There is another realm, by the name of Tathorym. There consists of five races, they are the Humans. Humans are obviously...human, they are balanced among all manners of fight, such as magic or weaponry, not so strong, but no too weak. Then there are the Tathorites, natives who have lived in the realm far longer than any of the races. They are tall, strong people gifted with magic of destructive purposes, especially fire. Very reclusive, living in huts guarded with wooden barricades. There are the Frozagans, hairy lizard people living in the harsh winters of Tathorym. Most of them have wings, but the rest do not. All are masters of ice magic and smithing. No other races can outmatch their cold-forged gear. And then the Xanjelians, strange insectoid creatures with tentacles writhing on their bodies. They make no noise whatever, making them great assassins. In their lands, there grows a special ore named Pruneag, highly explosive when used right, making the Xanjelians the best trap makers. Although, the Xanjelians have a disease that grow fungus, covering their bodies; it is highly contagious to all races. Lastly, the rarest race of all, Aladorians. Aladorians are never seen, but their automatons are, powered with the help of their adept electric magic. Only 9 Aladorians have been seen by each race. Their skin is silver, bright or dark, and they have no hair whatsoever. Those might be the races, but there is a grand power each race has. The power to become great entities. The races can become Gods. Gods are elected when one person (or thing) have a power that surpasses any and all. They are immortal, until another rises up to their own powers; so they clash until one lives to become a God. More higher ranking are the Titans. Titans are mostly people who have been elected from their God ranks when their power grows even greater. They may be strong, but the Titans cannot go down upon their realm, they must stay in their own beautiful realm. Loathe the Gods for they can go back to their realm. But of course, there are rules for the Gods. After Gods and Titans, there is a small rank by the name of Incarnate. Nobody can surpass their power, nor can over two people become Incarnate. They are embodiments of two things, Evil and Good. Once they are elected Incarnates, both of them cannot leave, they share the realm of the Titans, with their own mighty castles. Only the seeds of evil and good they spread can touch the Realm of Tathorym. After this, are the Void Lords. Beings created when time and space was created. Nobody can become their ranks, nobody can kill them, they are creationists, creating new life, and destroying other life. There was only one, but something was able to fight them, to split them apart from the challenger's corruption, making a corrupted Void Lord. That is the Void Overlord. Is was never a rank, until the Overlord created it himself. Nobody could deny that "rank", not even the Void Lords. The Void Overlord is the highest thing of all, it can do whatever it pleases, whenever, no matter what.
(Improved Race Descriptions.)
Humans are the thriving race, living in plains. Rolling green hills make for great grazing animals to feed, which the humans hunt for food. It is the biggest part of Tathorym, so humanity was able to spread fast. There are many towns spread around, but the most popular is the large kingdom which they call Sorrem (might change the name due to over popularity), or popularly know as "Sanctuary". Sanctuary's main castle is atop a hill, peering over the kingdom. In the shadow that the castle makes, is where bandits and thieves scurry about. There are many stores to browse for countless hours. Their religions are the Gods, and they worship many different ones. They erect shrines for each God, and demolish them if one falls from their power, preforming a ceremony for the fallen god, then the new one. The Tathorites have been around longer than any other race. They live in the thick rainforest that they call "Eldayos". Eldayos consist of tall, slender giants, and primitive creatures swing from each tree which the tribals tend to attack indiscriminately. They stand normally about 8 to 9 feet tall, bulky appearance, low intellect, and teeth that stick out of their mouths from a large underbite. They only have tribal huts and wooden walls for protection, but since they're very secluded, no other race bothers them. They do have chieftains, which stand out with large mask they wear. Their religion is based on basic needs, so they worship the Titans instead, shrines created from wood and shrubbery. Since they have destructive purposes, the forest around them are shriveled and burnt, causing most species to be run out of their terrain.
Frozagans, grow hair for insulation in the cold tundras of Frozaga. They are descendants of a great dragon that lived in the tundra. The dragon is a strange creature, since no one knows what it is, a God, or a Titan. Frozaga is home of giant wyrms and dragons, making it a fierce land to live in. But, they reap the rewards of the many ore deposits that litter their land, thus, making them excellent smithies. They also believe that their land is for the most powerful race to live in, so they have a smug personality about themselves. These people are excellent Cyromancers, winged Frozagans that use Cyromancy on the battlefield is a formidable foe. There is a massive castle that most Frozagans live in, by the name of Faledorn, that has four castles, each with different customs of the Frozagans,Weapons, Armor, Ice, and Smithy. At the center of Faledorn, there is a large fountain that leads into an ocean.
Xanjelians, the strangest race of all, are incredibly bug-like, being upright but yet having mandibles and writhing tentacles. Typically, male Xanjelians have multiple small mandibles for speech, slender heads, and up to 8 eyes, with wings that buzz when they fly. Female Xanjelians are different, they have more sturdy and effective tentacles, using for latching onto prey and constricting them until they fall limp. They have no wings, and fewer eyes, although. They come from the land of Xanjeli, which is a swampy terrain, with other predatory insects that the Xanjelians use for chitin and other materials. Their capital is a large side of a cliff, where the hive of the Xanjelians resides in. The leader is referred to as The "Matriarch" or the "Brood Mother". They are incapable to worship Gods or Titans, but only their leader since they were hatched by her. If anything, The Matriarch is their god, their religion. Although a strange race, they have a disease which grows fungus on them, which is infectious to all races. This disease grows fungus all over the host, covering them in a thick carapace of fungus. Even more strange, The Matriarch cannot get this disease, which causes some of the Xanjelians to question her. The rebellious Xanjelians are casted out to go to other places, such as Sorrem.
Then there are the Aladorians, the "Little" race. They look very human, but their skin is silver, their bodies completely hairless. Nobody knows much about the Aladorians, but some know they came from their grand lost city, Alador. There is one salesman Aladorian, who sells machinery, automatons, and cybernetics. The other Aladorians that were spotted use electric magic in combat, which is a new kind of element to the other races.

| There might be another race out there... Some say they are aliens... They are the Nonorans... All sightings have identified them as mysterious Man-like figures with wings matching their skin. They are powerful, and are sometimes called Demi-Gods due to their power. They live by mysterious areas, and it is not uncommon to see portals around them. Some say they are dimension-hoppers, and their old one was destroyed. |

| I'm saying that we have our alien sights, and they have theirs(I said aliens in the post, that gives a hint) But they are different then others, like a rare animal VS an alien, and they might have a connection as how humans got here. My RipJaw character is one of them. The wings are inspired by the cursed seal of heaven's second form. |

Aye. I see what the problem is. Otherworldly creatures, such as aliens, were never created by the creationists. Let me explain something I haven't explained.
Tathorym was one of the first realm/planet created by the Void Lords, being creatures of basically time and space itself, they can easily make stuff like that. Otherworldly creatures were not created until the "Great Crisis" occurred. Let me explain the Great Crisis.
The Great Crisis was when the Void Overlord was mad with power, made time reset itself anew, and split Tathorym into multiple planets. I'd rather keep this small, since I'm not going to implement the Great Crisis in my lore.
In other words, the Void Lords did not focus on other races until after the Great Crisis. Since Heaven was a realm created by a religion on another planet that did not exist yet, Heaven does not 'exist' yet.
(If there's a problem, let me know. I don't mean to offend you in any way.) |

| The conversation on this wall is a cross between hilarious and interesting. Interesting to think of otherworldly beings. Perhaps these otherworlders are literal angels or something. As for the races, they look fairly thought out. Not sure which one I'd play if these were implemented, Frozaga, Aldorian construct, and Xanjelian all seem like fine options for me. |

| A bit of advice in the lore, change the incarnates from good and evil, to light and dark. There isn't exactly a true good and evil, and it's more fun put that way. That being said, the two incarnates could be something else entirely, but good and evil seems too simplistic, too easy. |

But technically isn't light and dark the same concept as Good and Evil? To further explain, here are both the characters of light & dark/good & evil.
Aklova, the maiden of (Whatever we decide on). Then Aklurn, the prince/squire of (Decision). They were married at one time (opposites attract, am I right?), but, they were torn apart when they were elected as Incarnates. For both their tendencies, they became what engulfed them.
They are both human. Aklova carries a cylinder pole as a weapon, made of her own will, it strikes down Aklurn's devious seeds of evil. (Think of it like the Hammer of Justice.) Her armor consist of typical steel plating with leather pieces dyed blue. Her helmet shows a great bird with wings outstretched.
Aklurn carries a staff, and a small dragon that can mutate into a devious, demonic entity. The staff looks simple, made from oak, curved tip, but it is consumed by his own madness, turning it into a necrotic-raising staff. His armor is a chainmail blackened with pure darkness, and a long greyish cape. His shoulder has a small armored padding for his dragon (in 1st form) to rest on. His hat looks like a typical wizards' hat, instead it has four small sickle-like hooks at the end of the tip.
So, Aklova becomes a holy warrior fanatic, and Aklurn turns into a insane demonic mage who the both of them have to stay inside their "Titan-Realm" castle. Isn't being an Incarnate fun? |

Oh hell! I forgot to mention any of the Gods, Titans, Void Lords, and the Void Overlord! Time to explain now! (These are Gods that will become gods later on. They are currently on the verge of godliness.)
Gods(That I can remember currently) 1. Sydrusga. Role: God of ice and smithy. Race: Frozagan Height and weight: About 7'6 in height, and with out his armor, 290-300, with armor, 500 pounds maximum. Appearance: His armor is made of dragon bones, obsidian, cold-forged gold, steel, and various other materials. He has four sectors of armor plating on his chest. They are cut of in sectors by the gold lining. His shoulder armor are made of up 75% dragon bone that curved a point outwards, and of course with encrusted spikes on it. The rim of his shoulder armor is encrusted with obsidian. His greaves are darkened steel and obsidian plated, with elegant gold linings running down all the way onto his boots. On both of his boots, there are small skulls crafted from obsidian and steel combination by the name of Oleedium(up for change), a veil of spikes are donned on top both the small skulls on his boots. His gauntlets have Oleedium plates, with gold lining of course. His gloves, and the hair of his hands, help him insulate his hands from his frostbite-inducing greatsword. Weapon: A sword that was found with a dragon that is now his companion. The sword is called "Synsegara Maswarg", or "God's Bite" in his tongue. It is hard to tell a definite shape of the weapon, due to it changing everytime Sydrusga gains much power. The more power Sydrusga obtains, the more complicated and elegant his sword becomes. Companion and family: Sydrusga's companion is the rotting body of once a great and powerful dragon by the name Izarw. Ice has been a sort of "tissue" for Izarw, covering his spots that his bare bones protrude from. Izarw is about 35-30 ft long head to tail, height of 10 ft, and weighs only about 6-7 tons. Sydrusga's family consists of two wives (Frozagan customs and religion) by the name of Nulieh(Strangely Human) and Synvila(Frozagan). He has three children by the name of Greha, Syuint, and Nyilen(Forgot the last child's name).
I will continue to discuss about the Gods, Titans, and so on later on. For now, if you have any questions (such as if a certain god or entity is elected for whatever element/power), I will answer them. |

Allow me to tell you what I mean. In fantasy games, good and evil are made to look so obvious. This is why they are bland in terms of the complexities between the relationships. In fact, both light and dark could be good, and both could be evil. Think of light and dark being what is and what is not. Light symbolizes what is, what is known, while dark symbolizes what isn't or what isn't known. The two forces would clash, but it wouldn't be like a war. More of a scale and balance for all of known existence to perpetuate on.
I will say that technically the world's inhabitants are mostly thought of as light forms, as they are knowing beings. That being said, the dark sides are the unknown parts.
I will also say that there are many dimension-oriented meanings for light and dark. Such as the view that they are good and evil, or perhaps the two being what is known and what could be known. All of these comparisons stem from the base idea, but are seen in different ways. Alterations are certainly present, meaning that light and dark could CERTAINLY symbolize good and evil, even if they don't directly represent it. |

| Aye. But does that meaning completely changing the appearances of the two Incarnates? They technically aren't fully good or evil, they just have tendencies to do some things, until they were both consumed by it. The "Light and Dark" scenario is more associated with the original Void Lord, then the corrupted void lord. The Incarnates might be good and evil, but the Void Lords are literally light and dark. What you've said was completely associated with the Void Lords. But it's hard for races to avoid being evil and good, that being said, think of the Diablo concept. Stated in Diablo III (With the Ultimate Evil Edition), an Angel was talking about how humans have a choice to become good and evil, and they overwhelmingly choose evil. |

| So one is associated with negativity and destruction while the other focuses on creation and positivity. That would make more sense. Destruction and negativity would be considered more evil while the other would be considered moreso good, meaning it could be basically the same thing without them being necessarily good or evil. |

What's the point of this? I was going to type up a CS to be a reptilian (in the brotherhood), but this apparently isn't a roleplay?

@Omega. Yes, the gods look exactly what race they are. Sometimes, the gods could be a completely different entire thing, such as animals, or prehistoric creatures destined to become a God.
Becoming a god is a destiny, or fate in other words. Certain things are destined to become whatever they are, until a newcomer challenges the god, then it's up to the Corrupted Void Lord, called the "Great Unknown".
I say Prehistoric Creature since there is one as a god. God of Evolution, in fact. It's basically a large dinosaur-like monster that constantly evolved way before anything had a chance. |

I choose to wait since...
1. This is still not finished.
2. I will be a rookie, and not know what I'm doing.
3. Lorebreak. I've already planned out an entire story that covers an entire 5000 years. This is based off the medieval age of Tathorym. Something will happen, such as a person trying to kill off a God that was never defeated in the stories.
I am planning, in the future, to actually make a RP when I am finished and ready. As you can see, one person already wants to.
(Oh and uh, I'm surprised nobody asked me about the Void Overlord. It'll be an incredibly odd topic to do, but alas, I'm ready for it. Also, feel free to ask if there's a God/Titan associated with some form off activity such as fire, dancing, or food. Those are examples, and yet, there are no Gods of any of those three. God of Parties and Celebrations could be an exception, since there actually is a God of that.) |
