Prologue - The Nine Gods

Prologue - The Nine Gods

There was a world that had nine gods that ruled over it. They were Materani, Materbestaie, Matermonst, Hominis, Tenidecro, Pumilio, Spiralo, Pecus and finally Mortinca. Each god had their own dominion, position, and creation or creations to look after, either by lending a helpful hand to protect them or watching over them.

Materani, Materbestaie and Matermonst are three goddesses that rule over nature, however each one rules over different type of the fauna. They were the first Goddesses and Gods of the nine to start creating. First making the planet and the terrain, the ecosystems and food chains. When they were done there was a planet the size of Jupiter, with five continents.

Each Continent had their own climate. The North Continent was frozen solid, almost nothing lived in those harsh conditions of it. Having no season to farm, every day having a blizzard lasting for hours and the temperature going below 30 celsius on a warm day! Only creatures that have an affinity to Ice magic can survive here or that can withstand the temperature and the lack of food.

The West Continent was a lush Rainforest and tropical climate. Jungle beasts, insect monsters, and water monsters love to thrive there. Where food is always abundant and that you are always a step away from death from all the dangerous animals there, non-poisonous and poisonous.

The East Continent is a giant forest of different types and lakes/streams, in each section of the continent’s forest is a new season, new trees and different fauna. This continent has lots of wildlife but not as much from the West but more than the North. They say the middle of the continent is an interesting place to live, where all the sections meet.

The South Continent is Hell on earth you can say. It is the opposite of the climate of the North Continent. It has volcanoes everywhere and the land is charred with mountain ranges mixed in. You will find the many demonic, reptiles and fire elementals here.

Then there is the Central continent which has each of the parts of the other continent reaching onto the edge of it while the middle of it is forests, prairies and mountain ranges. You will find many normal animals, Magical beasts and some humanoid monsters.

After they created the Continents they had to but their plans into action and populate it, which

Materani began creating animals of the land and sea. By doing making them abundant everywhere that nature thrived, which the rest started following through.

Materbestaie then created the Magical Beasts, animals that have grown to use Mana that flourishes in the world, that every being has. However they have grown to use it to become stronger and survive in the harsh world.

Finally Marermonst, the creator of Monsters such as Goblins, Ogres, Trolls and Orcs to say a few. The monsters that she created are not apart of the main races due to them being created to help maintain the food chain in the world like the other creations that her other two sisters made.

Hominis then created Humans when the world was done by the three sisters, and based his creations after himself.They were weak when he first created them in the central continent which was to difficult and harsh for them to live, and he was pained to see his creations die and fail.

He asked the other gods if he could give them gifts to help them survive, such as advance intellect, curiosity, and the ability of adaptivity to help survive in the world. The other gods noticing his plea and allowed him to give it to him but nothing more, not to upset the balance of the world. Humans than started to create tools and taming the land, making homes for themselves and finally small civilizations to help survive together.

The second to make creations of the Main races was Tenidecro. Tenidecro unlike Hominis, planned out what to give his creations, he was friends with the the three sisters and wanted to help protect the beauty of the world they created and to preserve it so he created the slender and tall Elves and the small magical Fairies.

The elves were more attuned with nature, having knowledge to live with it and not fight it every day to survive, that doesn’t mean they were weak however. Elves were in every way stronger than humans and it would have to take five humans to take an elf down. Fairies were like the elves however had more of an magical affinity, and could do miracles with nature but were really weak physically wise.

Tenidecro put his creations on the West and East Continent to live in the Lush rain forests of the west and vast forests of the east.

The third to make a creation to populate the world was Pumilio. He created his creations with the goal to be the best miners, architects and craftsmen in the world, making the dwarves.

He sent them to live in the mountains of the Central Continent and the ones from the South Continent. They created their cities into the mountains and flourished there with the minerals and ores beneath the mountains.

The fourth was the Goddess Pecus who created the Beastmen. Pecus was amazed by the creations of humans and wanted to create something something like humans however wanted to make them stronger, which made him decide to make them have animal characteristics.

Beastmen come from the West Continent and come in lots of different forms such Dog beastmen, cat beastmen, bear beastmen ect…

While this was all happening Spiralo was disgusted with all of the nature loving creatures that disliked violence and wanted to make the world a little chaotic which she than created the Imps and Demons to combat the Elves and Fairies and their woodland homes. The demons had many shapes and sizes but they all had the impulse of kill and destroy.

Mortinca was the only God to not create a creature to inhabit the world as his job was to watch over all the creatures and to end their lives at their time to have eternal rest. He did create the Harbinger of Death or also known as Grim Reapers to be his hands, mouths, eyes and ears of the world. He had to create them to help him due to the demons being aggressive and attacking the other races. The other gods and Goddesses were upset with Spiralo because of this but could do nothing to help their creations unless they were almost destroyed.

However the Gods and Goddesses also disliked the idea of his creations being Immortal like them and being unable to die like their creations, which made them jealous and upset.

The only two that didn’t dislike him for it was Spiralo due to him never complaining about all the Death and that Demons just naturally like him as much as their own goddess. The other Person that likes him is The Goddess of animals, Materani. They were great friends even though her job was giving Life while his was taking it away, he loved Life even though he had to take it away which allowed them to be friends.

The others were uncomfortable with their friendship and tried to make them stop but couldn’t find anything to break their friendship until the day Materani’s favourite Deer was slaughtered by humans.

She became so heavily depressed knowing Mortinca had to take it’s life away, she wasn’t upset at him however but just upset in general but Mortinca was also upset knowing he had to do it. Because of this he did the unthinkable after it died, he brought it back to life as an Undead, the first of its kind.

They were all horrified to see what he has done, even Materani was disturbed to see it, only Spiralo was amazed by it however said nothing. The other Gods and Goddesses started mocking him and sent their creations to kill it off, which made Montinca upset not only due to him trying to help Materani but for the power he did and they were mocking him for it and trying to kill it. Materani started drifting away from him while this was happening which made him even more upset, and depressed.

Mortinca then threatened them saying if they killed it, he would do it for every creature that died and was not eaten or it’s body burned or purified. They thought he was bluffing and they killed it, they didn’t know how true his threat was.

Mortinca was enraged with what they done and the rose the dead of every dead body that was intact in the world and start causing havoc. The Gods were having trouble stopping the undead invasion but they did it after hundreds of years of fighting, but they couldn’t get rid of them all and the curse stayed.

They were upset but couldn’t say anything because he had warned them however they made sure that their creations hate the Undead for the end of times. They also banned the worshipping of Mortinca and anything that had to do with him was banned if wasn’t already hundreds of years ago.

Spiralo on the other hand and her Demons loved what Mortinca did and extended a helping hand to Mortinca and embraced the idea and creation of the undead. Mortinca was still depressed but was happy that someone at least still enjoyed his company and ideas, Mortinca and Materani made sure they stayed away from each other, but deep down they wanted to talk again.

However Spiralo and Montinca grown closer and became best friends, working together, which he gave the demons the magic of “Necromancy” and Death Magic. He also taught it to some of the other races who still worshipped him and loved it against the other gods displeasure..

The Gods were fearful with the union which Mortinca shouldn’t show favouritism at all was now showing it to the Goddess who wanted all the other races to bow down to her’s or die.

Now, It’s been thousands of years later, the year of 2072, 1839 years after the undead creation and Invasion. The races were now in a technology and culture of what would be the medieval ages, with castles, cities, villages and strongholds.

The humans have had the biggest impact with technological advancements however still dealt with the threat of the Demons and undead. Like the other races, they thought of them as a mosquito that won’t go away, being a pest but could kill them if it can just get a second to latch on and take a bite..
