History:
Long ago, when the universe was still young (relatively at least), there was a pantheon of gods who watched over Valkath. Back then, the people were quite pious, and they worshiped the gods with great zeal. However, the followers of two gods whose names have been stricken from history forever, were the most pious of all. Their patron deities were quite pleased with them, so they each bequeathed a token of their power unto their followers. The first set of believers were granted great power over the world they lived in. This power would later be called "MAGIC". The other set of followers were granted a different sort of power. They were granted "KNOWLEDGE". Both sets of followers were quite happy with their new gifts, and so too were their gods, for they received even more worship from them. However, this happiness was not to last, for one night, the two gods got incredibly drunk. One of them insinuated that the other god had been stingy and gave his followers a terrible gift. This enraged the other god. They argued and argued over whose gift was better, for a great many years. Eventually, their followers joined in, determined to prove the great benevolence of their god. Those with magic developed more and more powerful spells, each more terrifying than the last. The followers of Knowledge learned how to transmit information and ideas at near instantaneous speeds over great distances, and with that knowledge, they developed more and more terrifying technologies to combat their magic wielding foes. As the war between the followers escalated, the gods got even angrier with one another, and they too joined in the fight. Feeding off of each other, this war eventually reached a point where the world that had been so peaceful was left little more than a destroyed ruin. The people realized that the war was caused by the very gods they once revered as perfect, and soon lost their faith. The worship of those gods was banned, and with it, the power of those gods was diminished till they no longer existed. The remaining pantheon, alarmed at this turn of events, rebuilt Valkath as best they could, but with two gods missing, they could only partially re-create their world. Incomplete as it was, the world started to slowly die, unable to sustain itself. Then, one of the goddesses had a terrific idea. In order to truly survive, the world and its inhabitants would one day need to be independent of the gods, like a child eventually outgrows its parents. She and the rest of the pantheon decided that they would place a system within the world in which its inhabitants could one day finish rejuvenating the world, and become independent of the gods who had created them. Only by doing so would the world, and its inhabitants, ever survive. To this day, legends speak of a group of heroes who will emerge to restore the world and begin a new chapter in this worlds history. Countless adventurers have ventured into the ruins left behind by the great war, seeking to unlock their untold secrets, in the hopes of becoming one of the heroes of legend.
