History
Strange was created by the Four Elemental Dragons who existed before the beginning of everything. Their names are Saturday (Earth), Monday (Water), Wednesday (Air), and Friday (Fire). They are gods in their own right, but they cannot create life themselves. So they pulled together dead worlds and Friday breathed new life into them by sacrificing herself to become their hot cores. The 7 worlds will only end when Friday can no longer breathe them life and they sink into the Ever Ocean.

Wednesday, the leader of the Elemental Dragons, opened a Rift in the Universe and began pulling creatures from the nearest Universe, which just so happens to be the one containing Earth and the star system surrounding it. He and the other 2 remaining dragons were the reason for many of the disappearances that happened throughout history. For example: the colony of Roanoke, Pompeii, and Spanish settlements in Mexico and other colonies.

When people and animals are pulled through, they don't stay as what they were. The Rift can't sustain their original forms. So what happens is they are combined to form a new creature. Humans are the most affected. The people of Roanoke, for example, were combined with the Painted Horses they were riding. The Pompeians with the Arabians they were fleeing on, and so on. They got pulled on whatever world the Elemental Dragons saw fit, and populated the worlds.

In the 7th turn of year 1145 A.C, Age of Magic year 0, an Elf known as Lord James Arcanciel, created a theory. He believed that Friday connected all the worlds together and that it was possible to step foot on the other worlds he could only see in the distance. So he forged 6 Cast Iron Keys and used magic to grow trees from the scales off Saturday's back to create portals. He used the key to unlock them and stepped foot for the first time on Tuesday.

Soon, travel between worlds was common, and food was plentiful. Lord Arcanciel died in the 5th turn of year 3378 A.C, Age of magic year 2390. He was buried in the Elvish flower garden on his home world, Wednesday. The same day the 5th turn of 3379 A.C, Age of Magic year 2234, flowers bloomed over his grave.

These flowers changed color depending how far they were from the sun with every color of the rainbow. They were named Lord Arcanciel's Flowers. The Elves tried to cultivate them in their flower gardens, but they only bloomed on the tree over Lord Arcanciel's grave, and in places with a high concentration of magic. Namely the World Portals.

Several thousand years later, Saturday had grown more and more bitter because of the absence of Friday, so he attempted to sink the worlds to get her back. Wednesday, the one who had been making the worlds float, had been severely injured during the fight and could no longer keep them floating, so he and Monday restrained Saturday and let the worlds rest on his head, along his back, and on his tail. The worlds were hit hard, but none as hard as the 7th world, Friday.

Friday was once the crown jewel of the 7 worlds. There was a giant castle looking over a vast sea that was called "The Sea of Lions". Lush forests covered the other half and plains that grew the food. All species living there lived in harmony, until Saturday first lashed his mighty tail. The world was hit with the biggest Earth Quake in history. They called it "The Wrath of Saturday". The castle fell, food dried up and wouldn't grow anymore, and the peace was broken.

Representatives of the races who lived there agreed to leave Friday for the safety of their people, and moved to Thursday, the only other planet they could live on and survive. The Keeper of the Key closed the portal to Friday to prevent anyone from putting themselves in danger. Furious tremors and chaos befell the other worlds, so the 6 remaining leaders agreed that it would be best to seal the portals completely until peace could be restored and until Saturday ceased to terrorize the worlds.

The portals were sealed, and the keys were lost. They still remain sealed to this day. That marked the end of the Age of Magic, 3rd turn of year 5823 A.C, Age of Magic year 4678.

In the 6th turn of year 7265, Age of Terror year 1442, the Seers of the Dwarves on Saturday found a Prophecy. It said that there would be 2 Other Worlders who would come to their universe through the fabled Universe Portal that is said to be on the Head World, Saturday. Universe Portal was discovered by Lord Arcanciel in his travels. It's on a floating island with a small stream flowing under it which turns into a waterfall at the end and disappears into mist. Many believe that it is the Rift created by the Elemental Dragons that brought their ancestors to the Head World at the beginning of time. But these 2 Other Worlders will be like no other species. They'll find the keys, reopen the World Portals, and defeat Saturday once and for all.
