- Theogony of Omega,
-
- being an explication of the Ways of the Gods of Omega.
-
- Know ye, O ignorant ones, that Omega is the battleground of the mighty forces
- of Law and Chaos. Powerful are the Champions and Avatars of the two great
- forces, but most powerful of all are the Gods who, it is rumored, have
- been summoned from other planes to represent the two forces.
-
- On the side of Law:
-
- Odin, God of Vengeance -- followers of Odin vow to eradicate the taint
- of chaos wherever it may be found. Odin rewards his faithful with the
- power to strike strong blows against the Legions of Chaos.
-
- Athena, Goddess of Justice -- devotees of Athena, while prepared to
- fight the forces of chaos, choose a more intellectual approach to the
- battle, marshalling the more subtle powers of magic in their striving.
-
- On the side of Chaos:
-
- Set, God of Destruction -- worshippers of Set will follow any path to
- destroy and corrupt Law and its minions. Set teaches his followers powers
- equally as potent as those of Odin.
-
- Hecate, Goddess of Illusion -- Hecate matches Athena's wisdom with
- deception, and matches Athena's defensive powers with destructive
- abilities.
-
- Followers of any of these deities must be careful to keep to the true path --
- the wrath of a God is fearsome.... It is also said the Gods are jealous --
- honoring another deity, even of the same alignment, is an extremely bad idea.
- On the other hand, any act against a God of the opposite alignment would
- be looked on kindly by your patron deity.
-
- It should be noted that there are still other Gods of Omega. The Druids
- think themselves beyond the struggles of Law and Chaos and attempt to
- maintain a Balance between the two -- they are despised by all the
- aligned Gods. The ArchDruid is said to command powers greater than
- any other cleric.
-
- The mysterious Lords of Destiny are said to preside over the struggles
- of Law and Chaos as a referee rules a bout. Their powers are said to
- be extremely subtle and pervasive, and while no one has ever seen this
- power displayed, the self-appointed clerics of these mysterious beings
- claim great abilities. Certain it is that the aligned Gods have never
- acted against the followers of the Lords of Destiny, though whether
- this is because of their power, or because they offer no threat, is
- unknown.
