The Reckoning of Gods
The Reckoning of Gods
As a result of the God Wars, the world and the Great Binding itself was near destruction, with the plea carried to the World Forger from the Belthurian dragons by the Firstborn his attention turned back to the heart of his Great Binding, for the first time the planes saw the wrath of the God to gods. Amid a massive final conflict between the gods where Ruul’Rathor was unleashed the World Forger sent forth unto the Material Plane his avatar.
Any attempt to call this a war had long since passed, now all that existed on the material plane was the slaughter of those who were between the warring gods. At this point, any victory would be purely pyrrhic and more tragedy than celebration. The battlefield sundered, soaked in blood a perfect representation for the world, as the jaws of the great devourer sought to claim another god it was then that the world shook. An energy overtook the world the likes that have never been felt before and in the middle of the battle, a Draconic-mountain of obsidian scale formed bearing on its back wings that could blot out the sun over countries and five heads wreathed in fiery wrath. The World Forger had heard our pleas.-Excerpt from a Draconic recounting of the God Wars. Those gods that dd not immediately fall to their knees in submission faced the wrath of the World Forger, the Sunderer being the one that stood her ground the longest being so empowered by the destruction that had taken place across the world. When Ruul’Rathor was sent against the avatar it was almost immediately put down, but that was not enough knowing that such a beast would just regenerate if left unchecked he added further humiliation to the Sunderer by turning her deadliest weapon into a chariot for a temple to the World Forger. The avatar drove massive golden energy spears into the eyes of the beast that burns with radiant energy eternally forever blinding the beast. From there chains were manifested that lead up to the temple from the spears in the eye to serve as a means to guide the beast. Forever would it carry the temple of the World Forger while roaming the world between dying again and again from its wounds or blindly wandering in oceans and drowning. In a final act of defiance, the Sunderer called forth a meteor of adamantine to destroy the world once and for all. She would fail, once against outmatched by the might of the World Forger’s avatar who struck the meteor severing chunks of the massive metal meteor and deflecting the rest, using these chunks he formed large spikes that he used to drive into the world to break the continents apart and force them apart. Many of these spikes still exist within the world some of which were used to eventually create the Obelisks of Creation, and the Adamantine Palace in Mordereth is one of those shards. While the gods had been successfully brought to submission the World Forger was not done yet, first, he created the artifact known as the Tyrannus Crown and gave it to the Firstborn to select the single best dragon to wear it to be the ruler of the dragons and to be a vessel for a fraction of the World Forger’s power. This would become necessary for the final act of the World Forger on this whole sordid affair was to create a new plane, a buffer around the inner planes of the Great Binding. This new plane would become known as the Overplane a place of intense magical energy where only the most powerful beings can survive but also form a defense against the machinations of outsiders to upset the balance of the Great Binding. The Gem dragons would find this place to be the perfect home for them after the Overplane was created but they were not the only ones, liches, Sylvan courts focused more on conflict, and all manner of outsiders would find themselves drawn to the Overplane. Most importantly about the OVerplane is that it would prevent the gods from ever stepping foot on the Material plane ever again, they could still send power and influence to the world but they could no longer risk the destruction of all they were meant to protect with their conflicts. Many legends say that the gods, in particular, the Sunderer were imprisoned within their seats of power for 10,000 years as further punishment for their reckless conflicts, unable to even move about their domains having to rely on their servants instead.
