Tyranny

> Alas, I am no longer a righteous god. As it seems, the power has made me what it always wanted...a tyrant. For I, I am Tyranny.

> -Tyranny.

Tyranny was one of the 8 gods of Terratus. His power used to be called Morality, before it became what it always wanted, Tyranny. He was close with the Architect, having had close discussions, and drinks with the man. Upon his death at the hands of a revolution, he was replaced by another, who became the Justiciar.

## Biography

### Early Life

Tyranny's name has been forgotten to history, but some still remember what he did before he became a god. Tyranny served as the voice of reason in the Architect's scientific expeditions, making sure no moral lines were crossed. It is suspected he was trained to use a blade, often carrying one around in the later years of his life, how skilled he was is unknown.

### Ascendance to Godhood

When Tyranny ascended to his godhood, he instantly felt his power pull him towards the actions of a tyrant. However, he fought these urges, and in a way, the power itself, forcing it to become Morality, hoping it would stay that way forever. He, along with many of the other gods, helped make planets, though he eventually settled on Iudicium, ruling the people as their god.

### After Ascension

Tyranny ruled the people of Iudicium as Morality for 18,000 years, as their god, and judge. Using his powers was always a struggle, since the basis was subjective, and was one of the major reasons for his downfall later in his life. For the final millennium of his life, he became Tyranny, eventually being slain in a duel by the Justiciar.

## Personality

Morality was a very ethical person. He never believed in the law, more just believing in 'right vs wrong.' This was one of the factors that ultimately led to him becoming Tyranny, which changed his personality vastly. Morality was generally seen as a nice god, helping people in need, punishing bad people, almost no one went without a home while he was around....until he became Tyranny. While as Tyranny, he generally didn't care for the people, letting everyone get away with crimes. Those that betrayed him, ended up executed. Entire sections of Salris ended up demolished. He was viewed as an evil man, known to just lash out at someone who even looked at him.

## Legacy

> In the end, Morality was Tyranny, and he deserved to die...but did he deserve to be replaced?
>
> -"Morality" (Book by unknown author)

After the Justiciar killed him, taking over the power of Tyranny, he changed its intent to become the Justiciar, a god of the law. A religion was also founded, based on Tyranny, worshipping him, and hoping for his return. There is a split statue, showing the conflict of Morality and Tyranny underneath the city of Salris.

## Powers and Abilities

Tyranny had the power to force people to believe his words, hiding himself as a tyrant. He also had increased intellect and speed. He wielded duel daggers, of which disappeared upon his death. The daggers are believed to be mythical, and a rumor has spread that they reside under the city, accompanying the rumor of a statue beneath the city.
