[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 9407439, member: 5889"] As the epilogue to one of my games the party had to work with the gods to face and defeat "Victory". In the ancient times, when the gods warred with the primordials, they combined all of their power together into a single vessel, an entity known simply as "Victory". Victory's power was as simple as it was terrifying..... "all things lose to victory". Victory literally could not lose in any check or contest and could not be defeated. But the primordials are the essence of creation itself, they simply cannot die. And so Victory won every fight against them, but they always came back. At one point a primordial that came back managed to kill one of the gods. The gods were angry at Victory, thinking their creation was a failure. Victory went mad with rage and rebelled. The gods locked Victory away in a dome of infinite challenge....every moment Victory was presented with a new unique obstacle, he defeated each with utter ease but was immediately presented with another, holding him to this space. Eons later, Victory escaped. The party went on an epic quest while the gods slowed down Victory. Many gods died in the battle. The party provided the most rare of ingredients to Moridan himself, who was able to construct an epic mirror of opposition. As Victory emerged triumphant, he was presented with the mirror, and a second Victory emerged. The two immediately locked into a grapple, and stood silent.....as both had to give their absolute all to prevent the other one from winning. Two creatures that cannot lose.....stood eternally in struggle. And so the two titans still hover over the world of Aiden to this day, locked in endless battle. More backstory if your interested [Spoiler] After Victory's "failure", the gods created a different weapon. They pulled together all of their will and created "Destiny". Destiny bound all of reality under a single rule, "ALL things MUST have an end". This power overwrought the innate immortality of the primordials and allowed them to truly be killed. With this new weapon, the gods won the war. Destiny has been an entity in many of my games (as they are all connected into my living universe). Sometimes as a villain, sometimes an ally (and one time even as a lover, long story). Over time, Destiny was weakened by various campaing shenangans, and the rule was changed to "ALL things "might" have an end". When Victory arrived, Destiny was there to meet him. However, Destiny's weakened form was no match for Victory's pure undiluted power. However, when Moridan created the mirror, Destiny used her power and influence to augment the mirror, giving it the strength needed to create a 2nd Victory. [/Spoiler] [/QUOTE]
