Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viking Bastard" data-source="post: 6457945" data-attributes="member: 509">And a few little tidbits on Wodan's history:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> It's absolutely ancient. It's written history (if everything were to be collected together) goes back a million years, although most people would only be aware in broad strokes of the last couple of millennia of local history.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Wodan's history is extremely cyclical: New cultures and factions rise out of a post-apocalyptic dark age, slowly rediscover and re-harness the secrets of their predecessors, only to self-destruct in an event usually brought about by their own hubris, triggering a new post-apocalyptic dark age. More often than not, this coincides with the discovery of 10th Level spells.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Thus, the religions and philosophies of Wodan tend to feature a cyclical view of reality.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Wodan was a major planar hub during one of it's past ages, seeding the world with exotic minority populations, monsters and magics.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> All of the dominant races immigrated to or were imported into the world at some point or another. Human have been completely exterminated twice in it's history, but keep re-infesting the place.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> The Moon Elves are descended from Elves who invaded the world a few hundred thousands of years ago.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> It used to have two moons, but one fell from the sky during one of Wodan's many apocalypses and is now one of the continents of Wodan (the circular one). This moon used to be the home of the Moon Elves.</li> </ul></blockquote>
