Gods of Farhiem
"In the beginning, there was a void, nothing, but yet something. Then from then void, a man rose, whose name is not spoken and is no longer here. None know yet where he has gone, or if he will return, but what we know, is that he was here once. He created our entire universe, with our star in the center and our world circling it. He made our world a paradise, and on it he placed us, the Highborn, the first race of gods. We did not have our domains, for all was the creators. And yet we still fought. Where once we had been numerous, we were now few. And fewer still, when our creator saw what happened. He cast down several of us, turning them into the first Lowborne, or Forerunner races. The creater then gave the remaining 5 Highborn their domains and departed. I was one of them, Fe, the lorekeeper and god of time. For eons I recorded time and history, watched as the first mortal races destroyed each other, and their descendants took over. My brother and sister Highborn died as they became synonymous with their domains, Dragur the water, Fod the sky, Mea the earth and Neson, who is fire. I lasted slightly longer to see thei essence congeal into new gods, who I assume are the ones who will read this tablet. I named them Newborn, the second race of gods, and left them the Laws of the Highborn. I also saw them grow, and the first of the third race born, who they named the Lifeborn, for their aspects are Mortal ideas. I then watched as I became more and more synonomous with time, until I reached my final day, which I have writing the following passages, which is all of history up until this moment. It is up to the second and third races now to forge it, for on this day, I, Fe, Time and Last of the First, move on to rejoin my race and pass our legacy down." - The Scrolls of Fe
It's been a while since I have seen a good ole god RP on here, so I decided to step up my game and make one. God rps are always fun, at least for me, and I figured this would be a good time to start one, being as summer is starting, or winter if you live in the southern half of our globe. The Idea of this RP is that we, as the second and third race of gods, are going to have to forge history and craft our own destinies now that Fe, Keeper of Time, has passed on. There is still a lot in this OOC so bear with me, or you can skip to the apps, as the God apps will be explained on them and don't require any of this additional info. Except for
DA RULES:
1. The typical pish posh, no godmodding, metagaming, you know the stuff. Just be courteous and do some good RP
2. Me, and whomever I name Co-op are gods of you gods, at least OOC. Our word is law.
3. Have Fun
Lore Stuff: This will be a basic explanation of a few races. I will be allowing you to create your own races and creatures, but that's a separate app. This is just the basic ones who are descended from the Fallen Highborn

Gods: We are going to be playing the second and third races of Gods, the Newborn and the Lifeborn. Newborn are the second generation and typically have more primordial domains such as being gods of certain races or storms or abstract ideas like order. Lifeborns are the third generation, either born from Mortal imaginations or from two Newborns. Lifeborn typically have mortal ideas and morals, like Truth, Justice, good and evil as their domains. Emotions also are typically Lifeborn domains as well, but more primordial ones like lust, satisfaction and joy may be given to Newborn. All Gods have their own separate realm, a small separate plane of reality that they control (Think like the planes of oblivion) and along with that they share control of Farhiem, or the world, The Archives, which are like the worlds blueprints (all new species and other things that affect the entire world are made here) , The pit, which is hell, and The Sky, which is like Heaven. There may be a god of the Pit, and a God of Judging who goes into the Sky. Each God may have, without the possible wrath of breaking the laws of Highborn, one Godly weapon. They may also increase and share power between themselves by marrying and forming pantheons.
Humans: Humans were born from Goroth and an unknown Fallen, who birthed the Kalin Forerunners, who would become Humans, Orcs and Elves. These races are among the few who can interbreed and create hybrid races, such as half elfs, half orcs, and Desert Elves, not mention several other combinations. Humans typically live about 60-90 years and grow to be about 6 feet tall, although they have been known to grow much taller in extreme chances.
Elves: Elves are also descended from the Kalin, though they are the closest in appearance to their Forerunner breatheren. There are many diffrent subspecies of Elf, however this mostly just pertains to their eye, hair and skin color. The 3 most prominent are Kalon in the north, which have the pure white skin and hair that they Kalin had, but golden eyrises instead of a Kalin's red. It is rumored that the old blood still sometimes mixes to create a pure blooded Kalin among them, but this has not been confirmed. There are also Alves, who have fiery red hair, olive skin, and copper eyes. Finally Drasof, who have jet black hair, pale skin, and electric blue eyes, however it is not uncommon for golden eyes or even red Kalin eyes to show up among them. Alves tend to live near Oracle Lake, while Drasof are found worldwide, being much more adventurous than the other two species. Several other subspecies exist, however they are few in number or isolated mutations among a larger population. Elves tend to live up to 200 years, 1000 for Kalon and possibly even longer for a true Kalin. they typically stand around 6-8 feet tall, nothing higher, though often much shorter for Drasof.
Orcs: Orcs are the final species descended from the Kalin, though they are also descended from the Drun as well. Some consider the Orcs to be the last Forerunner race, as they still remain the same as the first orc was when the Kalin and Drun first mixed. The Orcs are a red skinned people, with either pure white or pure black hair depending on which continent they live on. Eye color is typically blood red. Orcs have long since left their war like ways, and instead live amongst Humans, for they have never been able to establish a stable Orc only government. They are the other truely world wide species, besides the Drasof, as even the secretive dwarves will respect the Drun blood in the orcs and the Kalon are often friendly to them as well. ORcs typically live about 90-150 years, though there are reports, and records, of well fed orcs who no longer fight, living for much, much longer. Orcs typically stand at 8 feet tall, however demigods with an orc parent seem to have hidden magic within them that causes them to have much longer lifespans and stand at nearly 15 feet tall. These beings, known as Titans, have remained isloated outside of the rest of the world, living in communities upon the Yawning Isles.
Dwarves: Dwarves are a special race in the world. They remain ruled by an elite isolated population of their birth race, the Drun Forerunners, whose founders have long been forgotten. These Drun form a ruling council over the isolate Dwarves, who live mostly in tribal societies on Eastern Val. The Dwarves only let Orcs live amongst them, and thus very little is known about them. Dwarves are suspected to live for as long as 300 years, and stand at about 5-6 feet, though they were named unfourtunately because the last Dwarf population seen by Humans was a stunted little tribe plagued by years of inbreeding. They vanished a century ago, but some believe that a group of humans "Mercy" killed them. Dwarves have jet black hair, red skin and often beady black eyes. Drun are bald, have obsidian colored skin and pure white eyes. Drun stand at about 15-20 feet tall. Drun can live for nearly 2000 years, but will be killed by some jealous realitive before they reach that most of the time.
Demigods: Demigods typically resemble their Mortal parents race, but often have intresting tell tales of them being Demigods. Human Demigods will often, but not always, violet eyes and have an extended lifespan, almost living to 180 years in a few cases. Elf demigods will always look like Kalin, but remain typical height and age. They will have more extensive magical capabilities however. Orc demigods, known as Titans, are much taller and long lived, though they don't have anything special beyond that. Dwarf demigods are Drun in everything except age, though they wil in very rare cases also develop long locks of blonde hair.
Beast Races: Things like goblins and other typical weak enemies of mankind. They are the result of a complex and long tree of terrible inbreeding and crossing of Forerunners that they are simply acknowledged to be part Forerunner and not god created.
Just a few more small Lore rules:
1. Dwarves are not just going to be out in the world. Give a good backstory to why your guy has left the island, expecially Demigods, who are going to be among the most revered in their society.
2. Same goes for Kalon and Titans, they are rare outside of their respective homes and will need a good backstory as to why they are out there
3. No Forerunners, unless you TG me, give me a great reason why this individual exists, and then write 1 hell of an app.
