Pantheraxi

Pantheraxi is a family found on Abexilas. The family has rich history leading back to the World Of Rathnir.

Pantheraxi Lore
The Pantheraxi family is often believed to be one of the oldest families on Stoneworks. The family formed on the world of Rathnir. Nobody knows when the family actually formed, but many historians estimate it was between 16,000-20,000 years before recorded Rathnir History was widely spread. There are many tales connected to the family, and these are a large foundation of Panthoxism

Story of Isniro
The founder of the family is regarded as 'For la Isniro' in Pantheraxi history (translates to 'Bringer of Light' in ancient Pantherox). He was part of a unique species known as 'Pantheri'. Pantheri are a hybrid of a black panther, a snake and a human. Isniro became the founder of Pantheroxia, an ancient nation located across much of Southern Rathnir far before recorded history. At this time, he was given a prophecy by Telorasin, the God of Gods in Panthoxism. The prophecy stated that for the first 4 generations of his family, each first son would have to contribute to Pantheroxia in some form. The prophecy also stated that there must be atleast 7 large provinces in Pantheroxia by the 5th generation, and that they had to be owned by different members of the family. This would in turn let all the members of the first 4 generations become gods once they passed away. Isniro took the prophecy to heart, and promised to fulfil Telorasins request.

2nd Generation
He married Nishairo, and they had 3 children together, Torpina, Polaton and Floresia. These 5 would control the first five provinces of Pantheroxia, being Isniria, Nisharia, Torpolina, Plotania and Folroshia. These provinces quickly grew into large threats to global powers, but despite waging 7 wars over this span of Pantheroxia's history, the global powers could never disrupt the harmony of the Empire. Polaton would go on to establish a large system of roads, ports and ships to connect the empire together.

Conquests of Arakhalos/3rd Generation
Arakhalos was the first born son of Torpolina and her husband, Soralos. Soralos was a warrior, and a very skilled one at that.

The 3rd generation brought 6 other children, and in turn 7 new provinces. These provinces brought much prosperity to the nation, but it was clear that they were becoming far too large of a threat, having wiped out whole empires in the process of gaining this land. Many nation leaders met in secret and made allies to try to stop any more growth from Pantheroxia. Word of the prophecy had escaped from Pantheroxia, and many nation leaders saw this as the last opportunity to destroy Pantheroxia.

The Story of Odresite
Odresite was the first born son of the 4th generation of the Pantheraxi family. A lot of pressure was put on him by his family to fulfil the prophecy from a young age. This led to a very shaky relation-ship with his parents, grand-parents and Isniro. Odresite spent most of his childhood travelling with his uncle, Arakhalos. He became a very curious and adventurous person, and began taking many risks. On his 16th birthday, he had a large argument with his family over the prophecy. This led to him running away from his house, and outisde of Pantheroxia. News of this spread quickly, despite the Pantheraxi trying to hush it up.

Enovilius, the king of the Jaloresi Empire, quickly discovered that the boy was within the confines of his empire. He sought out to find the boy, and once he did, he tricked Odresite into believing that his family were out to destroy the world as he knows it. Odresite believed Enovilius, and asked how he could stop his family from succeeding. Enovilius told him that if he were to not take the prophecy vow, it would shatter the Pantheraxi control of southern Rathnir.

Prophecy day
Odresite returned to his home, and his family was relieved to see him. However, his heart burned with hate for his family now, and he knew what he had to do. On prophecy day, Odresite broke the ancient tablet that was handed to each first-born child to enrol them in the prophecy. This event caused a large earthquake to appear, and Odresite was swallowed up in the dust. All the other family members were left unharmed, however they felt betrayed by Odresite.

Odresite had been swallowed up by Telorasin, where he was told the truth about what had been happening, the prophecy and its purpose. He realised that he had shattered any future for the Pantheri, and that his family had been trying to protect them from danger. Odresite begged Telorasin to give the family another chance, but he refused. Overcome with sadness, Odresite told Telorasin that he would become the God of Death and The Otherside to help bring all the people who wronged the Pantheri to justice. He claimed that he would rather die now and try fix his mess than to be a coward and live on. Telorasin, stunned by his accountability, bestowed his wish. Odresite became the God of Death and The Otherside, and he fulfilled the prophecy in doing so. His family wouldn't know what happened to him until years later, once they had also died and become gods.
