They formed a place they called Dia Noche, and focused on the perfection of every last valley, lake, mountain, and tree. Years later, finally satisfied, they set the spell about the land, and those who entered were no longer capable of dying by natural means, with the exception of age. Then, they began to bring in their most perfect creature, or so they thought. The equine. Of course, with the horses, came bugs, birds, and other mammals. But their wish was for the horses to rule here, and so they did. The time that followed was known as the First Peace, and in it, lived seven exceptionally talented horses. Four were male, three female. The gods by this point were getting weary, and so when each of these equines died, they appointed them to a position, and one by one, the realm of the gods was taken over by Fate, Elan, Strife, Fey, Polar, Westen and Brine. The seven choose sections of the land to guard, and shared one large portion. They named the places after themselves, and temples were built around the rim of the shared lands. Then, they're imperfect natures got the better of them. They wished to have their followers as the most powerful. They gave them a few of the gifts they themselves controlled, and in doing so, the First Peace ended, and the First War began. The mortal horses split, some of the dark of heart, some preferring the sun to the shadows, and others undecided. The ones who were uncertain occasionally took part, but stayed out of the bloodshed more than the other two sides, which were complete opposites, and thought the other side foul and disgusting. On and on it seemed to drone, the constant sounds of war, the uncomfortable feeling of death and pain and loss setting into everyone's bones. Finally, too many were dead to continue well, and the First War ended. All knew it wouldn't last long. For a time, the gods despaired at what they had caused, then three of them began to long for it to come again. And so, with the rivalry of Strife, Brine and Polar against Elan, Westen and Fey, the fighting began again. It was broken up by Fate, who then assumed the role of Head Imperial. Smaller fights broke out below after the second large war had stopped, but they were nothing more than that. Tension is growing in the air, and Fate has a feeling he won't be able to stop the six other Imperials from fighting, and therefore causing a third war down below, for much longer. Each side is strengthening and growing with every day. The only questionable things are when it will happen, who will die, and which side will, in the end, come out on top? « Last Edit: Nov 20, 2007, 5:09pm by Hidden » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Forum Jump--------------------» Home--------------------» welcome--------------------- hear the earth whisper- call on the wind- silent secrets- come, enjoy yourselves- hello, goodbye- ask or request- bulletin board--------------------» be born--------------------- hear, and send praise- become blessed--------------------» lands of gathering--------------------- fate's hands- elan's grounds- lands of strife- fey's watch- polar's expanse- westen cliffs- isles of brine--------------------» royal lands--------------------- lands of joy- lands of uncertainty- lands of spite--------------------» surrounding kingdom--------------------- sunfall- sunlake- sunsky- twilighttide- twilightwood- twilightvalley- mooncanyon- moonmountain- moonriver--------------------» more than a bedtime story--------------------- main temple- life temple- storm temple- ocean temple- flame temple- glacier temple- mystic temple- realm of the gods
