The First Lands
There is a world and time removed from our own, populated with people and pokemon like our own, and facing strife and growth like our own. Unlike our own, there are gods among Pokemon ruling and governing it, unlike our own there are orders decreed by them, unlike our own there are laws enforced by them. This world shall be known to us as the First Lands, Luminous Arceus, the all-father of the world, graced it with radiance first. Thus it is known by the word of the great Arc's Church scriptures.
This world is governed by the gods, who oversee the tidings of their mortal charges.
Below the gods act the Forces upon the lands.
