This is a collaboration with Dark Storm Gaming, a roleplaying forum, for Darkness Reborn a Roleplay where it is played through the villains perspective. Most of the lore was done by me (Asherian Command), we all worked together to finish projects and writing. This includes all the History and Descriptions. This is a detailed look into the World of Or. On the forums we have to use pictures. But ever since I myself am not Artist I have to borrow from Devinat Art. For the purposes of this look, I will not be using pictures for this.
The Lands of Òr The World of Òr is a world unlike any other. This world terran like in comparison is a world that seems to have its polar effects witched, the Deep South being the coldest and most inhospitable of all the lands of Òr. There are 5 Continents In the land of Or. The geography varies, from forests to deserts to marshes. One of the Continents stretches for thousands of miles and is considered to be the very center of all culture, and is ruled by several kingdoms, The Elves of Stone and Wood Controlling the Mountains and the Forests. The West Banks and shores are controlled by the Kingdom of West Shore, who are the proud descendants of the Talderian Empire who once control three of the five continents. Then there is valleys that connect the Super continent, this is the Kingdom of Oren, an ancient kingdom that has seen demon invasions and stopped the Overlord in his tracks. They are battle harden and are expert archers. The Peninsula of the super continent is the Kingdom of Velio, a Merchant Kingdom, who are lead by a Merchant Council. To the southern parts of the super Continent is the ruins of the Talderian Empire capital, it is here that the kingdom ruled until its destruction during the War of the Dead, to the north is a long patch of woods that acts a border, this is the border between the former Talderian Empire and the Kingdom of Ango. The Kingdom of Ango is a Kingdom of Druids, who are all inclined to protect the forests and the people of Òr. They are sworn enemy of the former Talderian Empire, but now they watch over the dead lands of the Talderian Empire, which is now rife with bandits and decaying cities. This part of the Continent has been destroyed by war after war making it almost inhospitable but many still live there as they have no choice but to live there. (UnApproved) The Continent to the West is the Kingdom of Dwarves, this place is a beautiful island that once was ripped apart by a volcanic activity but it has ceased around Four Thousand years ago. It has left the island with many mountain ranges which has lead to the dwarves making it their home, it is rife with life and its lands fertile it is populated by men to the south and north, who are also part of the Dwarves Kingdom and act as the main provider of fish and grains for the Dwarven Kingdom. The Dwarves delve deep into the earth finding many precious materials and are known for their crafting and forging of weaponry. The Other Continents are held by many other empires, kingdoms and peoples. But many of these empires are so minor that they usually do not have a hand on anything that happens in the World. Infact many of these continents are too busy warring with their neighbors to care.
The Void The Void is a mysterious place that lies beyond the very fabric of reality it is a place that people often consider to be like purgatory but instead meant for those who are banished and are not welcome in either side of the Spirit War. As such it is often sought over by the Heavens and Hells in terms of finding creatures to use in their eternal conflict. The Void is home to dragons, vampires, werewolves, and even the druids.
The Void is endless, sometimes a mortal being is sent into the void. Those unlucky mortals who travel in the void go insane and their minds become scarce with recollection. These beings gave birth to those who take care of the Void. The Hooded Men, the servants of the Figure in the Void. Though that is a topic for another time.
It is said that the void is completely endless, and pocket dimensions and new worlds are constantly created. But this is only theory by philosophers and mages. For while the heavens and hells have at one time been figured out by mythological data, everything that is known about the void is only speculation by mortals, and even immortals. Many have tried to divine its secrets and its endlessness, but it is downright impossible to know.
Geography: It is similar in color to the night sky, with many bright lights, it is a road of sorts to different pocket dimensions, all floating and giving off light. They are all considered to be heavens for the creatures sent there. The void is like a star field, but unlike the heavens and hells which are tiered due to severity they are scattered and random. Infact many philosophers and mages believe that the Void is the night sky above the Lands of Or.
Examples: The most famous of these sort of heavens is the home of the Revenants. Unlike all the creatures in the Void, these are the only beings that are considered to be summonable, but at great risk. A being of equal worth must be used to create a portal for them to walk through. The Heavens
History of the Land of Or
The Talderian Empire One of the most ancient and powerful, of all the human kingdoms. The Talderians were considered to have the grandest armies, and cities that the human races had ever seen. The empire once began as a republic in rebellion against their king. The Talderian republic soon fought many wars and became one of the largest the world has ever seen. But the senate grew weak and a merchant took over the entirety of the republic, he became the first king of the Talderian Empire, dissolving the senate and growing it more of as a trade empire. The empire quickly lost its power over time, and weak king after weak king brought it low. Its trade routes were smashed by many other kingdoms, but its time came to an end with the arising of the newborn god Nitorian. The Empire was decimated, in a single day. As the newborn gods rage devoured the empire. The Remnants of the Talderian were scattered, its military fighting to the last man among the thousands of undead horrors of their ancestors. And a time of darkness swallowed the land of Ör that had not been seen for an age…
The War of the Dead For a thousand years the newborn god reigned chaos upon the lands of Ör. The great kingdoms of Ör reviled in fear as the Great God sent his armies against the living. Even with the combined efforts of the races, the newborn god still won every battle. The Gods trembled at a god that could steal their powers away, the Sin Gods not seeing this declared war upon the Newborn god and were imprisoned within their own realms. Kingdoms fell and Only one kingdom held the Newborn god at bay. The Druids and the Gods of nature, but even with their interference they were unable to hold them back for long. Hundreds of thousands had died. Populations had gone down completely. But then came the Descendant and the largest amassing of men, elves and dwarves the world has not seen for an age.
Rules of Magic
Magics of Or This is a detailed account by the Illustrious Magus Vulkos Vladmir.
The Laws of Magic In order to use magic one must have the proper tools and training, The most basic of these tools are focusing iris. This allows you to actually use magic, these can be staves, amulets, magical books, stones, or on extremely rare occassions using yourself as a focusing iris. Case and point Radigost the Necromancer Lord during the War of the Dead according to records did not have to use any focusing iris, because he learned of a way to use his abilities through himself, this is usually seen as extremely dangerous and only those of extreme skill could do this. Focusing Irises are how we Mages and Wizards control our abilities, It is how we are able to fire bolts of lightning from thin air. Without a stave we are completely powerless. There is a taboo and unoffical rule among all mages is that Resurrection Magic is strictly forbidden, as it is also impossible. As seen by the Goatmen Clans who are masters of Necromancy have yet to replicate their kin into living creatures once again. The only rule of all magic is that you cannot create something out of nothing. Magic is created from the essence of energy that lies within all beings, in order to channel this energy one has to use a focusing iris, if all that energy is gone, the user dies. It is extremely draining to use magics for too long as it usually leads the mage to fall unconscious. There is an exception to this rule Void Magic, which is forbidden and almost impossible to actually use, unless they are neither angel, demon or mortal. As it usually leaves the user dead and completely lifeless. The only beings to master it are the Revenauts of the Newborn God. I myself am an Arcane Magic user and an Elemental Mage, I use all four elements and I do not specialize in any more than the other. I have gone throughout the lands of Or and I have traveled to the places of fictious events like the Great Battle of Oren, which is now ritually guarded by the Rangers of Oren. I’ve seen the great Talderian ruins, and I’ve even visited the Yeti Tribes in the South. There are many other things that I will cover such as the different types of magics and their uses. Elemental Magic One of the most commonly practiced magics through the lands of Or are the Elemental Magics. Focusing on the magics of the air, earth, fire, and water. This magic is extremely easy to learn for any, and many usually specialize in a certain magic. There are other magics within elemental magics like poison and acidic magics. Fire Mages can call upon flames or fireballs, they can create giant snakes made of flame. Earth Mages can create boulders and fire it upon their foes, and they can create creatures made of stone to protect them. Air Mages can create lightning, and beings made out of clouds that can electrify their enemies. Water Mages can create water of destructive power, and can create beings made out of water who can freeze their enemies. This has created many specialist mercenary groups or mage clans. These mages usually use books and staffs to use their magic. Enchanting Magic An uncommonly practiced magic is the art of enchant. This magic is famously known to be used by the Obsidia Knights who commonly enchant their weaponry with powerful magics. It literally means to imbue an object with the users powers, This often creates weapons that on the touch could explode an enemies armor or catch them on fire. Or it could be more subtle, a blade that shines in the dark that shines only when the dead are near, and the blade can kill those who take no breath. This magic is usually highly practiced and is used by the forgers of great skill. They use anvils and hammers to imbue weapons, giving them special powers. Arcane Magic Another common magic is Arcane magic. Arcane magic is using the cosmic powers of the stars, and magics never before seen. This is often what leads mages to create their own spells, and is the most commonly practiced. This magic allows the summoner to throw at their opponents cosmic energies and can they can create beings that protect them from harm from these cosmic energies. They like most use staves and books to channel their powers. Necromancy Feared and completely outlawed in the Lands of Or are the foul magics of Necromancy. Once a very rare magic only practiced by the Goatmen tribes, it has become common place due to the rise of the Necromancer God Nitorian or so they say. Nitorian is a legend, the God that rose an army from the fallen empire of the Ancient Talderian Empire. The magics of necromancy is quite powerful, but it requires many things, bones, dust, blood and flesh. In order to summon an undead creature one must cut their hand into a sacred goblet. This has actually lead to the creation of many foul creatures, as Necromancy is more of an exact science, hence why when a village is taken over exactly a dozen villagers are left with their bodies drained of all blood and the local cementary is completely empty. This magic’s focusing irises are various, going from knives, to staffs to blackened books. Hell Magic (Black Magic) None are more damning than the magics of the hells. This magic is dangerous and extremely violate, even to the user. Though destructive this magic often leads to the user becoming addicted to some sort of curse. There is always a price with Black Magic. Only demons are free from this, as they have already paid their price. This magic amplifies normal magic to a degree, the users are often channeling through a black book or a stone. Natural Magic Of all the magics i’ve ever seen the most awe inspiring are the incredibly wondrous magics of nature. These magics are incredible, as it focuses on communing with the Spirit Gods of our World! The most famous users of natural magic are the Druids. They can call upon, shapeshifting, roots of the earth, temperature changes, the soil to engulf their enemies, small tremors, and can even commune with animals. It is a very wonderous art, that mixes the abilities of natural magic with potions. All who practice natural magic are also wonderous healers in natural medicinal herbs. The magic itself is not as defined as Normal Magics. They usually channel their powers through their amulets or fetishes that they carry. Holy Magic A magic practiced by the supposed heavens is the magic of Light. This magical power can help heal those who are ill, and the holy light can also damage the undead and demons. This magic is extremely hard to go into detail as it is truly wondrous to see a Paladin a naturally gifted individual of the light use this magic to its fullest capabilities. They shine as if beacons of hope on the battlefield when fighting undead, their presence seeming to kill those undead and put them to rest. This magic is a rare magic as most of it’s users use vows, prayers, and words that the paladins repeat within their minds to control their magic. Telekentic Magic A Magic once thought to be almost impossible was rediscovered. It is a magic that few have been able to use, as it relys soley on the mind and bending the essence within you. This magic allows it’s users to read minds, throw objects, and on extremely rare occassions control another’s mind. This has also lead to the rise of fortune tellers who say they have the power to see into the future. The valdity of this statement is up for debate among Mages. As I’ve previously stated, Telekentic Magic relys soley on the mind, this is the Mage’s way of using their magics. Hence the rarity of its practice. Rune Magic Otherwise known as old magic, it is the route of all magic, a magic that rely on runes. This magic is warding magic and anti-magic, able to create fields of energy that beings cannot pass, or make a being look invisible. There are many other ways rune magic can be used, it is also a magic that allows the user to teleport. It is very old and the only way to use it is through runes that you create in the ground with just about anything. Blood Magic This magic is known and feared for being extremely dangerous to others and it’s users. This magic allows the user to control creatures and beings. This is also a magic where beings can create beings made of flesh, such as Familiars. This magic is highly voliatile as it often leads to the magic rebounding and leaving the user disfigured. This is the most commonly practiced art for those who wish to ressurect a fallen loved one. Void Magic Though I have little to say on the matter, void magic is the most powerful of all magics. But it comes with the most risk, it can tear holes through reality. And no being can use it without dying. The only beings who seem to ignore most of the dangers and be somewhat immune to them are the Revenants. But they do not unleash it’s full potential, I’ve only ever encountered one Revenant in my life and I was only able to defeat it when the Revenant lost control of his powers. Though this may of been because his magic was able to destroy half a village and raise undead from the cementary. I was extremely lucky in this regard. This magic is strictly forbidden and the Revenants from my observation of them from texts are well aware of the risks, and only use it in times of need.
Organizations
The Amberian Legions Known for their impenetrable lines of defense, the Amberian Legions are the lands of Or greatest defenders. They have fought against hordes of demons and even angels and have emerged victorious. They are fercious Warriors that have held against gods and most notably Nitorian and the God of Pain. They are one of the few armies to have defeated the Nuckalavee in single combat. They are lead by the Amber Chieftain, a warrior who wields two hammers. The Amber Chieftain he comes from a long lineage of demigods of the Divine Bull. The Amberian Legions are blessed with long life and for having the strength of 10 men or so they say. They are extremely capable and have held their lands against any creature.
Their armor is made from the finest of materials, some say their weapons are gifts from the god of the forge. He gave them it as a gift as thanks for saving him from the clutches of Nitorian. During the war of the dead they were almost completely wiped out in the greatest battle in the war of the dead, the battle of the Oren. They along with their Cheiftain, the Bastard Descendant, The Ranger King, The High Magus Knight of Obsidia, and the First Paladin faced Nitorian. The Chieftain was slain by the First Bone Dragon, but before he died he slew it. The dragon and him fought in the air as he rode it down crashing it into the ground killing him and the bone dragon. They were almost completely wiped out to a man but they were still victorious during the battle of Oren. To meet them on the open battlefield is said to be suicide. They have faced the Overlord of Sidthe and have won many times.
The Rangers of Oren The Legendary Rangers of Oren are responsible for the downfall of Nitorian’s Undead Legions. They and their aim beyond human. The Rangers of Oren are lead by the Ranger King, a mortal whose sense of stealth and warfare is unrivaled. He and his rangers have caused many bandit groups to disappear and even armies. They are known for the magical bows which are said to be enchanted to allow them to switch to any type of arrow head they wish. Sometimes this arrow head could be made out of magic or fire or even ice. Their bow magic has allowed them to kill many targets that enter their lands.
They are known for wearing hoods and robes that change colors according to season. They are incredible trackers, and are often marksmen, their skill with the bow even outmatches those who use the revolutionary gunpowder. Their bows are said to penetrate and are more accurate and have a longer range compared to the new guns that have been developed.
They were like many organizations that helped fight against Nitorian. They fought Nitorian not on the open battlefield but in ambushes, cutting off Nitorian’s supply of troops, meatwagons and many foul things were stolen from him. The Rangers of Oren are also known to be one of the longest lived organizations having fought in many battles against the Overlord of Sithe. The Rangers of Oren are a feared force and are veterans of countless conflicts.
Knights Of Obsidia The Knights of Obsidia are warrior mages. They are the greatest mercenaries the world has ever seen. They are talented mages and swordsmen, but their primary element is fire. They are known for the wars the make upon the world. And for having purple armor and their incredibly famous swords. The swords they create are their focusing irises to amplify their powers. They live in the Tower of Obsidia. The former home of the God of Wealth.The Knights of Obsidia are humans, and elves that dedicate their lives to mastering their craft and for this some of them live for cenutries. It is unknown how the Knights of Obsidia live for so long, as many of them are human. The Knights are talented fire makers and forgemen, and are Soldiers for hire. Though it is quite known that the Knights of Obsidia do not demand money but something else. What they wish varies from Knight to Knight. They often travel in groups of 12. They are known as the most effective mercenary troops the world has seen because of their commitment once they have been paid in full at the beginning of their venture. They are also known as excellent assassins and for being one man armies if they so wish. The Knights sword is often sought after a Knight has been slain. But the blades are built to recognize the bearer of the blade. Those who are not of the Knights of Obsidia instantly burst into flames and fall into ash as if magma had touched them.
The Golden Horde An ancient order that are inherently demons and former mortals that have gained the power of gods. The God of wealth though was turned into a dragon, his Demi God son took over his place as the God of Wealth, he uses his power unlike his father to feed his massed army of soldiers that are demons. He chooses those mortals that wish to not die and to make their lives worth some. They are on par with the knights of Obsidia. In fact the Knights of Obsidia drove the Golden Horde from their homeland. The two mercenary groups have been at war with each other ever since. The Golden Horde focus on magical abilities of water and ice. They are skilled at the powers they use and are known for being extremely needy in terms of money. They are devious and extremely dangerous if not paid their full pensions. They only wish for one thing. Gold and wealth and fame and sex. They are skilled swordsmen, riders and if ever gathered into a single place are known for breaking entire battlements. Their cavarly and lancers are famed for being extremely powerful. Their terrifying charges have made entire battalions break. The Demi-God only wants his forces to get large enough so that one day he may conquer a kingdom for his own. He is often very elusive in his Castle. The famed Palace of Silver, a Palace guarded by the Warrior of Greed. He surrounds himself with powerful guards and terrifying guardians. He even keeps the most exotic and beautiful women in the lands of Ör. He has many children that are within his palace many who have tried to kill him, but they are mortal and he is immortal. Where he kills them outright after they try to kill him.
The Counts Legion The Count’s Legion were once countless in number now they are but a hundred in number. Wearing the bones of their victims and armor fashioned to hold their souls. They are neither the dead nor living like their master.
Like their Master, they were once proud Man at arms and Knights of a Kingdom, all twisted by their master to be perfect beings. This has caused many of them to be egocentric, and fanatical for their leader. They follow only him and those who command him.
They are masters of combat and like their master they draw their energies from the void. They are exceptionally hard to kill and are the polar opposite of paladins. In addition to use void powers they can raise undead, but they mostly use their raised only for meat shields as they prepare their magics to kill their opponents by summoning Bone Golems and Other creatures of darkness.
Unfortunately their magics do not allow them to bring back powerful beings. They are unable to bring back any of the Count’s Legion unless they have access to extremely powerful magical items. Due to the power in creating or reviving any Revenants they do not wish to waste magics in resurrecting their brethren. Instead they hope their Master will do it for them.
They wait with their master for the call to war. So they may exact their vengeance on the world of the living. The Paladins of West Shore The paladins of Westshore are the most famous defenders of the Lands of Or. Famous in their craft and for their equipment they carry. They have humble beginnings from the now Mythical War of the Dead. It has been exactly two thousand years since their creation by the Legendary Warrior the Bastard Descendant. They have trained themselves in the mastery of weaponry and Holy Magic. Like many organizations in the Lands of Or they have many different tasks they maintain. There task is to hunt evil where ever it may be located. They once were an organization created specifically to combat the Count’s Legion but since it became extinct they had no more task to deal with the Paladins became stagnant until the Church of the Light took them in. Giving them a headquarters, and a new mission to hunt evil. Though this evil was not defined, only the church defined it and sent the paladins off to hunt.This has lead them to hunt down witch covens and necromancers. This has lead the organization to have smaller numbers compared to what they once were. Their magics of the holy light are able to inspire others and to destroy beings of darkness. They can call orbs of light to protect them from dark magics and even infuse themselves with the light, making them avatars of light for a short time. They even have the power to heal others, to exorcise demons and send them back to the hells. They also have a large library within the Capital of westshore. It holds records of demons and creatures of the world of Or it is maintained by the monks of Westshore, these silent protectors of the library are often sought after by the paladins if there is ever an ancient enemy they must defeat. The Paladins are often clad in white armor, with runes placed on them so magic may not harm them. They weaponry shines with holy energies, and they have the look of most West Shore peoples, being the descendants of the long destroyed Talderian Empire. They wield different weaponry, depending on the paladin. Paladins are trained from Knighthood, only those knights that prove themselves can ever dream of becoming a paladin. Those paladins in training are known as Guardians, they are part of the Paladins of Westshore but they are nothing to be trifled with, they are still knights, who have been trained by the West Shore Military. Lately the Paladins of Westshore are investigating strange up-rise of the Necromancer Cults and Witch Covens, Such as the Coven of Nitorian and the Coven of Sin fighting a hidden war against each other.

Drauqr are mages that are bound to the bones and armor of a long dead warrior. They are extremely powerful and practice their art while they guard their task given to them by The Mage Council.
They can still use their magics that they once used in their mortal lives, but now their magics are amplified. Their bodies are considered to be relics, which means their powers are tenfold.

Their claws are razor sharp and can break through armor with ease.
Its skin is fabricated of almost steel made armor, they are extremely tough to kill and their hides sell for a fair weight in gold. But they are rarely ever killed, if there is a Barghest alone by itself, it is probably a trap.

It is extremely rare for a werewolf to spread their curse to others. But if the werewolves are getting older and they find a suitable person to curse they will.
Werebears Werebears are similar to the werewolves. But only larger and more terrifying. Though lacking the speed of the werewolf. Werebears make up for it with large amount of strength and durability, they feel no pain, and unlike werewolves those that are werebears are fully aware that they are cursed. It is said that the first werebear was a Human called Yuron, he one day found a bear trapped and freed it. The Goddess of Beasts and the God of Nature descended upon him and offered him a choice, that he could safeguard all the animals of their kingdom or he could live forever.

Dragons Dragons are the most ancient of beings. The creation was done by the Goddess of Creatures and Beasts. Dragons come in many different species, and colors. They each have powers over elements and over varieties of powers. But they are creatures, with intelligence, they are no dragons that ally themselves with mortals. They would rather eat them to satisfy their large diets.
These creatures are known for five main species, The Fire Drake, The Water Drake, The Shadow Dragon, Air Dragons, and the Earthened Dragon.
The Fire Drakes are known for their fercoity and for their hoarding of gold and treasures in their lairs. Many brave knights have tried to face the Fire Drakes and have been turned into ash. They are extremely fast and their breathe can melt stone and metal. They have red scales and are known for being massive and for being extremely dangerous if provoked. They are often the most hunted and most common dragon that a man will ever see. They make their homes in caverns, abandon keeps, and mountains.
The Water Drakes plague the seas and lakes of Ör. Not wishing to be disturbed by saliors or fishermen. They live within the water and are known for having exceptional strength, and power over the tides. They have been known for sinking entire fleets of ships, before they are slain. They are exceptional swimmers and are one of the few dragons that cannot fly. They are known for also causing whirlpools.
The Shadow Dragons are dragons that have become corrupted by dark powers and used by Demon Lords for their own purposes. These creatures are enslaved and manipulate the world around them, when a shadow dragon comes, it causes nightmares in its victims, and the ground turns black as it begins it’s descent onto its prey, firing black flame from its mouth that cannot be put out by water. Their scales are darker than night and as hard as obsidian steel. They are enemies to all life, including other dragons.
Air Dragons are extremely powerful but rare species of dragons, mostly due to their terrifying powers over ice and the air they were almost hunted to extinction due to their powerful abilities. But they have rejuvenated their population in a terrifying pace. They are terrifying creatures that often prey on herds of goats, oxen, and sheep. If provoked they turn into villages into ice. Their screams of war are so terrifying it can be heard for miles, and sometimes causing men’s ears to burst with blood.
Earthen Dragons are dragons with the toughest scales and the great strength, being able to cause tiny earthquakes and land slides. These Dragons are exceptionally territorial when another dragon gets near their territory or their mate. They are gentle to other creatures, but do not wish to disturb the natural order of things. They are the most protective of creatures and of forests and are one of the few dragons that have been tamed by the druids no less.
There are Many other Dragon subspecies, but they are either a mix of the main five or so incredibly rare that these dragons are rarely seen by a mortal. Such as the Golden Dragon, the Rival of the Shadow Dragon, is a dragon purified that brings good dreams and peace to lands. But it still will destroy any creature that gets near it.
Giants
Giants are deadly creatures, that when provoked can destroy entire villages. They often travel in small herds to hunt down creatures or raid villages for food. They are often well traveled and terrifying warriors. They are unforunately not very smart. They are nomads and move place to place.
Wolves Wolves are everywhere in the world of Ör, like Dragons they are found everywhere in different environment, unlike dragons they do not control the environments or have special skills. Instead they are incredibly intelligent and good companions to rangers and many folk. Though untamed wolves are known for ripping their victims apart.

They make great pets and are known for being man’s greatest ally and companion. Those that have not been tamed still roam with their kin and hunt down game, rabbits and smaller creatures. If provoked though they will attack all at once. They are ferocious if one of their kin is attacked, but they are incredibly intelligent creatures that are often used by the Spirit God’s as Messengers.

Evil and Fallen Creatures
The Fallen Angels Fallen Angels Fallen Angels are angels that have fallen from grace and are struck down to the mortal plane, the endless fields of purgatory or to the fields of despair in the hells. These angels are usually lawbreakers, oathbreakers, or an angel cast out for disciplinary action. they are often hunted by demons and mortals alike, as fallen angel blood is a mixture for powerful spells and eternal youth. Among the mortals these creatures heralded unpredictability, terror and love, hatred and wisdom, calmness and anger existed side by side without rhyme or reason and the world of Or was beset with havoc and chaos. They are now able to feel emotions of the mortal coil and are able to give into sin, fear, terror, and hatred. Some Fallen Angels go mad with the sudden pouring of emotions into their minds. But all beings know of the story of the first fallen angel… A powerful Female Arch Angel,
The first fallen angel wished to become like his god. For her insolence she was cast out from the heavens, like all fallen angels she fell to purgatory as a meteor the demons took her and bound her to an eternal stone. She unlike her brethren had dabbled in magics when she was in the heavens, she was far too powerful for the demons to control and the Eternity stone was placed on her so that she would never escape. The Eternity stone is a stone that drains the user of all the magical powers as long as they are tied to the stone, the stone is as large as a boulder and indestructible. Now she is the eternal prisoner of the God of Hatred. And one of of his favored prisoner to torture.
Most often fallen angels become lost in the fields of purgatory, driven mad by grief, making them easy targets for demons or for demons that wish to create a powerful ally. The few that have not given up into grief such as the fallen angel Azarael The Black Seraph fight to survive, these fallen angels are often seen as destroyers, as they hate mortals. These angels are filled with no humor and are often been tortured by demons due to their resistance. Fallen Angels are quite powerless compared to the Angel’s of the heavens. Their powers of from the heavens are severed, their armor and weapons are taken from them. In order to compensate usually learn talented magics to hid them so that they are not chased after by demons or witches. Those that become allies of demons lose themselves to terrible curses, the curse of blood, the curse of darkness and the curse of deceiving. In extremely rare occasions, those Fallen Angels who have put too much though or study into the mysteries of life and death often causes them to go mad and become Deathlords.
Fallen Angels are usually naked after they have fallen, taking the armor of anything they find, but many remain without their clothing so that they could better use their natural abilities.They are pale and still as beautiful as they were in the heavens, unless they were tortured by demons, in which the Demons of Lust and Envy often rip their wings from them and draw blood sigils and pour damaging acids onto these fallen angels. Many fallen are captured and their wings removed from them, some become gladiators and are allowed to keep their wings, but are shackled so they cannot use them.
Angels of Darkness Those Angels who sided with the God of Darkness are the Angels of Darkness. They are not fallen angels, they serve the hells. Wielders of darkness, they are the Anathema of the Angels of Light. They are not fallen angels, but Black Angels, instead of being impowered by the powers of light and life, they are powered by the powers of darkness and death. They are few in number as demons just see Angels of Darkness as nothing more than angels. Angels of Darkness have since gone into hiding due to their god, The God of Darkness being defeated by the God of Light. They wait for the day that their god and his avatars reforge themselves into the God of Darkness once again, and they can take their place alongside the God of Darkness as his faithful soldiers. Angels of darkness wield the darkness as their weapon, able to conjure creatures of darkness from the shadows, they are able to control shadows and are able to turn any creature into a being of darkness. They also have powers over chaotic magics, such as calling pure dark energy from the ground to destroy their enemies. They all wear hoods so that none may see their face. Those mortals who have been unlucky to see an angel of darkness with their hood off are turned into stone.
Deathlords The Anathem to life, are the Death Lords. A million years ago, the gods saw the destructive power of the Death Lords and locked them away within the void. The Death Lords can be summoned from their prison, but they are said to be so powerful that the heavens, and the earth tremble. Their powers are enormous able to conjure plagues, lightning, fire from the skies with their magic. Their heads are skeletal and their bodies are skeletal as well. The Death Lords are small in number, and believed by many to once have been Angels. This is true, Death Lords are former Angels of Wisdom, but their knowledge grew too great and they damned themselves with the knowledge they had found. They discovered a magic unlike any other, something that even gods fear, Void Magic, the extremely powerful and dangerous magic that is forbidden to angels, demons, and mortals. Their magics grew uncontrollable and they were locked away in the void. They are impervious to mortal weaponry and their knowledge of antimagic is to the extreme. They are extremely few in number numbering maybe two dozen, Two of their number having been slain, one during the spirit war, and one during the war of the dead. The Death Lords wield a spear shaped with a sickle blade, their wings fuming with deadly plagues and poisons. They are surely a blight upon the world.
Hellfire Knight Those angels who fight for the hells are known as Hellfire Knights. These hellfire knights are extremely vicious and are servants of any the Hell Gods, or Lords of Hell that can satisfy their curse. Their curse is the curse of blood, their eternal craving for blood is legendary. They wield Hell magic or better known as Dark Magic, this magic is extremely destructive but in return for its power, the user becomes addicted to magic use and the consumption of power, this power is signified by blood, which is the power of life. Hellfire knights also wield the blood they consume as a weapon, they use blood magic to fashion weaponry made from the pure essence of blood.
Their bodies are said to be aflame, their beautiful hair as a former angel is set a lite, and their wings are ever burning. Their faces are pale, and their armor red with the blood of their enemies. They are malevolent and constantly changing sides of the Hell Gods, for whoever is going to quench their cravings for even a moment. Due to their curse they are blood thirsty and often seen as barbarians, even by demons.
Deciever Those Angels who fell due to wish in becoming Gods themselves became deceivers. They are lords of lust, and deciet and the favored of the God’s of Lust, Terror, and Pride. As both god’s see these angels as more demon than angel. Their wings have become batlike, and they are often gifted the abilities of shapeshifting. When they are not in their shapeshifted forms, they are said to be beautiful, most deceivers are usually female, these forms have been able to trick many men into coming to their services. Able to shift into any being in existence except those of god blood and those who have no blood. They are often sent into mortal or demon armies to start confusion and to lead those in those armies in rebellion and most times to their deaths. Deceivers are extremely powerful if they are ever discovered, wielding the powers of a Hellfire knight, and magic of attraction. They are different from succubus in terms of talent and goals. A deciever hungers for deceit and to cause chaos, while a succubus hungers for souls and pleasure.
Avatar of Darkness Said to be created from the very fabric of the missing god of Darkness, a former major god turned minor. Is the Avatar of Darkness, when the God of Darkness was defeated in single combat against the god of light, his body was destroyed into pieces, these pieces soon became creatures, or better known as Avatars. Living breathing pieces of the god. They are terrifying to behold and are said to be so powerful that the sun is said to go dark, and the moons of Or to give no light. Their power is so mighty that the gods of the heavens and hells locked them away in the void. As the god of darkness had no allies, and was the former ruler of the hells before he was overthrown by the hell gods and the three and then shattered by the god of light. They are terrifying, but many of them have been locked away, those that remain are either powerless, or have been slain.

Characters/Legendary Beasts/Legends Ram Hoteph The Dark Magician; the Lord of Chains; the Collector; the shadowman; the Nightmare Fangs; Weilder of Sepirion, fanged blade of Kazador Kai, the Angel of Grimnor. Steve. "…..Why are you asking about the boss? Are you insane? He ate my sister! Not in the good way either!" -Random soldier "Now. I’ll say something for my son, he certainly knew how to pull the spirit from your body and shred it into tiny, tiny bits" -A spirit, when asked if it knew Ram Hoteph "MY BLOOD IS INK" -Flagellant after preaching to Ram "If you ask me, I’m quite laid back" -Questioner was soon murdered (Eyeballs eaten) after asking the Magician how he sees himself. Now, you might be wondering what a dark lord of evil magic, who stole a sword from an angel (Who he still leads around on a spirit chain) is doing serving some dark overlord. Quite simply, he decided that he should help other evil along. Well, actually, that was a lie. The real reason is that he took a major defeat at the hands of a minor god a few centuries ago (An alliance of Celestials decided they wanted a friend of theirs back, and brought their patron into play). To say the least, he killed quite a few of the angelic warriors sent against him, and managed to escape with a fraction of his power, rather than being utterly destroyed. He decided to attach himself to an up and coming overlord in the hope of destroying enough people and eating their souls to regain his full strength. A growing Dark sorceror needs a lot of fuel. Then either remove said overlord from the equation, or go off and take revenge on the god that damaged him so. For now, he leads a cabal of three other sorcerors, none who can put a shadow onto him, and a force of warriors who serve him because of his abilities, and the plunder that he gives to them. Having a powerful magician throwing balls of shadow that invade the innards of your enemies and brutally tear them apart from the inside is kind of useful. Or he could wait till you’re bleeding on the ground and walk over your corpse….possibly stabbing people with a huge fanged broadsword. He’s been involved in several battles across the centuries, mostly aiding generals who had amassed and army…then murdering them while they slept and removing any and all evidence to that fact. Entire armies suddenly forgetting that they had a general before a big speech by their sorceror, who used magic which was awfully draining on him to make them forget, allowed him to find the next gullible warrior, and then the next. Now, The Lord of Chains leads his large collection of Demons and Celestials from fortress to fortress, his army and cabal aiding him. Nowadays, battles against heroic paladins and mighty wizards are not so easy, and he must use all of his guile, cunning and magik to kill his foes. The fact that he is now so weak (comparitivley) irritates him in a way that makes his soldiers tremble, and he usually consumes one of their souls to make himself feel better. A painful process. Eventually, he’ll either eat the soul of a dying god, or several hundred thousand beings who are not considered evil, and be back to normal. Normal for a few thousand year old lord of all darkness, fire and shadow…. (dear original Creator, this character i found recently. And I thought YOu might need to know where it went) (IMAGE MISSING) Riku Whilst little is actually known about her origins it is wildly believed that Riku is the offspring of a Dark Elf and Daemon, with a bleak history to match. An assassin for hire, Riku has become legendary not only in the assassin world but also with those who delight in the suffering of others for personal satisfaction. In fact, the majority of Riku’s contracts tend to be Revenge contracts, where the benefactor wishes the target to suffer a long and very painful death at the hands of the female assassin. For those lucky enough to be spared a long drawn out death, the sound of creaking leather from above or behind is usually the last thing they hear before feeling the sharp blade slicing into their flesh and clawed hand caressing their chest as it rips their skin. Riku’s name became well known after the assassination of a well loved Town Mayor. His crime, was trying to raise taxes on the profitable weapon dealers operating in the town in order to grant concessions to the orphanages who were struggling to keep their doors open during a cold winter. Riku kidnapped her target right under the noses of the towns best guards, spiriting him away to a secluded barn where she delighted in spending the next two days slowly slicing away his flesh piece by piece, grinning at his muffled screams. After an anonymous tip off the town guards found their leader, strung up in the rafters, hands nailed to the beams, body void of flesh and charred badly save for his face. He lived for just a few moments, barely able to speak the words “Riku” with his hoarse voice before dying. Riku is not the hardest person to find and is well known for choosing certain establishments as being her haunts late in the night. The easiest way to find her is to simply ask the barmen that you are looking for her, and if your very lucky that she isn’t in a bad mood you’ll have just enough time to make your case before she decides whether she will simply slit your throat rather than listen to your babble. There have been many mentions of rich powerful lords hiring her services as part of a group to achieve their goals, and while she is willing to work with others her fee’s usually rise if she is required to keep casualties to a minimum. After all, where’s the fun if you can’t slice open a few people here and there? (dear original Creator, this character i found recently. And I thought YOu might need to know where it went) The Magus of Obsidia -TEXT- The King of Oren -Text- The Lords of the Horse and Hawk Are from the once great Talderians. Those warriors who were masters of the Horse, or better Known as the Horse Lords or Horse Knights they are legendary men, their Calvary charges ended entire battles with a single charge. After the death of one of the Royal Horse Lords in the name of the King, the entirety of the Horse Knights betrayed the king and joined the Count’s Legion. After their integration into the count’s legion, and the Ascension of the Newborn God. It was they who joined Giaus and were the first into turning into Revenants. Their horses who had be slain in previous conflicts were raised from the dead and became beasts of death. Their bodies became energy like all other Revenants. Their eyes glew with strange colors, and their armor became smooth and had ridged bumps, their armor became a second skin. Some discovered they could wield magic. But many of them soon discovered what they truely were, they were stronger than other revenants, what would kill another revenant would take many other hits. During the course of the War of the Dead, they were all banished or slain. The only Remaining Lord of the Horse, or better known as The Revenant of the Dragon. Who was then slain at the end of the War. Their legends of terror and slaughtering entire villages and towns are still the tales and horror stories of the young. They were vast and the greatest of the Count’s Armies. Those of the Hawk or better known as the Hawk Lords during their time in Talderian Military. They became like the Horse Lords Revenants. They were the messengers and bannermen of the Legion. They often lead the Reventant armies and are often the more skilled in magics. They were the sorcerers of the legion, giving up much of their martial skills for magical skills. Like all Revenants, if one practices too much magic their bodies become brittle and they are easier to kill. They became so powerful that a single stroke from a sword would slay them. In order to prevent their weakness from being apparent they rose from the dead mighty creatures of bone and flesh to protect them from being harmed. These creatures were terrifying, they are siege weapons, and terror weapons of the Legion. Count Balduin Noris Von Christophe Stauffenberg The Newborn God Status: Banished to the Void Noris is a Newborn Dark God, who draws upon the energies of the Void. He and like many of his own kind draw upon the energies of the void for substance and for their power, but he uses the darkest aspects which has caused him to become driven to see himself as a superior being to all creatures. But he is not as powerful as he once was. Unlike any other god before him. He was once mortal and human. Something he had shed a long time ago. Noris was once a proud Count underneath a King with a very large kingdom, who often made war with its neighboring kingdoms, Noris left for war and returned to find his family was assassinated, he left his kings service along with the Counts man at arms and knights. He Traveled atop of a mountain and bargained for power. Many assume his family was actually sacrificed, for the ritual. He was able to pull a god down from the heavens and took the gods powers for his own. He saw no use to this Former God and wiped its memory with a flick of his hands. With his god-like powers he took his fanatical army and turned them into ‘perfect’ beings. Men turned into undead creatures, energy beings that could only be seen with their armor on. So was born the Count’s Legion. But after a hundred years of destruction he’s powers were sealed away, and his soul riped from his body, and thought destroyed. The slayer was none other than His only Remaining Descendant, ‘The Bastard Descendant’. This titantic battle killed many of the Count’s Perfect Beings, the world splintered, and broke, As a three thousand mortals and a many thousands of undead and Energy beings lay dead on the battlefield. The Bastard Descendant with his army of Paladins chased off the remaining undead and Energy Beings back to a fortress, which they then collapsed upon the Remaining Count’s Forces. Revenant of the Dragons The great Bone dragons of the once great army of the Counts Legion were controlled by a very powerful Revenant whose name has been lost to the annuals of time. He can control the dead with exceptional powers and is known as the Wraith of the Void, the Destroyer, the Dragon Slayer. Some say he was a great Knight from the War of The Dead that gave his soul to the Newborn God. The Newborn god then took his soul and placed it within a suit of armor, making him a Revenant. His powers were created ten fold and was as powerful as the First Revenant Giaus Antonian. The Revenant of the Dragon, then went on a journey and slew fifteen dragons. He then took their bodies and raised them into undead creatures. He controlled these creatures with his will. They were the first bone dragons, and the only ones ever created. He spread his powers and remnants of his soul into the dragons. He used his bone dragons to kill hundreds, and slaughter entire peoples. He raised creatures of undeath and was a terror of the North. He was then sent to hell to deal with the Gods of Hell. It was he who imprison the Sin Gods and almost won the war in Hell. But before he could reach a victory at the Fortress of Hatred, he was recalled, because of the arisen Bastard Descendant. His dragons and he himself arrived and turned the Bastard Descendants war around for the Newborn God's Forces. They were bidding their time for his master to return from the Heavens to deal with the Descendant. The Bastard Descendant and his party slew the Revenant and three of his bone dragons were slain. The other twelve bone dragons later appeared at the battle of Oren where they were almost completely wiped out. After the battle only two of the Bone Dragons survived escaping the Armies of the Bastard Descendant. Then catastrophe struck as the Legendary Paladins of Westshore were able to hunt down one of the Bone Dragons. The Bone Dragon lay dying, the paladins believed that the last of the bone dragons was slain, and that the Last of the Counts Legion was defeated. Though there was one dragon left. Its powers have returned to it, but it has slept among the piles of dead dragons. Its horns are broken, and its wings are large as battlements, its eyes glow with white, and it fires blue flame. It is only legend among the Paladins of Westshore, that the last Dragon exists, many dismiss it because of obscurity and there are no sightings of it as of yet. Some say the last Bone Dragon still dwells in a cavern; its body is now covered with armor. It is the last of its kindred, and now it seeks vengeance. The only man to have ever seen it was a mage…. We walked down the angular path and we heard a howl in the night. It was a cavern, and the night had settled around us. A roar of Defiance of absolute sheer terror ran through my bones. Above us came a roar and two of my party were slain as blue flames engulfed them, their bodies becoming ash before him. The creature came down and picked up the last of my party and she was torn to shreds from his claws. It then flew down to the ground in front of me. I cast my hand in front of me, energy forming at my finger tips. I released off magic towards the beast and a barrier seemed to be protecting it. My wand glowed and spiked with energy in my other hand. It fired its flames upon me but I raised my hand up and the earth formed a shield around me. The flames scattered around me, I threw my hand up to the air and lightning struck the beast. It howled in pain. I then cast my hands and twisted them and the earth heard my call and created shackles for the beast. It lay before me, a creature of bone, its body glowing with energies and smoke. Its teeth were bare and blood ran from its claws. Its eyes were that of evil itself. "What are you beast? Why do you haunt these lands?" I yelled at it. The creature laughed, and a voice of sheer evil came from it. The Dragons voice echoed in the cavern that I was in. “Beast? I am something more than that, Wizard.” The creature threw up its mighty wings destroying the barriers around it. I looked in fear and I tried casting my spell again but the creature fired its breath upon me hitting my hand and my wand turned into ashes and it took my hand with it. I bellowed in pain. "Your are a fool for coming with so few. But you fought well, so I will spare your pitiful life!" The beast yelled. "Beast what is your name so that all may fear you?" "My name is Rudianos I am the Serpent of Bone!" The creature laughed, its tail hitting the earth. My world went black as I passed out from the pain. I awoke and found myself alone in the cavern. My party lay slain around me. I saw before me hundreds of bones of humans and adventurers, for I was not the only one who had discovered this creature. Iheson The Legendary Demon of the hells is Iheson, a demon who is the right hand of the Goddess of Terror. He is a demon that controls the minds of his victims through sheer terror. His powers are almost endless. Able to transform himself into any creature in existance, his true form is a terrifying Black Demon with black wings. He is known to be the terror of Kings, and the purger of faith. All those who look upon him, know they are to endure a pain that no being will ever know, and their anguish will satisfy him for years to come. Helindor's Bane A feared creature through out all the lands of Or is the near mythical Beast called Helindor's Bane. The mighty King Helindor lead his people and his vast armies in conflict against the elven kingdoms. Helindor was a great King of the Talderian who held half the world at his command, and raged an endless war against the Elves of Wood and Stone. His magics were divine and his people wealthy. Every kingdom he fought he conquered. He himself was a great warrior, and mage. But they found a cave of unimaginable magical power. There the King Helindor walked with his greatest knights and a creature of untold terror arose. Within these caves dwelled the Demigod of Monster's favorite pet. The only one of its Kind. Helindor and his men fought bravely against the creature. But only a single knight returned, he had grown older at the glance of the creature. He's dying breath was its venom digs deeper than steel and died soon after, his body oozing with green liquid. It's power is almost completely legendary. Those lucky few who have been able to get near the creature tell tales of a creature so powerful that even the gods fear it. The Creature has only been seen twice, once by Helindor himself who subsequently died, and the Third King of West shore, who stumbled upon the cave, and soon after ran for his life. It sometimes travels to sustain itself goes after caravans of traders and merchants and quickly returns back to it's cave. Waiting for its masters call to war. It is a creature that has three heads. Three Snake like heads, that breathe a gas volatile to every being in existence. It has corrosive acids which can melt armor and blades. It is a being to be feared, and thankfully there is only one known to exist. Some seek it for its venom that is said to drop a man in a mere hour, so that they may dip their blades in this venom so they may use it upon their enemies. None have ever succeeded. It is considered to be a dragon subtype, but many monsteriologiest argue that it is something completely different. (CREATURES) Devils These creatures seem to exist outside of the normal realms of being, they do not live, they do not seem to eat and many are little more than a tough exterior that vanishes when broken. They differ from demons in the normal sense that these creatures are not born of human souls, but rather are forged directly from hell fire. They are lesser compared to most all demons, for they do not have the power of a human soul to draw from, unable to perform sorcery and incapable of speech or rational thought these beasts are just that, beasts, but made of the infernal flames instead of flesh and blood. This does not rob them of the capacity for danger however and most are hulking brutes that can tear a man in two. They are often harnessed in great infernal chains by Sloth’s army and caged, then released upon the earth in times of battle. Lesser Devil: This insidious creature loves nothing more than the simple pleasure of inflicting pain upon others. Small, impish and bearing the elongated wings of a bat the lesser devil spends most of it’s existence flitting around the pits in which human souls suffer for eternity. These creatures possess a terrible hunger for a human soul and often gnaw at those who are trapped within the pits, devouring them for eternity hoping to posses some of that essence that they so crave. When they are released upon the world of Or they come in great flocks, hundreds of these vicious creatures will flood a town or city and carry the inhabitants into the air where their infernal prescence will draw the very souls of humans from their bodies and leave them lifeless husks that are still compelled to move and exist. These poor souls will forever hunger for human spirit just as their twisted progenitors and will feed on human flesh in a desperate attempt to get it. They are then left to plummet to the ground leaving a city or town filled with the walking dead known as ghouls. Lesser Devil Ghoul Hell Devils These beasts are little more than slavering soldiers ready to be released upon the world of Or. They differ from normal devils in one key aspect: They are failed creations. A Hell devil is created when the soul of a human chosen to be turned into a demon looses it’s integrity. And in the midst of the forging something goes horribly wrong and the demon is left a husk of what a demon should be. These beings are cast down to the plains of Anguish to be used as cannon fodder for Sloth’s army. They are powerful in their own way however and are fond of possessing humans and trying to cross over into the mortal realm by absorbing their spirit and emerging from the broken body of their host a fully fledged demon. Else they will rush in packs when released from cages and relentlessly hunt down anything with a soul. Greater Devils A Hell Devil lucky enough to possess a human and emerge becomes a demon, a fully fledged demon, usually of the kind they were originally meant to be. But Devil that possesses a human and is forced out, usually through exorcism, becomes a Greater Devil, a creature fulled with the power of a human soul, usually a virgin human soul (Far easier to possess as they are not already marked down by the Four Horsemen for torment) but they are not made by this soul and can only draw from it’s power to improve their own form. Recast then from the creatures they were into gigantic monstrosities of hell flame and pure hatred for all life Greater Devils should be avoided at all costs and seek only to wreak havoc upon the world that denied them full ascension. Abyssal Devils If a Greater Devil is what is left after a hell devil tries to ascend but is denied, the Abyssal Devil is what is created when an Ascended Devil returns to Hell. Clad in the power of many dozens of human souls, sucked from those nearby at the time of ascension, these beasts are terrifying and horrible. A creation of pure twisted power that seeks only more power. Stripped of form and being save for the barest of elements these spectral creatures can exist in multiple dimensions at once and suck the soul from the very ground, as well as the living simply by existing nearby. When they are forced to take shape for battle these beings choose towering forms of infernal flesh and sinew wielding massive blades and axes that rend at the very fabric of existence. Utterly terrifying to behold even angels flee from these beings. Fortunately few have ever existed as Angels and humans alike are vigilant with excising devils from the possessed to prevent such an occurrence. Currently only a single Abyssal Devil exists and it’s name has been lost to the histories of time, it is known now only as the Grim Reaper.
