Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mortaneus" data-source="post: 317350" data-attributes="member: 485">Well, the simplest method of doing this one would be to break the world down into two factions.  The native american-ish aarakocra (perhaps the protagonists and native inhabitants of the world), and the dark fey, who were once the noblest of races, until a great philosopher of theirs discovered the secret of immortality, which is to use focused meditation to study one's place in the scheme of existance, and utilize this knowledge to advance one's spirit along it's path until it is as it would be at the end of time.  Unfortunately, anyone who does this comes under the attention (and influence) of the beings that live at the end of time, corrupting them both spiritually and physically.  By the time the fey realized what was happenening, their society was completely corrupted, and all their greatest leaders were possessed.  Thus followed a plane-hopping campaign of domination, and soul eating.The Aarakocra, being a nomadic people who believed in the sanctity of the spirit and all life, have been besieged by this alien force from beyond the pale, who hunger to consume the pure and vital spirits of the aarakocra.  The only hope for the peaceful people is one of the wisest of the Fey, still uncorrupted, who realized the danger before she reached the end of time in her spiritual voyages.  She taught the Aarakocra the secrets of spirit travel, and warned them of the darkness that lies at the end of all things.A few aarakocra, stronger in spirit than the rest, or perhaps just more determined, decided to risk themselves and their race by reaching through time in the same way the fey did.  Instead of reaching for the end of time, however, they reached for the beginning.  There they encounted a force of great good and light, the creator, their 'Great Spirit'.  Those who succeeded in this voyage were transformed by the touch of the all-creator into beings of superb power, able to create, destroy, and change both the physical and spirtual worlds through force of will.  And it is only these select that stand a chance against the forces the hunger in the darkness.That was easy enough.</blockquote>
