In the beginning, the Gods were born from Eternity and Creation. They were left ot thier own designs and created a world inhabited by their 'children': horses. For many hundreds of years the Gods ruled peacefully over their world and were praised by the equines below. But, even though they were mighty Gods and had each other, Thyr of the Sun, Avaria of the Earth, Teior of the Water, and Ciaka of the Air still became lonely in their long reign. Despite the protests and warnings of their brother, Rashan of the Moon, four of the Gods chose mortal mares in foal whose children would become DemiGods with power of their own. The children, hued the same and with powers similar to their 'parents,' were thus:
Shasa, Avaria's daughter, had power over the plants of the world; Torran, Teior's son, was granted the gift of controlling running water and rain; Ciaka's daughter, Airal, ran as fast as the winds her mother controlled. The last foal, the Colt Thyr blessed with the power of Fire, was Cior and Rashan despaired to see him born. It was Cior that was the realization of the Moon God's fears. Dark gold in hue, the colt accidentally destroyed his sire with powers he could not comprehend or control and he and his dam were driven into exile. For many long years no one heard from Cior but when he returned he had changed. he was no longer Thyr's beloved DemiGod. His coat was black, tainted by the Shadow Magic he had discovered, and his build had shifted from a light, airy frame to heavy and powerful; Cior was a warped stallion now and the world trembled at his coming. In time he claimed a land alongside those of his sibling DemiGods and, using his Dark power, imprisoned many horses at a huge rock in the middle of his tainted land. Some horses, twisted and warped as he was, turned to his side and before anyone knew it, even the Gods, the world had split into two sides: The PureHearted, who wished to protect their herds and way of life, and the Impure, who wanted power over others and loved Cior's new way of life. In the new regime, Cior swore, slaves would be a currency and the Gods would die. So far no great battle has been fought but war is looming on the horizon and the Gods and Cior prepare their respective people for battle. Whose side will you join? The choice is yours; The odds are even and the board is set. Let the games begin.
