LostCreativity

The painter
243 years ago an unknown painter, blinded by grief and sorrow painted their recently deceased father on a canvas, to honour his legacy. The painter became so obsessed with the image of his lost father that the painter looked beyond all reason and enchanted the painting to make the image of his father alive once more. The enchantment was effective and the painting came alive, however the painter's grief had made them empty and void of creation. Resulting in the image of his father distorting to a no longer recognisable painting. The painter had made a new kind of life, created from their lost father and shattered creativity.

The abandonment
The now alive painting was given a name by the painter, LostCreativity. To the painter's dissapointment LostCreativity showed no attachment to them, the painting chose it's own path and abandoned the painter to rot. The painter would die afraid and alone in their corner of the world. The painting felt an unknown ambition and journeyed across the world to find itself in the city of Norvos. There it lived a peacefull life of fishing and farming, but something felt empty. The lack of tension and excitment in this peacefull life didn't satisfy the painting. It started to much like it's father, look beyond reason to fill its needs...

Sørligste
To the paintings delight an opportunity for a tense and exciting life soon arose. Ookami, a close friend to the painting had planned a coup. He invited the painting to participate in said coup promising to ignite a conflict with their neighbours that they'd soon forget. The painting agreed to his proposal and couped the government together with Ookami, forming Leveros, thus igniting a civil war.

Sørligste civil war
The painting happily fought against the people, comitting numerous atrocities and merciless slaughters. The Leverosi actions horrified the people and the onlooking neighbours. All this for the painting to fill the needs of an intense and high risk life. The civil war came to a bloody end with the battle of Port Leon. The painting once again joined the fighting, but this time its actions would not be tolerated. The painting engaged the king of Norvos in a duel that resulted with the King's lifeless body thrown off a tower, meeting his end. The battle quickly concluded as the Leverosi broke the lines of the enemy, cutting down soldiers and civilians alike. The horrific actions of Leveros had been seen by every surrounding nation on the continent. A coalition was formed against Leveros, but to the paintings dissapointment. They did not stay to fight...

Uldarash
LostCreativity left Sørligste with a smile. Accompanied with the remaining few loyal to Leveros, they took refuge in Uldarash and set up a small town named Selva. To the paintings excitement an intense conflict to fill its needs was brewing, The Uldarash Civil War. The painting had always enjoyed long drawn out conflicts even though he wasn't much of a fighter. It was the intense atmosphere, the espionage, sabotage, planning, the competition. It gave him a purpose, something to bet his drawn out life for. Which was why he made the decision to return to the turmoil of Sørligste.

Leveros
The painting approached the pirate captain Ulifer. Ulifer was willing to sell a piece of Khand to the paiting and that's how it was settled. This one decision made by the painting. Just to fill its needs of an exciting life, would light the entire continent of Sørligste on fire once more... The empire was recreated, its forces unleashed on the continent, a conflict lasting decades upon decades. In the end the painting signed a truce with the enemy in exchange for a fragile peace and land. The continent layed in ruines, this conflict had been the life it was looking for. The painting took this moment of peace to reflect on its horrifying lifestyle. Why was the painting so cold, unempathetic and violent. When suddenly something came to mind. Everyone else had something the painting lacked, gods. During the paintings entire existance there was never a guardian, angel, force of nature or other high being that gave the painting purpose, protection or a life to live. The painting would make its own world, without the likes of those treacherous gods.
