Description

Around five thousand years ago, the Harvester Culture broke down within a short period of time, leaving little traces for future generations to discover, except some burned strata in settlement remains. And disconcerting mythology concerning the predecessors to the diverse divine pantheons that dominated the spiritual world until the end of the Roman republic. After long stagnation, population had been on the rise again, putting pressure on food and resources and strain on a cruel system that was rooted in slavery and cannibal slaughter and little prone to change.

The old masters rose to become gods, worshipped by new priests that grovelled and fawned before them. Not as dour and obstinate as the monks and neither as bothersome as the Magi, they prevailed.

But as old myths tell us, the elder gods fell. In madness they turned onto each other, waging war once again, and one by one, they fell. Some were cornered and burned with righteous fire, some fled to the vast fields of oblivion, to fade. Others went to their tombs, buried alive. A new generations of gods was enthroned by the nimble priests, if not less cruel, at least human, mortal, and malleable.

And yet, this new world would not have come into being without the Three, one beloved, one venerated and one - feared.

As a side note: This time I actually DID use a Royo for inspiration. Can you figure out, which one?
