The end of the world as we know it

When the gods and their powers fade, great turmoil will wash over the land of men. A flood of dread and hatred, channelled by the very same people. In the storm that ensues, many more will die amongst the powerful, and the last one will leave this world. Only then will a godless era begins.

Four sentences. That's all it took to shake the entire world and give rise to the Absolutist movement. Professed by Sackar Marzar, the only prophet to take his inspirations not from any god but from the essence of the world itself, a man whose words are more precious than diamond.

For the Regulists

For most people, this prophecy announces a cataclysm the likes of which nobody has ever seen before. Gods are what make this world turn, some of them are holding the Sun, others allow the crops to grow or make the water flow. A godless world is none other than a dead world to them. The terms of flood and storm are enough to make the most stoic believer shivers, as nothing good ever come out of natural or divine wrath.

From the Absolutists

Not everyone share this grim point of view. For others, the end of the gods is not akin to the end of the world, but rather the advent of the age of Man. What they understood of this prophecy is that they have to be the ones to eliminate the gods, shed their blood and crush their remains to dust. Many will die, but that is a sacrifice they are willing to make to finally get rid of the divine oppressors.
