History
For thousands of years, the people of this world lived in peace and plenty, devoid of any pain or suffering, knowing little of sin. All the races of the world, including humans, elves, fairies and dwarves lived in harmony, tending to the planet and learning to evolve through service to one another. The gods walked freely among their people, guiding their souls through ascension in this Golden Age – until it all came to a cataclysmic end with the arrival of the daimons.
Seeking a new feeding ground, the daimons tricked and tempted the humans into experiencing life on a deeper, more physical level. Becoming fully aware of feelings like greed, pride, envy, wrath and lust, humanity fell from the grace of the gods, losing their connection to the divine, closed to the divinity within themselves…
While the races now struggle to survive, the gods have retreated to the higher dimensions to fight the daimons’ ever growing terror on Taqqara.
It soon becomes a battle that cannot be won, and a deal is struck. In exchange for peace, one of the gods must serve in the underworld. That one is Quoren, the Fertility God of Taqqara. Torture and temptation at last overcome him and he transforms into the daimon-god, the Fallan of Lust. One by one, the other gods follow and fall to Darkness, save for two.
Great civilizations rise and fall, as new wicked races are born and let loose unto the world. The new daimon-gods, meanwhile, grow more evil, serving only selfish need, and over time, the ancient truths are lost. Eventually, all elves, fairies and dwarves, still connected to the old ways, must go into hiding as the world spins deeper into chaos.
Amid such brutality a new god emerges, embracing the desperate people, speaking silver-tongued words of peace and kindness and love for all. But this is just a ruse, a fiendishly clever daimonic ruse to manipulate and control the world with ease. Eons pass and all that came before is forgotten.
Firmly in the grip of Darkness disguised as the Light, with ancient knowledge lost, their powerful gods reduced to myth or worse, the people of Taqqara toil through their daily lives, while cosmic forces battle to maintain control of their lives, minds, and souls.
Can the true gods regain their place among the people and restore humanity’s own forgotten divinity?
