Watch the Trailer!

By the time I had finished telling the first part of my story, a small crowd had gathered around me, dressed in the blues of Namor and the Reds of Rome; a trio of Crocolykes pulled up bar-stools and sat down with mugs in hand, full of ale and with thick heads stroking the glass rim at the top of the mug, staring at me with inquisitive yet eager eyes.

Keeping a close watch on the newcomers, I looked down at my son and smiled. "What happened next daddy?" He uttered excitedly, engrossed in the tale I was telling.

"Yes Bard." A certain Combrogian who was quaffing beer bellowed. "Continue with your tale!"

Giving the man a look that would kill, I turned back to my boy and smiled as warmly as possible.

"Well I'll tell you son, we're not even at the good bit yet..."

With Party and Family on the line,
A Swords Edge, Cannon, and Fighter Pilot's so fine,
We'll rough and we'll fall,
Through darkness and all,
And in the end, madness was solice,
Blood will be blood,
Spilled before battle,
Crimson paints the picture,
Of men who came before us,
And those destined after,
Upon us like insects,
Gods doth look from above,
The alliances must be won,
Or Eternum's fate be done...

=====================================

Unless you intend to read Eternum: Of Gods and Demons then please take the time to read this summary, as it will loosely cover what happened in the First Book.

This Roleplay is set on the distant planet of ‘Eternum’. The planet is currently at the stage of technology that the Roman Empire had, with the hygiene levels of the same era, although both have been enhanced by Earthborn colonization on the planet. Earth is now a space faring civilization, colonizing many planets and spreading their race further across the stars. They come armed with Auto and manual powered machines and weaponry that they would be prepared to use if they come under attack.

The world of Eternum is split into two mega continents, the Northern expanse and the Free South. The Northern Expanse, officially known as ‘The Imperium’ is run by the Roman-like ‘Namor empire’. It’s civilization practically replicates the Roman empire, being ruled by a lead emperor, who sees over everything in the Empire. The Imperium is made up of 6 different kingdoms, the desert lands of Afragi; the tropical land of Zamibia; The Druidic forests of Combrogia; The hot, almost Mediterranean like archipelago of Hercine and the mountain Kingdom of Dun Moriga. All have been conquered and integrated into The Empire, and all seem to host different races or sub-species of the prominent denizens of the planet.

The Free South, otherwise known as the ‘Cold Wastes’ is a freezing cold icy wasteland that is the home of the very warlike and violent Arcturus tribes, that are spread all over the polar region. It is the only area on the planet that is free from the tyranny of the Namor Empire and the combined forces of The Imperium. The land is ruled by the great king Korzan, the Arcturian who traversed the Underworld and sailed down the River Styx to gain his position of high king, uniting all of the warring tribes and forcing The Imperium to let their hold slip off of the Wastes. The Cold Wastes have remained free for 20 years, fighting The Imperium all over their icy continent; however, their freedom seemed jeopardized when the earthborn humans landed on Eternum and shared their hyper-advanced technology with the empire.

On a particular cold night in the city of Branjaskr, the capital of The Free South, Korzan sat atop his throne, watching his most loyal subjects dancing in the celebration of 20 years of freedom from the oppression of the empire. His closest friends stood next to him, but even they could not expect what would happen next. It happened fast, but when it was over, Korzan, son of Odin and High King of the tribes, was dead, with his throat slit and his crimson nectar pouring over his throne. The assassin had escaped quickly, but had left a letter showing the brutal truth of the situation, the earthborn and The Imperium had decided to form an alliance, and had resorted to marching on Branjaskr by the years end, scattering the tribes and reclaiming the Wastes. The Nord’s of The Wastes refused to back down though, and war preparations were being made…

Whilst being partially true, what the Norse tribes do not know is that the earthborn involved in the war are companies seeking riches and raw materials for their involvement, as actual earthborn government representatives refuse to become involved in a war that they are not involved in, although the Norse tribes openly show hostility to the hyper-advanced extra-terrestrial humans, going as far to kill them on the spot.

Due to the death of Korzan, Odin, prince of the Gods and the first born son of Ra, in a fit of rage caused by the fact that Korzan was his demigod son, released immense levels of magical energy, flooding into the ground and mutating plant life and animals, but also flooding into the bodies of certain magic-using members of society, enhancing their abilities to superhuman levels. The magic also flooded into the few demigods that existed on the planet, making their abilities stronger. However, the radiation has appeared to create monsters of ancient legend and imagination, such as Dragons and Minotaur’s, and they seem to be attracted to the irradiated individuals and attempt to kill them, and due to the fact that they are creatures of imagination, they can only die temporarily, as they are being of pure magic.

Due to the fact that creatures of imagination are being created, beasts such as Lycans and Vampires are also being created, but in very small quantity, and a handful of unlucky citizens became infected with the new magical diseases, Lycanthropy and Vampirism. This source of imagination also created the new Gods; Lupinus, god of Wolves and Dogs and Attaxia, God of Blood and Bats, the patron Gods of the new species.

Another problem that has been caused by Odin’s release is the stirring of the underworld, the magical energy has allowed some members of the dead to regain life and human bodies, members of the ancient Roman army, heroes and soldiers, of Ancient Greece, including demi-gods and Egyptian warriors and magicians are returned to their new home and the new world of the Gods and they are choosing sides.

After reports of attacks in every area of the Imperium, forces led by Decius Marcius traveled to maintain peace within the Empire whilst it's Naval forces embarked to commit a huge offensive against the Southern Wastes in an Earthborn business backed venture into taking the province. Whilst this happened, Decius organised a small group of people who would travel to Tartarus, realm of the 12 Demon Lords in order to reclaim the 12 Stones of Alcamor, relics left behind by the greatest wizard of all history, relics which were supposed to grant large scale power to the force that held it.

Whilst Decius Marcius continued his own journey, he was met by Mars, who gave him the demon-blade 'Hate', which was imbued with the spirit of Shacorai, a very powerful and manipulative Demon under the domain of Destruction, one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse and one of the 12 Demon Lords of Tartarus. Mars also gave Decius Marcius a warning to stay away from Hercine, which was at the time being besieged by revived Greek forces led by Hercules and Achilles, within a few days Hercinia, the capital city of Hercine had fallen to Greek forces, and the Namorian forces within it's walls all but crushed.

During this time, Salvius, Decius Marcius's personal bodyguard and the man who had been given the quest to Tartarus met up with Gabriel, the Immortal Lotus, a member of the ancient Empire of Eden; he also met up with his old friend and auxiliary Kuronus, who had been turned into a Werewolf since the God of Wolves and Dogs had surfaced and been created by Odin's upset.

At this time, Hothian, Demon Lord of Madness was granted entrance into the mortal world in the Mages guild and he and his followers slaughtered the other Mages for sport. Under mysterious commands from his mother, a certain male demigod was charged with the duty of sending Hothian back to Tartarus, yet he was followed by Ovidius, a Spy who was charged by Decius Marcius's wife to see what was going on at the Tower after rumor of the events transpiring there traveled to Namor. Whilst there, the Demigod and Hothian had a skirmish whilst Ovidius escaped, until they were both interrupted by Chaaru, a Dark Elf outcast from the days of Eden. Hothian won the ensuing battle and marked the evil and sadistic creature with his mark, granting him power over his life, death and sanity.

After a while of traveling towards Hercine and avoiding Combrogia, Decius and his Namorian units ran into a powerful Roman Unit led by Legate Septim, a son of Neptune. In the ensuing battles the Romans were routed, yet whilst believed to be dead the heavy amounts of life energy placed inside their bodies caused them to resurrect and continue their journey towards Emor, the capital city of the Imperium.

At this point, the questing party exited Combrogia after very little enemy attacks and rendezvoused with the Princess Nesara of Afragia, who had come to bring news to Namor and Decius Marcius of enemies at their gates and a lack of Dwarven aid resulting in them looking elsewhere. After a brief skirmish with a few Germanic troops, Nesara was forced to join the questing group after her guards were killed and they were chased further into the mountain by the insurgent Germanic forces. During this part of the quest, Gabriel discovered a nest of Broodmothers, Arachnid women who were treated with large amounts of suspicion by ever culture within knowledge of them. He promised that he would try to build a bridge between suspicious Dwarven forces and the Broodmothers so that they may share the depths.

Meanwhile at this point Salvius and the rest of the group managed to escape the pursuing enemies, they having been suddenly and mysteriously silenced by an ominous presence within the mountain. As they looked for a way out of a bottleneck they found themselves in, they were greeted by one of the ancient Gods of the Earth, wardens over the ground that would protect it until Eternum, God of the Ground, would stir from her slumber and relocate to a different planet. The ancient God allowed them passage into the mountains, though this showed a huge Orcish force that had been created by pure life energy and corrupt and disgusting thoughts mounting a huge offensive against the final Dwarven city of Ech Zilidar.

Between the battle of Minerva and Hercine, Decius Marcius met with a mysterious huntsman who seemed to know too much for his good. Showing that he was friendly, the huntsman gifted Decius a mount named 'Silverwick', a huge horse-sized wolf with tusks, a species unrecognisable until Odin's disappearance and the resurgence of past life. Decius chose not to mount the beast however and instead treat it like a friend, in which Silverwick repaid him for by taking down a Dragon which had escaped Tartarus and killed many refugees fleeing Hercine.

Out of the sky near Namor at this point, a ship fell from the sky and landed in Combrogia. Within the ship was Isabella von Bayern and a group of military troops who had accidently crashlanded and were quickly set upon by Viking troops. The troops were quickly dispatched by impossibly fast archery and from the forest came the Forest druids, the Druada. After the attack only Isabella remained from her scouting party and she accepted and offer to meet with the Elder Druada in order to decide what to do with the incursion that had already practically turned the native Combrogians into a nomad race.

Once arriving at Hercine, Decius Marcius and his troops were instantly greeted by a small token force with Achilles in his ranks. After the conversation, Achilles attempted to demoralise the Fulminata, yet due to inspirational words from their leader Decius Marcius, Achilles failed in this regard.

As the battle of Hercine begun, there were heavy losses on the side of the Namorians as Achilles, Percius, Heracles and Hercules tore through the well drilled legion of Namorians. After cutting through his defenses, Achilles finally did battle with Decius whilst he wielded Hate, after cutting down Decius's second best warrior (Behind Salvius). With the dying intervention of Salvius and the intrusion of Chaaru, who had tracked the blade down, expecting to find Gabriel, Achilles was defeated, though not permanently. In the process Decius had to saw through his own hand and break the tendons so as he could let go of Hate, who was slowly possessing his body and destroying his mind.

Once the blade had been released, Chaaru began to try to slaughter everything around him, in which Silverwick managed to stop him whilst giving up his life. Chaaru slunk away from the battle with Hate, yet whilst the battle seemed lost it was from surprise aid given from a large force of Crocolykes that stormed the wall. After the Greek forces were routed and returned to life they were offered a place alongside the Fulminata and this option was taken by Hercules. The same offer was given to the Crocolykes, who also accepted but on different terms.

During this time, the Romans had already arrived at Emor, ready to take the city, however by a huge display of intelligence and diplomatic ability, Decius Marcius's wife managed to stop the siege of the city and instead acquire the aid of the Romans in the coming battles.

As the Fulminata and it's other acquired forces arrived at Emor, celebrations were had for a short amount of time before more was needed to be done. Decius Marcius and his legion were commanded to travel out to Dun Moriga with their new allies and to quell whatever invasion force lay within the caverns. Anne, an Earthborn and sister of Isabella von Bayern however organised a journey to Afragia with Marcius's house slave Suriyana and the Spy Ovidius so as they could attempt a diplomatic approach to the issues in Afragia.

As the trio arrived in Afragia, the force heading to Dun Moriga were attacked by huge Germanic forces led by Vampiric members of their army, after discovering that their hearts were their weakness, the Fulminata slew them, yet the numbers were massive on the enemies side and due to pure Guerilla warfare and lack of knowledge on the area, it was apparent the Fulminata were finished. However, thanks to the Aid of Lord Kurosavi, a member of the Druada trio who commanded a counter-attack army to clear the path for the army, as the Druada realised the importance of them clearing away the enemy.

As eventually the quest party were allowed into Dun Moriga, they were imprisoned after impertinence from Gabriel towards the King. However, luckily for them they were quickly broken out of prison by a mysterious man who seemed to be adept at killing people without them knowing he was there. Eventually however, Kuronus had to release his other side and went on a rampage, killing the Dwarf King and giving the questing party the title of 'Traitors' and meaning that they were wanted by law enforcement.

Eventually, thanks to direction from Lord Kurosavi, Decius Marcius managed to soon find the direction he needed to go in in order to leave Combrogia. After thanking him, Decius began to approach the first summit of Dun Moriga. At the same time the quest party managed to leave Ech Zilidar and it was this moment that their rescuer revealed himself as the self same man who fought with Hothian and was tasked with sending him back to Tartarus, before any more questions could be asked about him, the party were surrounded by Redcoats.

Meanwhile in Emor a secret group of Southerners had managed to slowly and carefully make their way into the city and into the home of Decius Marcius. Upon returning from where she had been out, Decius's wife discovered that all her servants had been killed, before she was forced to watch her children die in retribution for the death of Korzan, she was then slain in cold blood.

Spoiler: The Creation of the Universe

Billions of years ago, before the big bang, there existed a huge, chaotic space of nothingness. In the nothingness swam the spiritual, primal forces known as ‘The Chaos’. The Chaos was made up of billions of entities, but out of all of them, the most prominent were 7 Demon princes. The Demon princes waged war in their spiritual bodies in the middle of the Chaos, enslaving all of the other primal forces in the darkness. This war caused small chaotic rocks to form, the conflicting power between such super-powerful primal creatures had caused hundreds of mini big bangs, creating matter.

As matter had been created from the raw primal power, the Demonic lords and the others forces gained a solid form; the more powerful the force, the more powerful the form. The Demon lord Kronos appeared as the most obviously powerful, and the other Demon’s decided to enslave the rest of the separated ‘Chaos’. There was another huge war, which created more big bangs, creating more solid matter, rock and earth, sand and stone; until eventually the pained earth goddess was born, born into a world of Demonic warfare. The Earth Goddess remained dormant, and undetected; she also remained neutral, as Order had not been created yet and she was most certainly not a force of Chaos.

When the war ended, there were only 4 non-Demon Lord warriors standing. They were named War, Tyranny, Destruction and Strife, they refused to fall underneath the oppressive Demon Lords. Kronos thought long and hard about their loss against the 4 horsemen, when he decided he would have a son, a powerful son who would defeat the Horsemen and make sure that Kronos reigned supreme over all life. Kronos and Zenita conspired together and created the sun God Ra.

Ra was unlike his father, he was bright and glorious, and he didn’t look like a demon, he had dark tanned skin and was much shorter than Kronos, but just as powerful. Ra also seemed to illuminate light, which energized the dormant Earth Goddess, slowly waking her from her slumber. Ra was sent into battle against the four horsemen and defeated them with ease, for the power of the sun is not matched. The Earth Goddess woke before this battle and watched Ra fight, instantly falling in love with the young God.

Ra decided against killing the four horsemen, which angered Kronos. The Sea of Chaos suddenly began to fade and as the light from Ra emerged, so did a sun, right in the center of (Although it was unformed at the time) the Universe. Ra was sent away from his father by Zenita, who realized that Kronos would kill Ra. When Ra realized this, he became angry and took a stand, creating the power of Order. Zenita, although nearly vaporized by this show of power, advised Ra to find the four horsemen and get them to join his crusade. Ra turned down the advice however, stating that a member of Chaos cannot assist a member of Order, for as long as there is Order, Right, and Chaos, Wrong; they are to be separate, by bringing them together, you defeat the purpose of both, therefore questioning the fact of right or wrong.

Ra decided he would engage Kronos head on, but before he could the Snake Demon Apophis stopped him. Ra battled him for days, and after drawing his blood, it created the River Styx, the eternal river of the Damned. Ra defeated Apophis after a century of combat, and then, tired, moved onto Kronos’s realm. Kronos was waiting for him and easily defeated the tired Ra. Before Ra could be slain by Kronos, the four horsemen appeared, sent by Zenita. They attacked Kronos brutally and when Kronos wasn’t expecting it Ra took his own weapon and used it to chop him to pieces. The four horsemen departed from Ra’s company, returning to the Darkness; and Kronos’s palace crumbled into ash. However, this fight had caused the primary cataclysm of the Chaotic Darkness, as Order began to reign supreme, and the big bang happened, created the universe. Ra’s sun still lies in the center today. The Universe at this time was a barren wasteland though, filled with bare rocks, with no life on them.

Ra then met Zenita once more, who tried to trick him into falling in love with Zenita, using the powers of Lust and attraction on Ra, but Ra refused and her trickery is what caused the creation of Tartarus, the ever changing, ever increasing Parallel universe, in which all of the Demon Lords now currently live. He threw the cut up chunks of Kronos (Which were already reforming), and the rest of the Demon Lords into the fiery pits. The Four Horsemen agreed that they should only be called when needed, and when a planet was to die, they would fight for Chaos, as that was what they were born to do. Ra, acknowledging this, let them go into their own plains of Tartarus, and then sealed the gates.

It was this moment that Ra and the Earth Goddess first spoke, and within the first millennia, the Earth Goddess was with child. The power of Earth and the Sun had brought forth the God of Life, Odin. Odin, when he was born created habitable planets and terra-formed some instantly, due to the new changes, new creatures spawned from Odin, the Gods of Death, Water and all the other Gods. They all grew up quickly and in 10 years from their birth all of the Gods were men and women. Ra reigned king over all the Gods and they decided to seek acceptance by the newly created mortal races that Odin had spawned by accident into the Universe. They now move from planet to planet, solar system to solar system, and Galaxy to Galaxy, being worshipped by mortal kind.

Spoiler: The Gods

The Gods are eternal beings who reside over planets and watch over their inhabitants. It is often that the planet’s inhabitants were created to worship the Gods and do their bidding, but most of the time the God’s only reside on the planet so as they can receive prayer from the planet, and so as they can leave their mark, the Ancient history of those who believe in the Gods, on the planet forever. The Gods are extremely powerful and the only way for them to die is if they choose to, or they have nothing left to live for. The God’s stay on a planet whilst they are worshipped, and when the inhabitants of the said planet decide that the God’s are simply myth and they are not needed nor wanted there, they leave and head to a different planet that shows promising life. The cycle reached Earth once before, and ended when the Romans converted to Christianity. Now the God’s reside on the planet Eternum.

They control the powers of Order, the things that make the world work, the basic elements and emotions that all life needs to be good. Mortal people who do not show these things are known to be Chaotic individuals, who are reborn in death in one of the 12 plains of Tartarus as a Demon, their status depending on the amount of Evil and Chaos they had spread in their past Mortal life, only seeing the God’s once a day as Ra floats his boat down the Styx, which trails through the underworld, into each Plain of Tartarus and out into the Mortal universe. They have a certain hierarchy and not all are worshipped as much as they should. It has been known that some God’s consort with Mortals, when this happens, the offspring is still mortal but they show some talents that normal creatures of their species would not be able to exhibit.

Attaxia is currently referred to as ‘It’ as no one currently knows her Gender.

Spoiler: The Demons

The 12 Demon Lords of Tartarus are an evil group of creatures, masters of Chaos and hell bent on destroying the God’s and enslaving Mortal life. They control their own plain of Tartarus, each infinitely large and each under control from the Demon Lords. Most of the Demon Lords have appeared in Myth and Legend as Evil beasts who try to coax Mortals into joining their damned ranks and being tortured within their vile clutches. Each Demon Lord controls two of the Chaos elements such as Hatred, Gluttony, Lust and others.

The Demon Lords are the only creatures as powerful as the Gods, and they have often been misunderstood, however, the first Demon Lord was in fact the father of Ra, the first God and the God of the Sun, and the First sign of Order out of a Chaotic blackness and nothingness. We have the Demon Lords to thank for the creation of the Universe.

Spoiler: Earth

When the Gods came to Earth, they found it was made up of two super-continents, one of them made up of 5 gigantic islands. The Gods settled on the planet and took the most influencial species at the time, the Homosapien, and crafted it into something more, the human beings we are today.

The super-archipelago was named 'Eden', with the other super-continent being named 'Pangaea'. The people of Pangaea, who were still primatives, were denied access to the Gardens and forests of Eden, for they were the lands of the chosen. As the bond between the Gods and Earth was established there was a quick dash for power from Lesser Demons who had broken up through the unprepared crust of Earth, however they were quickly dispatched by the chosen Homosapiens. Eventually, all 4 of the 5 islands had been united under the flag of 'Braiga Odinssen', the first Earthborn demigod. Atlantis, Asgardia, Olympos and Paradiseai had been united and brought together under the rule of the Lotus Empire.

However the land of Svartalfheimr refused to ally themselves with the other 4 neighboring provinces and locked themselves away from all of the Gods bar one, Set, who had yet to be banished to Tartarus. It was here that the darkness Set gave turned the Homosapiens into the Dark Elves.

Spoiler: The Story of the Fallen Lotus Empire

The Lotus Empire began when Braiga had broken the bond between the demons and humans that plagued the land. He was born a powerful mortal capable of doing things no one could ever imagine. Braiga was under the birth of Odin, and was proud to bear the name as well. When Braiga grew around 13 years of age, he had slain every demon and foul creature to step up to him using his powers that he was blessed with, called the 5 Gates. With this power, he decimated any attempts that even the Demon Lords had to step upon the mortal plains of the Earth. His first great victory came over the Demon Lord, Beelzebub. It wasn’t an easy victory, but was necessary due to how he came upon the mortal lands to wipe out Braiga as well as any other mortal. This defeat signified how powerful mortal beings could become, and gave birth to a new race of human, many knew them as “The Gifted.”

Using his own power, he erected buildings of stone and used life to create his own empire. This was a place where he and “The Gifted” could stay, away from the dangers of the world around them. The Lotus Empire was of peace and tranquility, flowers blooming over old stones that looked as if they were never touched by man, as well as waterfalls and estuaries that had waters as pure as the heavens themselves. Anywhere people walked within this empire, their powers were bolstered 10 times over that of a normal mortal. This indicated that this place had been chosen of Odin, and a blessing upon the servants who served under Odin.

It wasn’t long after that when Braiga fell in love with a gifted woman, Ecia. Together, they bore their firstborn. She was rather strong for a new born. This was an indication that Braiga’s pure blood had flown through her veins, indicating that his traits were passible, as well as she was blessed by Odin. Each 200-300 years later, they bore 6 more children, then after the 7th child was born, 500 years later, Braiga’s mother had an unexpected surprise. She was pregnant with yet another child. Confused by this, Braiga asked Odin what was going on. Odin had implanted her with his as well as Braiga’s seed to give birth to one more. Odin stripped Braiga of his birthright to pass it on to his new coming son, Gabriel. When Gabriel was born, Odin blessed the child as well as the whole empire.

Each of the 8 were born with a sign that signified their type of power. Strength (Bear), Speed (Cheetah), Stealth (Snake), Mind (), Peace (Dolphin), Love (Dove), Hate (Scorpion), and Will (Dragon). Gabrielle, being the youngest was born under the sign of Will. With Will, Gabrielle had more Energy than the rest of his siblings. This was biggest advantage over anyone, but this was the hardest to train. Ever since Gabrielle’s birth, people feared him and respected him for his sheer power of energy. Around 5 years old, Gabrielle carried more energy than any of his siblings put together. This put fear into his fellow siblings, but they loved him and protected him regardless, and helped train to hone his power and skills. There were a few times where his power went out of control and things were absolutely obliterated, but it was all necessary to help him become the strongest he could become. It was also around this time where a new war was to begin. The War of Obliteration was this wars name. It was a war between Demons and the Lotus Empire.

Around 15 years of age, Gabrielle was given his first mission. He was to take out a Dark Elf that had been consuming both Demons and Humans alike. He was presumably strong, but Gabrielle went in with all confidence. He went into a dark forest that reeked of death, and of where apparently a huge battle had taken place. Bodies from Humans and Demons littered the area, as well as blood and other figures that can’t be put into words. This is when he saw him. The elf turned around with blood dripping from his mouth and all down his body. He promised Gabrielle to give him his name if he could defeat him in battle. So the first big battle Gabrielle ever had, ended up in a draw. Both of the characters being of superpower state, the Elf gave Gabrielle his name. He was called Chaaru, and then he vanished. Gabrielle eventually came back to his empire, and his siblings and family had an astonished look upon their face when they found out who Gabrielle had faced. They all said that should have been Gabrielle’s deathbed, but he proved them wrong.

After that, the 8 teamed up against the advancing Demon invasion. Together, the 8 repelled the Demon invasion and pushed it back. Their power and synchronization were unmatched by any foe or ally alike. They were the Sacred 8. Once one of the Demon gods heard of this, he had sent his best warrior, Shacorai into one of the advanced positions upon the lands. Around the age of 18, the 8 approached the powerful Demon. This is where 2 of the siblings met their end and where Gabrielle unlocked his sacred powers. Where his siblings had attained their lotus status’s, Gabrielle advanced into his stages, granting him unimaginable power. It was with this that Gabrielle beat the demon to near death. With a desperation move the demon slashed at Gabrielle while Gabrielle had charged and cut out his eyes with his demonic felblade, Hate. Gabrielle had finished off the demon, but was left unconscious, and the Sacred Lotus of Zuen (Strength) and Galas (Hate) dead, and for some reason the sword Hate was bound to him.

3 days after the victory of the demon, Gabrielle was escorted home to rest and celebrate their victory and mourn their dead. Later on that night, something happened to Gabrielle that no one could explain until it was too late. Gabrielle’s body had awakened out of its unconscious state. As Sovereig (Mind) walked into check on Gabrielle, he looked upon Gabrielle with happiness, until he found out, that Gabrielle wasn’t right. The Demon, Shacorai, had used the last of his energies to seal himself inside of Gabrielle. It was this time, that the possessed Gabrielle battle the Sacred Lotus of Mind, and defeated him fairly quickly. The Demon then used Mind’s body to bring forth other demons that were of great strength and that spawned other demons. From here on out, the Lotus Empire was at war on the inside.

After a few hours later, the possessed Gabrielle met with his sister sibling, Love, and was battled by her. With no surprise she was defeated and almost killed, if it wasn’t for Braiga. Braiga knew what had happened, so he challenged the demon. The demon was almost crushed to, if it wasn’t for the Demon’s trickery. Braiga, the most powerful Human warrior was defeated, and Shacorai had victory over the Lotus Empire. This was when Gabrielles, barely alive sister came in and used a sealing technique on the Demon. This suppressed the demon within the sword known as Hate, as well as his powers, but at the cost of her life. With her last breathes, she told him she loved her little brother and gave him her most sacred possession. He sword known as Love. As he picked up the sword in grief, he found another weapon along the side. It was the sword Hate. Together, these swords were destined to make a bloody path upon history. As the Empire was completely destroyed along with its people, Gabrielle had no choice but to leave, but swearing vengeance upon both the Demons and Gods.

6 weeks of wondering blindly, an old blind hermit decided to take him in. This was where Gabrielle learned to control his powers as well as learn how to fight blind. It took 2 years of training, but Gabrielle eventually learned how to fight blindly, yet he never learned to control the demon. Nor did the Hermit know about the demon within him. One night, the demon had reawakened, only in a weakened state. The Hermit was able to help Gabrielle subdue the Demons powers, but warned Gabrielle that it was only a matter of time where the seal would completely wear off, and the demon would swallow him whole. It was only when Gabrielle was ready, that he could defeat the demon within him. It was only 2 weeks later, that Gabrielle slayed the old man through the demons hate.

Around 20 years later, Gabrielle once again met Chaaru. Chaaru became interested as to how Gabrielle got that sword. Once Gabrielle told him the story, they had a battle of the ages. During this battle, Gabrielle and Chaaru created what is known as the Grand Canyon, and was where they became best friends, for they both had one goal. This goal was vengeance.

After the second attack on Eden by Demonic means, the Lotus Empire regrew slightly, never coming to the same power that it once held, but recovering none the less. After another 1000 years of prosperity, the union was back on track, with it now being led by a republic made up of several different political parties who vied for seats at the government. Tribute to the Gods was still paid, yet everyone had grown used to the black haze across the land where Svartalfheimr lingered.

One fateful day, the haze lifted, with an army of Dark Elves looking down upon the Lotus Empire. Svartalfheimr being the largest of the countries was able to quickly sweep across the lands and as they slowly eradicated the Lotus Empire, the Gods began to destroy the land of Eden, stopping the corruption of Darkness that the Dark Elves spread. Many of the Dark Elves were said to go into Arcane hiding and join the stars in space, others say their rage formed constellations and froze stars. Atlantis was sunk, Asgard obliterated; the Gardens were all but annihilated, with only 2 humans being sent to Pangaea, which was now breaking up due to the stress on the planet from Set's darkness.

Realising that he had no place in a universe of light, Odin and Ra worked together to banish the Lord of Darkness, with his corrupting power being halted, yet having already taken an hour of the day and giving Darkness an equal standing. 12 hours of light, 12 hours of darkness.

Meanwhile, the two survivors, Adam and Eve were sent to the primitive Homosapiens to guide them so as one day they could ascend as the people of Eden had. However, the people of Pangaea did not understand, and as the world split, some forgot the names of some Gods, and some changed them to suit their own power hungry needs. The Gods grew largely quiet, other than in prominent areas such as Greece or Egypt, where they held their spats and arguments.

Interest was widely lost on Earth until the great invasion of Rome. At the peak of it's existence, Rome was attacked by Kronos, with a full force of Demons that crashed over the civilisation. Putting the world before themselves, they sacrificed their Empire to hold back the tide of the Demons. As there was a lack of Godly intervention, it was after this point that a large amount of the Gods ceased to be worshiped, and soon after that, they were all unworshipped. It was time to find a new home, and they found it in Eternum.

Spoiler: Important NPC Characters

Spoiler: Korzan

Korzan (Core-zhan)
Born in the city of Branjaskr in the Cold Wastes, which were currently under Imperium control, he was immediately told of his heritage, the demi-god child of Odin, lord of creation. This made him very powerful and Korzan was a natural warrior and speaker. Korzan was once a pirate, openly rebelling against the forces of the Imperium out in the sea. He fought for a free South and using abilities given to him by his godly blood, Korzan brought together the warring tribes of the Arcturian people and named them ‘The Nordic people of the South’ or as they are now known to the other races as ‘Nords’. Korzan also used his abilities to command his people to build a stone army, which he then used his gift of life giving to bring them to temporary life, and the soldiers proved successful on the purge of Branjaskr of Imperium presence. The Nord’s winning the battle with next to no casualties.

When the Imperium were forced out of the South, Korzan was crowned High King of the Nords and he set about creating defenses on the coasts to try and stop any counter attacks from any Imperium troops, but none came in the first 6 months other than a few scouting ships that were mostly destroyed. After the first 5 years of peace, the Imperium began to mount serious attacks against the Southern Wastes and the Nords, sending fleets of battleships across full of troops. Now without his stone army, Korzan had to rely on the flesh and sinew that the Nord’s owned. This proved to be enough as the Imperium were pushed off of any land that they had taking control of in their short lived campaign. However, each battle seemed to be bigger and last longer through the next 15 years and the Imperium never seemed to run out of troops to attack the Wastes. Things were growing dire.

It was in the last year of his rein that Korzan was killed by an Imperium assassin sent by their emperor. No one saw him, but his spilt blood enraged the God Odin, who’s creation magic poured into the very soul of the planet and empowered the dreams, emotions and already existing magic.

The Namorians (Nah-more-e-ans)
Namorians tend to share a skin tone alike to that of the Italian people of Earth. They usually have deeply tanned skin that complements their usual brown eyes and hair nicely. Most Namorians always carry a weapon with them, but only legionnaires carry proper weaponry like swords and shields, and they do so with swordplay not seen since ancient Roman times. They are a rich and ancient race and they believe that they are the God’s chosen and the Emperor is Mars’ prophet. Namorian military prefer to equip Roman-like armor, which is a mix between leather, Iron and Chainmail. The main difference between the Roman Empire and the Namorian is the poster color of their society and military community. Whereas Roman forces wear Red, Namorian forces wear dark Indigo cloth. The Namorians worship all of the original Gods, but their patron God, like the Romans, is Mars, God of War, and he receives the largest temples and the best offerings from the Namorian people.

Spoiler: FAQ

Spoiler: Accepted Characters

Spoiler: Gabriel The Immortal White Lotus

Spoiler: Tsen Tsaven

Spoiler: Admiral Isaac Donning Clemente

Spoiler: Decius Marcius

A natural commander, a dedicated family man and an unrelenting Namorian supremacist, Marcius is perhaps the best and the worst of the Imperium distilled into one man. He is not cruel by nature, even to his slaves, but he is ruthless in prosecuting those who would threaten the Imperium. Hard-won victories have led him to become allies with Earthborn, Romans, Greeks and former crocolyke rebels, but he still does not trust them fully, keeping command decisions in his own hands and thinking often of what will happen once the current crisis is over. Still, he is determined to press on with his mission, to liberate Dun Moriga and buy time for the small party seeking the Alcamor Stones, to the best of his ability.

He does not know about the recent murder of his wife and children, and for all his strong will, such knowledge would likely break him.

Spoiler: Marcius full profile

Spoiler: Varro Salvius

Salvius is a soldier's soldier – pragmatic, loyal to a fault, and a gutter fighter. He was chosen by Marcius to lead the quest for the Alcamor Stones. But, instead of a squad of elite legionaries, fate left him embarking on the quest with a former friend from his legion, an Afragian princess, a young half-demon, a mysterious Earthborn, and only one of the emperor's praetorians. He is warming to the half-demon Numiera as she proves herself more useful than expected, although he hasn't forgiven her for being indirectly responsible for several deaths (and if he were to find out that she lost control and attacked another party member, he would likely send her away for good). Used to professionalism and to being obeyed, he has gotten on poorly with the impulsive, insolent earthborn Gabriel.

After a disastrous and avoidable incident in Dun Moriga separated him from all but Numiera and Gabriel, the three escaped into the Afragian desert only to be waylaid by a mysterious foe.

Spoiler: Salvius full profile

Spoiler: Aulus Ovidius and Suriyana

Ovidius is not a man to influence the course of a war from the front line, but it was he who brought news of the demon attack on the mages' guild, and he who Isis visited to warn him of the necessity of making allies rather than enemies of the immortal Romans. Ovidius is less than enthusiastic about the idea of being a hero or of being singled out by Isis, but he is loyal enough to the Marcius clan to accept the mission to Afragia to try and tip the balance of power towards a potential ally. Another factor in that decision was that it allowed him to be close to Suriyana, who he had been attracted to for some time but was only recently able to act on it. They make a natural couple, but both are independent minded and as such their relationship is more physical than emotional, although this may change over time.

Suriyana, originally just a body slave to Marcius' wife Lycinia, came to prominence when the Marcii recognised the advantage of having a native Afragian as a guide, translator and co-conspirator on the mission. Already familiar with the gods of ancient Egypt, she is tasked with getting close and influencing the immortal Egyptians by impersonating a priestess of Ra, and she has given a crash-course in the gods' lore to Ovidius so he can do the same with Anubis. Travelling with them is Ann von Bayern, who has taken Suriyana under her wing and begun to teach her magic so she can hold her own if things turn sour.

Åge: a 17 year old house slave of the Odinsen family. Has six month affair with Maxwell. Karla has interest in him too. Is scrawny, has brown locks of hair and blue eyes. Roughly 6 feet and lanky. Pale. Killed by Zahneri after Karla took him by force.

Lars Dahl: A Hurtug of 56. He stands tall, has a ticker belly and publically opposes Else’s rule. Chieftan of Norland Village

Mikkel Engh: Hurtug of Akershus, it is near the Pass of Neptune

Hurtug Ole: Leader of Rogaland village (Near the Ocean)

Selma: Karla’s old personal caretaker. A plumb middle age woman, brown hair, blue eyes.

Beata: Young adult house slave who has attraction to Kalle. Crafted him a blanket with the crown on it. Brown hair.

Concubines: Four of them, one is a blonde female. They are bound by the succubae spells.

Fritjof: Royal guard – sacrificed. he had been with the Odiensen family for over twenty years. In his forties he was still strong and proud of the Free South he followed. He was a man of great devotion to Odin

Inge: Royal guard – sacrificed. Inge, he was younger, in his twenties he grew up with the ideology of Korzan and took blade in his name. Of many of the soldiers, he was one of the hardest hit with Korzan's assassination. Else’s mind flashed back to a moment the two had shared last year mourning together, watching the man they both loved drift off into the cold waters on burning ship

Housecarl Yngve of Odinsen: the personal bodyguard and muscle of the family. A grizzly, toned man in his 60s who had fought alongside Korzan to help create the Free South. At a height of 6’8’’, the weapons master was a beast of a man: short gray beard, a gray ponytail, square head, with stern, heavy features that were accentuated by three bear claw scars moving down his right eye showed him to be this. Korzan himself appointed this man to this position of power, and has since then helped teach new generations of Branjskr how to fight…making the city filled with powerful warriors, his teachings have passed down to new teachers...men and women alike. Else and the Housecarl were close friends while Korzan reigned…but much has changed since then. He has spent much of the last year continuing his teaching, having near to no contact with the family he was in charge of protecting.

Landswoman Kia: The leader of the those who have sworn military oath to House Oidensen. Being in her 40s she still had some youthful shine about her. Voluminous blonde coils were a knock out, eyes arcing and eyes fierce. But it was her permanently broken nose that changed her from being drooled over by her subordinates, to respected and to some, feared. Her time was spent speaking of the Hurtug’s of each village, ensuring safety. Her height was a proud 5’10’’, was of a strong build, and her skill with a broadsword was one to not be denied, nor her aim with a bow. Her skill in beast mastery granted her many fierce companions.

Juno knows the harshness that life has to offer its denizens. Losing her husband at the mere age of 25, she was left with four children, and a home that seemed to lack the proper life that should be in a home. She is a tough woman, and deals with much, and only now does she leave her children to find a cure for the disease that is eating away every memory that she has of her husband, and life, as well as eating away her skin. Life is beginning its slow and painful end, and the only hope she has of stopping this, is getting to the underworld and finding the heart of a Fungi, a creation of the demon lord Beezlebub. She doesn't want to leave her children without a mother and a father, and this is her driving force to brave the world beyond her home, and return to her family as a new, and healthy person.

Can we make Demigod characters now? Or no? I don't see it listed the 'Eternum: Blood of the Gods' spoiler, but I see you can still have godly parents on the CS. So I'm not sure!

Indeed you can! Just as long as it fits with the lore and stuff that I've stated (Such as no sons/daughters of Ra etc)

**Minkasha** · 11-22-2013, 02:25 AM

I tried to do something a bit more unique, and something with HUGE potential for character growth through the entire RP. I was a bit confused on some of the guidelines and what gods existed or not...so if something is wrong let me know...but I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
