Dimiourgía katastrofís means : the Creation of Destruction

It belongs to the world of New Rathnir, or, as the playerbase likes to call it, Lagnir.

This is because of the lore and religion brought by the people, who call themselves the Balancers. Why ? Because their sacred goal is to unite, to Harmonize the world, make it a safe space for people to trade and live. They seek balance of evil and good, of light and darkness, and many other examples.

Lore and Religion
Their lore and religion is based on ancients gods. Two of them, to be precise. The Tales Of Founding, their sacred book, goes as follows :

''At the beginning there was nothing. But from the nothingness sprang two beings : Creation and Ruin. These two gods were mighty, but opposites. One could not do anything if the other didn’t want him to.''

''After a thousand years of slumbering, they both woke. Creation found the cosmere quite empty. He wanted to create something, but couldn’t without Ruin. Indeed, though today it is translated as Creation, in the Old Language it actually meant Preservation, or something like that. So Creation told Ruin : “we will create a world together, and when it’s time comes, you may destroy it”. Ruin accepted, and so Creation said : “And the world will be”. And from their two minds, and from the cosmere, sprang the world. But, after another thousand years of pacing this barren, desolated land, he found it empty. So He once again spoke to Ruin, and said : “We will create life, and when their time comes, you may destroy them”. And Ruin accepted. So Creation said : “and life will be”, and from their two minds sprung life, plants and animals, walking the world. But, again, after another thousand years of seeing the plants do nothing and the animals behave like automatons, He once again spoke to Ruin, and said : “we will create a sentient, intelligent life form, and when their time comes, you may destroy them, Ruin them”. And Ruin accepted. And so Creation said : “so it will be”, and intelligent life was created. He called these humans, and watched them grow, evolve, create civilization, saw empires rise and fall. But, after another a thousand years of watching them, he decided that they fought to much, were not united enough. He decided that this looked too much like Ruin’s world would. And so, he gave a part of his power to a single human, and this human united the world under a single banner. He called himself the “Lord Ruler”. After one hundred years of peaceful reign, the Lord Ruler stepped down, and passed the power over to a secret group he had created, called the Acker-Doom’s Guard. He tasked the faithful members of this order to prepare the world for when Ruin would come to destroy it. Creation agreed, and he decided that he was not going to let the world he had built be destroyed by Ruin. So, he broke his promise with Ruin, and using his power, designed a trap to keep Ruin for thousands of years. But Creation was already weakened, and his trap was not as strong as it was supposed to be. Ruin freed himself after not even a dozen years, and decided to take vengeance on Creation’s world. Creation was weakened, yet still mighty, and they fought in the sky. Ash fell, trees caught on fire, buildings were destroyed. But Creation, weakened as he was, decided to sacrifice himself for Humanity. He took Ruin, and dragged Him into Death with Himself. They both faded that day. The same day, the Lord Ruler returned from wherever he had gone. He took both powers, Ruin and Creation, and united them. HE became Harmony. He looked around at the destroyed world, and created a new world, remade it as it was in the early days. Humanity fled to this new place, but was once again fragmented, divided. He tasked the only two surviving members of the Order, member n°7, (DoomsGuard7 for short), and member Lagen1 (AckerLagen1 for short), to rebuild the world, and, especially, reunite it. Or, in other words, Harmonize it.''

This text is very important to them, and defines what they are.

Towns
For now, they only have one town :

O fáros tis eirínis. This means "The beacon of Hope", or "The beacon of Peace" in the old language. It is named this way for it is supposed to represent a new light in the dark world, a new beginning, a start to unity.

Government
There government is particular, since it is a sort of half democracy. It is formed of four bodies : at he top, the Senate, which is composed of 4 members : two permanent members : Akerlagen1 and DoomsGuard7, and two elected members, with terms lasting a month and election campaigns happening one the last week of each term. The Senate chooses (through a vote), 3 generals, which form the Supreme Military Command, which directly controls the army. The army is a paid professional one, composed of trained volunteers. The Senate also chooses and controls the two High Priests, which in turn choose and train a few priests to conduct ceremonies in the name of Harmony. These Priests are also the Diplomats of the nation, and are the ones involved in the foreign affairs. And finally, independent from the other bodies is the High Court, composed of two elected members with terms two weeks long. To prevent any bribery attempt, any bribery offense is judged by a martial court composed of the three generals, along with a single member of the Senate, which is voted for by its peers.

Any citizen not involved in nation affairs (apart from voting for Senate members and High Court judges) is simply placed under the Senate.The Senate is sort of the civilian government, even though it still does involve itself into military affairs from time to time.
