I think I might eventually set a fantasy story in the world I created for Seedling.
Any objections?

It will likely have nothing to do with Seedling, and be set in an entirely different continuity, sharing the history up to a certain point.
Probably post-Shattering.

The Shattering was an event which took place on two fronts, the heavenly, and the earthly. The origins go back centuries, but basically, the whispers of the Valghar turned the Asirgar Ascaetter - god of Darkness, chaos, and sickness - against his fellow immortals. He loosed his creations, the Bryrfel upon Dealia, carrying out the Valghar's revenge against Atamethus for casting them down.
Years before, Ascaettr had spawned a dark scion, the First Seedling, Duke Arthnox Debrus, a powerful noble of Rylia. When Ascaettr openly rebelled, so did Arthnox. He conquered the northern half of Rylia, and founded his own kingdom, Cerka. Aided by the Bryfel, he pushed outward into the surrounding lands of Rylia, Haez, and even the Southern Kingdoms.
Caught in the middle were the Ginxae, the first creations of Atamethus. They were also the race that had spawned the Valghar thousands of years prior, five individuals who achieved near god-lik power, but were cast down by Atamethus himself, and the rest denied immortality so tjhat such an event would never occur again. Knowing that the Ginxae still possessed unmatched magical prowess, and devoutly served Atamethus and his Asirgar, Ascaettr turned his Bryrfel army on their city of Iziaraz.
After a fierce war, Arthnox faced the Ginxae alone. As a collective people, the Ginxae summoned all of their magic and used it to destroy Arthnox and lock the Asirgar, Ascaettr away in the Crystal Star. Such an act crystallized the entire population of Ginxae, save for one woman, who carried the Crystal Star deep into the Frozen North and dropped at the bottom of a deep chasm. Since he is a god, he cannot be destroyed by mortals.
That woman vanished from history.
Even with the rouge Asirgar halted, and his army banished, the Shattering permanently scarred Dealia, leaving it severely weakened, and Rylia cleaved in two. Arthno'x son took over his ill-gotten throne and forbade the use of magic by the Verestians who resided within his boundaries. Rylia sealed it's borders.
With one of the Asirgar missing, the circle was incomplete, leaving only ten gods to handle the work of eleven.
