[QUOTE="Storminator, post: 372586, member: 305"] I've got a weird one in my game. Waaaay back when, there were the gods. That was so long ago no one remembers that there were gods, let alone who they were. When the last true believer died, the world was left spiritually naked, unprotected. And into the void stepped Powers. The general consensus is that these Powers stepped into the raging apocalypse and stablized the world. The truth is the clash of the newly arrived Powers precipitated the apocalypse. If the Powers go at it again, the world might be destroyed... There are only 2 Powers, good and evil. But there are other forces: There are ancestor clans. During the apocalypse the spirits of the dead had no where to go, and haunted the world. Some looked over loved ones, and force of will made them into minor gods. There are other Outsiders, some of whom are setting themselves up as gods where they can. Then there are the druids. Conventionally, druids gain powers from nature; in my world, the druids are building the powers of nature to stand against another clash of the Powers. Thru human sacrifice, the druids place souls into rocks, trees, streams, animals and the air. A rare artifact is gathering souls to store enough power to reach the sun. The druids work to coerce worship of these spirits, to add the strength of belief to the souls. Finally, the good Power (and god of the PCs) does contact priests, known as Seers. But Seers are cryptic, and often seem they "aren't all there." One can never be sure what they mean. PS [/QUOTE]
