Spirit of Malice, Destruction, Pain and Torture

The spirit that time forgot

  Discordia is the spirit diety of Malice, Destruction, Pain and Torture. She exists alongside her fellow spirits without incident. However, Discordia was not content being one of the group. She wanted to be more than that and rule over part of the world. The other spirit dieties saw and acknowledged this desire for power and decided it was time to ensure that the Discordia would never achieve her ultimate goal. The other spirits joined forces and with the aid of their followers, the pushed Discordia and her minions into the mountain areas. From here they imprisoned them into tombs. Sealed from the outside world. They would, as the spirits hoped, slowly die away until no one remembered Discordia name.   Time passed and the spirits lost favour with the people of Odes. As their followers desserted in favour of more modern gods and goddesses, they spirits themselve fell into deep sleep. A slumbering hibernation that would keep them alive, but forgotten.   As the world moved on, times were forgotten, years became decades and centuries become milleniums.   Although the spirits continued to sleep Discordia was awake. She had never desserted her followers or Odes. She knew that she would once again rise to power. As the spirits slowly ebbed away, so did they magic. Their wards and bonds that imprisioned Discordia so long ago slowly started to fail. Eventually, Discordia broke out of her prison and decided to revenge now only her loyals but also the people of Odes.  

Discordia's Plan

 

1. Freed from her prison, she will locate the other tombs where her loyal followers were being kept
2. Any that had survived she would bring back into the fold - guiding them once more to power
3. She recognises that she will need an army and so we has created a vile well of chaos, that spawn Darklings into the world.
4. She has also granted her leaders power in the form of spells and abilities
5. Soul Killers (Animists), Death Bringers (Theists), Pain Dealers (Sorcerers) and Death Knights (Mystics)
6. She is currently building her army in the mountains until she has sufficient strength to conquer Odes

 

Guardians

The guardians were created to ensure that Discordia never came back to Odes. There sole purpose was to guard the tombs and ensure that the wards and magic were kept in place. They would also be the first line of resistance if Discordia and her followers returned to Odes.   However, as time progressed they lost their way. They became complacent in their training and magic. Knowledge, values and purpose were lost. As fewer and fewer recruits made the journey into the mountains to become guardians, their numbers dwindled until now only a few remain.   Originally their towers and fortified buildings stood close to the tombs of Discordia's army. But even these have fallen into disrepair. The Guardains are lost and it would appear that they will fail in their only mission.     Animists/Theists - Soul Stealers Sorcerers - Pain Dealers Mystics - Death Knights Minions - Darklings - Chaos Hybrids
