[QUOTE="Angelsboi, post: 456546, member: 1219"] Link is fixed. In Search of Xaos is a campaign world that i am doing and this section is detailing the world right now. The campaign focuses around 6 artifacts called the Stones of Essence. Each stone has a positive and negative side. The Ruby is the stone of Life and Death, the Diamond is the stone of Innocence and Corruption, etc, etc. It is rumored these stones were once used to keep the Gods in check and then the God War happened and they vanished. Now one nation, the Kingdom of Figaro, has found one stone (so the rumor goes). If all 6 stones are combined, they create the Xaos Stone and the world is unraveled and the holder can recreate the world as they see fit.
