Sacros is one of many planets created and gifted to new deities by a goddess known as the Allmother. This pantheon is called the Väktivar, and they created or invited new peoples to their newborn paradise. The gods value the people of Sacros greatly, and regularly appear on the mortal plane and interfere with Sacrosian life.
The human countries of Sacros, called the Mythic Isles, live under the rule of a single throne, the High Throne of Remiscua. This position has no divine, natural, or rightful ruler, and may be contested by anyone with the political power to do so - and is, regularly. Control of Remiscua has a long, deceitful, bloody history, and the battle has no foreseen end.
The Mythic Isles have been enjoying a time of incredible success and comfort, each nation thriving in turn. They say the gods have been appeased, and the world is in balance, but how long can a god stay content?
