[spoiler]actually tho, I was feeling creative so I decided to vomit up whatever idea I came up with onto this video game forum[/spoiler] [I]From "A Record of Agartha" by Midrus the Wise[/I] At the beginning of our age, eons ago, the Holy Comet came. The Comet saw the desolate ruin of the land before ours, and sought to create something new. The Holy Comet fragmented into three, and these fragments were the aspects of Truth, Judgement, and Beauty. These aspects gave themselves names: Solon knew all that could be learned, Apollyon brought his iron fist down upon the peoples, and Asmael created constructs of awe-inspiring beauty. The Three Divinities split the land of Agartha into three, and created a world that blanketed the old and decrepit one that came before it. An eon passed, and the people of Agartha flourished. [I]From "The Age of Disaster" by Saint Lor IX[/I] The very land of Agartha began to rebel, with devastating earthquakes sundering cities and carving valleys through the flattest of plateaus. Things began to die, people withering into husks in their beds and swaths of crops turning to dust overnight. Nightmare warriors, born of an ancient nihility, ravaged the land and killed whoever they desired. The Divinities held a council with the greatest leaders of Agartha to decipher the cause of this chaos. It is uncertain what verdict was arrived at on that fateful day, but the account of what was spoken in that council partially remains in the form of an ancient scroll written by my forefathers, kept secret from even the highest powers in Agartha. [I]From "An Ac_ount of __" by Th__kes the G__at[/I] It w_s fo__d that a fo_rth D_vini_y cl_imed th_s lan_ _efo_e th_ Hol_ C_met arr_ved. Sol_n re_ealed to me t_at his _ame was Hasmed, the Aspe_t of A_nihilatio_. The Divi_ities and Ha_med were anc_ent riva_s from a time b_fore the _orld exis_ed. The _ivin_ties theori_ed that Has_ed eva_ed their n_tice by hid_ng u_derg_ound and i_fecting th_ very l_nd they _uilt u_on. Th_y then t_ld me tha_ th_y would be _ble to defea_ Hasmed, but _he Night_are warriors d_d not b_de well for the Di_inities sur_ival, if o_e were _o atta_k them. T_e Nightmare w_rriors w_re born o_ somet_ing mo_e evil t_an _asmed himse_f, and ev_n a tou_h fro_ one wo_ld be en_ugh to o_ercome the Divi_ities. [I]From "The Day They Disappeared" by K.L. Be'ali[/I] Soon after the Divinities' mysterious council, a great battle was fought at the Silver Palace where the Divinities resided. Armies of warriors only described as "nightmarish" descended down upon the Palace and tore the walls down in a rabid hunt to find the Divinities. From what some ancient accounts describe, three great pillars of an eldritch purple light shot into the sky, accompanied by pained screams. A great blast of white light followed, and some texts theorize that this was the Divinities' last effort to protect themselves from the dark warriors who oppressed them. The Silver Palace was destroyed by that blast, leaving only rubble, confusion, and a world without the protection of the Divinities. [I]From "Prophecy" by Gogrun the Lost Hermit[/I] When darkened knight claim the land, And chaos spawns from demon's hand, The Holy Ones will lose their thrones, And nightmares claim this newfound home. A beacon borne of desperation rises, With holy touch but unknown purpose. To forge a path across the land, And free the Three from Hasmed's hand. Slay the void that lurks below, And restore Agartha to its former glow.
