The Mythic Age


It was the dawn of a new era when the world was forged in the flames of Chaos, and tempered by the hands of Order. The Primordials beings of great power were born from both Order and Chaos. It was Order who gave life and willpower to these beings. Yet Chaos wished to sow the seeds of discord and whispered into the ears of the Primordials giving birth to strife and conflict. Thus the Great Cycle was born one that would see reality shatter and reform itself endlessly across the pages of space and time.

The Primordials would fight an epic battle for who would come to rule the Universe. Mundus or the mundane plane was born from this very war of creation and destruction. Entire planets were born, nebula and galaxies created from the constant destruction. Many beings would emerge from this time of ruin, the Fates, who weaved the destinies of Gods and mortals alike, the Furies who exacted punishment on those who broke their oaths. In the end, the most powerful Primordial Aetempas Brightlord of the Heavens would reign victorious over all of creation. Aetempas would shire seven children with the Earth-Mother Terra giving birth to the all-powerful Titans.

At first, the Titans served the Primordials well, but the Fates foretold that Aetempas would be overthrown by his firstborn son Terratus. Aetempas would send the Serephims servants of the Lord of the Heavens to chain the Titans and banish them to the depths of Maelstrom. In the end, Terratus defeated the Serephims and rallied the Titans declaring war on the Primordials for their betrayal. The world was reforged in this second Divine War; the Primordials would be driven to extinction, Terratus would forever chain his father to the Sky separating him from Terra forever.

Now the Titans would be the undisputed rulers of existence for millions of years to come, yet the Fates continued to weave their destinies of all beings and foretold new beings that would come to rule the cosmos. The gods born from the various love affairs of the Titans, or born by the cosmic forces were at first beneath the Titans but soon grew in power. Terratus like his father feared being overthrown and tried to banish the gods to Maelstrom, but in the end, the gods rebelled, and soon the First Titanomachy was born. The gods would end up defeating the Titans in yet another epic war of the divines. In a twist of irony Terratus along with the other Titans would be banished to Maelstrom for all of the eternity tormented for their betrayal.

Now the Aetherian Gods are the undisputed rulers of the Cosmos, they rule victorious from their base of power Mount Atherius. Mundus is in ruins, having been destroyed in the Titanomachy and an entirely new world is ready to be forged, for better or worse a new destiny shall be born in this Mythic Age where gods walk the earth.

The Mythic Age as drawn to a close. The gods have ruled Mundus for millions of years, epic tales have been written in the book of time. Tales of heroics, love, great battles, and the creation of new things and ideas. But all of that is over,nigh is the time of the Dawn Age. The crowning achievement of all this is this creation of mortal races. They are independent beings with a flicker of fire called souls. They are weak by themselves but there is something unique about them. They have the power to shape the very gods themselves, to strengthen or weaken them through the power of faith.



Permise


Welcome roleplayers to Atherius The Mythic Age!This is a game where you the player will take control of a deity, you and your fellow gods have just defeated the Titans and are now in rulers of the universe. Right now Mundus is a mess and in need of some major renovation.

Now there'll be seven main gods, who will reign in a new pantheon similar to various mythologies in real life, ruled by a powerful supreme deity think Zeus, Ra or Odin. This is based on a first come first serve basis. Once all seven positions are taken, you'll still get to play as a minor deity, but you'll just be less powerful than general. Just because you're in the main pantheon doesn't mean your all-powerful, power in Mundus is fluid and waxes and wanes, especially when mortal species are created who'll influence the power of the gods. Has time passes on you'll find that your power may decrease has the Mythic Age draws to an end, in which case the mortals will become even more critical.

This is a dice game! Every god will perform a "divine act," and the Gamemaster will roll for the result. Now let's say you're a God of Earth, you'll obviously have more success when forging mountains, deserts, and canyons then anyone else but keeps in mind that this is a mythological roleplay. Thus there's nothing a god can't do, let your imagination run wild! Also be aware that some crazy ass shit will happen don't be surprised if a four-headed dragon is born from your blood once slain in battle or that meteorite you sent kickstarted an event that awakens the Deep Ones.

Atherian Pantheon


Image



From the tallest mountain on Terra, the gods of Atherius rule over all reality. It is a glorious palace of golden light and spires that reach into the heavens. Seven thrones adorn the center of the room where the Aetherian Gods pass their judgment. The Aetherians where the ones who overthrew Titans, and it was from this very mountain that cosmic history was changed. The most important of all the gods is the King or Queen. This Supreme Deity was most instrumental in defeating the Titans and acts as head of the Aetherian Pantheon.






Lore



Map


Image
Mysterious beings who weave the fates of all God and mortal alike. From their pocket reality, The Pillars of Time they forge the destinies of all beings. There is a room full of strings. These are the destinies of all beings. The dull strings represent mortal lives, while the golden strings represent the divines. The Fates hold the eyes of the past, present, and future, and see and know all there is to know. They have existed since time immemorial but only revealed themselves in the onslaught of the first Divine War. The Fates have always reigned has the rulers of Time and Fate, they deemed the Primordials victorious then the Titans. In the last phase of the Mythic Age, they have now deemed the gods' victorious rulers of the cosmos, but even the gods know not what they plan for while the gods all-powerful, it is the Fates who ultimately deem the destiny of all beings who call Mundus home.


Image
Beings of immense power, they were once the proud rulers of Mundus and all reality. Seven Titans ruled over Mundus led by King Terratus who chained his father Aetempas, from their Earth-Mother Terra for all time. The Titans ruled with an iron fist, species such has Serephims former servants of Aetempas where enslaved to their will, in this golden age, the Titans would have the entire universe bend to their will and ruled creation for untold millions of years. When the Titanomachy a great and epic war was fought to shattered the cosmos. The gods were victorious and banished the Titans to Maelstrom, for all eternity, they lay there in their torment biding there time to escape and once again rule over the cosmos.

Terratus
King of the Titans. He was the one who rallied the Titans in the second Divine War and defeated his father Aetempas, he grabbed the nebula and gases forging a mighty chain, imprisoning his father to heavens for all eternity. Terratus was at first a fair and just ruler of the cosmos, but then power and greed corrupted him through the eons. He became paranoid and fearful that the gods would overthrow him as he did the Primordials, thus he tried to banish the gods, only fulfilling the prophecy of the Great Cycle.
Dagath
Titan of Fire. Named the many armed ones for he wielded six blades of pure fire the size of mountains. At first, he swore an alliance with the gods, but then betrayed them. The Furies then rode in from the depths of Maelstrom and tried to torment him but his power was too great and he defeated the Furies, banishing them once more to Maelstrom, but in his weakened state, the gods managed to defeat him banishing him to Maelstrom for all eternity.
Solaris
Titan of Light and the Heavens. He was Terratus's second in command and the 2nd most powerful Titan in existence. He summoned great storms and hurricanes that ravaged the world over. He was as tall as a mountain so large that he threatened the very foundations of Mount Atherius itself. When he climbed the mountains the gods were nearly defeated, yet a miracle occurred and he was struck down falling to the depths of Maelstrom never to threaten the gods again or so it seems...

Ithos
Titan of Ice. He was in charge of the Northern and Southern poles of Terra and commanded his forces from those domains. Wherever he lead his armies, everlasting winter and snow followed, many gods were perished from his blade and frozen into pure ice, he was one of the most difficult Titans to defeat.



Alterra
Titaness of Air and Knowledge. She was the only one of her kind that did not betray the gods, instead watching the war from her realm of, Altaria and recording the events of the war for cosmic history. She is one of the most mysterious beings, in the cosmos and continues watching over the gods recording the last historic events of the Mythic Age.


Malacar
Titaness of Destruction, Mother of Monsters. She was a fierce warrior and considered by Terratus to be a weapon a force of pure destructive power. She commanded an entire army of monsters and lead them in her clashes with the gods. Many gods were killed by her blade, and in the end, she was barely defeated.


Vaedra
Titaness of Darkness and Illusion.The Pale Knight. Never truly defeated in battle, she constantly played tricks on the gods and struck with death and swiftness from the shadows. By the time the Titans where defeated, she had faded into the shadows, never to be found. It is said that she watches from the Shadow Realms, waiting for her chance to strike.Others say that she as left this universe to strike it out in another, in any case it is a mystery..,


It is said that Maelstrom as always existed before even the Primordials walked the realm of Mundus. It is a physical realm that represents the force of Chaos itself, thus like the planets and stars themselves it is infinite in depth and scope and permeates across the cosmos. Here the sinners are often sent, breakers of oaths, tormented by the Furies for their sins. Monsters hail from this realm, whenever a monster is slain by a god or hero, its soul is returned here, and is reborn by forces of Chaos.


THE RULES
1. Do not pick OP, domains such as order,chaos,time, or fate. There are already "Fates" role played by me, so that's not even required

2. This is a god RP, but don't god-mod

3. I expect quality posting, posts at least a paragraph long

4. You can have abstract domains, but do be warned that will be more difficult getting bonuses to rolls,
