A Guide to The Ancient's

( If there are any inaccuracies with the lore please help me keep it cannon to the tamora lore.)

Black Marsh
The one area that Dwarves feared to tread was Black Marsh, due to its "inhabitants", had they ventured in deeper they wound find The Ancient Ones. A small village hidden in a ravine housed these people who were a mix of Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, and shipwrecked humans, who found themselves lost in the marsh, banding together they created a village under the eyes of The Six.

The Six
Tamoras creation Involved Six Gods and Goddess

Jas'Man (Jah-s Mah-n)
Jas'Man is the God of life and death giving balance to the spirits he guides into and out of life. Described by The Ancient Ones as a Dwarf with a pick axe, with one half of the blade diamond and the other wood, would take the life of the old, injured, or deathly ill and guide them to the afterlife. With the coming of new life he would allow spirits to enter their new bodies and live a life until they were ready to join him in the after life.

Bockus (Bah-cuss)
Bockus Is the God of the earth itself, molding and shaping the land filing it's oceans and deserts planting the saplings that became mighty trees. Described as a Human weilding a Gold shovel with a diamond handle with earth brown eyes and hair.

Talma (Tahul-Mah)
Talma, one of the twin gods,is God of the Sun, bringing brightness to the world letting plants take in his light and grow taller to reach up to him. Some describing an orc some describing an elf claimed that the gods golden chest plate shone with the brightness of the sun itself and courage envied by any warrior.

Nivira (Ni-Vi-Rah)
Nivira, one of the twin gods, is Goddess of the moon, letting a soft light bathe the night sky with peaceful tranquility. Said to have flowing white hair and eyes as white as snow she would use her bow to deliver wisdom and magic in scrolls tied to the arrows, her gifts of magic were heavily sought by mages seeking to control the world around them.

Valana (Vah-Lah-Nah)
Valana is the Goddess of the wilds and its creatures. A tall green haired elf with emerald eyes, she crafted the bodies of animals from clay given to her by Bockus, and breathing life into them. Her golden boots allowed her to swiftly move through the forests to see her creations hunt and survive. If she was appeased with a fresh kill of a hunt she would bless the hunters family with good meat and fur.

Thalos (Thal-Los)
Thalos is guardian and God of the Nether. Only seen in an Obsidian cloak or coated head to toe in chain mail armor, he is of unknown race. Whilst the gods and goddesses bickered and fought amongst themselves for who kept control he stayed calm creating compromise between the gods. He is also known as the god of self-sacrifice, Seeing the evils of the undead and the monsters coming from his realm he sealed the nether and its beasts only for those with knowledge of his portals to enter, upon doing so he sealed himself within the nether to keep the beasts in line. Nivira, moved by his sacrafice, asked for a blade to be fashioned for him, a golden double edged blade to represent him, she bore the Nether God a son, whom will be mentioned later, leaving the child there to keep the God company.

The Traitor Son
Born to the God of the Nether by the Moon Goddess Dalvec was an angered child feeling contempt for his father cursed to live along side such hideous monsters. Dalvec plotted for Centuries against his father and soon bound the Nether God once his powers weakened. Using his father as a living portal Dalvec spread across the earth working his way into evrery religion as the darkness of man and to be feared by all. Dalvec stole clay from Bockus shaping minor gods infusing them with sand and stolen souls to serve him in the world while he was still bound to the nether. Dalvec plots to make the world a New Nether.

The Institute
Mages seeking to better themselves trained their abilities with magic in an attempt to please the gods, They agreed that they shall be rewarded with a floating institute that housed the spells and tomes of the gods knowledge. Though lost to day the Mages guild seeks this building, forgetting its origin.

The Fall of the Gods
To be able to be a God, they must have believers. With the races moving to their own religions and ideals the gods were slowly forgotten their powers dwindling away, Dalvec the traitor son had worked himself as a demon of every religion, people believed in fear giving him all the power he needed. The gods continue to watch over their people powerless to do anything against Dalvec.

The Prophet
Duncan Hellscythe, a Halfbreed of an elf and human, was chased from his home during Dyell the IVth hunts, Building a shelter in the Marsh he discovered remains of The Ancient Ones village. Valana had watched this boy grow up in her woods, his parents killed by a mob against the mixing of races, she felt he would be useful and waited for him to grow. Stumbling through the Village of the Ancient Ones the illiterate man found a book, mustering a small portion of the powers they had left they blessed the man with the ability to read their language, that had long died out, with this knowledge came belief, a shrine, and with those came enough power for Valana to descend in the form of a wolf speaking twice to the man. She wanred him of Dalvecs power and their weakness to help him. The second time she appeared she gave him two pieces to aid him. The Blade of Thalos, and the Breeches of Backus. Hoping this man can bring Believers and restore the gods to their power. Upon the second visit Duncan was with a monk named Nelsi who assumed that the Wolf of the Wilds was a fifth god in his Four.

(If smileysullivan53 can add his bit labeled the blade changes hands ill place it here)

Nice, but I would rename it. People might have some confusion between it and the "original" religion of Tamora, "The Five."

Other than that, nice job, and I'll move this to Lore. That's where it should be.

What about "The Ancient Six"? Or the "Six of Old"?

Rilien obtained a gift from his friend Rustle. It was a golden blade with two sides. Rilien took it home and put it in a chest. That night, a vision was shown to Rilien in his sleep. The vision portrayed a golden and purple ball floating in front of his face. The ball tells him that he is related to the ball and that all will be shown when the time comes. Rilien was awoken by a flash of red. When he woke up, he found that he was holding the blade!

How about simply "The Old Ones?"
