The King of Gods is gone. The Throne lies empty, waiting for your ambitious hand to claim it.
The Monarchs stand in your way, and a new era must be ushered in. The God of Ruin calls upon those who understand the necessity of celestial rebellion to topple the established hierarchy.
There is no Order. There is no Freedom. Only Pain and Chaos shall reign.
Will you walk with the Child of the Apocalypse and forge a new life? Will you seize the mantle of a Monarch and rule with an iron fist? Will you betray Ruin and lead the rebellion yourself? Or will you sit upon the throne in the end?
Evil knows no limits.
Spoiler: The Five Monarchs
Suriyel was the first deity ever, and He created the Throne of Gods. After creating the Throne, He then created the Five Monarchs.
In the celestial hierarchy system, the Five Monarchs are right beneath the King of Gods. These Monarchs are currently the strongest beings in the multiverse and each lead their own faction in their respective realm.
Spoiler: Luthious: The Noble of Order
He is known as the right-hand of Suriyel and is the strongest of the Monarchs. With the death of Suriyel and his brother, Baldramort, he is currently the strongest being of the multiverse. He and his faction reside in the heavenly plane, Elysium. Their holy capital is the divine White City. They are the overseers of the planes, ensuring law and justice prevail. They have strict moral codes while valuing truth and compassion. Once in a while, they understand that certain sacrifices need to be taken in order to enforce the greater good. The Faction of Order is naturally at war with the Faction of Chaos. Luthious's powers include the mastery of radiant light.
Luthious has a very kind and warm-hearted personality, and many could easily view him as a father figure. Despite the chaos and destruction of the Fall, Luthious remains steadfast and determined to restore Order. He is a sincere and genuine individual, especially towards his companions. However, those that ever cross him will quickly notice his righteous anger and Luthious will let no one stand in his way.
Spoiler: Harku: The Duke of Freedom
The most intelligent being of all creation. Harku and his faction reside in the futuristic plane, Mechanus. Their capital is the majestic Metropolis. The gods of Freedom are known as creators, tinkers, and truth-seekers. They value personal freedom, life, and adherence to the law. They are natural allies with the Faction of Order. Harku himself has the powers of telekinesis. He is currently working with a group of celestials in discovering the identity of the Kingslayer while fending off the Titans from Metropolis.
Despite being a benevolent Monarch, Harku is surprisingly arrogant and views practically everybody beneath him. Since he does not view anyone as intelligent, it may be difficult trying to communicate with him. However, despite his personality blemishes, Harku is a hard worker and will always pick the path that is deemed the right one - even if it is not the popular one.
Spoiler: Selrina: The Maiden of Nature (COMATOSE)
One of the most beautiful ladies of creation. Selrina and her faction reside in the nature plane, Avesta. Their capital is the paradise garden, Eden. Selrina's faction focuses on maintaining a balance between good and evil, life and death, and order and chaos. They understand that without one, there can be no other. So they ensure there's no disruption to the equilibrium of the multiverse. Because of their very philosophy, they gain no favors from the Factions of Order and Chaos. Selrina herself is a shapeshifter and has complete control over Mother Nature.
The Maiden is currently in a comatose state. She sacrificed much of her life force to open the realm to Averas and nearly died from the experience. Instead, she fell into a state of unconsciousness and was carried into the portal leading to Averas, where she has been resting ever since.
Like her older brother, Luthious, Selrina is a good-hearted person and usually gentle in nature towards her close companions. She tries to distance herself from the political affairs of the Five Monarchs in an attempt to maintain the Multiverse's equilibrium. She can be short-tempered and may let her emotions get the best of her at some points. Yet, she is a happy helper and is always willing to assist others in need.
Spoiler: Malphas: The Duchess of Pain
https://w.wallha.com/ws/14/MmgjYzAL.jpg
One of the most corrupted beings of creation. Malphas and her faction reside in the fiery realm, Hades. Their capital is the infernal palace, Tartarus. The Faction of Pain seeks its own selfish ends. They view law and chaos as unnecessary and are primarily concerned with their own ambitions. One common goal amongst these gods is to seek power. They often are allies with the Order of Chaos. Malphas has the power to create mind-bending illusions. Selrina claimed that Malphas is the Kingslayer, which Malphas has yet to deny, but it is known that a single Monarch does not have the power to match the King of Gods.
Malphas is a rather odd character and often has the attitude of a teenager. She can be quite immature at times and is practically always vulgar and crude. She enjoys toying with her enemies and even her fellow Pain deities at some points. She has no concerns about anyone but herself and is essentially a wild-card in the political affair of the Five Monarchs.
Spoiler: Baldramort: The Prince of Chaos (DECEASED)
Sometimes known as the left-hand of Suriyel. He and Luthious were the strongest Monarchs, always in equal playing fields and never overcoming each other in the multiversal war. Baldramort and his faction reside in the abyssal plane, Carceri. Their capital is the demonic Black City. The Faction of Chaos is the bane of all that is good and organized. The deities are cruel violent killers that often do not see themselves in error. They promote chaos and destruction only to glorify themselves. They are naturally at war with the Faction of Order. Baldramort himself is the creator of primordial darkness. Ever since the Fall of the Gods, Baldramort proudly boasted that he personally killed his father, Suriyel.
Baldramort is a very proud and arrogant individual and he has a no-nonsense attitude towards his followers. He will be quick to dispatch those that cross him even in the slightest or most trivial manner. He is not the type to play around or waste time. If need be, he will manipulate and/or force others to do his bidding, but he mostly relies on himself to take care of the necessary tasks.
During the battle at his underground temple, beneath the Vatican City, Baldramort was challenged by a group of celestials. He easily defeated them and intended to sacrifice their life force to open the portal to his home realm, Carceri. However, in an unexpected twist, his long-lost son Damian made an appearance and ruined his ritual. Instead, his own life force was sapped, leaving Baldramort defenseless against the group of fallen deities. After losing the battle, Baldramort decided to commit suicide and would rather die by his own hands than allow a lesser being to take his life. The truth of whether or not he is the actual Kingslayer may have been lost.
Spoiler: The Multiverse Setting
Spoiler: ElysiumThis realm hosts several angelic and divine cities with the White City being its capital. Holy Knights and benevolent souls populate this realm and strive to maintain peace. Many outsiders are often awestruck by the beauty and serenity of the realm, even the wild creatures are rather passive in nature. The realm also contains tall mountains, a large and mystique sea, and lush green plains.
Spoiler: MechanusMechanus is a realm of order, precision, and mechanical ingenuity, all governed by Harku’s unwavering will in the capital city of Metropolis. Towering megastructures, bathed in the glow of neon lights, reach into the clouds, while automated drones and artificial constructs maintain every aspect of daily life. The streets are immaculately organized, filled with synthetic lifeforms and homunculi who work tirelessly to craft new technologies and maintain the plane's rigid structure. Beneath the gleaming cities lie vast factories and clockwork forges, where the hum of machinery echoes endlessly. Time itself seems synchronized with the ticking gears of this metallic world, reflecting the strict order and efficiency that defines Mechanus.
Hovercrafts zip through the skies, lightspeed trains connect distant regions, and countless luxuries are available to its inhabitants. While pockets of nature remain, much of the landscape has become barren wastelands, dotted with only a few lakes that serve as quiet reminders of what once was.
Spoiler: AverasThe realm of Averas is a complete paradise in nature. Lively forests with innocent animals, cascading waterfalls, and the sweet aroma of various plant life can soothe even the most anxious of souls. The legendary garden of Eden resides at the center of the realm, along with the Tree of Life known as Gaia. However, even in this so-called paradise, there are a few dark spots scattered throughout this realm. Dark and forbidden forests, and abandoned ruins share a story of a time long passed.
Spoiler: Hades
The realm of Hades is fiery in nature, lava and flames cover practically the majority of the realm. There are dozens of towns and villages residing in the safe spots of the world, but dark creatures like malevolent dragons are known to fly across and make their homes in volcanoes. The capital, Tartarus, is an underground city that dwells within a colossal pit, with built-in walls surrounding the pit to prevent the lava from flowing into the city. At the bottom of the pit is a fighting arena, where Malphas forces her prisoners to battle each other to the death in a gladiator-like manner.
Spoiler: CarcariThe dark realm of Carcari is the home to the worst nightmares ever created in the multiverse. The Grey Plains fill the realm, which is set under a permanent night sky. The Black City houses many demonic beings and also houses countless prisoners that are eternally tortured. Several other dark cities and towns also populate the realm, along with deep canyons and crevices that lead into the unending abyss. A large and foreboding sea can be found, but hardly anyone dares to venture into the dangerous waters and encounter any of the underwater eldritch colossi.
