Ascent

None.

The old gods are gone. From the Abyss, new gods rise, carrying light, memories of a bygone world, and the sins of those they have slain.

To a new world they emerge. A world where they may restore the Eternal Day. A world where they may name and shape as they see fit. A world to call their own.

Once, a nascent world lies empty – the sky above, dark and unfathomable; the land below, featureless and flat. As its gods soar through the winds, it is named, shaped, made into their images.

The land and sea is separated, mountains rise and forests grow, across the land men and beasts roam. The sky is permeated by the eternal Light.

• Iiskana: Not Playable. Iiskana the Victor, the One Who Soars. Before her apotheosis, she was once the Youth. Betrayer to her fellow gods, the Last Goddess who rose to be a tyrant and was cut down.

• Tethnde: Playable. Once the interpreter of gods, then the interpreter of world and fate. The Voice who Names the Past. The Traitor Goddess who ascended through the death of her Goddess. Traitor Goddess who shot down her best friend when she turned into a tyrant. Before her apotheosis, she was the Priestess, the Youth's best friend.

• Siio: Not Playable (unless you ask nicely). The Questioner. Gave up godhood to aid Tethnde's fight against Iiskana. A quick brown fox who hunts memories. The ferryer between this world and the Abyss of death.

• 1: The new gods, wings stretched, soar across the sky. Tethnde names those that came from the previous world. Iiskana names the new world as she shapes it. Together, they shatter the Pearl and releases the Light - the Eternal Day begins.

• 2: The gods bring their people - humans and foxes alike - into this new world they have created, completing their journey from the previous world. They create settlements.

• 3: The gods watch their people from above and contemplates. Tethnde realises that they are continuing the cycle of the old worlds, where gods remain above the worlds they have created, and could never be free or joyful. The gods convene. Together they agree to break the cycle by sacrificing their godhood and rejoin their people.

• 4: The gods descend down to earth and announce their decisions to their people. The gods were supposed to give up their godhood, but they are betrayed by Iiskana as the sky breaks and the earth quakes. A war ensued, ending with the fall of all the gods.

• 5: Iiskana dies a mortal. Her body carried away by Siio into the Abyss. The Light is restored. No god remain and the age of mortals begin.
