STORY: Centuries ago, your people came to Varannar from Andoria to escape persecution by the new Church of The Eleven, as the first Godswar ravaged the Empire. They founded a majestic city, hidden underground for peace and safety, which was ever known only as "The City of the Ancients". Obsessed with death, your people built grand underground tombs throughout Varannar to bury their dead. Your culture believes life is just a temporary journey, and death is eternal. Each life is spent preparing its own death, building its own tomb in which to reside for eternity in death. You are Tolassian.
During the construction of a tomb, your great-grandfather discovered a strange glowing ore under Mount Orogg. The Numina Stones. 5 stones were retrieved, and given to 5 Tolassian Elders. The Numina Stones contained unlimited, raw magic, and as such threatened the entire world. To contain their power, the 5 Elders fused with the Stones and went to sleep forever in The Temple of the Sleepers.
One day, your brother Tol left The City with his friends Arbenos, Nivaria and Thelume. They wanted to see The Sleepers for themselves, to know if the legends were true. They never came back...
Months later, you heard your brother Tol's voice in your mind. Everyone in The City heard it. Tol said: "From now on, may Life be eternal in Death!" Tol had done it, you knew. He had found The Sleepers, took one of their Numina Stone and fused with its power. But he didn't go to sleep. He was awake! A true god was born!
Years passed by since Tol's Blessing, and life became eternal in death, unchanging. No new life would ever be born of a Tolassian. No babies would ever be born again... But now, when a Tolassian passed away, they would rise again, alive in death, eternal!
Alas, even a god like Tol could not withstand betrayal. When his friends, The Three Traitors Arbenos, Nivaria and Thelume, also took Numina Stones and became gods, they betrayed Tolassia, they betrayed Tol. They defeated him, shattered his Black Mirror into countless shards and broke his Crown, and Tol was forever mangled...
Centuries have passed. You died a long time ago, yet you are alive in death eternally, thanks to your brother Tol's Blessing. But new life has infested Varannar a century ago, refugees from Andoria's destruction. They breed like vermin and toss their dead into the gutter. The "Warm Ones" have no respect for life nor death. You tried to offer them Tol's Blessing, but The Three Traitors protect them from Tol's waning power...
This morning, there was a miracle from Tol! One of those despicably long-lived Muud'ari alien was found traveling in the forest near your buried City of the Ancients. A young one, looking for some inheritance. Muud'ari were too powerful to be messed with, every Tolassian knew that. But that one was... an idiot, defenseless youngling! Finally, you thought, a warm vessel worthy of Tol!
You ordered your Tolassian servants to capture the Muud and bring it back to The City. There you performed the sacred Rebirth Ritual, and took over its body. Your old bones crumbled to dust as your soul entered the Muud'ari's marvelous body, now yours forever. This alien species was even stronger than you imagined!
Your master plan is now in motion.
A new God of Death shall be born. You will establish a Church of Tol in Nivarian, perform the Chosen One Ritual and become Tol's High Priest. With Tol's power coursing through your warm Muud'ari veins, find the Fifth Sleeper and perform the Ascension Ritual: Kill them, absorb their Numima Stone into your body, and ascend to divinity! Become the new God of Death!!!
BUILD A CHURCH OF TOL:
To build a Church of Tol, find and purchase a worthy building in Nivarian.
- LIBRARY: Fill one of its coffers with books: Ancient Tolassian Tomes, books of necromancy and other ancient tomes of great historical value.
- RELIQUARY: Fill the other coffer with relics: Black Shards from the Eye of Tol, Purple Medallions, skulls, and human remains.
Your church won't be finished until its Library is full of books and its Reliquary is full of relics worthy of Tol.
*It is strictly forbidden to read ANCIENT TOLASSIAN TOMES. You must showcase them in your Church of Tol's Library. Only as you perform the Chosen One Ritual will you be allowed to read the tomes.
CHOSEN ONE RITUAL:
To become High Priest of Tol and harness his power, you must perform the Chosen One Ritual. To be worthy, you must:
- Own a completed Church of Tol, its Library full of books and Reliquary full of relics.
- Wear a full set of Tolassian Armor.
- Have a permanent Death Resist score of 179+.
- Have the Broken Crown of Tol in your possession, but never have worn it on your unworthy head.
Once you're ready, perform the ritual in your holy Church of Tol: read all Tolassian Tomes you have collected in your Library, then put the Broken Crown of Tol on your head for the first time. If your life isn't drained by the Crown, you have been deemed worthy. Congratulations, you are now the TOLASSIAN HIGH PRIEST OF TOL! (From now on, you must wear the Crown forever. But you can burn down your church now, you don't need it anymore.)
ASCENSION RITUAL:
Find the TEMPLE OF THE SLEEPERS, and open the sarcophagus of the FIFTH SLEEPER. To perform the Ascension Ritual, simply plunge a blade in the Fifth Sleeper's heart: the power of the last Numina Stone will flow from the Sleeper into your own body, and transform you into a NEW GOD OF DEATH!
