Gods of Dust Pvt

Adventurers, you stand on the precipice of a world crafted from celestial sacrifice, technological marvels, and ancient, cosmic secrets. Welcome to Alathor—a realm shaped by divine design and sustained through delicate harmony between life, death, and magic. Here, life flows from the radiant Sun—the vigilant eye of the Mother—into the vibrant lands, rivers, and mountains, before returning through the enigmatic Moon Gate, carrying souls beyond mortal understanding.   Alathor itself embodies the sacrifice of the celestial Mother of All, her essence infused in every stone, forest, and stream. Across its lands thrive diverse races—the Maia, Nakhasi, Grizzla, and Pukta—each born from the shattered essence of the Prime, beings awakened and corrupted by the ancient Harbinger known as Caelumbra, the Great Prism. The Prime, gifted and cursed with immense elemental power, nearly unbalanced the world in their ambition and chaos. In response, the divine Stewards—children of the celestial Mother—shaped from the Prime new races, gentler yet still powerful, aiming to restore balance and harmony.   Now, a new age dawns as Alathor enters its Second Industrial Age, powered by the revolutionary discoveries of magi-tech and cyber-arcane technologies. Cities hum with the energy of Prism-Cores, Ember-Furnaces, and arcane circuits—innovations birthed from the secret and highly-guarded remnants of Caelumbra’s scattered legacy. Yet even as civilization reaches new heights of wonder and convenience, shadows of old corruption linger.   The Stewards, once unified protectors of balance, stand fractured and weakened as they have been forced to pass their mantles through multiple iterations over multiple millennia. The newest iteration of Zun, once a steadfast guardian, turned tyrant, wielding his fading divinity with ruthless determination as he encourages fanatic, zealous followers, the Exalted of Aurorum, to conquer the world in his name. But even he and his presence have not been seen or felt in hundreds of years and new powers rise to challenge and stymie the Theocracy of Aurorum's ambitions. Meanwhile, his weakened siblings, their demigod offspring, and various organizations scheme in the shadows across the world, desperately seeking to preserve the fragile harmony that remains or to abolish it in favor of a new world order. Forgotten powers stir, ancient threats awaken, and kingdoms teeter on the brink of conflict.   Adventurers, Alathor calls upon you. Will you champion this land’s delicate harmony, or bear witness to its unraveling?
