Mythology & Lore

In the beginning, was the great expanse. Wild, dangerous, chaotic. The forces of Chaos reigned with their legions, bringing with them weakness, panic, and fear.

Into the expanse strode Damoritosh, the great conqueror. Wielding his Sacred Doshko 'Victory', he cut down the legions of chaos with impunity. Seeing those who also had been fighting the legions, Damoritosh grew piteous and made a gift for their warriors: the doshko. Truly the pinnacle of war, his people strode against the chaos and brought order to the galaxy.

However, the forces of Chaos had unleashed a hungry devourer that had no match. Mortals perished beneath its never-ending hunger and even Damoritosh himself drew pause. But he would not slow in his purpose, and he fought the beast for 120 days and nights while his loyal soldiers held off the last legions of chaos.

On midnight of the 120th day, Damoritosh beheaded the beast and weakened it enough for it to be sealed in a star. The head was obliterated, but the blood from the doshko sped out into space. There, the planet known as Vesk Prime was born. Damoritosh, in his wisdom, found the Vesk to be stout warriors, worthy of his blessing. He trained their leaders in the art of the doshko, knowing that if any chaos lingered in their planet that the doshkos would draw upon his power and keep it sealed deep below.
