Conflict of the Gods

### **Keth's Story**

Keth is a part of Krixis. He has visited the plane of Pandemonium, the real world, has taken part in

an opium fueled dream for The Stranger Lands; explored the Forgotten Realms; read all the

Dragonlance series; Leveled up in Skyrim; survived the apocalypse in Fallout 3; assassinated

many people as a part of the Creed; dabbled playing a warlock in The World of Warcraft.

The adventures he has been on have addled his brain. He sees reality through very distorted

eyes. Everything is a plaything only because he understands that life is the only thing that

matters and he tries to control everything. In doing so he grew in power. He is the true

antagonist of Reality itself. Knowing this he has tried to regain his sanity but only does so for

brief periods.

This fractured identity is the only reason he hasn’t accidentally destroyed everything. He has

rewritten time itself and created life from magic. The tipping point for him was The Battle of

Kings, wherein he lost most of his friends as they battled and killed King Nuthaf. He brought one

of his friends back using necromancy for the first time. Cakool, twisted by the unstable hold Keth

had on necromancy, became a master of Undeath and Magics. Upon realizing he created such

a monster with his power, he vanished and travelled the plane of Pandemonium for a century.

During the time of his wanderings, his defeat of King Nuthaf was noticed by the ancient gods

and he was given domain over Death.

When he finally came back to the Material Plane he brought with him the Clock at the center of

Pandemonium. A city was founded in his name and being slightly crazed he placed the Clock in

the center of Keth. He regained a fraction of his sanity after 50 years. He wept over the deaths

and chaos he caused and took the Clock back. In his state he pleaded with the old Gods to give

him power over life so that he could fix every wrong he caused. Seeing his genuine grief they

obliged with a contingency plan to take the power back once his deeds were done. So Keth

became a demi-god with power over Life and Death.

His sanity was fleeting. He restored life and made the wicked pay but within a year he slipped

back into madness. It was a madness that sent him to travel into our reality. He played video

games, watched TV series, read books, discussed philosophy and committed murder. His

absence, as he spent time in the real world, was felt in the world of Krixis. With no direct

representation of the divine domain of Life and Death. The divine domain of Undeath

strengthened. Cakool, with his power over the divine domain of Undeath rising, brought back

King Nuthaf as a Lich to punish Keth’s hubris.

They hatched a plan to bring the Mistress of Undeath to the Material Plane. Knowing that Keth

may be back at anytime they started a three phase plan do this. The first phase was to cause

Chaos to rise over Law. With a giant swing the Gods would focus all their efforts on that. This is

when The Order started. The influence over the world was slower than anticipated. Keth came

back to his senses and with his knowledge of our world travelled back to Krixis. The Order was

a fledgling cult that wasn’t noticed.

The God of Law was the contingency plan to wrestle back the power of Life from the demigod

Keth. Knowing that the power of Life would be ripped from him, possibly killing him, Keth

defended himself and in doing so killed the God of Law. Absorbing the power over Law Keth

was transformed into a full fledged God and his followers flocked to him. His reach expanded to

span all the continents of Krixis and a religion was formed for his worship, although no one

knew what exactly they were worshipping. He gained a small following in the real world as well.

Again his sanity left him within a year. After the lapse a group of adventurers attacked a city

guard killing most of the guards at the gates. One of his worshippers called on him to fix it.

Unable to connect with reality itself he handed them a ball with four buttons on it and told them

all four would fix the problem but one would irrevocably change time itself - maybe. The group

took the chance and pressed a button. The entire history of Humans was forever changed when

the group erased from reality the biggest Human city on the continent from existence. They

were protected by Keth’s influence and proceeded to wander amongst the nomad barbarians

that they had created.

The act caught the attention of all the old Gods and created a war between the New Gods and

the old Gods. Keth was challenged by the God of Chaos and won. He then became even more

insane as the power of Law and Chaos ravaged his body fighting for control. His mind split

permanently and his Sane mind took sole control of Law. Chaos now reigns on Krixis. King

Nuthaf now known as Cletus Liverbottom is done with Phase 1. Phase 2 is now starting and

Keth is now going into his next rational period. He may only have a year at most to help his

followers stop King Nuthaf. Magic is being pulled from the Leylines in an attempt to block all

gods from reacting on the Material Plane. He will leave only one portal open, for Phase 3, which

Cakool and he will use to pull the Mistress of Undeath to the Material Plane.
