The Gertek Horde

Fleeing From The Old World
The last days of Kartek after it was confirmed by the world famous astronomers that the end of the world was imminent and that in a few weeks a comet would Impact on Kartek territory and destroy the world. The entire population of Kartek began to descent into madness and hysteria. On the streets, mothers drowned their children and people began to commit mass executions on the population. Desperate officials began to look for the Emperor Jeffeej for answers he decided to call for the Seven Priests of Caligo each of them representing one of the seven tribes of The Gertek Horde hoping that they had answers on how to save their people. As the Seven Priests of Caligo arrived at the Imperial Court later that day the entire court was already gathered. When the Emperor asked Seven Priests of Caligo what needed to be done their answer was shocking. They said Solaris was on the verge of destroying Caligo and the end of all life was inevitable. They suggested doing a massive blood ritual under the tree of Caligo to establish a direct connection with him hoping that the ritual could save him and the Gertek people. Four of the seven tribes would gather under the tree and pray While Four priests would set up an altar They would then burn the mummified body of the first prophet BAREND. Then they would speak Ancient Enchantment Language to summon Caligo and hope for answers. The preparations for this ritual took weeks During that time the comet got closer and closer and time was running out The tides across the entire world changed and Tsunamis began to blow powerful cities off the face of the world. Time was running out but on the last day of the world the ritual was finally finished and thousands of people had gathered under the tree. While the sky turned red and the earth began to shake, The Seven Priests of Caligo pronounced the spells and set fire to the body of BAREND. The ritual was successful and BARENDS body exploded into a huge red whirlwind with a red eye in a terrible deep voice of Caligo. "My people you have failed your destiny was to sacrifice nations and make me stronger now you will die now I will be destroyed unless you die" The Seven Priests of Caligo realized that Caligo intended to devour all four tribes so that he could be reborn in the New World since they would die either way, they didn't fight it. Caligo began to pull souls out of people s bodies thousands of people began to scream as they slowly died, turning into skeletons and then dust. Men, women, children and the four priests none were spared 65% of the Gertek population was devoured. To the last three tribes the god said "Find me on the New World and make yourself worthy again to call yourselves my people" Then the god disappeared and a short time later the comet hit and destroyed everything and the three tribes were thrown through the void.
