Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nadaka" data-source="post: 3166808" data-attributes="member: 14651">There are some definate good suggestions here.Note that the first child who sacrificed herself was Inritus, the goddess of void and balance. Left on thier own, the other gods can achieve balance only through conflict, rather than cooperation.One of the principal aspects that I have used in the setting is that of mystery. The PCs, over the course of adventures and campains discover secrets, hidden truths. Were I to publish this (and I will, at least as series of webpages), it would be best to offer a number of "truths", one or more of wich may be real, and the rest would likely just be rumors or false beliefs.General Beliefs:Before the Gods War, the creator goddess had existed for all time. She birthed the five prime gods. First Inritus, the void, who's wisdom and moderation are unmatched. Then Solaris, the light, whos purity and radiance are unparalelled. The his twin Solus, the fire, who's anger burns so fierce. Then came Nocte, the dark, who dances in the timultuous night. Then came Aldore, the cold, whose frigid heart always remains in perfect order.These five then went on to create all the worlds that once were, all the living creatures and thier respective gods. Some by birth, some by spontanious creation. It was a time of creation and conflict.Divergent Beliefs:Nature of the Alien Gods:Some would hold that they are the corrupted and imperfect children of the mother goddess. Mistakes that hunted her down to seek vengance and destroy her successful creations.Some would hold that the alien gods are truely alien. Spawned is the chaos of the maelstrom that surrounds the cosmos. They view our cosmos as a festering wound on the purity of thier home, and like any wound they wish to "cure" it.Yet others would claim that they are the remnants of the the divine energy that escaped our cosmos, released in the conflict between Solus and Solaris, only to be twisted and malformed by the maelstrom.I could probably list a few more.Probably more than anything that happened before, the gods war shaped culture and geography. None of the 4 remaining worlds are unscarred, the rest have been blasted to countless shards (many of them have "fantastic" directional gravity, and are still supporting life) or consumed by the Nai Ya' Eee. It was practically a true apocalypse, a third the gods died, most of the worlds broken, life nearly wiped out. It set the stage for the conflicts between elves, drow and orcs at the very least. So I guess I'll stop worrying about what "really" happened. And only focus on the stories and rumors that I need to. Leaving the rest ambigous. Forgive me, I need to get a couple hours of sleep, sorry for any incoherence.</blockquote>
