Overview

The year is 1455 P.Y. (peaceful years; years date from the time that the monsters under the island were first imprisoned). The five nations, each ruled by a god or goddess, have gone through tumultuous times of peace and war. The gods respect each other’s power, though they may not always get along. Their people are, at times, prone to trivial skirmishes and battles to protect their honour.

Before the land was populated by the various gods’ acts of creation, Shaktai, the god of magic, created five beasts meant to control the other gods. The five beasts were formed sapping life force from each of the five gods. However, theses beasts became uncontrollable. The five gods agreed to imprison the beasts beneath an island that would be common to all, a neutral meeting spot. Before the beasts were imprisoned, the world was ravaged by constant destruction and chaos, preventing any form of civilization to flourish.

Prior to the gods’ involvement, humans had existed in Teogaia. The beasts greatly diminished their numbers, however, and the gods sought to build out their own nations with creatures of their own design. Though the nations are split now, it took a long time to arrive at this point. Bold conquests and attempts as assassinating each other’s leaders were common at one point. The gods eventually settled back after being satisfied with what they had done, and were content to, on the surface, involve themselves only with their own nations, though malicious subterfuge still remains.
