Myths, Stories of the Gods¶
The Arcane War¶
A Myth of Panos and Kogarashi
When the gods ascended, the archmage Kogarashi denounced them as usurpers and forged a pact with a conclave of mages to wage war against the new divine order. The final clash erupted at Ancho Groncho, a labyrinth Kogarashi himself had built. Panos triumphed — but Kogarashi's body was never found.
The Gems of Origin¶
A Myth of Panos
Gems of immense power, each embodying a different force of existence — Light, Growth, Time, Heat — were scattered across Galluvinchia before memory began. One illuminates An'Ramoda. The others have never been accounted for.
The Gates¶
A Vision of Panos
Panos is haunted by recurring visions of a shadowy figure stepping through portals to claim Galluvinchia. He believes these are prophecies, not dreams — and searches for the key to understanding them.
The Pillars of Rebirth¶
A Myth of Panos and Brenadette
Panos promised Brenadette he would free her from her eternal vigil over the Neverender. The Pillars of Rebirth, he believes, hold the answer. He still searches.
The Cycle of Life¶
A Myth of Brenadette
When the Primordials fell, someone had to take watch over the Cycle of Life. Brenadette descended into the Neverender and has not left since. The perpetual light of Renewal blinded her. She has never slept again.
The Tainted Tribe¶
A Myth of Brenadette and the Serpent Aolosh
When the snake deity Aolosh was slain during the gods' ascent, his tribe descended into madness and marched into the Neverender to war against Brenadette. With Aremedia's aid they were defeated and banished to Ourobolis, where the sea turned purple with Aolosh's blood. They still venerate him there.
Giants of the North¶
A Myth of Aremedia
A choleric madness spread among the giants of An'Ramoda, threatening the city's peace. Aremedia exiled them to the far reaches of the North. The giants have not forgotten.
The Fight With the Wild¶
A Myth of Aremedia
Mighty roots tore through An'Ramoda's farms and structures as nature surged from the East. Aremedia brokered a pact with the heart of the forest, and the advance stopped. A delicate peace has held since — more by memory than by trust.
Moroes the Lover¶
A Myth of Moroes and Morphia
Moroes gifted the future gods tool after tool, each forged to the rhythm of his heartbeat, asking for Morphia's hand in return. When divinity was achieved, the wedding was cancelled. The heartbeat of his anvil, they say, is the only thing that stops the ache.
The Thread of Virtue¶
A Myth of Morphia
After enduring the end of her love with Moroes, Morphia wandered the land and created the Thread of Virtue, a divine thread born from grief and growth. From it, she founded the Academy of Magic Waves and Dreams.
The Beauty of Her Life¶
A Myth of Morphia and Leeve
When Morphia withdrew into sorrow, one of her devoted paladins swore an oath to restore her. Through patience and acts of kindness, she succeeded. Morphia, moved, elevated her to godhood — and she became Leeve, goddess of beauty and nature.
The Last Lost Scholar¶
A Myth of Leeve
Leeve spent her early years at the Academy of Infinite Travels, a long-forgotten institution. One by one, her teachers vanished. When the last was gone, she turned to Morphia.
The Granter of the Holy¶
A Myth of Moroes
Before any gods existed, Moroes's craftsmanship was already without equal — gift after gift placed at the feet of those who would ascend. He received godhood. And a broken heart.
