-- --- ----/|\

The Realms:
Amdramox the Creator: PL25/3000pp.
Amdramox the Creator is the first Old God; it was He who brought the Oldworld of Creation up out of chaos. He is the matter-transmuter, and is a planetary-scale brick. Furthermore, Amdramox the Creator is worshipped in every Realm of the multiverse, and is the only Old God to be so.

For a long time, in the Oldworld of Creation, Amdramox the Creator was dead, slain by some unknown hand. But, in his quest for omnipotence, Idrifaulo liberated a mad clone of Amdramox, and made it into the genuine Amdramox. For a time, the two worked together; Amdramox was eventually, however, dethroned by Idrifaulo the Omnipotent. He now lives in exile in the deepest reaches of the Planar Abyss.

Angels:
Ghosts are sometimes chosen to serve a god directly, and're transformed into angels. Winged immortal humanoids, angels are magically adept and wield astonishingly potent weaponry.

Aspects:
Each New God has a different body ('aspect') for each non-divine race. The Old Gods do not do this, and They consider it 'ungodly'.

Ghosts:
The souls of the dead. Most ghosts dwell in the gloomy Planar Abyss, a chilled netherworld divided into seven segments throughout the Realms of Idrifaulo. A lucky few ghosts, however, are called by the gods to service and're thenceforth transformed into angels.

Gods:
The immortal rulers of the Realms of Idrifaulo, as well as the objects of religious veneration, gods are divided into two pantheons (the New Gods [who are descendants of Idrifaulo the Omnipotent] and the Old Gods [who predate Idrifaulo]), though these two pantheons are no longer at war and exist in uneasy equilibrium.
Gods are immensely powerful, with titanic amounts of magic at Their disposal, eternal youth and an utter immunity to death in all its forms. Strangely, only a very few gods are actually sorcerers!
Gods do not need worship; however, prayer is gathered by the seven Idrifaulin Engines is used thereby to create and maintain the Songlines connecting Realm to Realm to Realm. Furthermore, prayer acts as a source of creative power, allowing gods to forge weapons and armor of epic proportions.

Humans:
Us! Idrifaulo himself was human, pre-apotheosis!

Idrifaulin Engines:
Seven in number, the Idrifaulin Engines are the hearts around which each Realm formed. Songlines are tied to each Engine; each Engine runs on prayers directed to any god (not just Idrifaulo the Omnipotent).
In addition, Idrifaulo may periodically recharge his mammoth occult energies by 'tapping' all 7 Engines. Each Engine is protected by an avatar of Idrifaulo (PL20/611pp) as well as a single Ragnarok Beast kaiju (PL20/600pp).

Idrifaulo the Omnipotent: PLX/Xpp.
Idrifaulo the Omnipotent is a human wizard of such power that He ascended to omnipotence (albeit with the help of the Idrifaulin Engines!) and re-ordered Creation into the 7 Realms ('worlds') of Idrifaulo: high fantasy settings connected by prayer-generated Songlines that lead from Realm to Realm.
Idrifaulo the Omnipotent is worshipped in every Realm, as a god of existence, itself. He is the only New God to be so.
Idrifaulo's human aspect is Ibis the Learned. Idrifaulo, as Ibis, is worshipped as the god of learning.
Idrifaulo's minotaur aspect is Gonnut the Maulbearer. As Gonnut, Idrifaulo has the head of a skeletal buffalo. Idrifaulo, as Gonnut, is worshipped as the god of strength.
Idrifaulo's sidhe aspect is Au the Cipher. Idrifaulo, as Au, is worshipped as the god of magic.
Idrifaulo's Stoneblessed aspect is Joar the Sunbearer. Idrifaulo, as Joar, is worshipped as the god of architecture.
Idrifaulo inhabits the very highest point in the Planar Apex---Aedenic Gardenholme---that is simultaneously over every Realm all at once. Sometimes considered being parallel to the multiverse as a whole, Aedenic Gardenholme is full of many strange creatures and relics of The Before, saved by the great act of magic by the leaf folk of the Realm of Forests.
The gods are divided into the Old Gods (who predate Idrifaulo's ascension), and the New Gods (the offspring of Idrifaulo, after his ascension).
Stats for Idrifaulo the Omnipotent are pointless and unnecessary --- therefore, none are given!

Lost Gods:
Not every god survived Idrifaulo's destruction and resurrection and reconfiguration of the multiverse: these 'Lost Gods' are still worshipped, but even their cultists admit they are dead and and cannot answer ANY prayers.

Magic:
The physics-defying occult energies of the Realms, accessible by way of rite or ritual. Each Realm has its own unique magics that originated there and are mastered only by natives of said Realm.
The Idrifaulin Engines and their attendant Songlines are the GREATEST magics EVER performed!

The Making:
The Making was the Oldrealm of Creation's first day; in the Making, Amdramox the Creator reached into chaos and pulled up existence, which He then divided up among His mates and His offspring.

Minotaurs:
Minotaurs are giants with the heads of animals ---not just cattle--- and are stupid and lumpen. Though immensely strong, Minotaurs are inept both magically and technologically.
Minotaurs vary greatly from Realm to Realm.

The New Gods:
Either sired by Idrifaulo or else created by him post-apotheosis, the New Gods currently rule the multiverse. Though exceptions exist, the New Gods are divided into Realm-based quasi-pantheons. However, all these quasi-pantheons pay homage to Idrifaulo the Omnipotent!
Each New God has four Aspects.

The Newworlds of the Realms:
The Newworlds of the Realms is the current configuration of the multiverse, as reshaped by Idrifaulo the Omnipotent.
Placeholder.

The Old Gods:
The Old Gods ruled in The Before and're all substantially older than usurper Idrifaulo the Omnipotent. The Old Gods governed the Oldworld of Creation.
The Old Gods have no Aspects!

The Oldworld of Creation:
The Oldworld of Creation is the original configuration of the multiverse, as created by Amdramox the Creator. Ordered by Holy Letters that bound reality in place and protected from The Madness, the Oldworld of Creation was strange and alien. Men wielded the power of the gods and monsters reigned as kings.
Placeholder.

The Planar Abyss:
The Planar Abyss is basically Hell; home of most of the Old Gods and a few New Gods. The Planar Abyss lies beneath all Realms, but varies in nature from Realm-to-Realm.

The Planar Apex:
The Planar Apex is basically Heaven; home of most of the New Gods and a few Old Gods. The Planar Apex is literally above the Realms of Idrifaulo, but it’s exact nature varies from Realm-to-Realm.

Pooka:
Completely corporeal faerie 'steeds', pooka are humanoid, NOT centauroid---meaning, pooka have the bodies of giants and the heads of horses. Faerie 'royalty', pooka are tremendously powerful. Pooka are harsh rulers, finding power by drawing on excess magic from earth, sea and sky, and the turning of the seasons.
Magically, the pooka are unmatched among faeries, wielding sorcery with archmastery. They are also immensely physically powerful, with immense brute strength and skin strong enough to shatter spears and break swords.
Irregardless of Realm, pooka worship a Lost God named Uruthmem, a female god of illusion and trickery.

Psionics:
Also known as the Inner Path for the Wise, psionics is an energy-field, usable by all psychics and a small number of spellcasters, that permits thought to overwrite reality, albeit in very linear fashion.

The sidhe:
Beautiful immortals, sidhe vary greatly from Realm to Realm. The sidhe are extremely proficient with magic, but are technologically backwards.

Songlines:
Musical 'bridges' connecting Idrifaulin Engine to Idrifaulin Engine, helping to maintain the space/time continuum of the Realms of Idrifaulo. Most non-spellcasting mortals are unaware Songlines even exist.

Spirits:
Spirits are partially corporeal faerie entities, faerie nobles, created by the Old Gods, who are irrevocably tied to the ecosystem. They're a faerie Kindred. When Idrifaulo transformed the Oldworld into the Newworld, spirits were changed and hyperspecialized according to what Realm they ended up in. Spirits are either Daylight Court or Nightshrouded Court.
Irregardless of Realm, spirits worship Uruthmem, a female Lost God of illusions and trickery.

The Stoneblessed:
Short, stocky and hairy, the Dtoneblessed are magically inept but technologically adept. The Stoneblessed vary greatly from Realm to Realm. However, they share some few traits in common:
The Stoneblessed are physically smaller than humans, but, on average, weigh considerably more. They average four foot tall, but have slabs of muscle than make them quite hefty, weight-wise.
The Stoneblessed are extremely skilled craftsmen. The Stoneblessed actually maintain functioning machines of the Oldworld of Creation, and even know how to properly activate and utilize a few of them.

Wisps:
Wisps are purely incorporeal faerie entities, faerie commoners, and are considerably weaker than spirits! Wisps are a faerie Kindred. Wisps are either Daylight Court or Nightshrouded Court.

Whenever he returns to the Realm of Apocalypse, the Builder has many strange stories to tell.
In the Oldworld of Creation, the Builder was known as Oume the Ascetic. He still weeps for the loss of his starry children, destroyed by Idrifaulo in the epic Spells Confrontation at the activation of the Ifrifaulin Engines.

[The New Gods]Idrifaulo the Omnipotent!

Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2016 12:54 am
by Hoid
Idrifaulo the Omnipotent: the Most High.
Idrifaulo the Omnipotent is the greatest god in the Realms of Idrifaulo, and is worshipped by essentially EVERYONE.
Placeholder.

Idrifaulo's Origin: how He came to be.
Once, Idrifaulo was 'just' a human archwizard...but, by creating the seven Idrifaulin Engines Idrifaulo was able to ascend to genuine omnipotence.

Identifying Idrifaulo's place of origin, ethnicity and even the languages he spoke isn't possible, as the creation of the Realms of Idrifaulo obliterated everything that came before, replacing it with creatures, places and things more to Idrifaulo's liking.

The Old Gods are the only surviving relics of the Oldworld of Creation, and the tales they tell of The Before are...confusing, to say the least: they mention mortals mightier than any god, colorfully garish ritual costumes, and an obsession with hiding a hero's name behind a pseudonym.
Placeholder.

Idrifaulo's Greatest Spell: the single act for which He is best remembered.
Idrifaulo destroyed and then recreated the entire multiverse, an act of magic that has never been matched since!
Placeholder.

The Idrifaulin Engines: His greatest magitechnological creations.
Created using both magic and now-long-vanished sciences, the Idrifaulin Engines---of which 7 exist!---are the keys with which Idrifaulo seized omnipotence. Without all 7 Engines, Idrifaulo's energies would diminish to nothing, and His many enemies would find Him, torment Him, and then kill Him!
Placeholder.

Idrifaulo's Powers; the powers of the Most High.
Idrifaulo is omnipotent and is thus beyond the need for gaming stats. Anything He desires, Idrifaulo may accomplish with utter ease. Even Idrifaulo's magestaff and mage-ring are but props to enhance His powers---nothing more. (That both the staff and ring were once powerful magical Devices is now irrelevant.)
Placeholder.

Idrifaulo's Achilles Heel: even He has weaknesses.
Idrifaulo NEEDS the Idrifaulin Engines to maintain His omnipotence. You see, every so often, Idrifaulo's immense energies fade, and must be recharged by a series of 7 magical rites, performed at each Realm's Idrifaulin Engine (the order the rites are performed in is irrelevant).
Placeholder.

[Mortals]The four races, in detail!

Posted: Sat Dec 10, 2016 12:55 am
by Hoid
Humans:
Humans are the Children of Idrifaulo, who was once human, Himself. For this reason and this reason alone do humans dominate the Realms, as He still greatly favors His original people.
Placeholder.

Apocalyptic humans: 'survivors'.
When they travel beyond their habpalaces, Apocalyptic humans wear heavy suits of pseudo-armor, created in The Before, that are bright yellow in color and only protect against radiation. The mystic word ‘HAZMAT’ is printed on each such suit.
Placeholder.

Apocalyptic human gods: human gods unique to this Realm.

Apocalyptic human magics: radiomancy.
Radiomancy is control over the strange deadly 'heat' known as 'radioactivity'. Radiomancy is purely destructive, but can also cause massive degenerative mutations.
Casting radiomancy requires a rare magical metal that casts forth radiation merely existing, but encapsulated inside a sphere made of lead and every inch of which is etched with sorcerous runes—-allowing the radiomancer to control the deadly energies inside.
Only Apocalyptic humans can fully master radiomancy.
Placeholder.

Deepsea humans: 'merfolk'.
Placeholder.

Deepsea human gods: human gods unique to this Realm.

Deepsea human magics: weather-control.
Control over the weather is vital to Deepsea humans. This is accomplished by ritually destroying the viscera of sea life by burning it in a bronze cauldron—-as such, weather-control must be cast above-water and in conditions that permit the creation of flame.
Only Deepsea humans can fully master weather-control.
Placeholder.

Forested humans: 'tribals'.
Placeholder.

Forested human magics: druidry.
Druids may utilize magic to control plants and animals. Druidry requires the wearing of animal bones as ritual cerements, each bone of which must be etched completely with runes of power. Without these cerements, druidry simply isn’t possible. Druidry also involves the invocation of various gods.
Only Forested humans can Mastery druidry.
Placeholder.

Hiveling humans: 'colonists'.
Placeholder.

Hiveling human magics: insectamancy.
Placeholder.

Spiritual humans: 'ascetics.
Placeholder.

Spiritual human magics: shamanism.
The conjuration, banishment and placation of spirits is the domain of shamanism.
Only Spiritual humans can master shamanism.
Placeholder.

-

Minotaurs:
Minotaurs are the Children of the Earth. Minotaurs were created by Idrifaulo and did not actually exist in the Oldworld of Creation.
Placeholder.

Apocalyptic minotaurs: 'brutes'.
Boiled and steaming-hot, Apocalyptic Minotaurs wear layer after layer after layer after layer of thick hides, in the vain attempt to keep out the killing radiation. This effort is doomed to failure, and thus Apicalyptic Minotaurs universally suffer hideous mutations and vicious deformities.
Placeholder.

Deepsea minotaurs: 'seawolves'.
Placeholder.

Forested minotaurs: 'greathorns'.
Placeholder.

Hiveling minotaurs: 'mantids'.
Placeholder.

Spiritual minotaurs: 'shamanics'.
Placeholder.

-

Sidhe:
Sidhe are the Children of Magic. Amdramox the Creator personally fashioned the very first sidhe, in The Before.
Placeholder.

Apocalyptic sidhe: 'the cursed'.
Still quite beautiful, Apocalyptic sidhe bother with no suits to protect themselves, instead wearing magical paint over their scantily-clad bodies that protects against radiation better than any measures the others take in this same regard.
Placeholder.

Forested sidhe: 'elves'.
Placeholder.

Hiveling sidhe: 'genius loci'.
Placeholder.

Spiritual sidhe: 'horned ones'
Placeholder.

-

Stoneblessed:
Stoneblessed are the Children of Mechanisms. Stoneblessed were once lords of infinity in The Before, but Idrifaulo's ascension cost them nigh everything.
Placeholder.

Apocalyptic Stoneblessed: techgrubs.
Apocalyptic Stoneblessed wear suits of articulated stone as protection from radioactivity. It is 9nly partially successful, and so, over time, Apocalyptic Stoneblessed become covered in sores and die well before their time.
Placeholder.

Forested Stoneblessed: gnomes.
Placeholder.

Hiveling Stoneblessed: spellgrubs.
Placeholder.

Spiritual Stoneblessed: monastics.
Placeholder.

Placeholder.

[Mortals]The Lost Tribes!

Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2016 4:52 pm
by Hoid
Humans, minotaurs, sidhe and Stoneblessed are far from the only races in the Realms of Idrifaulo, but they do have the distinction of being the only races multiversal in scope. All other races ('the Lost Tribes') are each unique to a single highly specific Realm.

Each Realm has six Lost Tribes:

The Lost Tribes of Apocalypse:
Boil behemoths:
Hulking humanoids, covered in mutations, sores and additional limbs, boil behemoths are born human, but are infected upon adolescence with a 'boil'---a titanspawn-creature that both boosts AND damns the human it bonds with. Once bonded, boil and human can never be separated.
Despite their vast strength, boil behemoths are very sorcerously adept---many have miniature boil behemoth 'impfamiliars’. These impfamiliars are very simple-minded and seem to regard themselves as avatars of their boil behemoth masters, a claim they continually make despite all evidence to the contrary!
Boil behemoths worship the Lost God Urth-EL, a genderless god of apocalyptic destruction and overwhelming force. Ruth-EL once had a living avatar (remembered in myths as ‘the Horror’), but Idrifaulo skew it in His ascent to supreme magic power.
Placeholder.

Gargoyles:
Humanoid, winged and horned, gargoyles burn with a literal inner heat. In The Before, this inner fire was cataclysmic in scope, able to set whole forests ablaze, in the Newworlds gargoyles burn MUCH lower and MUCH dimmer.
Gargoyles once worshiped a Lost God named Ereth-Bhee, a contentious male god of strife and disharmony. They now worship the Somnolent Insect, viewing him as a worthy successor to Ereth-Bhee.
Placeholder.

Voiddead:
Voiddead are mummified, reptilian, blooddrinking undead antediluvian horrors, and're from the later epochs of the Oldworld of Creation. Once technologically quite gifted, Voiddead have since forgotten those arts, in favor of absolute mastery over necromancy.
Voiddead are, in some strange way, intimately connected to the Voidliving.
Placeholder.

Voidliving:
Reptiluan humanoid horrors, Voidliving were once great monarchs in the Oldworld of Creation. Once masters of unfathomable technologies, the Voidliving walked the stars as gods. But, in His anger, Idrifaulo blasted the Voidliving and stripped the, of their machinery...condemning them to a slow decline to uttermost oblivion. It has taken many millennia, but the Void.iving are now on the edge of extinction—-a gruesome fate for such a formerly mighty civilization!
Voidlivkng are, in some strange way, intimately connected to the Voiddead.
Placeholder.

-

The Lost Tribes of the Deepsea:
The haunted titans:
Once an unstoppable force of nature that nearly rent The Before to oblivion, the haunted Titans were split into much tinier pieces by Idrifaulo, during His quest for apotheosis. Drawn to areas of strong, rich magic, haunted titans seek to devour sorcery just to survive. Strangely, mundane mortals can avert the path of an encroaching haunted titan, a fact that perplexes sorcerers, and frustrates them, too...
Placeholder.

Lotus-dreamers:

-

The Lost Tribes of Forests:
Awaredreamers:
A strange race of animalistic psychics kindled to life in the dreaming minds of the insane, awaredreamers each have a Poem---a short little poem that describes that awaredreamer's purpose and place in life.

Being born of mad imaginations, awaredreamers are very physically and psychologically bizarre.
Placeholder.

Beastheaded:
Giants with the heads of animals, many erroneously believe beastheaded and minotaurs are related in some manner, but this is not the case. The two main distinctions being beastheaded live only in the Realm of Forests, and beastheaded are absurdly physically stronger than minotaurs.

Beastheaded worship a mysterious Lost God named Ertz-Duwu, a male god of beasts and the wilderness.
Placeholder.

Leaf folk:
A gentle race of tiny plant-being pacifists, leaf folk are well known for the Six Acts of Mercy the whole race performed at Idrifaulo's ascension---a massive act of magic that allowed much of The Before to survive into the Realms (albeit in much-weaker forms). This burned out the power of leaf folk to work any further miracles. To this day, however, leaf folk produce a small handful of non-reproductive seeds that hold the faintest echo of once-glorious magic.

Leaf folk honor a Lost God known as Ereth-Bhee, a contentious male god of strife and disharmony, as their perilous, untrustworthy creator; leaf folk do not actually pray to him, however!

[Monsters]The Realms' Bestiary!

Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2016 5:46 pm
by Hoid
Monsters roam each Realm: here are the most prominent---

Monsters Found in EVERY Realm:
Placeholder.

Ghosts:
Ghosts are the souls of the restless dead, unable to pass on and find rest in either the Planar Abyss or the Planar Apex. Some ghosts can linger for centuries, becoming ungodly powerful, but thankfully this is the exception rather than the rule. Most ghosts 'burn out' within a decade or so and're unable to maintain the mania that sustains them as ghosts.
Placeholder.

Liches:
Liches are undead sorcerers. Cursed and yet empowered by their foul magical rites, liches are archetypal architects of doom. Virtually unkillable, the secret of liches’ resilience is that their souls inhabit their specially constructed wizard’s towers...where liches are also at their strongest. Without the destruction of these towers and the contents within these towers, liches could easily return from even the most horrific of fates.
Placeholder.

Moonwolves:
Werewolves associated with the moon. Only humans can be moonwolves. Moonwolves are savage and primeval and're quite inept at any but the most primitive of magics...
Moonwolves worship the faded memory of the Lost God Arth-en, a male god of werewolves, the moon and the undead.
Placeholder.

Sentinels:
Part human and part mechanical golem, Sentinels have gone mad over the millennia, and seek to wipe out all magic (which they strangely refer to as ‘mutatiom’) in the multiverse! Worshipping the first of their kind---the long-dead Father-of-Iron---as a Lost God of purity and vengeance, Sentinels may be found throughout the Realms of Idrifaulo!
Placeholder.

Sunwolves:
Werewolves associated, unbelievably!, with the sun. Only humans may be sunwolves. Sunwolves are urbane and sophisticated and're quite proficient in sorcery..
Sunwolves worship the faded memory of the Lost God Arth-en, a male god of werewolves, the sun and, paradoxically enough, the undead!
Placeholder.

The Monsters of Apocalypse:
Placeholder.

Titanspawn, gigants:
Titanspawn come in two varieties, and're related by blood kinship: the gigant titanspawn of the Realm of Apocalypse and the gargant titanspawn of the Realm of Spirits!
The gargant titanspawn are non-sentient and are as vast as mountains, and they suffer: when Idrifaulo became omnipotent He split each prehistoric gargant open and gutted them like fish. Long ago, in The Before, it is said gargants ate mortals and spat them back out as monsters, but this is no longer the case. All that remains of this fearsome power are the twisted and mad boil behemoths!
Placeholder.

The Monsters of the Deepsea:
Placeholder.

Adlat's People:
Placeholder.

The Monsters of Forests:
Placeholder.

The beasts-that-run:
Though human-ish, the beasts-that-run are no more than clever animals with extraordinary adaptations. Relics of The Before, the beasts-that-run have the qualities and subtle features of various mundane animals.
The leaf folk claim the beasts-that-run are an ancient enemy...
Placeholder.

The Monsters of the Hive:
Placeholder.

The Monsters of Ice:
Placeholder.

The Monsters of Sand:
Placeholder.

The Monsters of Spirits:
Placeholder.

Ilimpyri:
A race of mad pseudo-gods, the ilimpyri---of which only 50 or so have ever existed!---were imprisoned in the Eeceezee Forest by some unknown hand. Within the Eeceezee Forest, the ilimpyri are essentially omnipotent...but they cannot leave the woods even with the help of outsiders.
Though they worship only themselves, the ilimpyri revere Ereth-Bhee, a Lost God of chaos and unrest, as their mysterious progenitor!
Placeholder.

Titanspawn, gargants:
Titanspawn come in two varieties, and're related by blood kinship: the gargant titanspan of the Realm of Spirits and the gigant titanspawn of the Realm of Apocalypse.
Gargants are humongous humanoids, lumpen and trollish, that may conjure illusions to 'sheathe' themselves in, called 'Reflections'. Once, in The Before, these Reflections were considerably more potent, but, as Idrifaulo reshaped infinity He stripped gargant-magic of most of its powers.
Gargants are hideous and depraved hedonists, and are keen to recapture old glories. They are incapable of seeing others as more than toys for their amusement, however, and thus cannot be negotiated with.
Even to this day, gargants are ruled by the Humungous Sire of their kind, a shattered wreck of an Old God, broken and crippled long ago by Idrifaulo!
Placeholder.

[Gods]Lost, New And Old

Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2016 8:44 pm
by Hoid
THE GODS: all gods.
Gods reign supreme, standing considerably taller, in the grand scheme of things, than any mortal could ever hope to become. Gods thrum with vast arcane and divine magics, and are immune to death at the hands of mortals. Gods do not need worship for any reason, but mortals believe the gods desire it, anyways. As such, religion is a powerful cultural force in the Realms of Idrifaulo!
Placeholder.

-

The Lost Gods:
Not every god in the Oldworld of Creation survived Idrifaulo's Ascension; some, the world-sized beings called the Lost Gods, were the first victims of that divine apotheosis!
Placeholder.

Art Arthe Ae:
Once the leader of the Lost Gods, Art Arthe Ae once held dominion over death and the undead. Her death was celebrated by many, who still fear the Voiddead she crafted so VERY long ago...

Arth-en:
Having been dead for countless millennia, bestial Arth-en---the Moon-and-Sun-Wolf--- was the Lost God of the moon, the sun, the undead and werewolves! Even in his death, his name instills fear in those that hear it spoken...
Placeholder.

Ereth-Bhee:
Ereth-Bhee---the Dreamer; the Father---is the mysterious long-dead Lost God of chaos and unrest.
Placeholder.

Orith'khae:
Orith'khae is a Lost God nebulously connected to Urth-EL, and is seen by minotaurs as a lesser progenitor. Orith'khae was a god of hallucinations and waking dreams---though minotaurs hold Orith'khae could once effect very real changes upon the Oldrealm of Creation DIRECTLY.

Pure Pin the Second:
Pure Pin the Second (no myth says who the First was) was the fierce Lost God of animals and warfare. Long ago, it is said Pure Pin the Second made humans the slaves of animals---until humanity rose up, stole the gift of speech and reduced all animals to mere beasts.

Urth-EL:
Urth-EL (the Ogres' Sire), now dead, was once the genderless Lost God of apocalyptic destruction and overwhelming force. All forms of titanspawn, in both the Realm of Apocalypse and the Realm of Spirits, honor Urth-EL as their chthonic creator-deity...
Placeholder.

-

The New Gods:
The New Gods came into being after Idrifaulo reorganized infinity. Many are His deific offspring, while others were mortals rewarded with godhood, for supporting Idrifaulo before He attained omnipotence.
Placeholder.

Giant Johann:
Once a mortal leaf folk holy man in The Before, Giant Johann (PL10/150pp) is now the god of trees and undergrowth, in the Realm of Forests! Claiming to still revere an even older Lost God who martyred himself for the betterment of all, Giant Johann is still somewhat leery of being worshipped.
Placeholder.

Idrifaulo the Omnipotent:
The New God; see, elsewhere.


The Oneiric Insect:
One of the few Old Gods to eagerly support Idrifaulo's apotheosis, the Oneiric Insect is counted among the New Gods and is worshipped throughout three Realms: the Realm of the Apocalypse, the Realm of Forests and the Realm of Sand.
2nd only to Idrifaulo in might, the Oneiric Insect is, himself, served by the Sickly Dog, a deformed god of canines and disease. The Sickly Dog has served the Oneiric Insect for millennia, and the two are as close as brothers.
Placeholder.
-

The Old Gods:
Sire:
Sire is the broken and enfeebled Old God of minotaurs of all Realms, as well as the titanspawn of both the Realm of Apocalypse and the Realm of Spirits.

Much of Sire's remaining power comes from his Books of Somnolence, great, shattered stone tablets embedded into his ruined hide like artificial tumors.
Placeholder.

[Magic]Arcane and divine magic!

Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2016 12:41 am
by Hoid
Arcane Magic: the runes and their uses.
Runes are the language of the gods, the language of magic, and, by speaking the runes, reality may be changed in extremely specific ways. Each magical effect requires different runes spoken in different combinations.

Of course, using arcane magic is a much harder endeavor than just speaking a few gibberish-sounding words. Training to tap the runes takes years, and often involves grueling ceremonial ordeals to 'open the mind up' to the runes.
Placeholder.

Divine Magic: mana and its uses.
'Divine magic' is an inaccurate descriptor of mana-magics, as this field of magic draws upon genuine belief in a god or gods, rather than actually drawing power from the god or gods in question. In other words, it is religious belief itself that powers divine magic, rather than the gods, themselves! In this way do the priests of the Lost Gods still minister to their peoples.
Placeholder.

Psychic Magic: the mind, unleashed; the imagination, empowered.
Psychic magic---the power of thought to alter physical reality---is rare, misunderstood and, sadly, often persecuted.
Placeholder.

The faithful remnants:
The faithful remnants are a religious tradition that calls upon the Lost Gods.
Placeholder.

The living faiths:
The living faiths are a religious tradition that calls upon the New Gods.
Worship of Idrifaulo is a living faith.
Placeholder.

Mana:
Prayer---especially organized prayer!---generates a magical energy called 'mana'. Unconnected to the runes, mana may be tapped by holy people to effect a great number of magical spells/powers.
Though rare, it is possible to use both mana and the runes!
Placeholder.

The Man Who Died:
Oldest religion still practiced in the Realms of Idrifaulo, the Man Who Died was either a god or a son of a god (stories depending on sect) who died to expunge the collective sins of all mortal beings. Dying a horrible death, the Man Who Died later reappeared to his dispirited followers and gave them new hope.

The osseus faiths:
The osseus faiths are a religious tradition that calls upon the Old Gods.
Worship of Amdramox is an osseus faith.
Placeholder.

[Multiverse-wide]The Iron Makers Colonization Fleet!

Posted: Tue May 02, 2017 1:56 am
by Hoid
The Realms of Idrifaulo face a threat few even know exists: the strange, ever-silent and unknowable knights of the Iron Makers Colonization Fleet! Sailing in towards stable reality from an inchoate land of ever-shifting mists and illusions, these nightmarish warriors say nothing---they just show up and kill. They take no land, capture no slaves, and steal no riches. Their motivations are as mysterious as they are deadly.

No one is sure what these knights even are!, as they never take off their armor and crumble to dust upon death. They don't bleed and feel no pain. However, lightning arcs from these wounds, leading many to believe the Iron Makers have barely tamed storms for hearts...

To date, no one has survived the Iron Makers' wholesale butchery, so, for now, the Realms of Idrifaulo remain ignorant of the enigmatic warriors/riddles that pose to wipe them all out!

Leading the Iron Makers into battle are three nameless knights we, out-of-character, shall dub 'Gold', 'Red' and 'White', due to the color of their armors.

Gold (PL12/220pp; sword-wielding brick) is a giant wearing perhaps THE most fiscally valuable armor in the multiverse. Made of enchanted gold, traced with sorcerously-decanted silver and studded with a cascade of gems, rubies and other precious stones, this armor alone could buy a man a kingdom.

Red (PL15/260pp; spear-wielding superspeedster) is a being that can move faster than the wind and knock down a hundred men in but an instant.

And White (PL17/330pp; quasi-omnipotent sorcerer-knight) is the most elegant of the three, wearing armor made of an ivory-like substance harder than steel; each inch of the armor is covered in spells, which White may cast at whim.

Did some small additions here and there, but, it’ll be a while before I turn to the Realms for Idrifaulo with any true impetus. Right now, the Forever Tree will take the lion’s share of my time.
