BALDR: GODS

OLD GODS:
Most of the gods of old Earth died shortly before or during the Great Schism. Some believe that it was the death of so many gods which caused or allowed the destruction of old Earth. Whatever the truth of the Great Schism's cause, few doubt that many of the surviving gods provided vital help which allows humanity to endure among the fragmented realms. These remaining gods of old Earth are known as the Old Gods. Baldr is an Old God.

NEW GODS:
In the new world order, wizards with both great ambition and power seek to become gods. Those wizards who ascend to godhood after the Great Schism are called the New Gods by some. Unlike the Old Gods, however, the New Gods can lose their godhood if they do not tend to their followers.

Arenji, Taoist Immortal

Old sages say stillness is the path to wisdom. They lie. I sat until my legs turned to fire. Harmony offers nothing but weakness and loss. I say hold your anger in the crucible of your mind and let chaos enter, that the sound of your being may remake the world.

Ariianrhod, the Moonmaiden

Ariianrhod, the Moonmaiden

The "Wizard Gear" sat before me. Inelegant, bulky, it bore little resemblance to the supple garments I remembered from so long ago. I shook my head. Perhaps my memory was flawed. Had I actually seen the ancient devices? Or was my timeless mind playing tricks again? Clarity came so rarely since the Earth had shattered....

Baldr, God of Wonder & Progress

Baldr, God of Wonder & Progress

A black hole abruptly fills the arched portal on the dais. Where are the angels? Invisible hands grab at me, pulling me toward the darkness. Demons! They steal my breath! Blue light shatters the portal. I fall. Looking up, I see a haloed Wizard or Saint. He says, "Trust not the fools." Am I saved?
