Nether Realm

## Current Era

**The Era of Engulfment**

The other part of the Darkness was infuritated by the failure of the Lich he created. It was supposed to rampage and destroy the world but it seems like the Darkness has to do it themself. The Darkness as a entity can't do anything to each other but the 'evil' part of it found a way to split them in two. The 'evil' part did it and split the Darkness into two entities. The \*Good' part of it didn't know what happened everything happened so quick. This action by the 'evil' part had consequences, when they split into two then a booming darkness went around the entire world then the lush beautiful world became endless planes while the rest was swallowed by Darkness.

## History

**The Start of Time**

At the start there was nothing but Darkness... The Darkness is the original substance of this world. The rulers aswell as the gods. But the Darkness wasn't a united entity more like a divided consciousness, the Darkness was divided into two trains of thought, one that thought that being the sole existence in this world is the way to go and one that thought bringing othter life into this world would be the way to go. The different halfs arugmented for milenias over this question and right under their noses life was being created through natural means and when they were done argument a world with sentient inhabitans had already been created. One half of the darkness loved this progress while the other part hated it.

**The Creation of the Lich King**

The other side of the Darkness hated the new sentient being in this universe, so it decided to create a a being that hated other life than itself and had the power to remove this pest. The 'evil' part of the Darkness created a being whose body was gaunt and skeletal with withered flesh stretched tight across horribly visible bones their eyes were bright pinpoints of crimson light burned in the empty sockets. This horrifying creature was sent to the world born into hatred and pain. When the Lich opened its eyes the first thing it saw was huge aircrafts in the air powered by magic and the natural Beautiful landscapes of the world. Thought its first Memories were of pain and hatred beyond anything it learnt the concept of beauty from these sentient beings living in the Nether Realm and thought that beauty should be keept. So it built a palace for itself and lived a life of seclusion from there on

## Religions

Dein is a old belief system revolving around the energies in the Dakness. Their main teachings revolves around conviction in the religion and loyalty to it, and these teachings are often passed on through attempting to reach enlightenment. Dein teachings come from lessons passed down the generations, usually by members who have volunteered to be teachers and mentors. They often express their beliefs through entering the Endless planes of Darkness and sacrifice. Being a old belief system, Dein has managed to establish itself as the one true religion aswell as a serious and respected way of life. Those who are part of this belief system see Dein as a way to get some kind of a inheritance from the Darkness.

## Divine Laws

In the Nether Realm, magic comes from the powers of the Darkness. All the power and knowledge one gains in life is passed onto new life through the Darkness, so those with great powers in the present know their powers continue in a different generation, for better and worse. Wars have been fought in the past in an attempt to shift knowledge from one nation to another. By killing powerful people of one nation and making sure there are many birth in another, chances of the Darkness to pass on the teaching of powerful people is higher in the latter.

## Trivia

The conviction in this entry can be seen reapetdly. Obviously from the religion but if you read beetwen the lines then you can pick up the stromg belief from the 'evil' part of Darkness where the Darkness should be the only existing thing and from the 'Good' side of Darknesses side where they strongly believe that there should be more life than just Darkness.
