The Earth was then known as Alrara in this age. It was one of magic and gods. A planet where elves, dwarfs, and other non-human beings thrived alongside humanity, and magic was alive and plentiful. An era of peace was going strong, and the gods. The divines of the mightily Varian Pantheon were highly respected and revered. Having guided the people of the world towards peace and prosperity. Then came one day, the Varmari, outer-worldly beings that invaded and tried to conquer Alrana. Coming together as one, the gods went out and battled with the Varmari. After a long and strenuous battle. The gods were able to defeat the Varmari and sent them back into space where they came from. The people celebrated as the gods were victorious. However, the gods were exhausted after the invasion and chose to slumber in order to recover. Expecting it to be a relatively short slumber, the gods went fell asleep in a place known as the Bastion, and the people waited for when the gods would return. However, while the gods slept, an unknown group of humans using forbidden magic took advantage of the sleeping gods. They managed to locate and access the Bastion and did the unthinkable. This group siphoned off most of the gods' power and took it as their own. Becoming gods in their own right and had an increased lifespan to boot. Seeing how they managed to become gods, the group did one last thing before they set out into the world. They placed a spell on the sleeping gods that ensure that they would never wake up. Satisfied at this, the group left Bastion and went out to rule the world. Time would pass, and these new gods would die, and their godly power was open for anyone with the knowledge to take it. Eventually, another group would take the godly power as their own, and a cycle of "mortal" gods began. When a group of gods dies, another group seemly takes its place. The gods of old, the Greeks, Norse, Indian and other pantheons, were those that took the godly power over the centuries. In a seemly endless cycle that was broken when the Godless came to be. The Godless was a group of people that had suffered under the reign of the most recent group of mortal gods. Seeing how the gods had abused their powers and used humans as pawns for their conflicts. This group, instead of taking the godly power for themselves when the gods died. They chose to contain it and lock the godly power away, far from prying eyes. Wishing an end to the cycle of gods and would call themselves the Godless, for that is what they wished the world to be. So the Gods' power was locked away in vaults around the world. Enuring the end of the mortal gods and the world went on unknowing of the truth. But, what happened to the world of Alrara, you might ask. Well, during the early reign of the mortal gods. There was a cataclysm caused by the infighting with a group of mortal gods. Causing devastation across the world, and the magic started to slowly fade. Humanity suffered the worst and then a plague of unknown origin appeared. Killing millions of humans and humanity thinking that the non-humans were to blame for the plague and trying to finish off humanity. Went on a series of wars with non-humans, and in the end, the non-humans were forced to create magically hidden sanctuaries to hide from the humans. Now safe and hidden from the humans' eyes. The humans were satisfied with this and started to rebuild, and magic would drop to near dead levels before stabilizing. More cataclysms would follow caused by gods and nature, and humanity started to forget about their past, and the truth started to become legends and myth to the point that the old world of Alrara was forgotten and only a few tablets about this lost age remained when the world reached the modern times. The non-humans still safe in their sanctuaries and would send out spies to keep an eye on the humans and none were the wiser about the truth. In 2024 that by sheer luck that a man named Kyle Khan discovered an ancient tablet that listed the spell needed to steal a god's power and where the Bastion was. Seeing an opportunity to have real power, he took the chance he was given. Traveling to the Bastion and tried to steal what was left of the gods' power. However, Kyle would botch the spell and instead broke the spell that was keeping the gods asleep. Causing them to finally wake up and quickly felt unusually weak. Confused about why this is and spotted the lonely human. The now frighten Kyle was questioned by the gods and they realized that not only that the world they knew was gone. That their powers were stolen from them. Furious about this, the gods went out to explore and learn about his new world and would convene a month after waking up at the [center]Rules: 1.
