Cerilia was originally inhabited by the elves, dwarves, and goblins.
Fleeing the corruption of Aduria by the dark god Azrai, human tribes
settled Cerilia. At first contact between the elves and humans was
peaceful, but conflict soon arose as the human population expanded into
elven lands.
After years of manipulation and machination Azrai's armies marched on
Cerilia. On his side were his Adurian minions, the Vos (a human tribe
he had corrupted), and the elves, bitter from their wars with humanity.
The human tribes and their patron gods met him in battle at Mount
Deismaar, located on the landbridge between Aduria and Cerilia. The
elves realized they had been tricked by Azrai and most switched sides.
As their armies fought on the slopes of the mountain, the gods
themselves met in battle. The other gods were only able to defeat Azrai
by sacrificing themselves. In a colossal explosion, they destroyed
themselves and Azrai. Mount Deismaar and the land bridge were destroyed.
The power of the gods was not wasted, however. It shot out and
entered those present at the battle. The champions of the gods, those
closest in ideal and virtue to their patron as well as physical
proximity at the time of the cataclysm, received the most power. They
became gods themselves, a new pantheon that would replace the old.
Other combatants also received some of the divine power of the gods.
On the battlefield it did not take them long to realize that this power
was in their blood, and could be stolen. A scion, as one of the divine
blood is called, could have his blood strength stolen if killed by a
blow piercing his heart.
The divine gifts of the scions make them able leaders. They form a
connection to their people and land, drawing strength from them. And in
times of need returning that strength and perform great deeds. They also
can have a variety of other divine powers, such as long life, the
ability to detect poison or project a divine aura, depending upon their
bloodline strength and the god it was derived from.
Those who find themselves with the blood of Azrai often become
powerful abominations, or awnsheghlien. Corrupted by their dark blood,
their bodies twist to reflect their inner corruption. Many of the major
villains and monsters are awnsheghlien. Examples include the Gorgon
(stone-skinned with a petrifying gaze, perhaps the strongest creature in
Cerilia), the Sphinx (an insane half-cat lover of riddles), the Spider
(once a goblin-king who fought at Deismaar), and the Vampire (once a
young hero who killed a blood abomination named the Sinister and thus
became corrupted himself). Races Allowed:Human (there are 5 races), Elves, Half Elfs, Dwarfs, Haflings, Classes, Slandered Player handbook Classes Use Point Buy, 33 poonts, with a seventh ability Bloodline, example, STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, CHA, BLD
