The next tier up on the divine hierarchy of Duir'Aion are the Greater Gods. While most of the populace see no difference between the Greater Gods and the Titans, those learned in divinity understand there is a small but distinct difference. Tenure. The Titans were the original gods, every other god came after them. Still, … Continue reading The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 4)
Author: Y.F. Desince, II
I am a storyteller; a bard incarnate. I craft worlds to entertain, to terrify, to make you feel something real. Entire civilizations rise and fall at the stroke of a pen. Let me take you on a journey that reframes the familiar and dares you to see deeper.
I am a father of eight; though only two share my blood, all hold my heart. My youngest, born with cerebral palsy, carries a weight I can hardly imagine, yet bears it with more grace than I ever could. She grounds me. My family is my center.
The stories I tell — the magic, the monsters, the myths, the madness — all of it, in the end, is for them.
The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 3)
The next tier of divine power up from the lesser gods, are the Intermediate Gods. While the Greater Gods and Titans are the movers and shakers of the cosmos, it is generally the Intermediate Gods that carry out their superiors wishes. In turn, the Intermediate Gods can delegate orders to the lesser and demigods if … Continue reading The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 3)
The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 2)
The next tier of power up from demigod status, are the lesser gods. This tier is one of constant conflict, yet of relative peace, for diplomacy rules here. The reason for this "controlled chaos" is two-fold. To begin with, there are rivals on many sides. For example, Torgash calls himself the god of War, the … Continue reading The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 2)
The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 1)
The gods of Duir'Aion are a collection of powerful entities. For the most part they tend to behave like family. There are alliances and disagreements, but when something threatens the pantheon they all tend to work together. Currently the status quo is under siege by the infernals of the Pit. Seven demon lords have ascended … Continue reading The Gods of Duir’Aion (part 1)

It occurred to me to write and published them, only recently. After an attempt to publish … Continue reading Something borrowed, Something new

Chord’s World Tour – The Bloody Skulls
When a civilized race considers orcs, to a fault they all think the same thing. Vicious tusked warriors that have been raiding and pillaging for centuries. Typically orcs are organized into tribes. Each one named after something threatening, either their leader (usually) or their surroundings. Tug's Tusks, or Dragonspine orcs, for example. Generally speaking, orcs … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Bloody Skulls
