[b]"In the beginning there was only the darkness. But from that darkness a spark was born. And from that spark came the world. The first thing to appear where the gods. They lived in the heavens and looked down on the world. The world was empty till the humans appeared. They were born from the soil and made the world there own."[/b] -The Song of Creation [b]"From the heavens up looked the gods down upon the humans. What monuments they build and what glory they created. But the Unnamed, the serpent did not want this. He wanted all the glory and creation to speak of him. So it came that the serpent in the 900th year came down from heaven, shed in the skin of a beggar unseen by the other gods. With promises and gifts of power the serpent called the humans to revolt against the gods. This was the beginning of the Cataclysm. Nord, the strongest of all the gods was the first to act. He took the strongest and hardest stones of the mountains and created out of them the Nordra, the biggest and strongest warriors ever seen. Wukan, the prince of liars and most cunning of all the gods was the second. He caught the wildest and most vulpine winds in the woods and gave them a body, creating the Wukansun. All the gods came down from heaven and fought each other and the humans. This was the Cataclysm. It destroyed the world and took countless souls. It only ended when Maa, wisest of the gods won the war and threw every other god out of heaven into the underworld. Then he set the Maata into the sky, made out of the first rays of the sun on his day of victory, to watch over the world."[/b] -The Song of Destruction In this Rpg we play inhabitants of this world after the cataclysm. Our motives can be different but our goal is the same, find the Serpent. [hider=The Gods] The gods in this Rpg are physical when they descend from heaven, meaning they can be killed. Even if that is pretty hard. Not playable since all gods except Maa, who won the war and Nord, who broke free from the chains of the underworld are imprisoned. There are countless gods. [/hider] [hider=Maata] Playable. They are winged creatures of enormous wisdom and intelligence. Since the Cataclysm they have the task to restore and keep order.

They tend to do whatever they want. A bit smaller and weaker than humans, the true strength lies within their mind. [img=http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2014/013/8/c/monkey_king_by_asahisuperdry-d7225a2.jpg] [/hider] [hider=Nordra] Playable. Strong, wild and perfect warriors. Nordra are rare since the war but dangerous. Many sell themselves as soldiers, this is however seen as dishonorable since no Nordra should ever bow down. The forge chains around their arms and have to break them all by the power of their muscles. Any Nordra who fails is not allowed to remove the chains and is not seen as a grown man. This is in honor of their creator Nord who broke free from the underworld.

Some even are gifted by him. They are called marked. Marked are only humans and are very rare. The have special powers like telepathy and limited telekinesis. They are generally hunted.[/hider]
