Moral Gods

The Moral Gods embody the nature of the people who live on Earth. It is said that all emotions and morality(or lack thereof) derive from them, as all people are the children of these beings.

It is believed there was originally only one God or force that split into three - Shah as the God of Lawful Good, Enerjak as the God of Lawful Evil, and Son as the God of Chaos. In turn, Iblis was extracted from Son, becoming the God of Chaotic Evil compared to his counterpart's Chaotic Good.

Together, they represent the bulk of the power in the universe. However, the nature of humanity makes it so they too, collectively, are in balance.

Spoiler Shah :

Shah is the bringer of order, prosperity, and justice. He bestowed the concepts of laws and writing unto humanity and Mobians alike. He is, accordingly, representative of Lawful Good. Commonly associated with water because, like the ocean, the soft-spoken, polite, gentle Shah can easily become mighty and destructive if pushed too hard.

Shah is said to have been the one to created the natural laws as much as the legal ones. He has established many rules regarding to morality as well, and he is said to judge the dead. Injust hearts will be sent to Hell, ruled over by Enerjak.

Shah is the patron of government officials, especially so if working in law enforcement or the upper echelons of the state. He is regularly prayed to by those who want crime fought and good diplomatic relations continued. Judges especially pray to Shah, hoping he will pass on his omniscience to them.

Due to his nature, Shah is seen as the head of the Gods, though he is equal in power with the other three; in reality, he is on top because Son feels politics is boring and the other two are, well, evil.

The White Prelate is commonly addressed as the "Son of Shah," as he is the foremost legal expert and upholder of laws and diplomacy.

Spoiler Son :

Son was once the strongest of the Gods, embodying Chaos in general, unlike his two fellow dieties, who each were half of Law. That all changed, however, when Enerjak attempted to twist Son's mischief against him. It didn't go so well - the evil inside Son was removed, leaving Son himself as Chaotic Good.

Originally, Son was God of everything from mischief to murder. Chaos in general was good for him; it was essentially his job to defy every natural law Shah crafted, and to tempt humans to defy whatever legal statutes were established. Beyond that, they were to resist any attempt at law and order.

Since his split, however, Son has changed. He no longer embodies the evil sides of chaos, but only the Good. It is said that he is what encourages people to engage in mischief, as well as to never bow to tyranny.

Son's most famous story, however, is the advent of free will. When Shah created sentient life, he planned for them all to follow his grand schemes and act as automatons. However, Son, in his greater power, sabotaged these plans. As a result, all life was created with free will, much to Shah's displeasure.

Son is the most "human" of the Gods in general opinion. Rather than being excessively of any opinion, he generally doesn't care what goes on so long as he and others can do as they please. Despite his great theoretical power, he's content to let Shah rule over the world, considering leadership a boring role. He maintains his godhood solely because of his willingness to assist those in need.

Son is the patron of reformers, liberals, and freedom fighters. Because of his generous nature, he is also revered in charitable circles. Entertainers and artists in general revere him because of his love of fun. Those who are competitive also tend to pay homage to Son, as Son loves nothing more than a challenge(much to the chagrin of the other Gods, as he has repeatedly tried to undermine the existing order).

Commonly associated with Air, due to its freedom.

Spoiler Iblis :

Iblis, God of Strife, War, Discord. Commonly associated with fire due to his destructive tendencies. He represents the alignment of Chaotic Evil.

Legend has it that Iblis was once part of Son. Enerjak, using his awesome power, attempted to enslave Son, but Son's will was so strong Enerjak could only extract the evil half of the heroic God. While Enerjak at first thought he had found a friend, he was sorely mistaken: Iblis determined him to be a foe as much as the other Gods.

It is said that Iblis and Enerjak eventually brawled in such a manner that destroyed the Earth, triggering the Flame Deluge.

In the end days, Iblis and Enerjak will return to Earth for one final battle, before both are defeated by the combined forces of Shah and Son.

Iblis is traditionally seen as a patron of criminals and military command. Soldiers worship him, but lean towards Raiju and Naga.

Spoiler Enerjak :

Enerjak is a being of pure evil that resulted from the Origin. Whereas Son was the natural order of the world - chaos - Enerjak and Shah both desired to impose lawful order. Whereas Shah wanted laws to benefit those who are governed by them, Enerjak wanted laws that benefitted him. Since the beginning of time, the pair have dueled time and time again, destroying entire universes, only for a new one to be built on the ruins.

Enerjak's most heinous act was attempting to enslave Son's power with his magic. The result backfired, instead creating Iblis, Chaotic Evil incarnate. Iblis was as much Enerjak's enemy as Shah and Son's. Enerjak considers Iblis both his greatest success(his immense, raw, destructive power), and greatest failure(his inability to control it). Since then, Enerjak has had a delicate political situation, dueling with Son and Shah as often as he does Iblis. It is predicted that Good's ability to unite and conquer will be the downfall of Enerjak and Iblis alike.

Enerjak is revered primarily by those of evil leaning. He is the Devil of Mobian theology, ruling over the Great Inferno where all wicked souls are kept. One day, he will assemble his vast army and descend upon the universe in a new battle with Shah.

Associated with Earth, due to his narrowminded nature. Associated with metal by extension, even moreso due to his battle armor.

"I TOLD YOU TO RELEASE THEM!"

"Uh..... lord, I did?"

"Are you new, you must be new. Releasing means death!"

"Oh.."

The Malum Lord sat in his chair, holding his head in his hand. Admiral Pyrrhus stood at attention, waiting to be told to leave. My trusted lieutenant stood by my chair, and leaned over and whispered in my ear, "What do you want me to do with him."

I stood up, looked at the admiral, and said "Admiral, you are released."

"Thank you my lo-" He stopped, when he realized what I had just said. "No, please no, give me another chance?"

"Have you ever saved my life?"

"No."

"Then I shall not save yours, take him away lieutenant."

He went screaming down the hall, being dragged my the lieutenant. They walked into a room, and a single gun shot was heard. Then the door to the furnace was opened, and the body dropped in.

He walked back, and took his place at my side again. "What now?"

"Now, we establish an empire to the rule forever and a day."

[Red_Spy]

ooc: Thats better and it does not stealing my characters.

OOC: Technically, they were taken hostage in my RP and you never complained of that. So, until I actually put in my RP to give them back, they were part of nation, and I can do what ever I wanted to with them.

 

[Sonereal]

If there's no objection, I'll go ahead and start working on the update.

 

[Tambien]

Can't remember if I posted orders or not, anyway, All into armies.

 

[Tani Coyote]

No objection here. I just wonder how long this RP Cold War can keep on going...

 

[CivOasis]

^Which one?...

 

[Sonereal]

Question (from observation of the Greek war):
What happens if you capture an enemy city, but you don't have the territories for a new city?
Does it revert, or do you keep the city?

If you capture a city, you keep it.

What's a Super NPC?

Like a regular NPC, only they'll expand, go to war, etc. Like a player. They will conduct higher-level diplomacy than a regular NPC.

 

[Midnight-Blue766]

The Mahdi has surprisingly left the city of Kabul to inaugerate the first Kabuli naval squadron in the newly rebuilt city of Karachi. In the north, the Mahdist forces have stepped in to the Tibetan Civil War and have liberated the western area of the country from the Lamaists. To commamerate this, the city of Aazaadibad has been built as a new capital for the Tibetan prefectures of the Caliphate, free of the oppressive theocracy that had been ruling Tibet previously.


20 IC to Armies

Texarkana

We wonder what is Latinoamerica's plans for expansion in North America.

 

[CivOasis]

We had wished to discuss this with the Texarkana Mayornate.

Our plans - which we hope you respect - are to reclaim the borders of the First Republic, which, in North America, encompasses the entirety of Mexico and the Carribean. We have no intentions of claiming land on the mainland of the former United States or Canada (though Caribbean islands, such as the already-claimed Puerto Rico, are to be interpreted as within our sphere of influence).
We hope that the Mayornate respects this, and likewise does not intend to claim lands within the boundaries of the First Republic or isolated Caribbean islands.

Latinoamerica looks forwards to a long and peaceful cooperation with the Texarkana Mayornate.
