Dieu et mon Droit
It has been six million years since Maerios, God of the Earth, forged - from nothing - the mortal world of Acheron. Since then, other Gods have made their mark on the - at first - lifeless planet. Khasku, Goddess of the Sea, coaxed the world in a layer of ocean, allowing the Gods of Life and Nature used their combined force to end the reign of death and bring life to the desolate rock. They were followed by Celestius, God of Knowledge, who took it upon himself to alter the life forms created by the two other Gods to create a race of intelligent beings. The other Gods, too, soon followed the lead of Celestius and used their own skills, in some cases knowledge stolen from Celestius' Library, to create their own followers. Nations formed, and now they look up to the Gods once more for guidance.
