Ok, I hope this time I''ve managed to make it not too broad. I've just covered how the old gods were forgotten and they became beasts at the eyes of the races that populated the world.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Did Ae ever have a child? I think it's just the two gods right now.

Uhh... why not just write it in English? Sounds like a lot of extra work when your English is, as far as I can tell, perfectly fine.

I'm curious about this, too.

[Rhyme]

I supposed that at some point someone would add more events about the birth of new gods during the first Period.

And about translating, it's just something I do when I have to write descriptions or stories. Let's just say that I'm a bit weird sometimes 

[Digital Hellhound]

The Torchbearer, the god who guarded the sun, was Ae's son. I think we can assume all of them had plenty of kids unless someone states somewhere that they didn't.

Hmm, hmm. Oblivion. I shall have to think about this.

Fair enough.

The Torchbearer, the god who guarded the sun, was Ae's son.

I don't remember him.

Event: The Dying of the Light [End of the 1st/Primordial Period]

And so it came to pass the radiant sun, the Light of the Gods, would fall and plunge the world into an era of darkness and fear.

So the Light rose for many years, bathing the land in warmth and prosperity. From the depths of the world the Old Gods watched the ascent, pleased. But in the deep, where the godspawn knew only darkness, envy began to cloud the minds of their children. The guarding of the Light had been entrusted to Atamne, the Torchbearer, son of Ae. While he stood guard high over the world, the Light was safe.

But Atamne was weak of heart, and at night dark gods spawned by the magics of Io came up to him, beckoning him to join their feasts in the heart of the world. For days Atamne resisted, holding to his duty, but temptation triumphs with both men and gods. Atamne followed the dark gods to the depths, where they battled and overcame him, binding him to the abyss with fire and ice so he could not call for aid. Then, as one, they emerged onto the world above and rode out to claim the Light for their own.

But Ae had bound the sun with his will and it could not be moved from its path. In their rage, the young gods rose to strike it, again and again, until the Light shattered, raining in a thousand pieces upon the world and bringing destruction and fire to the land and the mortal races. The Old Gods awoke to the world plunging in darkness. Their vengeance would be terrifying to behold - a war of the gods was about to begin...

The Torchbearer is somewhere there.

Next time, you can look freely for what you can't remember. There's a tiny amount of events so far so you'd have found it within minutes. Just for future reference, so we can eliminate ignorance and laziness together!

Laziness is the mother of all sins. And as mother, it should be respected.

But seriously, we don't have a lot of events, so please, look for the things you don't remember, it's not that difficult yet.

I wonder if the placement of some Periods could be tweaked. It seems to me that the Age of Strife should either come after the Age of Destruction (which is supposed to start right after the Dying of the Light) or be part of the Primordial Age (if I understand the description right). Unless it's some kind of specific exodus in the opening years of the Age of Destruction. I dunno. Does 'children of the gods' refer to mortal races or... the children of the gods?

You might be right. If it is what I think it is (the new gods discovering they've started a cycle of young gods killing old gods) then it should come after the Age of Destruction.

[Kashyyk]

I was planning on it the age of strife being rather short, with it covering the arms race build-up of the gods. And "children of the Gods" was supposed to be ambiguous and refer to both the young gods and the new races.

[Digital Hellhound]

Alright, posted. I hope you see the Oblivion here.

@Kashyyk: Ah, that makes sense. But the world would still be covered in darkness and blown to hell, unless those pieces of the sun were really slow to fall (which would be pretty cool - obvious doomsday meteors falling from the sky, but the mortals couldn't do anything about them).

[Rhyme]

I think the new gods' first job is going to be fixing the sun XD

[Kashyyk]

I'm hoping that turns out to be a flash of inspiration, rather than suck. Thoughts?

[Rhyme]

I think lots of people have already died during the Primordial Age (GWG killed some with the creation of a god, and there almost was a war between the sidhe and the humans and orcs), so maybe their the first to die in war. (About Child of Armok's post). And it seems now we have no suns, but falling miniature suns. Looks cool. Dangerous to those in the world, but cool.
