The gods are gone from Terra - or they never were. Many still remember the gods and their actions, but many doubt they even existed. Temples lay cold as the stone they were built from, or reduced to rubble in the wars and looting that inevitably followed. The world became sad, dark - the clouds wept constantly. Crops died, causing populaces to starve. Tunnels flooded, forcing it's refugees to climb to the surface world for the first time in centuries. Animals became monsters, no longer held by the restraint of the gods.
Many still cite the existence of the gods - the echoes of their voices in the old temples. The odd formations of islands, mountains, tunnels. The way everything seems to have been given a form or function - the mathematics that governed existence, only recently found by some devotees of the once-mighty science goddess, Marie. They claim that the gods have not vanished, but are hiding.
There are skeptics, however. The Grand Society of Atheists moves to stamp out all of this religious nonsense, promoting 'logic' as the highest of ideals to promote. A group referring to themselves as 'The Gods on Terra' claim to be the god's chosen ones - blessed with incredible power... yet, they weave devastation and greed throughout the world.
Dosgear City, widely claimed to be the world's capital of technology, is a melting pot of different races, cultures... and religions. Originally the place founded upon Marie's worship, but the town has grown to a grand sphere of commerce in the last thirty years, since the disappearance of the gods. While the watery city that originally held the name 'Dosgear' still stands forlornly in the water, half-finished... the new city stands on the shores of the continent, looking out to it.
This is where our story begins - in Dosgear City. Most of you are still devoted to the gods, opposing the nay-saying of the Society of Atheists and the darkness of the Gods on Terra. One day, you get a letter...
"To a Believer:
Whatever your belief may be, I would like to inform you that you will have
a chance to prove your heart right - or wrong - before the works of the
entire world. I would like to meet you and the rest of the individuals who
got this letter out front of the Glorious Tower - where once divinely
gifted spellcasters learned their craft, far greater than we now can
achieve. I hope to see you in good health.

Note: While it is possible to play a Society of Atheists character, you may not play a God on Terra. While both are antagonists to the player characters, the Gods on Terra are the main villains, and super-powerful.
Races of Terra
While there are a great deal of races on Terra, only a few are sponsored by the Gods, and thus are considered 'main' races. While you are free to play whatever you really wish, these races are the 'Chosen' of the gods, and will be treated as such. Any of these races and choose to worship another god, though this tends to be rare.
Humans - Chosen of Marie. Adaptable, flexible, smart, and fast-breeding. Humans have a great deal of freedom, and are - for the most part - expected to be everywhere.
Elves - Chosen of Azilon. Evil, sharp-toothed creatures from the jungles of the world. Steeped in black magic, they enjoy chaos and death.
Orcs - Chosen of Con Brio. Spontaneous and fun, orcs are known throw the best parties. Many are musicians, and their culture is flexible.
Kobolds - Chosen of Ghraun - Short dog-like creatures. While they can only communicate in doglike sounds, they understand other languages. Known for sturdiness over intelligence.
Minotauri - Chosen of Brynjar. Honorable and powerful, the Minotauri are hailed as powerful warriors, and are honored for their mercy to strong opponents.
Dragons - Chosen of Slassarath. Though their power has waned in the time away from their dualistic deity, they are still formidable...
Halflings - Chosen of Soliel. Grieving the loss of their beloved goddess, many halflings still mourn in their ocean city. Most of them, however, scour the globe in search for her.
Gnomes - Chosen of Frustor. Sneaky, clever, foxlike creatures. Highly skilled illusionists and trapsmiths. It's said there are two types of people in the world: people who distrust gnomes, and dead people.
Other - If you are a non-Chosen race, I'd like to know about it so I can stick it up here!
