Cy - The Forsaker of light Domain : Evil Darkness Strength Knowledge Rune Destruction The eldest of the elder gods. It is said when the gods were created he was the first. He was to be the good God to watch over all. After he learned he must share control with the others he grew to resent it. He was the first and should be the one the others bow to. He wasn't though. So instead of being good he forsake the light he was granted. He took up residence in the shadows and defiantly cried he will conquer all in the end. For in the hearts of everyone is the desire to have more than others. Though he cares for his sister and brother he will not let them stand in the way of what is rightfully his. Fav. Weapon - Greatsword Alignment - NE DR - 16 Do'Sek - The lady of the forest Domain : Plant Animal Renewal Earth Air Ocean Fire Water The second oldest of the Gods. Do'Sek has traveled the planet for many years. One day while she was wandering in her divine forest she noticed a deer was killed. She searched for the intruder and came across Kenviir. After talking to him she found out he was cast here by a mage and had stolen Aderif 's shadow. While finding this amusing she knew Aderif would be angry. She prepared for Aderif 's entrance which happened shortly. After saving Kenviir's live she gave him a bit of power in addition to Aderif 's donation and extracted a promise to not harm the earth. After a few more years she had grown tired of constantly maintaining the world. She was also starting to suffer attacked from some evil wizards seeking her power. One of them was the Wizard Lieskal the flame. One day when she was speaking to her brother Cy about her being weary both her duties and the constant threats the youngest brother Erio appeared. Though they didn't get completely along the brothers understood the danger. After some time they offered to help their sister with finding a replacement. After a great length of time they could not find one person to hold or even get half of Do'Sek's power. Then one day while talking to Kenviir both brothers appeared. After some greetings Kenviir suggested they split the powers into 4 people. Then Do'Sek could have the time to do what she wanted most. With the brothers in agreement which is a rare thing Do'Sek sought out some people. Knowing that nature must be kept in balance she agreed to seek two neutral souls, one good, and one evil. The ones she found were Duktar Blightstone, Saen, Ciras the Ash, and Caraneparel. Fav. Weapon - Quaterstaff Alignment - N DR - 11 Erio - Benefactor of the Downtrodden Domain : Good Protection Healing Strength Light Craft The youngest of the Elder Gods. When he was younger he looked upto Cy as a role model but then after watching Cy's acts of destruction he decided he would not stand for it. Often going to Do'Sek for advice and good friends with Aderif . Erio stands for everything that Cy is against. Through a vision when he was quite young Erio knows in the end Cy will lose because if you destroy everything there will be nothing to rule over. With this vision Erio realized he had plenty of time to work towards that day. Fav. Weapon - Heavy Mace Alignment - NG DR - 14 Aderif - The Light of Justice Domain : Law Nobility Light War Protection Good The god of light and justice. Aderif was the youngest of three brothers. They were among the second generation of Gods. The older brother Beli was spoiled and constantly picked on Aderif . The middle child Nol also picked on Aderif once in a while but mostly was content to run while. In the midst of the chaos from his parents he sought out Law and rules to follow. He used his power to stand up for others and pursued the never-ending quest of justice. During this and after many long battles with his brothers he became devoted to spreading the light across the land. For in this light none can hide. Also in this light justice can be served and good would thrive. Then one day while he was pondering a case presented by his followers, Kenviir stole his shadow. While pondering if he should punish the thief Do'Sek convinced Aderif not to kill him. Since he did not need a shadow anywise and since the shadow appeared to be a living creature he let Kenviir live. Parting out a little bit of power to make Kenviir a minor deity he then extracted a oath from Kenviir that he would never use his powers against Aderif or Aderif 's followers. Aderif promised the same and went on his way. Now he can shine completely. Monk multiclass allowed. Monk/cleric Fav. Weapon - Longsword Alignment - LG DR - 13 Nol - The Rising and Setting Moon Domain : Undeath Renewal Moon Sun Family Death The God of Change. Nol is both the keeper to the gates of the dead and the bringer of life. His followers and he understand that with each death comes a birth. With each birth there is a death. Balance is to be maintained as much as possible. His clerics an odd sort offers resurrections of people cheaply as long as payment is made. The payment is usually death for the buyer of the resurrection. One day a long time ago when he was visiting in person to a temple that had been emptied by suicide he met a halfling. The God appeared at the temple and saw his follower's dead. After morning their loss he turned to see a female halfling. The halfling asked what was the balance in this? The God informed her the followers had committed suicide in hopes of helping the queen of the land in getting a child. The halfling suddenly realizing whom this person was asked for a favor. Nol saddened by the loss of his followers decided he would grant this favor as long as the halfling would understand that the balance must be maintained no matter the cost. The halfling asked him if he could perform a resurrection. Nol asked whom she wanted brought back. The halfling said herself. Since she would die she would ask for herself to be brought back. She was curious about the afterlife and wanted to see if she could win a bet. She bet a friend she could steal the keys from even the guard at the gates to hell. Nol amused by this as he himself was the guard asked him if he really thought she was that good of a thief. With that the thief pulled out a set of keys and jingled them. Apparently while Nol was distracted the thief had rummaged through his belongings. Quite the luckily thief Nol thought. At the same time Do'Sek was raising Kenviir to deity status. Since the balance must be maintained Nol thought then perhaps it will stay maintained. Granting the halfling deity status. Only afterward did Nol ask this halfling what her name was. It was after this and a meeting with the elder Gods Nol realized that immediate balance was not what he needed or should reside over. It was the long-term balance that mattered more. Fav. Weapon - Scythe Alignment - N DR - 16 Beli - The Hand of Battle and Slaughter Domain : Hatred Tyranny Destruction Evil War Darkness Beli is hatred. Held down by the fact he was not the first nor was he the most powerful his jealously of the other higher Gods fuels his rage. Long ago he had tried to kill his younger brother Aderif . Considering him to be weaker and the source of those against him he caused a huge war among the mortals and thousands died. Once they met on the battlefield and fought one on one. The earth shook and the land was changed forever. As these two mighty deities fought each other. In the end it came to a standstill. The two neutrality Gods stepped in. They were both harming the world around them almost beyond repair. Also with the conflict they had both killed off each other's followers to almost nothing. Both of them saw that this struggle outright would kill both of them if they met in open field. Aderif held his hand out and offered a truce to his brother. In rage still Beli drew a dagger and cut his brothers hand off and escaped with the hand. To this day Beli wears it around his neck. Though he does not outright attack Aderif , Beli still works against him in secret. It is said in the secret meetings of the clergy Beli 's clerics all wear a hand of a good cleric that they have slain. Fav. Weapon - Bastard Sword Alignment - CE DR - 13 My'sek - Choas Untamed Domain : Choas Magic Travel Rune Spell Long time ago My'sek was a student of a powerful mage. She had a rival though. My'sek was able to naturally cast spells and figure out new spells without memorization. Her rival though had to study hard and had a knack at memorization of new spells. For what My'sek lacked in ability and study she made up for with raw talent. After many years of learning under this master she graduated with top honors. The only mar on this prefect record is she had to share the honors with another. At the end deciding they were equals she walked over to Jeruf and offered to shake his hand. When Jeruf shook her hand she felt an electric jolt through her body. This caught her off guard but after she recovered she prepared herself to take a spell of his. Jeruf cast a spell to hold her still but she was able to absorb it into her. Then she released it back at Jeruf in a blast of raw magical flame. Jeruf got up and cast a spell, which she could not prepare to absorb. While she was falling down she shot another blast of magical flame at Jeruf . After what seemed like hours of darkness she awoke. Standing in front of her was an old man and Jeruf . The old man identified himself as Nikireal. Neither of them knew who he was. This old man spoke to them that he was going to retire and figured such rivalry and competition they exhibited would only strengthen the magical flow. He took his powers and split it in half. Giving to each the power over magic. Each took the portfolio that reflected their personality. My'sek always the chaotic one got Chaos. Also since she loved to travel and inscribe runes she acquired those also. After the meeting ended they were left there with each other. Both of them drawing upon their new power decided to finish what they started. They fought and fought for hours on end. Each drawing so much power from the world and the flow that even the simplest mages could feel it. The land they were standing on became a small wasteland. Then in a flash of light the Gods Cy and Erio appeared. Sensing such power in the two of them each went to try and stop one of them. While Cy and Erio were trying to stop the fight both of them were hurt badly. It required the help of Do'Sek, Nol , Aderif , and Beli to finally end it. Though it ended more due to the several days of battle had taken a toll on My'sek . It was then learned the old man who had given them the power was Nekireal. None had seen him since that fateful day. Since then the Gods try to keep My'sek away from Jeruf . The followers of My'sek are told that law is too binding and restrictive. That magic should not be control or restricted. To travel and view the world is the creed of My'sek . Who travels around constantly. Though she hates Jeruf she had struggled to keep open war from occurring again as the magic in the world was disrupted for several days due to their battle. As of it there is a huge dead magic zone where they fought. Due to the policy Jeruf has against sorcerers at his temples My'sek ordered the same at her's. Tensions occur whenever followers of the other are near. The old man was right though. Magic has never been more powerful since. Fav. Weapon - Punch Dagger / Dagger Alignment - CN DR - 19 Jeruf - Mystical Order Domain : Law Magic Planning Knowledge Spell Arrogance is something Jeruf could never take. My'sek was the idol of arrogance. She would stand in class and do spells that would take the rest of the class days to do. She would constantly show off her powers. At least in Jeruf 's eyes. After years of study and hard work he had gotten top honors. After many hours spend studying in the late night he had achieved what he wanted. A win over My'sek . Then on the day of graduation he walked up to receive his honors. On the way up so was My'sek . Preparing a simple spell of shocking he saw her walking over to him. Figuring she was going to gloat he took her hand expecting her to shock him with the same spell. After he shocked her he saw his error and tried to cast a hold spell so he could explain his mistake. After seeing his spell disappear into nothing he saw this magical fire reach out towards him. He tried to dodge but it hit him and burnt his face badly. Realizing it was now to the death since she won't let him explain his mistake he cast another spell that knocked her down. As she lay there she was able to blast him with some magical fire again. Darkness overtook him. It lasted for hours. Each minute going by his anger over My'sek grew. All those years he had suffered her arrogance. Letting her live went against his personal code. She deserved everything he was going to give her. Then he woke up in front of him was an old man and lying to the side was My'sek . Standing up quickly to prepare a spell the old man started to speak. He identified himself as Nekireal. Neither of them knew who he was. This old man spoke to them that he was going to retire and figured such rivalry and competition they exhibited would only strengthen the magical flow. He took his powers and split it in half. Giving to each the power over magic. Each took the portfolio that reflected their personality. Jeruf always the judge and jury took on law. With all the studying and planning he did before he made any actions he also took those too. Then they were left there staring at each other. It was this that Jeruf thought he could resolve this one last time peacefully. The silence was instead broken with the burst of magical fire from My'sek . Jeruf drew and drew on this new magical power and fought with My'sek . After a while he lost control and they fought for hours. Jeruf 's rage keeping him standing. After a while a few Gods appeared to try and stop this wanton destruction but Jeruf ignored some of them and pushed the others back. This power was nothing like he had felt before. He kept fighting with My'sek . After a few days of battle they both finally fell. Each exhausted from this battle. It was then the Gods restrained them to find out what happened. It was also then that Jeruf found out who Nekireal was. None has seen Nekireal since that fateful day. Since that day the Gods struggle to keep Jeruf from My'sek 's presence and likewise. The followers of Jeruf are urged to banish or kill followers of My'sek . They are also taught that knowledge and study are the key to magic. They look in disdain towards any sorcerer that comes near their temples or libraries. Due to the policy Jeruf has against sorcerers at his temples My'sek ordered the same at her's. Tensions occur whenever followers of the other are near. The old man was right though. Magic has never been more powerful since. Monk multiclass allowed. Monk/cleric and Monk/Wizard Fav.
