Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mourngrymn Dasha'r" data-source="post: 1800698" data-attributes="member: 21248">The Jester advised me to put this up in here not knowing if it was appropiate for the Story Hour forum. What follows is a history of the world I am running in my home campaign. It is 100% home brewed with no artificial flavor added. This is just the history, nothing added in of rules, race explanations, or character development. It is written like an excerpt from a history book. So after saying that, enjoy. And I hope it isnt to big of a read.The History of Hewdamia----1st Era - Lasted nearly 1200 years 0Aw - 425Aw - The Awakening 425Aw - 426Aw - Year of the Night Fire 455Aw - 648Aw - War of Brothers 650Aw - 1158Aw - 1st Age, The Age of Magic In the early days of Hewdamia, the first Gods squabbled over the world and took what they could from the each other. The arrival of the newer Gods marked a turning point in the world that would forever change the world and the Gods above. While some of the Gods had been here for eons (Perteum, Gotruis, and Kameakias), new Gods began to arrive and fill the empty voids the older Gods ignored. Twelve new Gods arrived and began fighting to lay claim to the world below. They brought with them new conflicts as well as new concepts. The others that came were Bharat, Caedmon, Dubaku, Gutxi, Horatius, Kasal, Kiamana, Odhran, Ptah, Sethalis, Shehrevar, Xukthalis. Out of all the concepts and ideas brought, no other idea was more important than the mortal soul brought by Kasal. Bharat came and brought warmth when the brothers could not. Once the mortals below began gaining intelligence, he taught them the concept of fire. With this concept now known to them, they slacked in their worship of the twin Sun Gods. The twin brother Gods did not like this and sought ways to remove him quickly lest he think bigger and want to replace one of the brothers in their duties. Caedmon had a dark way of looking at the universe. The first chance Caedmon got, he taught the mortals about war. He was instrumental in teaching them the ways of battle and killing early on, much to the displeasure of the other Gods. With the idea of war now in their blood, mortals began waging war on each other for pleasure and power, which had never been done before. When the mortals began warring below, he just sat back and watched in mute pleasure. Dubaku brought his eleven children with him from places unknown. These eleven children went to the world below and went into hiding, knowing something about what was to come from their father’s warnings. They went into hiding in remote parts of the world and went into a deep hibernation. These eleven children grew into what are the dragons today. Gutxi saw the souls below her and felt pity on them and created the Ginesh in her own diminutive image. Giving them a cleverness that the other new mortals did not have at such an early state. She did this to give them an advantage over the larger mortals, fearing they would harm her little children. It is thought that she fled the destruction of a world where the mortals destroyed much of what she had held dear. Horatius came to the world with a purpose. He saw that the Gods that were here before the others had developed a passing of time solely on the thought of day and night, light and dark. But there were no seasons, no reason or rhythm. There was no order to how the world grew, only a chaotic shamble. He changed the climate of the world so the seasons changed and gave the mortals a way to tell the passage of time by the changing of the seasons and the planting of crops. Kasal was the one to have brought the soul of those mortals that were placed on Hewdamia. It is thought that he came from a world that had died or burned out and found a new place for the souls to continue on. When these souls were placed on the world below, they wandered in agony until Kameakias felt pity and gave them that which they needed, flesh. A few were over looked or even escaped his grasp, but most of the wandering souls were given a home to a new body to begin life on the world. With these new additions added to the world, the Gods had new reasons to battle. Kiamana saw the untamed oceans below and sought to tame them. He did and by doing so, populated it with wonders from the souls that still wandered or that were missed and over looked by Kameakias. Kiamana also taught mortals about the ocean and how to respect her and sail her, teaching them to navigate by the stars so they would not get lost. More to follow. . .</blockquote>
