The universe is infinite and it belongs to the Krev are the two foundational truths that rules our lives. Everyone agrees, and everyone agrees that everyone agrees, except for heretics…
But heretics are heretics because they will not accept the truths agreed upon. Some, many, maybe most is simply due to some defect of intellectual or a rebellious instinct of a child refusing to do simply because they were ordered to it. But plenty of heretics these days follow after strange gods, for there are other beings besides the Krev who long to control the universe and seek your service to accomplish it. And there are many reasons to doubt the truth…
My heresy is that I am an Emissary privy to an inside look at the workings of the gods. And what I saw was that the Krev Empire has been waning in its power for a hundred centuries. They are no longer a unified pantheon, no longer bringing their light further into the universe. They have even abandoned the edges of their empire to fend for themselves. Well, my true heresy is that I let the gods know that I knew this, that I told the krevs I serve (served?) of this. It is a truth they are unwilling to accept. And I am not the only one to believe such heresies…
The Daughter’s of Tiamat and the Dragon-Gods of Dre’gon are part of the heresy, as they sense the weaking of the Krev. They have declared their independence from the Empire and some of them have even gone to war with the Goulden Dawn, who themselves are refusing to support the Krev in restarting a war against the Titanus Confederation. There are those among the Krev, this very day, who have left the Empire’s Pantheon, forging their own pantheons by taking direct control of systems. Some have even joined forces with celestial or abysmal forces creating such regions of space known to us as the Creeping Decay, the Deep Dark, and League of Righteousness….
Yes, there are reasons enough today to be a heretic. The universe is infinite, and it belongs to the Krev are the two fundamental truths which rules our lives. But what if they are both lies?
From the banned book: Civil War Among the Gods by Imp Nigin
The Verdea is, of course, our plane, and it is easy to believe that the other planes were created for the purpose of creating the verdea. And we are at a time that that is certainly true. It may be that the verdea was created for the purpose of creating some other plane, a universal heaven. But currently we can only see the past, so the purpose we can conclude is the present. The other planes were created so the Mestas, gods and dragons could more easily create the Verdea. Because of this, there is a tendency to see the other planes as simply relics of the past. But these elemental planes still hold the power of creation itself, and so are worthy of respect and exploration.
The Astral: this plane contains the energy of movement, and controls the passage of time. there is not a plane that it does not touch so is often used as a means of traveling between them.
Gongimaun, the plane of Storms. this plane contains two planes. the Un’da (water) and At’ti (air). unlike other planes, air and water are only half infinatly wide, as they connect with each other. this strange connection is caused becuse the water and air used to be one plane, filled iwth constant storms.
F’nar’ire, the plane of fire: as the name suggests, this plane contains the energy of heat. it also is the trading hub for planer travelers, as well as having exstensive ship yards.
Sela, the plane of stone.
The Divine Bureaucracy: a demi-plane between the Verdea and the Plane of the dead. It is the home of the Keepers, the remaining mestas (elder-gods) who are responsible for maintaining the fundamental rules of the universe
