The Gods
There are many Gods in the world of Armeniá. The first of the Gods were Light and Darkness, out of them came the Old Gods. The Old Gods rebelled against their parents and took command over the verse. Then once again the children of the creators would rise up. The Young Gods children of the Old would wage war against their parents to protect the Elves from destruction. And so The New Gods overcame The Old forcing them into The Shadow Verse. The Young Gods ruled over the world for many years until in the Second Age they were tricked by the First Emperor of The Imperium of Man into agreeing to never again set foot on Armeniá. Chaos Gods were created by The Mortal Dark Lord who entered the Shadow Verse and corrupted it with his evil. This created the 3 Chaos Gods. Since the begining of time Mortals have always been able to rise above their own verse and enter Godhood, as such many Cults have sprouted up all over the world. Cults dedicated to The Dark Lord and The First 3 Imperium Emperors. This thread will label and explain the history of every diety.
Light and Darkness
Light and Darkness have no origin, some in the All Father Cult believe that the All Father created them, however as The All Father has never been proven to exist and that there is no recording of events prior to the Creation of Elves. There are stories but nothing more. The common beilef is that Light and Dark have always existed. They posses no natural forum and are said to have a part of the verse themselves, every patch of Light and Darkness was them. Many story tellers love to portray them as two enormous beings made of both Light and Darkness however this contradicts many accounts told by The New Gods. This makes the actual existence of the Swords of Light and Darkness doubtful. At first they lived side by side in peace, with Darkness being the first entity and Light coming into the verse naturally, however as expected the two rivals eventually went to war with each other and when their blood was spilt and mixed Armeniá was created.
The Gods were once the most powerful beings in the Verse, stronger than their children the Old Gods. Their powers were unlimited, this makes many modern scholars wonder how The Old Gods were able to defeat them. Many believe that Sëmeres and Osirubis stole not only the ability to create but also many of their powers. The two swords could actually be a representationof their powers, if it was these things stolen it could explain how the Old Gods were able to defeat them with so little casulties. After the defeat of Light and Dark they were torn to pieces, their flesh became the heavens. Chained to the natural laws of the verse theur essance is trapped and unable to manifest itself as it once did. Though they are not dead, they continue to whisper to the verse. Their whispers over the years have changed the history mutiple times. It was they who influencefight The New Gods to rebel against their Parents. They are known to whisper into the years of mortals from time to time. These whispers have a power of their own, and are able to make the recipe obsessed with the thoughts placed in their heads.
They are not popular Gods though they have a sizable following. The Gnome Kingdom of Underhill worship them. As well as the Church of the Two Swords, which can be found across the world. There is a small group who believe Darkness and The Shadow are the same Gods and that they are hehe source of all evil in the world, they worship Light. Prayer and worship of Light and Darkness help Manipulation as well as a large variety of other things.
The Old Gods
The first inhabitants of Armeniá they were created by Light and Darkness. Originally their skins and hair were golden much like their children The New Gods. For many a years they lived in the unpredictable world of Armeniá before the Cycles one could not say how long Summer or Winter would last. This is what prompted their rebellion, Sëmeres and Osirubis grew tired of the never ending winter and thus they decided to attempt to change it. Thus they stole the power of the New Gods slaying the Star Beast sent after them. Upon their return Light and Darkness cursed them turning their skin dark and imprisoning them in a prison now known the Shadow Verse.
However they Old Gods would not remain here for long. Osirubis and his brother would discover a way to free themselves from the prison. Upon their release from The Shadow Verse they wages war upon Light and Darkness, defeating them after obtaining the Fire and Shadow Swords. Defeating Light and Darkness allowed the Old Gods to create the heavens, stripping theur flesh and throwing it across the void to create the heavens. They also brought order to the verse by creating the cycles system as well as Night and Day. From the flesh of Light and Dark came order and structure. After they finished with this they settled down in the heavens. Creating a Kingdom for tbe Gods out if the heavens, as Golden as they had once been.
During the rule of the Old Gods there was very little creation. The most significant of their creations being The New Gods and Dragons, however other than these two there was little to no creation. They ruled over a world of beasts and animals with little inteligence, it was a wild time. It is also said to have been a time of peace and prosperity for all life according to most Wood Elves. Their children, The New Gods were born with the same Golden complexion that they had once had. Their children were very dear to them, it's said that The Old Gods cared for little else other than for their children. So it saddened them when the children went to live in Ameniá, however as they too once lived there they allowed it. However as time went on their children greward farther and farther apart from their parents. The Old Gods were unaware of the whispers of Light and Dark and how they effected their children. When the New Gods created The Elves the Old Gods did not experience fury...but fear. Knowing full well that these new creations had the ability to threaten theirs and the children's place as rulers of the Verse. So they attempted to end the threat...though they underestimated the love the New Gods held for theor creation. And when Ätruld threw herself between the bolt of lightning and the Elves, sacrificing her life to save them it shook the Old Gods. They now hated the Elves, blaming them for the death of their child, the New Gods blamed the Old.
War had begun, the New Gods obtained the Swords of Shadow and Fire but it was not enough to bring easy victory. Their Silver Fleet sailed on Solus and and epic war known as Aiwenor was waged. The Old Gods fought half-heartily not wishing to harm their children thus they took many losses, but they also inflicted many. Morgon leader of the Old Gods was struck down by his son Aegnir in the middle of the battle and without their commander the Old Gods routed, saved only by Sëmeres and Osirubis who rallied them into aN organized retreat. After the battle they fled to The Shadow Verse where they shaped it from the former prison into a hidden fortress. There they remain to this day, unable to leave they still maintain control over the natural elements of the world and it's makings. Over the years in their prison they have grown accepting if not fond of the new creations of The New Gods. Interestinglythe Old Gods unlike the New lack genders.
The Old Gods are very popular, about equal to that of the New Gods. They are worshiped world wide by many cultures. The Old God religion often does not mix well with that of The New Gods but this rivalry seldom turns violent. You can see a list of all the Old Gods below.
-Morhdran God of Metal, and Warchief to the Old Gods
-Persalis God of Wind and Air
-Dracos God of Fire and Heat
-Sëmeres God of Water and Cold, Highchief to the Old Gods
-Yemen God of Stone and Earth
-Opus God of Animals and Nature
-Tyranus God of Dragons
-Sithus God of Death
