Alright, haha, so I also did this in the original post for JosephBlakeParker and of course I did it as ReishaTerrin and you can find it here. Not much has changed… well, no, that's not true things are always changing because this is part of my world building stage. I didn’t post the timeline before because of the format and there’s a bit much and it can get confusing. It’s still confusing, but a little more organized. This is a work-in-progress…

So to begin, the timeline in my story centers around a fictitious world—I’d like to have as High-fantasy, but I’m not opposed to the idea of having some science fiction elements to it if i can make it work— So really my time-line begins with a dying world. In this dying world, Humanity is nearly gone, the world/planet has suffered greatly of eons of abuse and war and disasters mainly at the hand of humans (because humans are disgusting creatures: Personal opinion, sorry.) The original world is dying and the goddess/deity of that, Palia abandoned it to its own destruction. Palia’s daughter Morgiana (I might change the name later) give the world new life with in a realms of her own creation and adopts it as her child, saving what remaining life she could. The difference of this new world is that more species and creatures exist and the darkness that ultimately was part of the previous world is still there.



Rebirth of Toruune


???: Morgiana creates the race of Seraphim in pairs; one male one female


???: The Seraphim are brought before the Great tree, tasked with helping the Goddess create the world in her vision. Among them are Certheus, Nakgi, Kuskyn, Jahnee, Satriya, Cordelia and Armin.

???: Morgiana and the seraphim bring the seasons: growing of the first forests,bringing icy tundras and the deserts to the world. Morgiana creates non-humanoid creatures to dwell among them.

For the map part. Well… I’ve never done a map before. Haha. *insert overly dramatic music here* But, it’s true I have never done a map but I’ve always like the idea of doing one because I like a visual outline but…. I’ve never done one so I’m not really sure if i even did it right. I had help with it. (my beautiful friend Sam helped me) but as you can tell looking at it, it’s not done and it just an outline of continents So this was… is a fun first time for me(and Sam). SO I hope it correct.

Wow, this is good and super-detailed. I don't know how much you plan on sharing with the audience, but I imagine it will be a lot. 

My recommendation would be to start thinking about little moral stories for children, or little memorable poems that will appear in your story. Not just one for the whole background, but several. Make them simplistic and entertaining, like religious stories. Telling the background in short and memorable snippets may end up being a powerful way in which to give all this background without overwhelming your audience. This isn't the only way to do this, of course. But it's an option to consider.
