Genesis
In the Beginning there was nothing, simply darkness, however Mogus the almighty god Said "There shall be a world of paradise where my servants will live forever!", and so the Heavens were created on the whims of Mogus. Angels were born to serve Mogus and there he stood above all else. However Mogus was not content and said " I have created paradise but now, I seek to create life and a home for all other lifeforms" and so created Paxia, a peaceful world filled with vegetation and peaceful life but Mogus was not yet content. "There must be more" Mogus stated," I will create a creature in my servants own image, I will call them, man". There out of dirt Mogus created the first man, Nevao. However Nevo was lonely tending only to the cattle and the plants, thus Mogus put Nevo to sleep and took half of his heart. There when Nevo woke up from his slumber a woman woke as well, Nevo called her Ava in light of her kindness and warmth. Soon Nevo and Ava had several children and so did they, They spread all around Paxia, however Man had grown cruel and drifted apart from their creator, mogus said" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for creating Paxia, I'm sorry for creating the cattle, wolve's, and I'm sorry for creating man". Though a man by the name of Evimo was still devoted to Mogus and was still good. So Mogus told Evimo, "Evimo a great flood will wipe out Man and animal alike, you must bring two pairs of every animal and your family and make a large fort on that hill. After one week the flood will end and a new world arise in its place for you and your descendants". Evimo listened to what Mogus told him and created large fortress one so tall it could almost reach the heavens, he took a pair of every animal and his family and waited in his fort and just as Mogus told him a flood engulfed Paxia and just as Mogus said a week would past and then the flood would stop and a new land would appear. Evimo looked outside his fort and saw a brand new land he called it, Jagdas.

Var and the end of Jagdas
Var was born into Jagdas as a small boy Var would be sold by his family to the Shivav's as a slave. Var worked the fields and prayed to Mogus every night and eventually Mogus said to Var "My son, there shall be a great famine in a year, when the time comes say to your master that you know of a place where there is plentiful food.". Var responded with "But I do not know of such a land, what will I do my lord?". "Mogus responded with "I will guide you and you will be a hero, good luck Var." . Just as Mogus had said, there was a large famine in Shivav and Var told his master he knew of a place with large amounts of harvests, with their country starving to death the Shivav's let Var lead them and as he walked he did not know where he was going and feared for his life but soon he reached a large garden full of harvest and food. The Shivav's celebrated and Var thanked Mogus for guiding him, soon the Shivav's settled in this new land and made Var their king. Var's Kingdom grew so great that there was no greater nation than his and though the Lord had guided him to become king he soon forgot and betrayed Mogus. Mogus grew angry at Var and said " I once flooded the world as humanity grew cruel and let Evimo start a new world. Now Var has betrayed me, the one who lead him to become king of the world, does he not remember when he was a lowly slave. " so Mogus warned Var to remember what he did to help him however, Var ignored Mogus and taunted him saying "Mogus is a clown I will hold a grand feast,if Jagdas still stands the mogus is nothing but a coward!". Mogus angered with Var Destroyed Jagdas in his rage, but before he did he let the good and the faithful survive to settle a new world, one which he called Rathnir and Eldham.

The Great Blessing
As Jagdas was destroyed and the new world created the good and the faithful settled and it began with small tribes but it soon grew to small city-state's and then great nation's of considerable size. One young man was a lowly shepherd named Vosko, Vosko lived in a felt field and was struggling with the wild animals and bandits. One day Vosko's cattle were stolen and his crops robbed. Vosko was forced to leave his land and find protection elsewhere, he went to the land up north and met the most beautiful woman he had seen, her name was Rebecca. However as Vosko soon learned Rebecca was the daughter of a extremely successful businessman named Leshar. When Vosko asked Leshar for Rebecca's hand in marriage he said "I cannot let my daughter marry such filth! '' which Vosko promptly responded with "but sir if i were to work you for you for 5 years would you still prevent me from marrying your beautiful daughter?", Leshar hesitated and said "If you worked for me for 7 years only then would you be able to marry my daughter". So Vosko would agree and would work his fields for 7 years but those 7 years went by by quickly for Vosko, as he loved Rebecca so much all he could do was look at her. After the 7 years years Vosko and Rebecca would get ready to marry but then Leshar said to Vosko " You shall not marry Rebecca, she is far to young, you must work another 7 years to marry her!". Vosko argued that he had promised him his daughter's hand in marriage but Leshar stubbornly refused to listen. So Vosko and Rebecca ran away and got eloped together, Leshar ran after them and cursed Vosko but was unable to catch them. So Rebecca and Vosko then settled lush forest and had many children but one day when collecting lumber he was attacked by a stranger Vosko immediately fought back and wrestled the stranger, they were wrestling until the sun set and finally the stranger touched Voskos shoulder causing him to stagger back. The man said " What is your name?". "Vosko" He replied. "Well then" the stranger said " You have wrestled with man and god and prevailed, thus your name will not be Vosko, but it will be Ilutsim". Vosko hesitated and said"Who are you?" . The man Quickly responded with " I am Mogus, the god your ancestors worshipped and the divine creator of this world", Just then the a blinding light covered the area and when the light was gone the man was as well. Before he could think of anything else, he processed the fact he had met face to face with god. After the encounter Vosko also known as Ilutsim packed his bags and moved into the desert with his family to find a more suitable place to live, in the desert there was little food and an even lesser amount of water. Vosko's family was starving and unbelievably thirsty, and thus Vosko prayed to Mogus and Mogus responded saying "Ilutsim, do you wish to find a place for food and water?". Vosko quickly responded saying" Yes, please mogus help us, and we will worship you, as our god and creator." . A moment of silence ensued before Mogus said "Well then I will lead you to land far away, it will be filled with rich crops and cattle, and I promise you as long as you love me, as long as you worship me, and as long as you follow me, you and your descendants will be my people."However you must Drink Holy Vodka so that I know you are my people. Thus Vosko followed Mogus, and made Holy Vodka and drank it, after drinking made his family drink it one by one. He then took his family out of the desert into flat plains isolate and remote surrounded by hills and mountains. Vosko prayed to Mogus and he and his family prospered in this new land and soon they created a city which Vosko named, Gedolah. Gedolah grew very large very quickly and as angel frequently came by and Vosko and the inhabitants soon realized that the stairway to Heaven was there in Gedolah. Vosko would go on to have 4 Children and while on his deathbed in the ripe old age of 108, he said to each of his sons" My sons, gather round as you well know, my time on Rathnir is up and I must met the creator once more in the heavens. However before I go I must bless everyone you. As your children will create great nations and civilizations as they are the people of Mogus. My first born son Hario, you bring me great honor and saw mogus guide us to this blessed land, you will be a great leader to mogus's people and will lead us to prosper. Vevai my second born son you looked to the sky and aimed for the heavens and nothing can stop you. You are like a mule unwilling to give up in order to obtain their purpose and reach their destiny. Krachtig you were born into prosperity, you were ever so calm even so, you knew when you had to step in to fight for your family and for Mogus and were mature like no other. Finally my youngest son Doxa, you always liked to cause mischief people and afterwards helped them in their troubles, you remain loyal like a steed and always aim to bring glory and honor to those you wish to impress. My son's you will lead a people like no other and as I fade into the sky it is your duty to let Mogus's people grow and prosper." So Vosko soon died that very day sleeping peacefully in his abode. His Four sons Hario, Vevai, Krachtig, and Doxa quickly became the leaders of Gedolah and as their people prospered the brothers divided the land into four parts each to mark the territory of one brother and their families, each of the brothers territory was in crystal like shape, and in the center of the territories was Gedolah, the capital of Ilutsim, the land of the Ilutsimites.

The Great Exodus
After the establishment of the Kingdom of Ilutsim, the land prospered with Mogus's blessings Gedolah was the largest city in Rathnir and Ilutsim the most powerful nation. There was plentiful food, water, clothes, and great trust among its people. The land was lead by four kings representing the four families which descended from Hario, Vevai, Krachtig, and Doxa. One sunny day in Ilutsim the second king Eiron, great grandson of Vosko and grandson of Vevai. Decided that Mogus was not worthy of his wordhip and love, his prowess and prestige, at was all his and not for Mogus. Mogus felt betrayed but even so kept Ilutsim Holy and prosperous for he knew that the people still worshipped him however Eiron not given any repercussions for his actions turned to foreigners and offered them Gedolah and all of Ilutsim in Exchange for a personal fortune and nobility. Eiron convicned Ilutsimites that selling their prosperous land was for the best and that Mogus was not real and was simply myth. This caused much controversy among Ilutsimites but the majority of Mogus's people agreed with Eiron and betrayed their god. Mogus was furious and reached out to the Fourth king of Ilutsim Katak, Grandson of Doxa and said " My child, your cousin Eiron the second king has betrayed me and my people have sided with him and ignored the blessings I have endowed them with. They are blinded by greed and corruption, let them see my light  Katak, and spread my message to the people". Quickly Katak made a speech for the masses delivering Mogus's will and many were torn but ultimately before any decisive conculsion could have been made Eiron had already sold Ilutsim and it's people. Barbarians and soldier's sacked the cities and enslaved the people, the chaos was so horrid that Mogus had to tear Gedolah from the ground to keep them from reaching the heavens. Katak and the Ilutsimites were praying to Mogus to save them from the destruction and mogus answered them, while Katak was praying he appeared in front of him and told him"Katak look at me, I am your god, I am the one you call Mogus. Eiron has betrayed my people and now he shall be face my wrath but before. hand I will lead you and the Ilutsimites you take with you to a safe place to rest and settle. It will not be as prosperous as this nation was but let this be lesson to never betray me and to be grateful for what I give you.". Katak then Gathered all of the Ilutsimites he could and with the guidance of Mogus lead them through Deserts, forests, Jungles, Savannah's, and Seas. There Mogus let Katak and his people settle to start anew but for Eiron Mogus spoke to Eiron and said"My son you have betrayed your brothers and sisters and forced them to leave their homes or be killed and you did it for your own self-interests, you have betrayed me and ignored the blessings I have given you and your ancestors, what will you say?". Eiron responded with" I have no intention ofapolgizing, you are not my good and I made that decision for the good of the people".There were a few moments of silence before Mogus stated"Very well, you will learn what it is to be apart of the people you claim to have helped, I will not save you as I am no longer your god.". Eiron was then arrestd by the very people he had sold Ilutsim to as they had lied to him and turned Eiron into a slave as he plowed fields starving, barely surviving t see the light of day. Thus Ilutsim was gone and her survivors were either slaves, refugee's or settlers in uncharted lands.

The Era of The Prophets
The Clans of Ilutsim had spread across the world, The Harions had fled to the north, The Vevaians had been either enslaved or they ran off with the Doximites, The Krachtigians settled in the Mesa, and the Doxamites lead by Katak Fled to Eldham. Some clans flourished others did not but the Krachtigians had amassed a great sum of wealth due to the large amount of gold in their area however they began to do what Eiron had done and without hesitation Mogus let Bandits slide into the town accidentally killing the entire except for two children who Mogus had protected. One of these children was named Knightmare the two brothers with the help of Mogus defeated the Bandits who had ravaged their families town and settled down. However Knightmare had no intention of settling down and explored the world to find out more about the god of his ancestors when one eventful morning Knightmare awoke to a burning bush in front of him, a shining bright came out of it and curious, Knightmare looked inside the burning bush and saw Mogus and as he awed at the marvel of Mogus's presence he spoke to Knightmare and said"Knightmare, your ancestors created a great country in honor of me, I let them prosper and then they betrayed me. I have punished them but now you must relive that glory your ancestors did, and I will guide you on this journey just like I did on your last."Soon after Mogus gave Knightmare gift saying"Take it" that being The Holy sword of Mogus a sword like no other able to cut a man in half with just a swing. So with a blade at his hip and Mogus at his back Knightmare raced across the world spreading his message however not all took kindly to this message a group of militiamen in a town Knightmare had visited had disliked and viewed him as a threat to public safety thus they sieged Knightmare's home and town almost destroying it in the process. Knightmare in response gathered his men, arms, and materials. With only 10 of his men and the Holy sword he marched back to take the town from the Militia. They were Heavily Outnumbered and outgunned but with the help of mogus Knightmare and his men miraculously beat the militia and took back their town, and soon Knightmare would start a family and would be forced to settle down there, he was bored yearning for adventure, wisdom, and to spread his faith, one day he heard his sword call him and left with his horse onto the horizon to find the lost city of Gedolah, that had been ripped out of the world during the collapse of Ilutsim. Knightmare believed it was placed back somewhere in the world and that if he found it he could climb up to the heavens and learn the wisdom of Mogus. However as years passed he did not return and thus he was proclaimed dead and a new prophet would take up the torch.
