Long ago the outer gods of Order
and Chaos became the Father and Mother of this world, shaping it with their
immense power, and seeding life upon it through their congress. But that was
long ago, for the Father and Mother have abandoned this world for fear of
tearing it asunder, leaving behind artifacts of great and terrible power, so
that those who live upon this world might rise up in it’s defense as it’s gods.
This is a long tale of ages long and storied, from the dawn of civilization
until long after its last embers have been snuffed out. A tale of men and gods,
of mysticism and progress, and the eb and flow of time. But most importantly it
is a tale of heroes who shaped the world and its peoples.

and nations, and/or determine any
shenanigans their ascended may have gotten up to in the meantime in order to
set the stage for the next epic Saga, Rinse and repeat until the end of the
