How Monshape came to be

Monshape was born from a world on the brink of collapse. After the once-powerful Zenithian race nearly vanished in the Great Massacre while protecting a legendary programming code, the remaining mutant species fell into endless conflict. This division opened the door for an ancient enemy, The Voidborn, to return and hunt for the code’s hidden core algorithm.

In response, five heroes from rival tribes united and eventually found Astraea, a young Zenithian prodigy. Together, they discovered that the algorithm’s six fragments were secretly embedded within their own bodies. Only by awakening these pieces could the code be restored.

When the six fragments finally converged, the legendary code reactivated, destroying The Voidborn and ending the chaos. With peace restored, Astraea and the five heroes founded Monshape, a new world built on unity, technology, and shared strength.
