Aphrosia - History

The story of Aphrosia begins twenty million years ago in the Abyss. A demon-lord named Zultanti wanted to bypass the tedium of corrupting and tempting souls and create demons from scratch. The process made demonkind the denitrivores of souls, Zultanti believed, and it subsequently made replenishing the numbers of demon armies all the more difficult. After mere decades of experimentation on her thralls she finally succeeded. Zultanti then used her newfound talent to conjure up a succubus whom she named Rolelle.

Zultanti's creation possessed devastating magical talents, insight, and powers. And as Rolelle served Zultanti for centuries, it became clear that the experiment was a success. However, news of Zultanti's triumph spread to the other layers of the Abyss and soon more powerful demon lords began to demand the knowledge with threats, bargaining, or whatever angle they could muster. Wanting to escape the pressure, Zultanti decided that she needed to create a mobile sub-plane. One that the other demon lords could not track, or enter. However, to do so she would need additional succubi to focus their powers. By her calculations she would need to make fifteen extra succubi, or sixteen in total.

So began the existences of Rolelle's sisters. Each of them named: Ranelle, Rania, Razera, Rendeno, Retera, Rezaz, Rezen, Riitil, Rino, Roca, Roga, Ronova, Roquella, Rora, Rovin, Roxila, Ruvina, and Ryuni. Each of them possessing vast intelligence and power. And each of them loyal to Zultanti.

After finishing their production, Zultanti had her creations manifest the sub-plane. Just as they had created it, however, Zultanti's palace was attacked by the demon lord Tarkantis and his horde. Before Zultanti and her creations could escape, Tarkantis slew her with a magical arrow that oblierated her instantly. Using flaming chains, he bound Rolelle and her sisters. Imprisoning their souls and enslaving them to do his bidding.

For five thousand years Rolelle and her sisters were forced to commit atrocities and despicable acts in service of Tarkantis. Every mission, every assignment, every little thing they were ordered to do seemed to be worse than the last. Until, an apprentice mage coming into her own named Mezzanine accidentally summoned Rolelle one night.

At first Rolelle thought to kill the careless mage, but when Mezzanine trapped her, protecting herself from harm, Rolelle began to converse with her. After days of intermittent conversation, the two became friends. By the end of a year, Mezzanine had convinced Rolelle that she had a way to free both her and her sisters from Tarkantis. However the plan would require help from an especially powerful and eccentric being named Oryan. One whom was benevolent, omnipotent, but also quite unpredictable. After preparing a case to persuade Oryan to help them free Rolelle and her sisters, Oryan decided to do so on a whim saying that it would be funny to watch Tarkantis' reaction.

In an instant, Oryan used her powers to break the spells and curses on Rolelle's sisters and transported them away from the Abyss. Additionally she mended the spiritual and emotional damage caused by Tarkantis and liberated their souls to choose for themselves what they wished to do. Oryan also warped into Tarkantis' lair, mocked him, downed a mug of hard liquor, and flipped him off before vanishing.

With their newfound freedom, Rolelle and her sisters decided to wage an eternal war against the Abyss. But on their terms and in their own way. Mezzanine offered her help, and Oryan decided that she wanted a place where she could get a quality lay. Together, the group found the old sub-plane that Zultanti had created ages ago.

Unfortunately the sub-plane had been invaded by the demon-lord Guranth in the ages since its creation. Now it was a burnt, scorching wasteland with a city-sized obsidian palace. After a year of fighting, Rolelle, her sisters, and Mezzanine liberated the palace, ousted Guranth, and claimed the sub-plane for themselves. Oryan showed up, inebriated, and with a hiccup she dragged over an abandoned plane that was being used as a garbage dump for the other planes. This gave Rolelle and Mezzanine an idea: they would seek out other, abandoned planes and meld them together into a realm of their own. One where they could indulge in their sexual desires without being forced to make it evil, as they had been for thousands of years.

One by one Rolelle, Mezzanine, and her sisters sought out planes, pocket dimensions, and more, getting more and more powerful as they went. In their travels they discovered races that had been abandoned by gods and goddesses over the years as well as refugees who wished to escape the strife of the planes. One of these races was the erow, a nomadic people whose civilization had collapsed and now wandered on a deteriorating plane. Needing people to run the acquired planes, and not wanting to leave these people to suffer, Rolelle and company incorporated these peoples into the population of Aphrosia. After several centuries, they finally manged to make a coherent realm. One built around what they enjoyed greatly: sex. And so they named the realm “Aphrosia”, hoping to make it a world of beauty and pleasure.

However, the forces of the Abyss were not pleased with this development right under their nose. Which is precisely why Oryan shielded Aphrosia and its acquisitions from outside invaders, as well as mocked the demon lords about failing to do so. Saying that she thought it'd be extremely funny to watch the excessively serious demons fail at taking a giant cathouse.

Mezzanine had long since become a master mage in her own right, from the ages of journeying with Rolelle and her sisters. When she was offered a political position by Rolelle, who had basically become the immortal queen of Aphrosia at this point, Mezzanine refused saying that it would be way too boring of a job for her.

So for the many, many years since, Rolelle and her sisters have ruled over Aphrosia. Playing the long game by denying The Nine Hells and the Abyss the souls of the lewd, yet not criminal, who wish to merely live a life full of erotica and pleasure without being evil about it. Thereby cutting off part of their supply of souls and weakening their power, albeit only a slight amount.

These days, people visit Aphrosia as a vacation destination. Since it's said to have the absolute best brothels, spas, and more. This plane-tourism has caused for an economic boom in Aphrosia. One that has helped it sustain itself economically for ages.
