Creation Story
In the beginning, when the world was shrouded in darkness, there existed only one deity, Zemros, the God of the Sun and Healing. Zemros, whose radiant light brought life and warmth, looked upon the void and felt a deep loneliness. In his divine solitude, he called upon the heavens, and Ara, the Goddess of Nature and Travel, descended from the skies. Together, they brought life to the world, shaping its lands, seas, and skies.
Rothar, God of Honor and Courage, then emerged, instilling valor in the hearts of the world's first inhabitants. Edia, Goddess of Peace and Reason, followed, teaching the people the virtues of peace and order. Qharos, God of Fate and Destiny, watched over their knowledge, granting them wisdom and insight. Zeella, Goddess of Horizons and Stars, unveiled the mysteries of the arcane, filling the night sky with constellations.
Wexdon, God of Chivalry and Valor, forged mighty weapons and armor for the mortals, empowering them to protect their lands and ideals. Baros, God of Balance and Wanderers, oversaw the cycle of life and death, guiding souls to the afterlife.
But then, Kiltris, Goddess of Death and Weakness, gave birth to the Unspoken Kindred, a malevolent brood born of darkness and chaos. They sought to corrupt the world and plunge it into eternal despair. A great war, known as the Sealshatter War, erupted between the gods and the Unspoken Kindred.
The Fallen Seal
The Sealshatter War began when Nizius, God of Envy and Slaughter, led the Unspoken Kindred in a rebellion against the Luminous Covenant. Kiltris, their mother, sided with her monstrous progeny. The heavens trembled, and the earth shook as the divine and the damned clashed.
The gods, witnessing the suffering of their mortal champions who fought on their behalf, united their powers to create a colossal canyon, known as the Fallen Seal, to imprison the Unspoken Kindred. This chasm tore through the earth, separating the realms of light and darkness. The war raged on until the Unspoken Kindred were finally trapped within, their malevolence contained.
In the aftermath, the gods realized the consequences of their direct involvement in the mortal realm. They chose mortal champions to bear their divine powers, weapons, and armor and defend the world when necessary. Henceforth, they withdrew to the celestial realms, intervening only when the balance between light and darkness was at stake.
