"Really thats why I have conquered more territory than both you and Alsho have in a year."Darshe said

Godly Powers: Rain fire down from the heavens, cause plauges, suck the life out of mortals, those kind of things.
Bio: The jackal-god of mummification, he assisted in the rites by which a dead man was admitted to the underworld. Anubis was worshipped as the inventor of embalming and who embalmed the dead Osiris and thereby helping to preserve him that he might live again.
Anubis is portrayed as a man with the head of a jackal holding the divine sceptre carried by kings and gods; as simply a black jackal or as a dog accompanying Isis. His symbol was a black and white ox-hide splattered with blood and hanging from a pole. It's meaning is unknown.
Anubis had three important functions. He supervised the embalming of bodies. He received the mummy into the tomb and performed the Opening of the Mouth ceremony and then conducted the soul in the Field of Celestial Offerings. Most importantly though, Anubis monitored the Scales of Truth to protect the dead from deception and eternal death.
Early in Egyptian history, Anubis was a god of the dead. This role was usurped by Osiris as he rose in popularity.
The god of embalming is probably associated with the jackal due to the habits of jackals to lurk about tombs and graves. One of the reasons the early Egyptians sought to make their tombs more elaborate was to keep the bodies safe from the jackals lingering about the graves. It is only natural therefore that a god of mummification would be connected with them. By worshipping Anubis, the Egyptians hoped to invoke him to protect their deceased from jackals, and later, the natural decay that unprotected bodies endure.
Anubis was the son of Nephthys, and his father was Osiris. One myth says that Nephthys got Osiris drunk and the resultant seduction brought forth Anubis. Yet another says she disguised herself as Isis and seduced Osiris and subsequently gave birth to Anubis.

 

Another score for the Gods.
We need another two people and we can start.

The world is looking bright with the human plague gone and with all the new gods there are many that might make trouble one that has caused havoc is the God of War, Soruin. You along with your zombie hords arrive on earth near Cairo,Egypt.There you go start setting up shop in Cairo be warned though it is ruled by Anubis.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Here is Arash's story.
Arash's Quch's were once happy-go-lucky people who never bothered any buddy, but when Soruin started his worldly conquest he immediatly started going after the weakest race.Arash enraged at the ignorance of Soruin fought back driving back Soruins army.He decides to bring the fight to Soruin in an attempt to stop the God of War at its roots.Well there you go you can still reside in the Southern Coast's of the Caspian Sea getting ready for the fight.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Alright heres Armand's story.
Armand The God of Time was one of the mightiest gods alive, but when Soruin captured and tortured on of his Danketh, in hopes of using him as a allie.Only to make him one of his strongest enemys, while Soruin was at war with Ragolith and Arash, Armand on the other hand joined Soruin calculating, waiting for the right moment to strike.Welp there you go hope you like your part Armand.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Alright here you go Anubis.
Anubis was furius at Ragolith for invading his territory.For this he joined Soruin, the only being who could help cast out Ragolith and his Zombie hordes.Unfortunatly Soruin was in the middle of a war with one angry god and another who thought he should be punished.Fortunatly enough for Anubis Soruins territory was not far off from his, sending a emmisary to Soruin bering gifts.Soruin accepted and immediatly sent his Bor's for reinforcements.Well there you go.

Well there you guys go and you may begin.

 

a bit of explanation is neccecery i think(how to start). sorry never played godly games before lol.

 

Ragolith sat on his throne of Human bones, pondering as the screams of punished souls filled his caverns. He slumped himself over onto is open palm and sighed. bordom overtook him, he thrust himself up and ripped his chains off of his shoulder, throwing them at the top of the cave. A swirling vortex of sand and pure energy cotorized the sand into glass. He jumped up through the hole to see a vast expance of dessert. Underneith him a horde of zombie elite sand wraiths, dressed in Ripped black cloaks and carrieing scythes, unearthed them selves.
"Find the the jackles and there you will find anubis, once you do report back to me." said a low, growling voice with no feelings in it. And with that the sand wraiths we off, their rotting bodies contorting to burrow under the sand.
With another heavy sigh he jumped back to his underground domain, to wait.

 

Alright how to play:
--1:Its just like any other RPG but you have an army.
--2:You can recruit 100 soldiers form a barracks for 500 each(sorry to leave that out)
--3:You will personnaly lead your troops against the other gods.
--4o what you fell is natural for a god to do.

 

Armand, God of Time, prehaps eldest of all remaining gods, stood amungst the ice pillars of Antarctica. His coat flapped wildly in the frigid wind. Before him was a large block of Ice, magicly imbued to display specific areas of the world around them all. "War... Death, Chaos, Destruction. We, the last hope for utopia, we Gods could save this world, or destroy it." He sighed and turne to face several of his Danketh, "Go to Soruin, Inform him its time we talked." The winged and armored Vanguard bowed and flew off to complete their task, as Armand turned and looked back at the cube. As time passed his memory returned, he continued to remember more and more about his past, though it was still a blur, but this time it was not a memory that returned but a tune. "Today is the day, We die in the fight, None shall remain, To pass one more night, Now Valhalla's calling us, Immortal... We are Gods of War" He turned and walked toward his Headquaters, "Yes, we are Gods of War."

His people are as brutal and ruthless as Arcaelus himself.

Quarry- 300
Logging Company- 300
Castle- 1000
2 Barracks- 800
1 Battle Camp- 100
Remaining: 0

Godly Powers:

Plaque of Chaos- Arcaelus rises his sword high over his head, and brings it down into the ground, releasing Chaos Energy, which can only be described as a burst of black light that spreads far in every direction destroying, killing, and wrecking havoc upon anything it hits.

Power of Chaos- Allows a certain group of Orcs to move, fight, think, and kill far better for a certain amount of time. In this amount of time these Orcs are near invulnerable.

Chaos Reapers- Black spirits emerge out of the ground. Nothing can hit them or stop them. They can stay for as long as Arecaelus wishes but over some time they grow weak until finally they are just as good as the normal Orc and can be killed. They are fierce mages and have some fascinating abilities.

Shield of Darkness- When summoned a shield of darkness completely surrounds a group of Orcs protecting them from attack.

Bio: Arcaelus is a vile god that hates all other gods but him and all other species but his Orcs. Just like his Orcs, he loves to cause chaos in the world to disturb everyone else. He loves war and killing, and loves to torture and punish everyone. From time to time he does enjoy allying with fellow gods who will cause chaos as well, but will most likely stab them in the back when they don't expect him. Recently he has developed plans of joining the Soruin The God of War on his conquest to take over the world, so long as if it helps him cause chaos to all.

--------

Arcaelus sat upon a throne of Orc skulls he had forged himself. They were skulls of Orcs who had tried to betray Arcaelus in the past, or hadn't believed in following his chaotic ways. If anyone disagreed with Arcaelus or stood in his way, they were punished, tortured, and then violently killed in public. The usual fashion was to slice open their stomach, slice both of their legs, slice both of their arms, and then slice their throat, all while their arms and legs were tied to two posts. Then the crowd would laugh at the "criminals" as they slowly bled to death. There was even some fresh blood on some of the skulls.

Arcaelus laughed that same demonic chuckle he did every time he was growing close to doing something maniacal and chaotic. His throne of Orc skulls had two logs attached to the bottom, sharpened at the front and ends as if it were a giant spear. Four Orcs rested the log on their shoulders, and carried Arcaelus to his destination. An army of Orcs were located to the front and back of Arcaelus, marching through the Orc occupied Southern Europe. No other race took residence there, because if one tried they would be slaughtered. Even if one was successful they would be constantly tortured by the Orcs.

"Stop my minions," Arcaelus muttered. The entire Orc army, were in a perfect formation. They were in long lines marching side by side. And right as the

 

Soruin sat on his throne watching as the ambassador from Arcaelus rambled on about how together they could control the world.
Soruin had heard enough.
"I agree to his proposile but you left something out."Soruin said
"What your majesty?"The orc said
"The part about you slaming into the wall"Soruin said
The orc partly confused and partly scared cringed before Soruin's Height.
"Have mercy."The orc said
"Those who ask for mercy are not worthy of it."Soruin said punching the orc so hard it sent him through his castles wall.
"Take the body, return it to Arcaelus, tell him I agree to his proposle."Soruin said siting back down.
"Yes your majesty."The Bor said
"Your majesty you have another ambassador, this time its from Armand."Another Bor said
"Send him in."Soruin said
In came a breathless Danketh.
"Hello I have come from his majesty Armand God of Time."the Danketh said only to be thrown to his knees by a Bor.
"Now,now my Bor's no need to get testy, please continue."Soruin said
"His majesty Armand suggests a pact."said the Danketh
"Tell him I accept, now get out."Soruin said
The Danketh exited the castle perspirating like a mad man.
"Watch Armand will you."Soruin said to his Second in Command.
"With pleasure."The Luietant said

 

OOC:Forgot to welcome TheJedi_Knight to the game.So welcome

 

Armand now sat upon his throne, as the Danketh ambasador returned from his visit with Soruin, "Sire, Soruin has agreed to pact and I am assured he will see you." "Good..." He stood up and called his Sword Tensa to him, "Summon the Valkyrie Vanguard!" he commanded as he stroad towards the exit of his command center. Once outside he was flanked by 20 fully armed and armourd honorguards, in black and silver armor. "We fly." He commanded as he to took off into the air, and he oppened a rift in space and time, allowing them to instantly travel to Soruin's citadel. all but Two of the Honorguardsmen remained outside as Armand marched into the castle, towards Soruin's throne room. There he stood, where a normal being would bow, and spoke with a normal tone and a slight nod, "Soruin."

 

"Soruin..." Arash whispered as he watched Armand and his forces riding away from his castle to Soruin's citadel.

"Pretty Intresting alliance." Arash walked outside the citadel of Soruin, Looking at the poor embassador of Arcaelus as they were moving him out of the citadel. His vision started to fade slowly as his advisor walked into the throne room.

"Is there something bothering you master?" the female advisor said, dressed in a red robe with silver shoulders and a long staff with a red fiery gem for the headpiece.

"Such a waste of time observing what these old fools are up to..." Arash mumbled, Looking at his advisor, the grand mage of kingdom.

"Soruin the god of war?" The grand mage asked, Arash nodded.

"Yes...Now joined by Armand and Arcaelus." He answered. the Grand mage looked around...

"But no one can stand against the burning wraith of flame itself, don't even doubt it." he added. The Grand mage nodded.

"Yes, I've seen it through history." She agreed.

"Herona." He called the Grand mage. Herona lowered her head as a sign of respect.

"Yes your highness." She answered.

"I want you to dispatch quickly and discuss this setuation with Anubis the god of death. Explain to him the setuation and offer an alliance." he ordered.

"Dismissed!" He said it loud. Herona nodded and kneeled before finally leaving the room.

 

Ragolith trudged through the thick mounds of heavy sand. His pointed boots occasionaly stabbing into a buried animal of human corpse. After days of walking he came upon a small egyptian town. Not wanting to attract attention he changed shape and size to look like a Gray skinned traveler, his chains now worn as a belt and his sword temporaraly a small knife in his left shoe. The ground of the town was flat sand stone, so he was not slowed by the sand. He stopped, hearing the low growl of a jackle coming from behind him. He ripped out his chains and turned form slashing the jackle away, but he was surprised from behind by 3 more jackles. He alone could not do this in public.
But he was not alone.
As soon as he thought that his Sand wraiths unearthed them selves and slashed the jakles to ribbons with their sythes.
He was sick of this petty battle and his anger welled up inside of him, he slashed the ground and returned to his underground home.

 

Arcaelus deviously smiled as he dipped his little pen into a vial of blood he used as ink. The letters he was writing were going to be sent to all of his Generals across his land, as soon as the answer to his question was received. Arcaelus sealed the last letter, and threw the last letter down to his side. His Orcs had set up camp for the night, awaiting for their ambassador to return, and for the blood shed to begin.

Arcaelus blew out the light in the lantern, and threw it down to his side. Suddenly from outside a large light in the center of the encampment lit up half the camp. Arcaelus groaned, and pulled black robes over his pale red skin. He grabbed his Sword of Chaos that was buried beneath an assortment of items, and ventured out of the tent to see what the cause of such a disturbance was.

As he peeked outside his tent, he spotted a small group of flaming Bors, and dropped the dead Orc ambassador to the ground. He landed with a loud thud. "Why in the world did you kill my only Orc ambassador? Explain before I kill you. I have quite the temper."

"Soruin agrees to this alliance as we have allied with Armand as well. But he did find that your ambassador was a coward so he killed him."

Arcaelus chuckled while approaching the Bors. He held his sword calmly and got close to the group of burning Bors. "Yes I know my ambassador was cowardly thats why I hired him for the job instead of killing him. It will be hard to find another one. But since your God has killed one of my people, I think its only fair to return the favor." Before the Bor could even utter a world, Arcaelus jammed his sword right through its chest and watched it collapse. "Now. Will you take us to your God?"

The Bors merely looked at their fallen comrade and ignored it. "Yes. When shall we depart?"

"Well we must prepare our army first. Godric get your messenger. In my tent is a bundle of letters for the rest of the General. Have him deliver the letters to the Generals right now. We must be ready in a couple of days then we shall depart for Soruins land.

 

Anubis

The God of Death sat on a golden throne, he was surronded by the treasures of the dessert: Diamonds from his diamond mines, gold trinkets, gems, and other lovely items. He loved being the richest god around. He held up a large red gem and started looking at it intensly. He threw the gem into a pile of treasures and looked down at a kneeling Bor. "So the dead have finnaly come out of their holes, hmmm? You and your Bors will patrol the city.. Send a group of them to help repair the western wall. Dismissed." Anubis said to the Bor, who got up and left as quickly as he could. Anubis stood up and started walking to a nearby wall, his entire body and his clothes when dark and smokey like a living Shadow. Anubis walked into the Shadows of the wall and appeared, not in Cairo or Egypt but, at the Throne room of Soruin just as Armand appeared. Anubis stayed in the shadows and choosed to watch.

Soruin sat in his throne room looking outside of a window.
"What a pleasent day, shall we torture the prisoners today?"He asked his second in command
"Yes milord but first you must tend to your other duties."He said noticing the anger that showed in his face.
"Very well lets get this over with."Soruin said
"Yes master, send in the prisoner."He said as a Bor flung in a prisoner.
"Its a human master."The second ing command said as another human was flung to the ground.
Soruin stepped of his throne and looked at the boys face.
"The male shall prove to be exellent entertain ment for the hunt, send him there and gather the Bor's for the game.I shall be their shortly, now then who is this."Soruin said flipping back a hood of a cloak.
He stared right into her eyes only to become wossy.
He caught her as she was about to fall.
"No god is complete without a queen, get her ready for the arrival of Armand and Arcaelus."He said before sitting down on his throne once more.
"Milord Armand is already here."The second in command said
"WHAT!"He said shaking the castle with his voice "Send him in, I will deal with him personnaly."He said getting up and walking through the door.
"Armand I was not informed of your arrival? Explain."Soruin growled.

 

"Why should I explain it to you? Its just he incompetence of your Bor's. You sought me out, my power, my age, my wisdom. You knew I was coming For i know you met my ambasador. Now.. Armand stated bringing his hands behind his back, "Why do you want my Aid? I know you, you like all the other beings whom concider themselves Gods, have an hidden agenda, so, Unearth yours or I leave." Armand gazed intently at the God of War, there was no hint of fear or any other emotion in his eyes.

 

Soruin watched Armand wondering if he could trust this being.
"Very well then, my agenda is to rule this mortal world and that of the heavens."
"That is all that can be revealed at the moment.Though it would be best for you to stay here untill the other gods arrive, I am having a feast tonight."Soruin said

TAG:Armand

 

Armand narrowed his eyes at the God of War, "Would be best for me? You would do well to work on your people skills if you are to maintain alliances. Armand crossed his arms before him, "That is a skill i could teach, you, should i want to."
