The God War
In the age of darkness, the Ascended ruled and their sick and twisted attitude toward the creatures beneath them was felt by all. Individuals, livestock, villages and on a few occasions even entire nations were sacrificed to feed the power, needs or whims of their overlords. Many of the newer gods granted power through the faith and belif of their followers, began to take pity on the creatures of the world who were suffering.
That was until Talthos proclaimed that he would no longer stand by and let the creatures of the world suffer under such tyranny. The Old Gods enraged by Talthos’ defiance attempted to destroy him. As they moved to strike at him, Talthos’ wife Mearea and daughter Attia rose to stand with him. Whist Mearea struck at the Gods of old Attia used her powers to keep the new gods safe, all the while Talthos used his power to breath his will and defiance in the face of tyranny into the peoples of the world. Thus began the Divine War. Whilst the Gods of Old did battle against the New, their followers fought against those they had once called slave and chattel. In a desperate act to end Talthos’ rebellion the Old gods attempted to assassinate him. The Great Scaled one send sent one of his deadliest agents to strike down Talthos as he slept. Being a creature of shadow, the snake moved silently and unseen. With deadly force it stuck sinking its fangs deep into Talthos. Satisfied that the wound would be fatal the snake slivered away to return to its master. Talthos weakened by the attack sought shelter with his daughter Attia who used her power of healing to save his life. With Talthos unable to continue his fight against the Old Gods, Mearea took charge and possessing a keen mind for strategy she devised a plan to push the Old Gods away from the world so they could no longer hold sway over the people there. The fighting was fierce with deaths on both sides, but ultimately Mearea's plan was successful and the Old Gods were cast out to The Far Relm. This began the Dawn age, when the creatures of the world had their first taste of freedom. Seeing the races of the world begin to flush the New Gods retreated from Boriel as to not be tempted to interfere lest history repeat its self and they become the very enemy they cast out, and so it was that the Divine Barrier was constructed. Cutting off the Gods from the world of Boriel. Now only they can only exert a small amount of influence. With the construction of the Divine Barrier the Dawn age ended and the First age of Civilization In the Darkness of The Far Relm the Old Gods move unseen, their current locations are unknown but they continuously press and probe at the Divine Barrier searching for weakness’ to slip through and re-establish their hold over the world unopposed.
