[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 4095597, member: 2012"] [b]The Sword Gods[/b] [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]PANTHEON OF SWORDS[/B][/COLOR] The [B]Pantheon of Swords[/B] is made of deities that are some of the most evil immortal beings known throughout the Lands of Harqual and beyond. The pantheon is led by the dark god known as Mussin, and the other members of the pantheon try very hard to avoid his wrath. Angrboda is the only member of this pantheon that feigns fealty to Mussin, while working towards freeing Hiisi from Carceri. Why Mussin lets her get away with this is unknown, for it is no great secret. Mussin knows that if Hiisi gains his freedom several members of the pantheon would betray him if it gained them power. The Lord of Darkness would likely turn Druaga, Nether and Xuar without much difficulty. The result would be a god (civil) war amongst the members of the pantheon. That would be bad for everyone throughout the Lands of Harqual!
