Seros--WIP
The World of Seros is a large planet crafted by the entire pantheon of deities in perhaps their one true act of cooperation. While each had their own realm, and plane of existence for themselves. Seros was an effort for all of them to create something new. The world itself was forged by Muradin, lord of crafts and the earth and with it he created the dwarven race to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Cerollen and Melora brought life to the earthy land. Bringing trees, grass, and eventually the Elves and Wildlife to roam and find their homes amongst the wilds. Pelor, brought the a bright star for the world to revolve around so that its plants and peoples might have light and warmth from the otherwise cold darkness that existed, and eventually created humanity to enjoy his gifts.
As time went on in the creation every god or goddess added something to this world. Good and Bad. When the gods imbued their creations the ability to craft and create and be inventive....they first built homes and civilization. However War was also introduced as they began to bicker of various ideas, properties, and lands. For a time order reigned in many forms and ways, as the world took form, civilizations spread over the four major continents and various islands scattered across the oceans.
The peace and advancement civilizations and mortals enjoyed however was shattered when the gods broke from their sacred concordant to not interfere too much with mortal affairs... Deities struck at each other and the Lord of the Nine hells rose and slaughtered many of his fellow Deities in an attempt to seize the power of the pantheon for himself.
Destruction and chaos reigned as the heavens and hells shook. The world itself found all the rules changing or being broken. Civilizations crumbled, continents shifted, lands sunk beneath the waves...and after a century of warring. The dust finally settled as the majority of the pantheon save four deities remained alive. Though their goals and motivations may have differed they set about the task of rebuilding the pantheon and reestablishing order to the world of Seros.
New gods were crafted, or given the powers of old. New lines were drawn and the world finally began to rebuild...nearly a thousand years have passed since the destruction of the old pantheon, and the world finds itself moving onwards.
Ardanis, the 'old' world as they refered to themselves was rebuilding slowly as their lands had re-emerged from beneath the seas..discovering and learning of what may have been lost beneath the waves.
Arlanis, the western lands discovered by the Ardanians before the great war of the gods, engages in constant posturing between the various nation states, with wars resolving with no good lasting peace to be spoken of, the people look to the future hoping for a time without bloodshed.
Sarovalia, the lands of the north kept hidden from the rest of the world be strange storms and mists. Locked back in ancient times the civilizations slowly grow and plant the seeds of propserity...but something stirs that threatens their chance to move forward.
Laslty Varithros, a continent once left desolate and empty from empires long past. Now filled with life and differing cultures and ways of being...and strange powers brewing as they continue to march onward.
