"Alright Timmy time to learn the story of our people."
"Alright Grandpa which one will it be tonight?"
"Tonight, we're going to learn about a man who called himself a God"
"YAAAAYY!!!! OH MY GOOD GODS I LOVE THIS STORY YAAY!!!"
"Timmy...If you do that again I will slap you straight through the wall do you understand?"
"Yes grandpa..."
"Good, now let me tell the story."
"A long time ago, before the world was destroyed and reformed into what is it today. There was a great and everlasting war between three groups of people. There were of course, the Humans. Except these humans aren't like the ones we have today. They would walk among us like stern parents among children. Back in the day humans commanding a vast and powerful form of magic long lost to the mages of today. Even the simplest of mages in the old days would make our greatest of wizards look feeble and childish. the same could be said about their swordsmanship. The warriors of old were both strong and fast, a deadly combination. It is said that they moved with the speed and veracity of lightning.
But sadly it is not so anymore. So many arts were lost during the great war. Maybe one day they'll be rediscovered, but for now we bumble around hopelessly lost in the dark.
Alongside these great and powerful men lived both Demon and Angels. The Demons a harsh and evil force in the world which was constantly trying to bring about destruction and end the human race. However we had Angels on our side. They shielded us from the darkness and taught us how to fight back. Without them all would have been lost to the demons and we wouldn't be here today."
"Wow grandpa whatever happened to the Angels? Did they kill all the Demons, are they ever coming back?"
"Timmy, what did I say. Shut up and let grandpa tell the story. By Moridans beard would you be silent. I don't know how your parents deal with you."
"Anyway was I was saying. The Angels had a leader, no one can remember his name now, but he was all powerful. It's said that he created all life on Ira. See, the Gods in those days roamed the cosmos looking for things to do. It's said that the Angel God found Ira a baren wasteland and breathed life into it. Which is where all of us come from. Dwarves, Humans, Elves all of us. But you see, there was a Druid who wanted that power for himself. So in a cunning trap he set with the Demons and their King, he grasped for power. In an attempt to kill the Angel Lord a great war raged upon the planet. It was Angels and Demons who fought all across the Land. But the Demon King and the Druid were destined to fail you see. Because the Druid was a broken and corrupt man who sided with the forces of evil. And Timmy, evil never wins. But the Druid tricked people using his evil magic into following him and the Demon king and on the day that they attack. The Angel Lord became angry and vengeful at the betrayal of his prized people, the Humans.
So with great sadness in his heart he destroyed us all. He killed all of the Demons, and all of the Humans that had gone to war against him. He trapped the Druid in a dark place called the Void and set about tearing the planet down. But he is a merciful Lord and chose to spare a few of the Humans in remote regions of the planet.
"Where is the Angel Lord now Grandpa?"
"Well Timmy, he left. That's why we have the new Gods. He left Ira and they came to rebuild the world in their image. But it's because of the Druid who wanted to be a God himself, the False God, that our world has left it's golden age.
"So Grandpa, are all Mages and Wizards bad?"
"Timmy, sometimes I swear, NO! Of course not. Just ones who call themselves Druids. Theres a cult of them who live on the grounds where the False God use to have his castle. But it's all gone now though so everything will be ok Timmy."
"Grandpa, tell me the story of the Eternal, I like that one he was a good guy."
"Next time Timmy it's time for bed."
"But Grandpa!"
"Timmy, I swear to the Gods if you don't go to bed RIGHT NOW I will feed you to the shrieking Mermaids who life off the coast!"
"Alright Grandpa which one will it be tonight?"
"Tonight, we're going to learn about a man who called himself a God"
"YAAAAYY!!!! OH MY GOOD GODS I LOVE THIS STORY YAAY!!!"
