The world I run is called Mayness (Pronounced Manez) which is a world of high fantasy and technology not unlike an early Diesel Punk late Steampunk era. Maynees really has no true religion or main pantheon of gods. The reason is said to be due to a war of gods in which the 99 gods of light sealed the gods of darkness within a celestial prison which caused the shattering of the Moon but at the cost of their lives and their blood mixed with the land and then cascading through the chosen and creating the Ebon. Each Chosen carries within them the power of a scion that other Chosen can take by beheading. When the power is absorbed, it is added to the victorious Chosen's power. Yet it comes at a cost; this cost is becoming malformed. The more powerful a Chosen, the more deformed they can be. As of yet the only chosen have been from the so called "noble" races of Human, Elf, Dwarf, Gnome and Halfling. Hence why these races are treated better than the other races in the five recognized Kingdoms of Zeist, Entitas, Flatus,Monstrum and Bellator. Each of the kingdoms have their own distinct culture - for example, Flatus is known for its technological innovation,Entitas for its rough-and-tumble lifestyle, and Zeist for its diversity. There are other "kingdoms" such as Stormbreach and Deismaar-Ra. There are also six continents, many not fully explored due to the attacks of the Ebon that threaten to devour all the races. Ebon are an aberration of other creatures that are created by unknown means. They just spawn from now where but are said to feed off all of the negative emotions such as sorrow, hopelessness, anger, and the like. As of to date there are no known "humanoid" Ebon.
