The Gods of Broken Light.

**At one time, the most powerful god in sinyanor was the god of magic. Legends tell that the ancients grew so powerful they attempted to slay the god to gain his magic. Little did they know, that slaying the god of magic would cause him to break into eight separate beings, each more powerful than the next. These new gods made slaves of the ancients, and they were forced into a religious servitude for 1000 years. It was then, for all time after, against the religious laws of the ancients to slay a god.**
