As I've said before, Cheshire is a beautiful kingdom, made all the more marvelous that is almost completely a feat of human ingenuity. Granted, they did get aid from the dwarves and elves, but most of the blood, sweat, and tears, that made Cheshire the "Jewel of the Great Kingdoms" were human. I could go … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour: Cheshire’s Places of Interest

Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 2)
There are few things in this world that I am generally afraid of. No, Draen Do'Gra does not cause me fear. Neither does his exquisite wife Kor'rieanna Auvryani the dark elf queen. They can destroy me in an instant, but they have no reason to do so. They have my respect and adoration, especially the … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 2)

Standing apart from the natural order of divinity, but no less a part of the grand order now, are the self titled Demon Kings.

The next tier of divine power up from the lesser gods, are the Intermediate Gods.

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)
