Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mark of the Goddess:

They say that long ago a great battle spread across the land. Fueled by the greed, fears and hate of men, none where spare its destruction, though many tried to flee from it. It would chase them across the land or it would be lying in wait from one place to the next. The immortal races, wishing no part in human war, withdrew into heir own kingdoms, but the insatiable greed of men soon forced them to fight as well, and the realms were forced into a further spiral of chaos. In this chaos two mighty empires of men emerged and soon turned on each other. The tales say even the gods turned on each other, many seeking to alter the world for their own gain. It seemed the world could only fade into darkness.

Then, when all hope seemed lost and the people thought their lands tittered on the brink of ruin, an unlikely group of heroes emerged from the shadows. A group of mix origins and races, they fought restore the balance and peace of the lands. Guided by a goddess who had taken pity on their world they overthrew the warlords and drove back the darkness. But their tale was true, and unlike the stories of knights' adventures told to children, it was not without sorrow.

There were those among the gods who did not wish for the fighting to end, and when they learned of the goddess actions they bound her powers and cast her into an enchanted sleep before turning on her chosen. It seemed that despite their past victories they may be defeated. It was then that the favored of the chosen, understanding what had happened, scarified themselves to awaken the goddess and restore her power. The last of the warlords fell, but not without a price.

~Someone once told me there are four sides to a story~

Slowly peace returned to the lands. The empires divided back into the kingdoms they had once been, the people in grief swearing never to forget the young hero and the countless others lost. Yet despite the return of order the goddess's grief for those lost was too great, and she returned to the divine realms.

~My side, your side, the side told in history books and tales, and then the true story from which they all come~

"The time may come when you will need me again. If I sleep you must find a way to wake me. For if you do not wake me, the world will once again fall into shadow."

~Each side is different from the others in one way or another, but since the truth can be hard to find it is up to us to decide what to accept as truth.~

When the world grows dark a chosen one ventures forth to awaken the goddess and restore order. So it has been for centuries, and this time comes again, but as in the ancient tale, this task is not without its dangers...

~Sometimes the truth is not what we expect. Facts get lost in time. Tales are changed to suit the purpose of the teller. Do you want to know the truth?~
