Entia Definition

All Entias are souls that live in Immortalis Requiem, and guide the living through the deserts of Norvos. Entias are the ones that constructed the desert, long ago. Entias have the power to bring dead people back to life, if the Entias believe they are worthy of life. If not, they are moved to their Requiem (afterlife).

Entia Venenum
Entia Venenum is the god of all things evil and dark. Being the corrupted brother of none other than Entia Aso, Venenum has as much power as Aso himself. But rather than everything that was good and that encouraged life, Venenum uses his power to sow the seeds of chaos and destroy everything the other Entia have worked so hard to make. It is hotly debated on whether or not one can even possibly gain Venenum's favor as existing is a sin against Venenum's beliefs. Currently, Venenum is sealed away thanks to the united support from all other Entia. However, his power is not completely sealed away and he can still influence the outside world. Be cautious.

The Story of Entia Aso, King of the Gods
Aso Desertum was born in the beginnings of Rathnir, near a wasteland known by many as “The Unknown” Aso lived near The Unknown (modern day Norvos,) and was always warned by his parents not to go in there, as their previous son Ero had, who Aso’s father had ran in after. Neither were ever found. Aso was a very curious child, and one day, at age seven, he decided to go in and find his brother, before he could enter the foggy wasteland, his mother spotted him, ran out and brought him back inside. He was grounded, never to be let out of the house. He was treated like a prisoner, and was kept inside until age 17, when he discovered something, a netherrite ax. He used the ax to break the walls of his room, and he did successfully. He did not want to go into The Unknown, as he wanted to start a new life somewhere far away, but before long, his mother spotted him and ran outside. Aso started running until his mother caught up to him and grabbed him, he spun around, startled by the attack, and the ax hit the mother’s head, killing her instantly. He could not believe what he just accidentally did, overwhelmed with guilt, he ran into the unknown.

Three days into the unknown, he was out of food, and was dying. He decided to try to leave, after hours of searching, he soon realized it was impossible to get out, and he accepted he would die, but in the distance, he saw a light, he thought it was death coming to him, so he approached it, but in fact, it was a beacon, and next to the beacon was a sign that read “To anyone who finds this, use this beacon, this will bring livelihood to this wasteland -Ero Desertum" Aso was in shock, his brother made this beacon, and he decided, with his last ounce of strength to figure out how to “use” it, he jumped on the beacon, and a surge of energy filled his body, he rose to a city, that he named Immortalis Requiem, and vowed to dedicate his life to guiding others through what he named the desert. He constructed hills, rivers, and most importantly, paved the path for future people of the desert.

The Story of Entia Tinith, the Truth-Seeker
Entia Tinith was the first and only son of Entia Rzai. He was the god of truth and history. Tinith would smile upon those who invited truth into their lives and sought to make history. His upbringing, a once touchy subject for him, is not clear. However, it is widely believed that Tinith was once a regular human. He was a petty thief that lived a life of lies and deceit. But then, he suddenly had a change in heart. Call it a guilty heart or regret for the way he had lived his life until then, but Tinith began to devote his life to the Entia. He lived his life shining the light of truth onto the darkness in the shadows of lies.

This act would catch the attention of Entia Rzai, god of light and the correct path. You see, Rzai had a secret at the time. A secret that was so dangourse to know, it may cost one his life. But as the god of light, Rzai severely disliked things hidden in the shadows. So Rzai came up with a plan. If this person who had lived a life of darkness really wished to repent, he should do so by uncovering the darkest secret of the century. As an orb of light, Rzai contacted Tinith. He promised Tinith glory and fame that would cement his place in the history books. This immediately captured Tinith's attention and he eagerly agreed. Tinith was guided by Rzai for two months. In that time, Rzai would begin to look after Tinith like a son. So he decided, if death were to ever come upon Tinith, Rzai would grant him godhood and make him an Entia.

Tinith would come across the place that Rzai had guided him to. A castle made of tree and stone, decaying after being abandoned for possibly hundreds of years. After traveling across the realm for two months, Tinith's quest would soon be over. So with excitement in his step, Tinith entered the ruins. He quickly found a chamber under ground where a chest sealed a journal away. Tinith opened the book, and began to read it's contents.

The book told of a story long past. A story of a rebellious group of people who no longer wished to worship the gods. Entia Aso tried to persuade them to reunite with the one true religion but they ignored him. Aso sent Entia Olivera, the then goddess of trees and nature and life, to deal with this rebellious group of nonbelievers. However, Olivera took pity on the rebels and refused to wipe them out. She would further explain that it went against her nature as the Entia of life. This was the final straw. Aso declared this act as treason against him. And so, Aso took Olivera's soul and threw it out of Immortalis, casting it into Vita. Aso then redirected his anger towards the rebellious people. All of this was their fault. They deserved to be punished. This would start the Religious War. But war is not what it was. It was simply a massacre. Aso annihilated those people, leaving no one alive. Or so he thought.

The writer of the book would then claim to be the sole survivor of this religious genocide. They stated that their weeping and anger attracted the soul of Olivera. And with the permission of the fallen goddess, the writer used ancient and unknown magic to capture Olivera's soul in an unsuspecting rabbit foot. And through the power of rage and a fallen god, the Entia Destroyer was born. The writer would eventually start a family and instruct their descendants to pass the foot down through the generations. They promised their descendants that the soul of Olivera would one day sense the most optimal time to strike against the Entia. But until that day, to wait in the shadows and grow in power.

This stunned Tinith. The king of the very gods he worshiped and lived his life for eradicated a whole religious group. The same king who stood for good deeds, fair rulers, and good ethics had gone completely against his nature and slaughtered possibly millions of innocent lives. Even going so far as to kill a fellow god just for a disagreement. He plead to Rzai. To tell him that this was all fake. All of it was made up as a children's tale. Right? Rzai didn't not respond. So in a fit of rage Tinith called out for Aso and cursed his name. He questioned why and how Aso could be so hypocritical. Why was the biggest liar of all the king of the Entia. Tinith spat and violated Aso's name. It seemed fit that, Aso being the prideful deity he is, struck Tinith down there and then.

But that wasn't the end of Tinith. Rzai returned to the site where Tinith had been killed. And from his body, Rzai drew out his soul and had it enter Immortalis. There, he was re-birthed as the son of Rzai, Entia Tinith the Truth-Seeker.
