In the lore I'm working on. Vertisma used to be multiple beings called Vertismians. until they were all killed off after a huge war with the humans. (Neither side won) Millions of years later, the Vertismian's corpses merged and formed a giant mesh of the Vertismian's material which was the first phase of Vertisma. And sooner or later, it was also killed off and etc. etc. (It's really long lore...)
Btw this is their war song. It is called "Born to Kill". Lyrics: (Verse) Blood of our father, flows in our veins, With every strike, we break their chains. Born to kill, we heed the call, The enemy trembles, as we stand tall. Born to kill, born to reign, Our destiny written, in blood and pain. Onward we march, with hearts of steel, For victory's ours, their fate is sealed. (Chorus) Blood of our father, flows in our veins, With every strike, we break their chains. Born to kill, we heed the call, The enemy trembles, as we stand tall. Born to kill, born to reign, Our destiny written, in blood and pain. Onward we march, with hearts of steel, For victory's ours, their fate is sealed.
