Will I Be Ignored By The Lord?

**Will I Be Ignored By The Lord?** is the thirteenth track on Golden Feelings.

## Description

This isn't much of a song, but just Beck speaking mundanely into a tape, no instruments or backing, just him talking. By the end, it is clear that he is improvising the lyrics.

## Lyrics

I was born, lots of people sayin' I looked like a dead man

But to them, there was no kindness

And so I came into the world with my hands in my jacket

Made a whole lot of racket

Couldn't speak, but I could beat on a stick

Oh when that airplane comes with the Lord

Will I be ignored?

Will I be ignored by the Lord?

Will I be ignored?

There was a woman, she looked on me sweetly

I needed her life to be with mine

But never will they meet, no

Never will they see

These two vines will twist away, away

Will I be ignored by the Lord?

Will I be ignored by the Lord?

By the Lord, what for?

When I may travel on one leg

My breakfast will be unpaid

And the flapjacks will flap back

Off the ceiling on to my head

Will I be ignored?

Will I be ignored by the Lord?

Will I be ignored?

People Gettin' Busy

**People Gettin' Busy** is the seventeenth and final track on Golden Feelings.

## Description

This song starts off with a few samples. The first is a brief sample of a folk tune. It features guitar, harmonica, and Beck's weird Banjo Story voice. Then, a even shorter clip of Beck in his Vader impression saying "I'm sad," before finally getting to the actual song. The song itself is a bluesy rap song, in a slow voice.

## Lyrics

*Walk to the bridge, stand like a fridge*

*Empty and cold, burnin' a light bulb*

**I'm sad.**

Right now get down, right now people gettin' busy

Right now get down, right now people gettin' busy

Ah yeah... people gettin' so busy

The man gave me a ticket when I tried to kick it

Leanin' on a biscuit, kissin' the finger

Car alarm is going, saxophone is blowing

Money I've been throwing at the dancing children

Everything's so phony, if you want to phone me

You can be my homey, give me some sympathy

Right now get down

## Trivia

* The line from the first sample "Empty and cold, burnin' a light bulb" would later appear on a Mutations B-Side, One of These Days.

## Chronology

### Next

Beck and Dava (1990)

*If you are looking for the song, see Banjo.*

**Banjo Story** is a demo cassette by Beck (age 18) dating back to 1988, and is considered his very first release. As the title states, the album prominently features the banjo. Most of the songs on the album are blues songs, with banjo accompaniment.

Information about this demo is hard to find, other than the fact that it was made in 1988. The cassette has 9 tracks on it, with the other 3 tracks (My Head Is Gonna Break In Two, Atmospheric Recordings, Hell) being added after fans bootlegged the cassette onto CD-R.

## Track Listing

If the track is *Italics,* that means the song is only considered a track on the bootlegged CD-R's of the album.
List of music videos

As early as Golden Feelings, Beck was making music videos to promote his songs. This page lists all of them.

Albums are listed in chronological order, while videos are listed by track listing.

## Lost music videos

Surprisingly, there is a large number of Beck music videos that were produced, but have never been seen. Out of the 10 lost Beck music videos, only 2 have resurfaced, those being the videos for Fuckin' With My Head (Mountain Dew Rock) and Forcefield. It is unknown if the other 8 will ever be uploaded online again.

2 videos, MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack and Steve Threw Up are rumored to exist, but their existence is unconfirmed.

### MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack

A video was supposedly produced for Beck's first single ever, MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack, but has never resurfaced. It was rumored that Steve Hanft directed this video, but he denied this. It is unknown if the video exists but directed by someone else or if it doesn't exist at all.

### Golden Feelings

A video was reportedly produced for the song Schmoozer, but was never published anywhere, and it's existence was only confirmed after the video for Forcefield was uploaded. Beck said he would upload the video for the song on his site, but has never done so.

### Mellow Gold

Videos were made for Loser, Pay No Mind (Snoozer) and Beercan since they were singles, but a number of non-single songs got videos too. These include Fuckin' With My Head (Mountain Dew Rock), Whiskeyclone, Hotel City 1997 and Steal My Body Home. The only video out of these to go into actual circulation was the video for Fuckin' With My Head, which aired on MTV, but didn't resurface online until the official Beck VEVO channel posted it. The videos for the other two are still lost.

### Steve Threw Up

There supposedly was a video for this song, but it has never resurfaced. It was rumored that Steve Hanft directed this one as well, but he has denied this and has said he's never seen it. It is unknown if this video exists and was directed by someone else, or if it never existed at all.

### One Foot in the Grave

Beck filmed a music video for the song Forcefield, along with a number of other songs on One Foot, but the only one that has resurfaced was the video for Forcefield, after it was randomly posted on his website years later. According to the collaborator of the album and owner of K Records Calvin Johnson, videos were made for numerous songs on the album, including previously mentioned Forcefield, Asshole, Sleeping Bag and Burnt Orange Peel. Forcefield was the only one to resurface.

## Mellow Gold

   Videos for Whiskeyclone, Hotel City 1997 and Steal My Body Home are confirmed to exist, but lost.

## One Foot in the Grave

Videos for Asshole, Sleeping Bag and Burnt Orange Peel are confirmed to exist, but lost.

## Mutations

Mutations did not have any videos produced for the album, as DGC didn't want to market it as the successor to Odelay.

## The Information

Videos were made for every song on this album, but most content online for these videos have been blocked.
Bottle of Wine

**Bottle of Wine** is the ninth track on Banjo Story.

## Description

This mostly forgettable but catchy song is about Beck longing for just another bottle of wine.

the lyrics are great, and describe the need for a bottle of wine and the escapism from drinking one.

## Lyrics

Bottle of wine, bottle of wine

Where did you go and lose my mind?

I spent my change, I fell out of line

Down in the bottom of a bottle of wine

I mowed their carpet, I drank the shampoo

I smoked the wallpaper, sniffed all the glue

I turned on the strobe lights, the vibrating bed

I drank the wine for to straighten my head

Bottle of wine, bottle of wine

Where did you go and lose my mind?

I spent my change, I fell out of line

Down in the bottom of a bottle of wine

Well, I just might get the urge to roll out of bed

Dog is moaning and your girlfriend is dead

Dishes in the sink and your body starts to itch

Take out the trash, you fall in the ditch

Bottle of wine, bottle of wine

Where did you go and lose my mind?

I spent my change, I fell out of line

Down in the bottom of a bottle of wine

Bottle of Blues

**Bottle of Blues** is the eighth track on Mutations.

## Description

Like most songs on Mutations, Bottle of Blues is an old song that Beck dug up.  For the album, Beck and his band put together a fairly straightforward arrangement.

The song seems to be about impotence, sexual or otherwise. Like most blues lyrics, it's open to different interpretations and emotions. Many of the lines have a sexual nature ("I get higher and lower like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot"). Even one of the lines in the song has impotence in it ("Holding hands with an impotent dream"). That line alone clarifies a lot of the other lines in the song, from "a tired soldier with nothing to shoot" and "a brothel of fake energy" to even the title. A line Beck borrowed from Woody Guthrie takes on a new meaning here ("ain't it hard, ain't it hard"). Some of the other feelings and lines in the song ("I've been waiting for a year, or a day" or "I'm over the rails and out of the race") are results of the impotence.

Definitely a strange song, like most of his blues songs. In addition to the other lines, Beck uses "Tell my Mama I'm a hundred years late / I'm over the rails and out of the race" and "on a backwards river" to explain how he's feeling.

## Lyrics

I just found me a bottle of blues

Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe

Ain't it hard, ain't it hard to want somebody

Who doesn't want you?

And I've been waiting for a year or a day

Some strange weather must be blowing my way

'Cause I got no mind to go or to stay

Or be left behind

Holding hands with an impotent dream

In a brothel of fake energy

Put a nickel in a graveyard machine

I get higher and lower

I get higher and lower

Like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot

And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues

Eagles drone and pose alone

Like black balloons all banged and blown

On a backwards river

The infidels shiver in the stench of belief

And tell my momma I'm a hundred years late

I'm over the rails and out of the race

The crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw

Are ringing in my ears

Holding hands with an impotent dream

In a brothel of fake energy

Put a nickel in a graveyard machine

I get higher and lower

I get higher and lower

Like a tired soldier with nothing to shoot

And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues

*There's nothing that I won't play'**Uh huh, yea what?***

Well I just found me a bottle of blues

Some strange comfort for a soul to soothe

Ain't it hard, ain't it hard to want somebody

Who doesn't want you?

Holding hands with an impotent dream

In a brothel of fake energy

Put a nickel in a graveyard machine

I get higher and lower

I get higher and lower

Like a tired solder with nothing to shoot

And nowhere to lose this bottle of blues

Bottle of blues

*All my folks in the back row*
Burn

RTD

(4, last listed song)

**Burn,** also known as **You Can Be So Careless**, is the seventh track on Banjo Story.

## Description

This is another pretty forgettable Banjo Story song. The lyrics mostly don't make sense, but some still do and are amusing. Some of the lyrics are self-deprecating. The song is usually referred to as "You Can Be So Careless" which was the name given to the track by bootleggers, but the original Banjo Story artwork lists it as "Burn", and it's the official name. The name probably refers to the insults, or burns in the song.

## Lyrics

I was a brush stroke in the plan, an expendable man

A stepping stone, a houseplant

No goodbye, no thanks, just left to fill in the blanks

Honey, if the shoe fits, you better walk on

'Cause you can be so careless

Always change your mind

Will you look at that girl down on the street?

Making every little part of me sick to see

That killjoy kind of loving they teach

I'd rather be a drip in the bathroom sink

'Cause you can be so careless

Always change your mind

I was all for the damage, junk all in the hand

Cast off with that flick of the hand

I'm not your donkey, nor your jack-ass

Matchstick burnin' in a field of grass

'Cause you can be so careless

Always change your mind

Be hateful, be kind and be burned

Everything behind me burn

Be hateful, be kind and be burned

Everything behind me, now burn
Dead Melodies

**Dead Melodies** is the seventh track on Mutations.

## Description

Like most songs on Mutations, Dead Melodies was written a couple of years before it was recorded. The recording is very well done and expands on the original tune.

The first line, "Where will you go when this day is over?" immediately pulls the listener in, and sets the tone of the song. The day is over, a gamblers winnings have been lost, the snakes are out.

In the second verse, there's a bit of reflection. "Seasons of strangers" is a unique, but uneasy phrase. As does the next phrase, "doldrums are pounding," which is clearly a pun, but also displays emotion, as doldrums are "a period of depression or unhappy listlessness; a period of stagnation or slump." That basically describes the entire song.

In the last verse, Beck jumps from the reflection to the present. Whatever is happening, must stop. "Engineer, slow down this train." Sometimes in blues songs like these, trains represent life. "Cinders in chaff laugh at the moon" may seem hard to understand at first, but it's actually another clever phrase. Beck is playing off of 2 definitions of "chaff":

1. "the refuse of burned corn or straw" (through which the train would be traveling)
2. "to make fun in a good-natured way" ("laugh at the moon")

Beck ends the song singing about dead birds, rotting in trees, one more image of decay and despair. The song seems to be about being at the lowest possible moment. Through the verses, Beck looks at it from different angles, forward, looking back at it, and then looking directly at it.

## Lyrics

Where will you go when this day is over?

A gambler's purse lays on the road straight to your door

The snakes have gone crazy tonight

Winding their way out of sight

A laugh, a joke, a sentiment wasted

Seasons of strangers that come and go

Doldrums are pounding, cheapskates are clowning this town

Who could disown themselves now?

Engineer, slow down this old train

Cinders and chaff laugh at the moon

Night birds will cackle, rotting like apples on trees

Sending their dead melodies to me

Soul Sucked Dry

**Soul Sucked Dry** is the tenth track on Golden Feelings.

## Description

This is just another small recording on Golden Feelings. In the song, Beck plays some bluesy electric guitar in a deep voice, with a little bit of harmonica. There's also some crying in the background for some reason.

## Lyrics

My soul sucked dry, now my soul been sucked dry

The emptiness surrounds me, bitterness crowds me

Emptiness surrounds me, bitterness crowds me

With my soul's sucked dry, ow my soul sucked dry

When I lift my head, my soul sucked dry

Emptiness surrounds me, bitterness crowds me

She is gettin' flaky

Doesn't want to take me

She's a special lady

Gonna shake and bake me

## Trivia

* The lyric "Gonna shake and bake me" would later be reused on Sweet Sunshine.

**No Money No Honey** is the fourth track on Golden Feelings, and the seventh track on Stereopathetic Soulmanure.

## Description

Beck once said at a concert that he would play this song at coffeehouses, trying to get the audience to sing along. He apparently still tries to get the audience to sing, as he still played this song live up until around 2003.

On the Stereopathetic version, it's a duet between Beck and Ken, a homeless man who also sang on Waitin' for a Train.

## Lyrics

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No honey no money

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

No money no honey

**Trouble All My Days** is the fifth track on Golden Feelings, the twenty-first track on Fresh Meat + Old Slabs, a B-Side of Pay No Mind (Snoozer) and Devils Haircut, and a track on the deluxe edition of Odelay.

## Description

This track opens up with a sample of classical music, and then Tony Robbins giving his "canceled check" (which would later inspire Beck to write a song about it), and then the actual song starts. The song is based off of "Trouble, I've Had All My Days" by Mississippi John Hurt. The phrase is fairly common in the blues, and Hurt is one of Beck's favorite Blues musicians. It is complemented by a pretty horrendous and untuned guitar. Apparently, unlike most Golden Feelings songs, Beck must've liked this one so much that it was released multiple times, on Fresh Meat + Old Slabs as well as B-Sides to Pay No Mind (Snoozer) and Devils Haircut.

## Lyrics

No no I got trouble all my days

No I got trouble all my days

No no I got trouble all my days

No no I got trouble all my days

Hey hey yeah, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Olde English

## Olde English (Chewin' Like Gilligan)

**Olde English,** also known as **Chewin' Like Gilligan**, **Chillin' Like Gilligan** and **Talkin' Shit Blues**, is the tenth track on Banjo Story.

## Description

This song is mostly nonsensical lyrics, and Beck is most likely adlibbing the song as he goes on. You could say it's his first try at hip-hop or even a precursor to Loser, but he still had a long way to go. The song has only banjo and percussion, and Beck is just reading the lyrics, not singing. The song has no plot or narrative, and, again, is mostly nonsensical. This song is the first appearance of a lot of recurring "things" found in Beck songs.

## Lyrics

Bottle up pain and you were better off dead

And I would rather love your daughter, but it's gone to my head

Jukebox playing with a notion to explode

Drag racers bent on bending the road

Entertainers with no charms to speak of

A circus of fleas, a band of spooks

Neighborly ghosts looking at you

Heavy metal music like a ratchet to a truck

Glowing in the dark and you're just out of luck

Walking with a suitcase and a crack pipe to boot

Throw the dead bodies down a laundry chute

Breaking bones and shattering knives

Plow your face into a field, bury your eyes

I packed my bags, I got out of town

Yeah, I took up with a traveling show, but I couldn't stick around

'Cause the funhouse went all up in flames

And the carousel horses leaped out from their chains

I took a car, I was ready to drive

I put down the top, I was more dead than alive

One foot on the brakes, yeah one foot on the gas

One foot on the brakes, a pocket calculator to count all your mistakes

All nervous words that fall into a pile

Living in some personality with no particular style

I speak the sound of hollow logs and walk the dance of rags

Tombstone skateboards and underwear flags

Hide in a trailer park for a year or so

Got some groceries, waiting for the beard to grow

The old man next door said you won't live long

I'm telling you, I said I know I always knew this was true

But I been seeing things, and I been shedding a lot of skin

And I found myself in a back of a burned-out fire engine

And then I took a long way at a dead end

The end of the line, born of no name, the hard luck child

Too many times caught between the extremes

Bullfight blow flies border magazines

A hundred eyes with a quarter of a brain

Rock and roll, post-coital let down again

Flamethrower, TV dinner electric frozen grin

Dragstrip, bullwhip, rocket ship tailspin

Bluegrass, eyeglass, motion picture jam

Cannonball, summersault, faker in the can

I'm wound up, plastic wino breathing haze

Umbrella shadows white light daze

Convenient store fruit pie deranged men and more

One-armed folksinger chewing on the floor

Ragtime whiskeyman, bottle of snuff

Box of junk and a crocket of stuff

Chillin' like Gilligan!

## Trivia

* The line "More dead than alive" would later be reused on High 5 (Rock the Catskills).
Feelings

**Feelings** is the eleventh track on Golden Feelings.

## Description

This is a sort of title track from Golden Feelings, and it contrasts from the albums noisy feel, being a calm and peaceful song. It was probably improvised through the entire song, and uses many rhymes, most of the time the same ones.

## Lyrics

Feelings

I have so many feelings

But I know that I'm feeling

I'm dealing with all of these feelings

Feelings, oh feelings

Lord I have so many feelings

And I know that I am feeling

Dealing with all of these feelings

I'm feeling all of these feelings

Lord, I know that I'm feeling

I'm trying to feel all of my feelings

Feelings that make me feel

That there's something more to be real

Lord I'm dealing with these feelings

Feelings, feelings, feelings

All of these feelings when everything is turning

Turning into my feelings

I know that something is feeling

All my feelings

**Stereopathetic Soulmanure** is the second studio album by Beck. The album is characterized by it's goofy songs, it's long tracklist, and it's experimentation. It was released in February of 1994, two weeks before the release of Beck's next album, Mellow Gold, and would be one of three albums he released that year, the third being One Foot in the Grave.

The album shows strong folk influence, and is a lo-fi recording of anti-commercial nature. It is mostly made up of home recordings, studio recordings, live performances, field recordings, sound collages, and abstract noise experiments.

As of 2008, the album has sold over 146,000 copies in the United States.

## Track Listing

If a track is *italics,* it means that the track is unlisted.
Detonate

**Detonate,** also known by it's bootleg names **Talkin' Demolition Expert** and **Talkin' Beck Blues** is the third track on Banjo Story.

## Description

This song is Beck's take on the genre Talkin' Blues. One of Beck's earliest influences was Woody Guthrie, and he pioneered in that genre. Back in 1988, Beck only knew some Woody Guthrie covers, but he eventually learned from other musicians how to write his own songs, which resulted in this and the other tracks on Banjo Story. Most of Talkin' Blues songs contain humorous lyrics over an acoustic guitar, with lots of rhyming followed by irregular lines, usually as a response to what was just said. Here, Beck writes a song with many humorous lines, as well as some disturbing ones too.

## Lyrics

I'm a strapped-in loner, I was heedin' that shame

You never shake my hand, you never know my name

A crackhouse cooling, just chewin' the floor

I pass out cold and I go look for some more

I got all kinds of devices I'm gonna detonate

Got a .45 magazine, rag of gasoline

Phone booth, gold tooth, a pigeon wing

Got bazookas, hand grenades

Firebomb weddings, spray down parades

I used to work in an offic e in the outskirts of town

Routine, the grindstone grinding me down

So I picked up a filing cabinet and threw it at my boss

And then I took him outside and hung him on a cross

Then I kept walking on down the road

Oh yeah

Well fourteen uzis later and a bottle of rum

A cigarette lighter and a live chicken

Got in all kinds of mischief

Some kinds I won't tell, I did all kinds of things

Well I went into the Peekaboo Hut

To watch the lady have sex with a mutt

And then, uh, then I, then I,

I had a demolition derby with some shopping carts

And I killed every pop star in the top-twenty charts

I like to hijack people

I like to jump through movie screens at the best part

I was reading that hardcore magazine

*101 Erotic Things To Do With Bologna*

Then I went home and I painted the TV screen

On the old black and white TV

And I painted a picture on it

And I watched it all night long

I ate a live dog and I buried his bone

Then I carved out a tombstone

I got shell-casings in the freezer

A money belt in the drawer

I stole some blank checks

And I used them down at the comic book store

I read a lot of comic books
Templars of Vara

The Templars of Vara are a major faction primarily located on Arven. They are dedicated defenders of the Goddess Vara. Additionally, they provide economic support and rarely, military support to the seven kingdoms of Arven. The Templars trace their roots back to the Age of Creation under the Arvenian Empire.

## History

The Templars of Vara were created during the Age of Creation by the Arvenian Empire in response to the growing threat of sorcerers. Initially, they struggled to successfully fight against the magic sorcerers held. However, following the coronation of Detricius Rex by Vara, they succeeded in wiping sorcery off of Arvenius. They would later find and close the Magic Plane's entrance to the Material world.

### The Battle for Revana

Following their success in Arvenius, the Templars set their sights on Revana and begin building the Holy Fleet of Vara. After five years, the fleet is completed and they begin their journey to Revana. Severe casualties are sustained during their voyage and very few Templars make it to the shores of Revana. Here, the surviving wizards of Revana are discovered and assist them in conquering the continent. After claiming the coastline completely, they found the entrance to the Plane of Magic deeper within the continent's jungles.

### The Battle of Raven's Claw

Operation Divinity, otherwise known as the Battle of Raven's Claw, was the final battle fought within the Age of Heroes. It lasted for several months and only with the help of the wizards, was the battle finally ended with the closure of the Plane of Magic.

### The Calamity

During the calamity, the Templars of Vara were destroyed almost instantly. Many of their ships were sunk instantaneously and the few Templars to survive the initial ordeal were heavily scarred, physically and mentally. The Templar headquarters located on Arvenius was destroyed with the capital of the Arvenian Empire.

### Rebirth

Following the sudden end of the calamity, few recalled the Templar order and even less survived through it. It was not until Vara herself reappeared was the order reformed. The Templars were crucial in stabilizing the continent, using both their military might and access to divine weapons to bring a swift end to the petty warlords. After the stabilization of the continent, the Templars withdrew into their current borders and have become a balancing power within the regions of Lake Varluvia.

Bad Energy

**Bad Energy** is the sixth track on Golden Feelings.

## Description

This is a pretty forgettable song from Golden Feelings. It's probably a filler song, used to fill up space on the album. On this track, Beck speaks in a numbly voice, with no musical accompaniment, other than a quiet guitar in the background. After Beck says the title of the song, you get what sounds like, well, Bad Energy.

## Lyrics

*Hey I know who you are! But you don't know me*

Talking all shit, got a lot of shit on my mind

Got some bad feelings on me

Special people coming to me

Fast fast people coming to my house

Tellin' me things I already know

Some bad shit, don't want to touch it

It's like a big empty city full of toasters

Bad energy

Diamond in the Sleaze

(2)

Nobody's Fault but My Own:

One of These Days

(2)

(4)

**Diamond in the Sleaze** is a B-Side found on the Cold Brains and Nobody's Fault but My Own singles.

## Description

This song was recorded after Mutations released, but it was still included as a B-Side on some of the singles. The song is highlighted by the acoustic guitar and flute, which give the song a nice, laid back groove. Beck plays all the guitars and also plays bass.

In the song, Beck uses numerous musical images ("*the keyboard of your memory is coming apart*" and "*can you hear the saxophones peeling the paint?*") as well as alluding to success ("*a life lived under glass*" and "*a diamond in the sleaze*"). The lion shaking it's mane could also be a reference to a performer. Or maybe he's just singing about a lion. Who knows.

## Lyrics

A diamond in the sleaze, down on bended knees

A thousand grizzled nerves hanging loose at the ends

It's later than you think, it's gone before you blink

Out of the crosshairs, into the crowd

Do you want to see me suffering?

Do you want to see me suffering?

How could you let a good thing go?

How could you let a good thing go, go, oh?

A lion in a cage shakes his golden mane

He doesn't care who notices where he's gonna lie

He came to beg a meal, you're older than you feel

The keyboard of your memory is coming apart

It's a weight upon my shoulder

It's a weight upon my shoulder

How could you let a good thing go?

How could you let a good thing go, go, oh?

I won't ever let you go

I won't ever let you go

The doctor takes a rest inside a hornet's nest

With Polaroids of patients who refuse to be cured

A life lived under glass and stolen Cadillacs

Can you hear the saxophones peeling the paint?

Do you want to see me suffering?

Do you want to see me suffering?

How could you let a good thing go?

How could you let a good thing go, go, oh?

I won't ever let you go

I won't ever let you go

I won't ever let you go

I won't ever let you go

Varga

Varga was the first city since the end of the Age of Chaos to form. It is currently home to close to 75,000 citizens, making it the largest known city in Arven. It is built atop the former ruins of, what many assume to be, the fallen capital of the Arvenian Empire. Many explorers travel within the largely unexplored caverns beneath the city each year in search of treasures.
Age of Chaos

The Age of Chaos also known as The Calamity is a period of time that has mostly seemed to have vanished. It is unknown how long it lasted for and all attempts to date it has ended in failure. Many consider time itself to be broken during this period from the catastrophic changes that took place.

Scholars consider the Age of Chaos to officially begin with the sealing of the plane of magic. It is currently unknown what caused the surge of magic to flow into the realm. However, the leading theory is that the closure of the Plane of Magic was the leading factor.

## Effects

New effects from the Age of Chaos are discovered frequently in a historical sense.

The biggest and most radical change was the creation of the races that inhabit Amerith. Prior to the calamity, all sentient beings belonged to a race called the Progenitors.

The most noteworthy effects include the disappearance of the Plane of Magic, the fall and subsequent rebirth of Vara and the creation of the new gods.
Detricius Rex

Detricius Rex was born during the Age of Creation. He would later go on to become the first hero of Vara and take command of the Templars of Vara.

## Personal Life

Very few of his writings have survived the Calamity but, it is known that he was born to a family within a small village. At the age of twelve, his entire village and family were slain in the midst of The War of Sorcerers. A lone soldier who survived the ensuing battle took him as his own and taught him how to defend himself.

## Templars of Vara

After several years, he joined the First Templar Order and began to quickly rise up the ranks. One night in a dream on the eve of a bloody battle, he was contacted by Vara. She gave him the task of reuniting her children and ending the sorcerer plague. She laid her hands on his head and he was gifted divine power. Using this divine gift, he used both fear and awe to smite the sorcerers into submission. Within an hour of the battle's start, it ended with far fewer casualties than projected and the sorcerer's surrender. He was named the Hero of Vara and given total control over the Templars.

Within two years, the sorcerers on Arvenius surrendered and the Holy Fleet of Vara was under construction. Following his success in Arvenius, he ordered the invasion of Revana. After landing on the shores of Revana, he allowed the surviving wizards to join the Templar ranks. At the end of Operation Ravenclaw, he was mortally wounded during the final assault on the portal. Despite his wounds, he successfully defended the ritual. After the closure, the Calamity began and he disappeared.

## Post Calamity

Despite disappearing at the end of the Calamity, there have been a number of rumors circulating through Arven. Some extraordinarily powerful paladins and clerics often claim to see him as an angel within their dreams. Additionally, he is rumored to suddenly appear before lost or helpless people and defend them before suddenly disappearing once more.
Elves

Elves are a race on Arven. They are often attributed as the sorcerers who fled to safety with Vara during the Age of Creation. There are two distinct subraces of elves, the city elves, and the wood elves.

## Biology

Elves are biologically immortal and cannot die of old age. They are still required to eat and drink. Elves do not need to sleep and instead enter a trance-like state for several hours each day. They are often taller than humans, ranging from 5'8"-6'8". They are slender and are often regarded by humans as very beautiful.

Elves reproduce at an extremely slow rate compared to the other races and elven children are rare. Elves are capable of interbreeding with humans, producing half-elves. Elves are considered children until they have at least lived through their first century but, are physically mature at the age of twenty.

Elves grow very little body hair and Elven men can only grow a short, thin beard.

## Culture

Elves are split into two cultures and ethnicities, the city elves, and the wood elves. Wood elves typically live within the Elven Hinterlands, a region home to grand forests and very few cities. Cities elves lack a distinct homeland and often live within human cities.

Cities elves are the most common type of elf seen by most within Arven. Cities elves thrive within large cities and often reach high ranking positions within intellectual communities in a relatively short period of time.

Wood elves are reclusive and distrustful of strangers, especially within their homeland. Wood elves use druidic magic to create intricate villages within the trees of the Hinterland.
New Gods

The New Gods are a number of gods and goddesses that arose during the Calamity. They were once great sorcerers during the Age of Heroes and due to their close ties to the plane of magic, were elevated to godhood. After the Calamity, they are assumed to have disappeared by many. However, small cults have been known to worship them and are whispered to be capable of summoning their patron.

Wood Elves

Wood elves are a sub race of elves that primarily live within small nomadic tribes.

## Culture

Wood elves are constantly moving, very rarely staying within one location for longer then a month. Most wood elves are commonly driven by a sense of wanderlust and tradition, travelling similar paths to that of their ancestors.
Druids

Druids are people who have learned to manipulate plant and animal life through the use of natural magic. Despite magic being reviled by most people, druidic magic is neither feared nor hated and is met with a cautious curiosity among commoners. Several druidic circles exist within the Elven Hinterlands.
Orcs

Orcs are a race that mainly inhabits the Barberious Wilds but small settlements are located throughout Arven. Orcs are hated and reviled by Wood Elves due to long-standing hostilities and skirmishes between the two races.

## Biology

Orcs can live up to 60 years but many do not reach this age, preferring to fall in combat to a friendly rival or an honored friend. Orcs typically are 6-7 feet tall with most falling between there. Orcs reach maturity at the age of 15 and adopt an adult name at this time.

## Culture

Orcs typically live within small nomadic tribes, moving from region to region. However, small orcish settlements are not unheard of and are often located where game animals are particularly plentiful.

### Religion

Orcs most often do not follow any religion but the few who do are known to be extreme zealots dedicated to their cause.
Dwarves

Dwarves are the second most common race within Arven. They are renowned for their great halls built within the mountains and their dragon kings.

## Biology

Dwarves live to be close to 300 years old and are often considered adults by the time they are 20. Dwarves typically are a short, stout race.

## Culture

Dwarves reside within great kingdoms located deep within the mountains. Most dwarven kingdoms are home to at least one dragon who rules over them.
