History

Origin

Gemworld was a planet located in another dimension that was originally controlled by the Lords of Chaos. However, thousands of years ago, magic began to drop on the planet Earth due to an alignment of the stars that was caused by one of them going nova. As a result, the Homo Magi sorceress Citrina went to Gemworld where she struck a deal with the Lords of Chaos. This was with the intention of creating a realm for Homo Magi and Faerie that wanted to emigrate from Earth. The deal was made and the nature of the arrangement was kept secret from the inhabitants of Gemworld. In time, it was ruled by 12 Royal Houses of Gemworld with the most prominent being the House of Amethysts who were the most powerful magic users in their realm. They became the natural rulers of Gemworld until Dark Apol arose and slew Amethyst's parents. As a result, Gemworld fell under Dark Opal's rule for the next twenty years until an alliance was formed with the other 11 Houses by Amethyst who succeeded in overthrowing their rule.

Sometime afterwards, a war was fought between the Lords of Order and Chaos. This saw the Lords of Chaos deciding to end their agreement that created Gemworld and sought to reclaim it where they dispatched one of their number known as the Child to accomplish this act. The Child battled Amethyst who was only able to stop him by merging with him whereupon the two merged with Gemworld itself which trapped them both. During the Infinite Crisis, Amethyst battled the Spectre on Gemworld where she was able to repel his assault on the planet.
