The Dharvian Empire struck Tenas, the elven god of war, from the pantheon and have claimed his worship a heresy and a crime against all living things. Angered by this, the god commanded the elven nation of Menas to fight the humans in his name. Thirty long years of war ensued, claiming thousands of lives and debilitating both nations. The humans, however, were able to eke out a victory by forcing the elves to sign a treaty with the stipulation that the worship of Tenas be banned. This was known as the Farriday Treaty, having been signed in the citadel of the now-ruined city that sits on the border of both nations.

Within a year of signing the Treaty, Tenas flung himself into the heart of the Dharvian Empire and destroyed the capitol city of Lenerose.

Tenas has now taken the Grand Citadel as his home, sending out legions of armies against the living. Many cry out to the other gods to protect them against Tenas' madness, but their prayers have remained unanswered. The world is on the brink of destruction, the planet moments from cracking like an egg.

The gods have promised not to interfere in the mortal plane, and thus have chosen a number of heroes to act in their place. Heroes they will imbue with power to put an end to the mad god before he destroys the world.

@Torack

Any room for one more?

@rush99999 Jump on in!

@rocketrobie2 Character looks solid!

When you're ready, add him to the Characters tab with a visual reference and a small backstory!

Sheets - Mythweavers, Ghseet, or DnDBeyond

Would you also be willing to allow DiceCloud?

@rush99999 If you wanna use it, go for it!

If we're making a go at a character who has a diety or patron, do you have pantheon or something in mind for this setting? Or should we just go with whatever?

@Bartimaeus Updated OP with a pantheon

Awesome, thank you! ^^

The Dharvian Empire struck Tenas, the elven god of war, from the pantheon and have claimed his worship a heresy and a crime against all living things.

Out of curiosity, is the Dharvian Empire's reason for doing this known to the world at large or has it been kept secret?

Alrighty, here's da boi! I don't think I'm missing anything but if it seems I am, or if I somehow made an incorrect assumption about Gorius, let me know!
(DnD CS is linked to his name-text)

if I somehow made an incorrect assumption about Godius, let me know!

It's not Godius, it's Gorius.

<Snipped quote by Bartimaeus>

It's not Godius, it's Gorius.

Nah nah, it's all good! I wrote it both ways by accident. But yes, its meant to be Gorius, the Godius a typo, my bad

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah I was confused on which was correct so I just picked one, lol.

Ysmengarde 'Skadi'
_________________________________________________________



She was still young when her future was determined for her. Skadi was not particularly clever nor particularly better than her fellow Aasimar, but from some of the earliest memories of her youth her grandmother told her that she was ‘chosen’.
She was chosen for the pact of the Mistborn. A pact of Water & Sky.
What exactly that entailed Skadi did not know, but the consequences of this particular honour became all too clear.
There would be no frolicking with boys, at all times was she to be chaperoned and where others were given the chance to play she was prepared for the journey to come.
Her Grandmother told her that she had to remain chaste, unsullied. For she was already promised to another.
Who this other was, the old lady refused to tell. She only stated that he would send them an engagement gift if the pact was to continue and that she was to receive this as a first bridal gift and in return they would have to send something similar back.
She still had mixed feelings when her grandmother cut off one of her prettiest locks of hair.
The gift she had received it been a curious thing though. A necklace carrying an orb filled with strange water. It glowed a strange blue when the light hit it just right.
Thus she spend her days preparing and wondering about this mysterious husband to be.
The day she turned 21 was the day she left all she had known behind with only a riddle as guidance.
“He’ll meet you at the line where the snow’s melt roars.”
Thus she descended the mountain, leaving her family and friends behind to be wed off to some stranger. Regardless of how she felt about it, she knew this alliance was an important thing to accomplish, for both parties involved.
It was therefore all the more peculiar when after a month of lingering at the pool at the base of the Mountain, he still had not shown himself.
He was supposed to meet her as he would be able to recognise her through her bridal gift.
Yet days passed and nothing happened.
Skadi kept herself alive by her hunting skills, but when after 3 weeks there still had been no sign of him, she decided to go and try to find him instead.
She thought it unfathomable that he would first agree upon the pact, but then later not show up. So something must have happened to prevent him from coming to her.
That or she just got spurned by a complete stranger.
Either way she was owed an explanation.
And so she set out in search for answers.

Here is mine, though don't mind the ears, she's supposed to be an aasimar not an elf.

It's not fully known outside of those with connections, but there are a lot of conspiracies. One of those conspiracies states that various elven nations were beginning to rival human nations, and striking out a war god would preemptively diminish an elven threat.

Another states that humans believe the elven war god to be an abomination and striking him out was motivated by "xenophobic tendencies" of the human ruling class.

And so on, and so on.

Unless your character already has strong connections within the Empire, they would only really know about the numerous conspiracies. If they do, feel free to PM me and I'll let you know

Kindroth was born to a family of powerful wizards and nobles, owning an expansive yet quaint plot of land for generations. While their employees worked the land, the Jozana family would practice their magics and enjoy the decadence of the status. A small twang in the prestigious house's status came with the birth of Kindroth who didn't take to magic as well as his parents or siblings.

Kindroth did the bare minimum amount of magic practice to appease his family but his heart was devoted to the art of martial combat. In his free time he would train with the land's guards and keeping them company on their shifts, pretending to be helping to keep watch. To Kindroth's parents credit, they eventually stopped trying to force their traditions on him. This lack of pressure let Kindroth find his own route through magic, learning a couple of parlour trick spells but more importantly pursuing magic means of enhancing his combat training.

Things were good for Kindroth until some societal pressure began to be exerted on his family. Kindroth not fitting the mold was a blemish on his family's name, one of which Kindroth was becoming more and more aware of until finally deciding to do something about it. Coming to his parents with the idea, Kindroth proposed the idea of a self-imposed exile; letting the sheltered elf test his mettle, see the world and hopefully bring honour to his family's name in his own way. His parents and siblings were all worried about their youngest sibling but relented, giving Kindroth their blessing.

Now Kindroth travels the land, looking for a means to leave his mark on history and bring honour back to his family's name.
