The days were filled with the making of weapons, kissing of wives & others wives, not to mention the telling of tales around the watch fires of past deeds & future glories.
everyone was involved in the activites for to thimk you would be able to avoid the coming religous wars, was to be the 1st fool swept aside in its path.
this is the present.

the gods as a rule tended to stay in their own realms, doing their taxes, assigning duties to their lesser forms & generally inspiring their followers etc.
However, once every year(a 1000 years for us) they would all get together & have a big bash.
of course they all kept in contact via the galactic internet on which they played a game called life the universe & everything.(yes i borrowed it from hitch hikers guide)

it was an ongoing game they had been playing for aeons from their home realms & involved a series of small campaigns.
I Guess you could say they ran the game for others to play while gaining position & rank in the world of the gods for their roles in these campaigns.

each year they would play a special game & this years game was a beauty, it involved 6 teams of 5 warriors in any one campaign, one for each god, but the twist was that at the end of each campaign, each god would have to pass on the team & have each team play their religion once, who-evers religion placed 1st at the end of the comp would gain the most favours.

so they came forth, the chosen ones.
36 souls, chosen on the whim of the gods & their party games.
They were spread throughout the lands & 6 times would they have to live & perhaps die for the gods to decide their yearly competition(1000 years for us)

of course back in the mortal world they would never be aware of the games of the gods as each turn at a religion would be played in a seperate life.
as far as they were concerned, it was just another campaign in another life.
when your religion is set from dot, you don't question it, you defend it, its all you know.

Atop the hill they had chosen to camp, the fire glow shining of them, stands Lord Foul, stepping up behind him comes wrymmlore & Rozna, followed quickly by La Perle & Danheg.
Grifter stands holding the banner of the Foul Order as it waves in the smokey breeze.

They look out across the vally & there are 5 other knolls, each with a defient group standing atop, glaring at each other in the darkening near blood orange moonlight.

straight across they see the doom doggies, as a bolt of lightning cracks the sky, they see Ahuizotl, Andys SP1, Momster, Ptrick, RyanG & FighteerI.

to the left stand the everknights, Knut, Bane, Raywind, buzzard Sparrow & Thorn, their faces light up as another crack of lightning lights the sky.

to our right stand the Nameless, Lo fu, gackmasta, Sephroth, Whathebloodyhell, Des duivels & Piezo.

in between the Nameless & the doom doggies are the six of one, Battle Boar, Drooling Hamster, Glarion, Purge, Urza & V1per.

on our left of course is the left hand of god, Bluesky, Krynn, Vippid, Waterdios, Weasel & Mad Maximus.

all at once they all let out their respective war cries & the vally howls an unatural humm.....

soon....soon there will be war.

how was that one vippid.
