There are many mysteries surrounding the gods of Yerengal and yet their influence is felt throughout the kingdom. It starts from the icy tundra of northern Jotnar, moves to the rising dunes of the Eastern empires, and beyond the endless Zandur sea. Our understanding of them depends on our ability to look to the dawn of creation…
Generations ago, Alnarius, the King-god of Love, and Tilindia, the Mother goddess of Nature, created the universe, and Yerengal was their greatest creation. The first beings, also known as the Many, were created by Alnarius and Tilindia. They have been formed by Tilindia, but shaped by Alnarius, who gave them purpose, passion, and ambition. The Many were tested in order to demonstrate their worth, allowing them to show they can and would live in harmony with this new planet.
As the Many prospered, they began to refer to themselves as Man. Having realized the purpose of their existence, Man cared for the planet and sought the mysteries of their existence. The power and influence of man grew as did his faith and his faith granted the gods abundance in nourishment.
When new gods joined Alnarius and Tilindia, they welcomed them with open arms, even though many of these new gods yearned for the great power the two originals possessed. Alnarius and Tilindia, however, were happy to share their creation with them. These new gods did not always come from the light of the sun, but rather from the shadows of a void, attracted to the power of human infidelity or worse qualities such as chaos and disharmony.
The shadows of the land were made by a very powerful devil-god named Rothgor, whose intentions were evil. It was he who rewarded creatures for doing wicked things and causing Man to doubt and fear. Over time, the new gods developed the same passion and ambition that filled man, many of whom formed alliances with each other to gain more power.
They desperately strived to attain and maintain power which failed, but Rothgor’s aim has not changed. In his single-mindedness, he simply wanted to become strong enough to destroy Alnarius and Tilindia, which in turn would return everything back to pure darkness.
Alnarius and Tilindia were extremely powerful due to the land of Man, however. Rothgor could not overthrow them, so now he lurks in the shadows, influencing the fates of men in some way, always trying to undo their hard work.
Because of Man’s prosperity, Rothgor eventually became sickly and weak. It wasn’t until he was visited by Zornilsa, the goddess of greed, that he realized her potential. Rothgorhe welcomed her with open arms, and together they created the Black Geyser, the very embodiment of their darkest, coldest aspects combining to undo the world of Man. As the Black Geyser poisons Man’s mind and soul with greed and envy, it lurks in the shadows of Man, working much more subtly and with far more catastrophic results.
Now, the Kingdom of Isilmerald is facing a precipice of chaos, and mistrust has spread throughout the land. People of all backgrounds, whether highborn or lowborn, have become fascinated by material things. Splintering has occurred within the blessed kingdom of prosperity, resulting in distinct factions.
The Black Geyser has corrupted both sides so much, that both now prepare for war.
