the land and it was dubbed "the lifeless."
Once every song in the world ended, the wind people could no longer bear children, so they sang their own song on the desolate earth, causing it to become strong and solid. The wind people vanished after the land was reborn, giving rise to the society of earth people capable of shaping the land to their desire. The earth peoples' song caused fire and wind to collide, producing water. However, this water was filled with blood and wiped out the earth people in a great flood, plunging the land into a watery abyss which created the water people. While the waters were bereft of intelligence, the sunken land sang its song of the end, and the water people sang a melody woven with water. Volcanic rage beneath the ocean brought about many storms, uniting the elements of fire, wind, and earth up to the heavens. After a great tempest came and went, the majestic wood people were born. The wood people sang praises of each other's beauty, entitling themselves the first "true people" after gazing into the sun's majestic light.
One of the wood people assumed the role of king, and as he observed the stars above, the sun emitted five streams of light that gave power to the planets. The king, named Vermicelli, sailed through the skies and hopped betwixt the planets before setting foot on Nova inside the sun. The light that created the universe, the queen of light, encouraged Vermicelli to sing despite his self-doubt and embarrassment. Vermicelli then ran to a cave where he sang the song of the beginning in solitude, reciting the melody until his voice fell silent. He could sense his own death, to which he felt a new song reverberate in his heart - his song of the end. Vermicelli's chanting summoned many monsters, but he refused to stop. As the song of the end echoed throughout the cosmos, the people grew fearful, and a war sparked between the five planets. To drive their fears away in the darkest hour, the people sang their own song, focusing the light of the five planets at one central point. This unity gave rise to the planet of hope, Kovomaka, and in an effort to prevent it from clashing with the other five planets, the queen of light created life for it and cast it to the outer reaches of Baklava.
Several hundred million years later, an orbiting neutron star called Shadra experienced a peak in magical energy. This caused a new sun to form around Shadra, which merged into the original sun that contained Nova. Instead of coexisting alongside Nova, Shadra occupied a parallel dimension instead, allowing the two planets to switch places according to the universe's fluctuating magical balance. When the two suns merged together, the Starway and Phunnel Pit were spontaneously created to bridge Nova and Shadra's dimensions.[1] A rift beneath Nova's Glissini Caves used to connect the two planets' domains, until the collision of plasma and matter sealed it shut.[2]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Its name comes from 'baklava', a Turkish pastry made with nuts and syrup.

References[edit | edit source]
- ↑ Fondue: "The dark planet was once just another planet rotating the sun. During a peak in the planet’s energy, it created a new sun, and that sun was absorbed into this one. That’s when the Siphon Caves and the Glissini Caves and the Starway were created."
- ↑ Fondue: "There was once a dimensional hole here that led to the dark planet. The interaction of matter and plasma has plugged it shut, but the natural energies of the planets may force it open again."
