| − | + | Throughout history, mortals have quailed under the power of the gods. | |
| − | + | In the beginning, gods walked the planet of Jord freely, among the | |
| − | + | mortals which they created. Their influence spread far and wide, until | |
| − | + | wars began to break out between mortals over power and glory in the | |
| − | + | name of their god. The world nearly torn asunder by mortal bickering, | |
| − | + | the greatest gods of peace decreed that the true gods should return to | |
| − | + | their home plans of existence and no longer interfere directly with mortal | |
| − | + | affairs. | |
| − | + | ||
| + | Although a general agreement was made to obey the pantheon's ruling, | ||
| + | many gods left behind avatars to be worshipped and idolized by the mortal | ||
| + | realm. Even more find occasion to secretly visit the mortal realm. | ||

| + | <helpfile> | ||
| + | Since the beginning of time, the evil gods have tortured those mortals | ||
| + | whose hearts reach out in kindness. Over the course of eons, the dark | ||
| + | powers wielded by these evil gods twisted and reshape them. No longer | ||
| + | were they awe-inspiring brilliant lights for all to worship, rather the | ||
| + | power turned them into what the mortals feared most - twisted, | ||
| + | sinister, monstrous creatures that roamed the shadows, fed on fear, | ||
| + | and ravaged the mind of sanity. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Engulfed in their cruelty, these evil gods have in turn created evil | ||
| + | beings to go forth into the world and haunt all of Jord. These creatures, | ||
| + | coined Demons and Devils, are often benign, held under sway by the laws | ||
| + | governing the pantheon of gods, but sometimes, when the stars align, and | ||
| + | darkness is at its most powerful, the full power of these creatures can | ||
| + | be felt throughout the world. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In recent centuries, however, Lolth, Queen of the Demonweb Pits has gone | ||
| + | to extreme lengths to create a network of portals to allow all of the major | ||
| + | demons access to her realm in the Demonweb. Many wars rage in the Abyss, | ||
| + | and purveyors of the eternal wars that rage there theorize that Lolth has | ||
| + | created this network to benefit her power and influence in the Abyss. As | ||
| + | demons come to her seeking aid, she enters into tenuous agreements | ||
| + | that provide her with powerful allies. A master of diplomacy in the Abyss, | ||
| + | Lolth's influence has reached a milestone in recent years and it is only | ||
| + | a matter of time before her true purpose becomes evident. | ||
