Everything changed when the System made a System-wide announcement and ensured that every sentient being on six worlds heard and understood it. The leaders, temporal and spiritual, on a further nine worlds also heard this announcement that marked the end of an era and the start of a new era.
ting: The Russians have slain the Gods Feroxibus and Sisanna stopping the Gods of Light invasion of their country. Their counter strike has rendered the City of Gods and half the Holy Mountain it was built on into radioactive dust. The Gods who were in the city are likewise dead. No magic was used!
The six worlds consist of:
Badonia, a fertile if slightly arid planet with numerous scattered shallow seas and the home world of the Empire of Light and the Pantheon of Light.

Astrikar, a world of deserts and narrow fertile coastal plains, The Empire of Light’s earliest conquest.
Stratsiosina, a verdant world with extensive mountainous zones inhabited by barbarous peoples prone to headhunting. The sentient forests play host to bloody handed Druids. The Empire of Light seized several footholds to control the natural gates and more civilized zones.
Auricia, a rich world with fertile soil and mineral rich hills. The Empire of Light has been concentrating on Aurica due to the relative abundance of gold and silver deposits.
Ervenica, a world of high mountains and windswept high plains, its coastal zones are capable of sustaining a considerable population density so long as the scarce water supply is carefully managed. The Empire of Light has seized the areas it considered worthwhile either directly or through client kings. Ervenica and Aurica are linked by countless natural gates, both large and small and share many features of religion and culture.
Midgard, well dear readers you will recognise it as a close clone of Earth.
So here is the tale of the wars and rebellions that marked the birth of a new era for these five plus one worlds.
