The God Tomb

**Preface**

As many of you scholars know, the study of gods is a messy subject. In this tome I offer all known wisdom of the divine beings that gave our world shape and form. I have dedicated my life to the study of the gods, both heavenly, hellish, and arcane. I have raised the souls of dwarves, pressing them for questions of their time walking alongside the gods. I have spent years in temples to pantheon gods, and even dipped into the pride ring of hell to talk to Lucifer himself. I have documented all of my research into this book, and I sincerely hope that this guides you in your studies.

-Professor Hastra, dean of Divine Studies at The College of Valor

**A Brief History of Time**

In the beginning, there was light, and there was darkness. The light was named Twii, and the darkness named Hastor. They lived in perfect balance and harmony, existing and not existing. Eventually, Hastor became bored with this nothingness, and decided to change his existence. He waited until Twii fell into a deep sleep, then killed her. He used the body of Twii to build a large, flat plane. It was a desolate clay expanse, with nothing on it. Hastor was displeased with this, and began to add other clay planes above, below, and around the middle one. They still had no detail or interest. Hastor became very angry, deciding to spill the blood of Twii’s corpse over the planes.

As the liquid light of Twii’s blood dripped from the upper clay planes to the lower, life began to sprout from the planes, becoming darker as it reached the bottom. During this time, Twii’s eyes fell from her body, one coming to rest on the very top plane, and one falling all the way to the bottom. These eyes became the gods Pix and Nix. The blood grew all plants throughout the planes, each taking on a different form. Hastor then decided that these beautiful worlds were empty, and wanted to fill them with more beings like him. His head split open at the forehead, and three beings emerged: Yog-Sathoth, Azathoth, and Laa.

These gods began to help Hastor shape the universe, each adding something new to the world. Yog-Sathoth gave the space in and around the planes meaning, Azathoth began the flow of time, which took hold of the planes, and Laa gave the worlds  meaning, by adding sentient life to every plane. All creatures upon the earth at one point originated from Laa.

Laa then gave birth to Ten, Oran, and Chi, who took hold of that large, center plane, where they shaped the earth, sea, and sky to their heart’s content. These gods  eventually had their own children, the titans. Hastor favored the titans greatly, giving them the very last pieces of Twii’s body to create their own planes with. The titans enslaved the people of the planes, forcing them into labor and killing them on a whim.

Eventually, the titans had their own children, the pantheon gods and hell gods, who rose up against them, freeing the worlds from the reign of the titans and chaining each titan to their own plane. The Pantheon gods took up residence in the 9 heavens and the 9 hells, above and below the material plane, walking in and out of the material plane and communing with the people of earth. PIx and Nix had their own children, the four elemental gods, who took up residence in the outer reaches of the material plane, turning into the four elemental planes.

During this time of peace, the seven great races began to take hold of their reaches of the plane. The humans took the east, building a great city by the name of Calormen.  The dragons took the south, where they eventually bred with humans to create the dragonborn. The Hollows took the north, where they built amazing structures of ice and stone, where they maintained the balance of magic. The dwarves took the northwest, in the mountains, where they advanced quickly and developed magic and technology far beyond anything in our current time. The Giants took the West, where they built great cities of stone. The giants enslaved the goblins, who worked for them. The elves took the center of the world,  where they prospered and were happy and peaceful.

Hastor decided that the dwarves were advancing too fast, and struck them with a horrible illness that left 90% of the population infertile, and the dwarves began to die out. The giants and the dragons began to fight over territory, and the goblin slaves joined the side of the dragons, inventing machinery to kill giants. The dragons and goblins won the war. The final battle of the war was won by a red dragon, a green dragon, and an army of goblins. The giants were driven off the mainland to another island. The goblins immortalized the two dragons they fought with, naming them Gork and Mork, and worshiping them as gods.

A young elf who’s name has been lost to history began an uprising, the elves wanted more power. They crossed the sea to a new continent, where they began driving back the native satyrs and humans. The war was eventually won by the elves after centuries of fighting, and the elves continue to control the entire continent.

During the last years of the dwarves, a young demigod human by the name of Ozymandias was captured and enslaved by the dwarves. He had killed 200 in a blind rage, with no provocation. He was sent to live out the rest of his days working in the dwarven salt mines. One day, Ozymandias stumbled upon a very powerful magical item, which he used to slay his dwarven captors. He then went on to massacre the rest of the dwarves, bringing their race to extinction. He was not finished yet, declaring war against the gods of heaven, who he believed had cheated him out of a good life. After years of war Ozymandias was slain in battle, never to be heard from again. The gods  of heaven decided that the humans were not to be trusted anymore, and they locked themselves in heaven.

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

- Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Father Poet

**The Outer Gods**

The outer gods are the most ancient beings in the universe, forming from stardust and magic in the beginning of times. They rule over the most fundamental parts of existence, governing time, space, reality, and even destiny. They are incredibly powerful cosmic beings, and each has three forms.

Hastur’s Mortal form is pictured below, a yellow robed king. Hastur’s true form is unknown and unknowable to mortals.
