Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is a story I'm trying to figure out the logistics of. I'm still working on the rules of the world, and the characters will have a conversation about them soon. I'll probably rearrange a lot of stuff soon.

INTRODUCTION:

The Three Powers was founded after the Battle of the Heretic. For three millennia, the most dangerous and unpredictable gods had been Harris, Nashra, and Vunci. Harris because he was the king of dark magic, Vunci because he wished to conquer with wisdom, and Nashra because he constantly acted on behalf of rebels and heroes. However, it became clear after the battle that there was going to have to be a new order.

After the battle, Vunci had finally prevailed in forming an Age of Enlightenment. The old barbarism was behind us, and we began to stray from the paths of magic and lore. To ensure that he could remain in command, Vunci wisely made deals with Harris and Nashra to gain their devotion. (Or what counted as devotion between dark gods and vagabond heroes.) The three pooled their armies and resources, situating them in a newly formed citadel between Helsimond and Brunehaven. The city was called Jaitoph.

Jaitoph became the last place of power in the world. When humans were chosen by one of the three gods, they were offered a place there. Over time, fewer and fewer were qualified, and the armies dwindled down to only a few dozen necessary warriors. By doing this, the best became servants to The Three and everyone else moved on with their lives. Otherworldly wars became few and far between. And when another god decided to make a move, they stood no chance against the forces of Jaitoph.

Each of the gods would keep a liaison between them and their heroes. These men and women were the most fierce humans and spirits on the earth. These liaisons would handle the business of the gods, making their intervention even less necessary. Through this, Vunci believed he could form and maintain a rational world.
