De Aetaes Insanis

 

Aetaes Primae

In the beginning there was nothing; before the beginning there was an end and that end was Chaos.

The Chaos was immense, and the monsters that made up Chaos were in constant struggle for dominance. Of which, creatures of unfathomable machinations were thought up and discarded by those Primordials that could overcome Chaos. All beings made of Flesh and Light would conquer each other, their flesh and source upon life would be the reward. At the time of beginning the monsters had been quelled by the greatest among them, their beings being made of pure light.

Ascending from Chaos the first of the Old Gods, Draegivs would seize power. As the other Primordials flew high with their light, Draegivs craved the reward of flesh; his consumption made him a being of massive proportions. 

Draegivs consumed the Chaos and splitted it up. Chaos was divided into nine parts; seven skies and two planes. Upon dividing the skies from the planes the pressure in between would birth Ovaelia who birthed the other Old Gods and became Draegivs’ wife.

The Old Gods birthed from Ovaelia would be Oraevs who commanded the winds, Ovaenia who demanded brutality and insanity, Maechnia whom commanded flame, and Vaegaeus who controlled knowledge from the others.

Draegivs would fill the planes with flora and fauna and he did it all in an instant for he had seized time itself. From the mud, Draegivs would create Man and give him the bounty of the world; in a land known as Aegia Their name being Orenivs as well as a wife known as Ivlia.

The Other Old Gods Jealous of Draegivs’ divine creation of Mortality would seek to make versions of man themselves;

  Maechnia, proud of his flame and the iron it wrought would produce a Man known as Pvmillivs.

Ovaenia, commanded bloodshed so produced a Warrior known as Crvgivs.

Vaegaeus, wanting his knowledge stored by Mortals, produced a man known as Avritvs.

As there was peace in Aegia between the four Mortal Brothers; Vaegaeus begot quintuplets with Ovaelia of which Draegivs could not know; Upon their birth they were sent to live alone on an island off the coast of Aegia. The quintuplets would be Ivlioia, Belldevm, Ilia and Marevs. There they lived for half a generation before they returned to Draegivs. 

Draegivs unhappy with Ovaelia’s unfaithfulness would purge his wife’s light upon life. Sending her flesh hurdling into the sea. Ivlioia would seize the keys to the ports of life and lock Draegivs away into the void; where time would remain stationary.

Upon the imprisonment of Draegivs; Tyranny beset the remaining Old Gods. with which they created a being of pure malignancy which Vaegaeus advised against, they were known as Malignivs and were as dark as the Primordials were light. Ivlioia upon realizing the Old God’s Treachery trapped each Old God in their own Prison.

The remaining Gods would delegate the responsibilities of the Old Gods amongst themselves whilst Malignivs cloaked themselves among the descendants.

Ivlioia; would take up the act of protecting the gateways between realms, which includes the planes, the void and the seven skies.

Belldevm would take up the act of war, protecting the seven skies and guiding the descendants on conquest.

Marevs would take up the circle of rebirth on the planes; controlling the vast seas dictating the wind, the rain and the harvest.

Ilia would beseech themselves the act of protecting the knowledge of man and the immortal gods; their devotion to woman would be greatest of all.

Aetaes Lapsae

Once beginning had subsided and the Old God’s treachery was dealt with, an age of fallen virtue had befallen upon the descendants of the planes. For each group of the Old God’s creation sought their own tribes and fought their own wars. 

Malignivs would tempt their deception to the tribes of each descendant; promising power to Crgnivs and Orenivs, knowledge to Avritvs and Wealth to Pvmillivs.

Succumbing to lies wrought sickness between the descendants. The powers of the Old Gods flowing through them in wicked ways; unable to secure themselves, Belldevm would descend to the Plane in order to guide the descendents. He told them their swords would be drawn and time would be sought in effects for the Vile beings of the night. That curses have been brought to the lands with corruption and wickedness. 

Malignivs cloaked in the night would approach Belldevm with contempt in his voice; he would screech out

That his word was law and that if there may be those who worship Wealth there be those who worship Malignivs.

For he was Greed itself; the Abuse of Power, and Knowledge was his; the treachery within gave him his power.

Crgnivs was the first to fight against the curse of Malignivs. Eyes glowing from a wicked black and purple back to that of red and rage.

Next was Orenivs who’s eyes glowed yellow then to a deep blue of purity

Third, was Avritvs who’s eyes varied back and forth setting on a gray color signifying his infertility.

Last, was Pvmillivs who’s eyes glowed black then yellow then to a dark orange signifying their immense greed.

The Wavering loyalties of the Patriarchs led Malignivs weakened; his power still remained. He was able to fight back against Avritvs, and Pvmillivs who raised their swords against him.

Crvgnivs wrought with rage, sucker punched Malignivs in his gut; sending him flying. The corruption wielding punch would transform the skin of Crvgnivs to a dark green.

Orenivs commanded fourth by Belldevm charged with his sword piercing the skin of Malignivs

High upon the Seven Skies The gatekeeper Ivlioia watched from up high with his power so mighty.

Ivlioia would reach his mighty hands into the void pulling bonding chains from the once chaos. At once the chains pulled upward and then down, spanning the Plane crushing the continents and attaching to Malignivs. The Wealthy One’s screams of agony could be heard as he cursed the planes with suffering and illness. Death to those who besought his name Malignivs the Wealthy One, The Plague bearer; Now banished into the void.

Ivlioia would lock his being into the void, being punished the same as Draegivs.

There in the void, Malignivs with his command on Greed and Corruption held onto reigns in the Planes. Allowing those who seek his power to be corrupted the same as him; with evil striking fast into those who worship the void.

 

After the battle flew out Aemilia to symbolize the Victory of Man over Evil.

 

Orenivs who was the least corrupted by Malignivs’ power would go on to unite many of his kin into kingdoms of vast renown; bastions from Malignivs’ corruption. The Descendents of Orenivs and his tribes are to be known as Hominae or Man, taking up the mantle of Mortality.

Avritvs who was cursed with infertility, would dedicate their long life to scholarly pursuits attempting to harness the blessings of the gods even if it was for nought.

Crvgnivs blessed by his strength would be cursed with Rage, his power knowing no bounds; he would murder a great deal under his own thumb without his knowledge. He dedicated his life to controlling his rage and vanished into the seven skies upon losing his light upon life. 

Pvmillivs whilst not worshiping The Wealthy One outright was cursed with Greed and unknowingly invited the power and corruption of The Wealthy One into his kingdom.

 

Thus it is now the age of Man

Brazen did the theurge, that Philosopher Pamphilos stride! For he thoroughly read the lore of the Caelians twice over! In a conclusion draw through logic and mythic understanding, did he come to buy a pizza and share with the comrades of the lost legion!

 

"HAIL! AND HEED! For THESE! They are the PVRE MEN!"

 

He sought then, to exchange some scrolls with their fine priest!
