Dominions (Vammy)

[Deleted]

" I am Eritas La Nomiza, nice to meet you."



" Going to Marignon, I heard they have beautiful cities and I want to see with my own eye."



" I'm a bit taller then you, as well I'm wearing a black robe and a jeweled necklace. I am a fair skinned man with only one brown eye I lost the other while I was a toddler, I wear a brown bandana over it. As well I have a forked tongue and a long tail which developed from my beast ancestry."



" People say I have a unique sense of humor, I guess. I like to think that I'm quite witty not to brag of course."



" I was born in Nomiza to a single mother, she died when I was a teenager and now I am a nomad I belong to no realm. I believe one of my great-great grandparents was a beast."



"That's a strange question, but I do have a dagger on me."



"No, but it was nice to meet you."

DECEASED

Old man, my has been forgotten by time, I call myself Krv-Pijan."



"I'm going to the lands of Agartha to get my army."



" My appearance is clear to see to even those with blind eyes! My skin darker then charcoal, my foot long forked tongue hanging out of my mouth! White markings along my body representing my great clan. Old man listen closely because I'll only say this once. I have eight arms each three feet in length, my feet are clawed and on my twisted forehead sits a ruby inside my skin unrecoverable." ( He has no eyes but somehow sees.)



"I am a god! Love me with all your faith! There used to be many like me powerful blood magicians but only I survived! Because I'm stronger then all!"



" I have a wonderful blade of steel human, more powerful in the hand of me then any others."



" Old man my mercy must tell you. If you join me now you shall survive when the day of reckoning comes."



(He has 3 points in blood magic)




The kindly old soul thanks you for your time and waves you off as you continue your journey. You walk on down the path, and eventually the old man is out of sight. Another bump on the road of a simple sight-seer. Few would brave such an adventure in a times of turmoil, but you'll be damned if you don't at least catch a glimpse of the magnificent port cities of Marignon. Days pass, when eventually you see spot the masts of caravels coming to and from a grandiose city. You have arrived in San Sulva, a port city and mission established in what these travelers from afar call "the new world." It doesn't seem very new to you, but whatever. 

You walk past the farms the mills and the mines and set foot inside the city itself. It seems just as glorious from the inside as it does from the outside. Houses and shops line the streets, with wondrous architecture not found elsewhere in these land. You immediately spot a tavern, and a few blacksmith shops. In the distance you see a giant cathedral, likely dedicated to what these folks call "the one true god." Your options now are limited only be the coin in your purse. 

[vammy]

Well clearly this one true God means a lot to them, even though I have no idea what makes him different compared the ninety other gods that also called that. I shall visit the grand cathedral. Perhaps I learn something from them.

I must admit this is quite the city

[Deleted]

You stroll down the bustling street, past the busy men and merchants running too and fro, and the mothers chasing their rambunctious children. You spot some shady figures watching from the alleyways, but you pay them no heed. You eventually push past all the people and reach the grand cathedral. It's very large building, built of white stone and wood. The windows are stain glass pictures of various things, likely all religious in some way, and stained with many wondrous colors. Three spires rise up from the base of the roof. Two near the front, on either side of the building's front, and one on the center of the roof. The center spire, is much taller than the rest, and looks to contain a bell. The front doors are swung wide open, signifying that anyone may enter and repent.

[vammy]

Shady figures and wild children? Sounds like every other city, next I'll see a beggar at this rate.

It's a very impressive building, marble glowing in the sun exalting glory, but I'm more impressed by the stained Windows. Is there anything notable on the Windows perhaps something about the fabled old God?

Or would that be to much to ask

[Deleted]

They seem to be displaying something, but it's hard to make out what precisely it is. Perhaps a chat with the priest would bring some enlightenment.

[vammy]

Possibly, I'll walk inside and ask if I can meet with a priest to talk about their faith. On a quest for knowledge

[Deleted]

As you enter the cathedral, you spot a portly man praying over a young couple. He is dressed in long, white robes, has short white hair, and wears a little blue cap. A blue cross necklace adorns his neck. He seems to notice your presence, and holds up his index finger, asking you to wait a bit until he is done.

[vammy]

I'll wait then, sitting down quietly and making note of the man's cross.

Probably a Religous symbol, ain't seen one like it before.

[Deleted]

The man finishes praying over the young couple, and they both leave silently. When they have left, he approaches you

"Yes, my son? What is it that you need?" His tone is light, and calming. He exudes an approachable aura

[vammy]

I speak with my hands closed trying to look as peaceful as possible, and speak calmly.


" Hello, priest I have came to ask you about your faith. Who is it that you worship? How does he command such zeal from so many? Zeal to fight impossible wars and somehow win, to build beautiful cities visited by all. Who is this man?"

[Deleted]

"Ah, you wish to know more about our faith! Wonderful, wonderful. Our God, the one true God, is a benevolent being. We refer to him as 'Yahweh.' Many faiths see him as the ruler of lesser gods, but we see him as the only God! Our zeal comes from our love of him, and our great victories come his hand! He inspires our architects with his beauty, and has blessed us with good fortune." Wow relatively blank in his speech, the priest occasionally breaks from this to emphasize or exaggerate a point

The priest attempts to show you the stain glass windows, and explain their meaning, but you are interrupted by a very, very loud voice

"HELLO, MY FAITHFUL SERVANTS."



[Silva has awakened]

[vammy]

Eritas' one eye shifts quickly at the roof of the building, Eritas smiled and seemed to speak with a grin. "I think Yahweh is trying to greet me, must of known I was coming with his magical omniscience or perhaps I woke him up with my breathing, well I won't be rude. Hey Yahweh good morning!"

Eritas tail thrashed on the floor as he said it

[Deleted]

The voice was indeed coming from the roof, but not how you expected. The had run outside as soon as he heard the voice, and the port city had gone oddly quiet.

"MORTALS, I AM YOUR GOD. I AM YAHWEH. DO NOT FEAR MY PRESENCE, FOR I HAVE COME TO AID YOU." Comes the booming voice 

[vammy]

Running away from his God? Perhaps they worship him out of fear instead of love, either way I won't worship a voice. Unless that voice has gifts of course.

"Well it's nice to meet ya! What have you come to aid me with?"

[Deleted]

You hear the priests voice from outside shout "Praise be to God!"

A multitude of voices reverberate those same four words throughout the city

"Praise be to God!" Comes booming back to the cathedral

Whoever this God is isn't just speaking to you, he seems to be talking to everyone everyone in San Sulva.

[vammy]

Clearly this town is filled with more nuts then a cashew tree, " Praise the loud voice." Eritas laughs before going outside and attempting to fit in a little more so no one would get suspicious or try to attack him, he had heard about what they did to heretics.

Glancing outside what is exactly going on?

[Deleted]

You look up, and see something massive looking down upon the city from the castle roof. It looked like a spirit of sorts, dressed in spectral robes and it has moderately sized white beard

"The heathens say the old God is dead, but I am right here!"


The city cheers "Praise be to God!"

"If these non-believers wish to proclaim me dead, let them see the error in this judgement when the fires of God wash down upon them."
"And if these savages will not see my glory, we will make them see my glory!"
"Praise be to God!"
The figure fades away

The whole city is in an uproar now. It's likely the chanting of "Praise be to God!" can be heard from many miles away. Through the fervor, you manage to glimpse the sight of a young woman climbing down off the cathedral and slipping away. 

[vammy]

" Hey look! Your figure is a lie it's just some woman with decent lightning not a god. Look she's climbing down as I speak!" I knew it, I always knew it there's no way these people actually had a god talking to them and helping them, they're the ones who need enlightenment.

Clearly they need to realized that the gods are all dead now.

[Deleted]

"Heretic!" The priest shouts
"Kill him! Kill the heretic!"
You are surrounded by five men. Three have swords drawn, two do not. More angry men seem to be gathering behind them

[vammy]

Shit! As much as I love to educate overzealous theologians in simple matters I value my life much much more. I'll pull out my dagger and look for the nearest road to run on, and anyone who gets in my way will get stabbed. Seriously I'm going to haul ass out of here before I'm given to Yahweh as a sacrifice.

"If your God has any true power I won't come out of here alive!"

[Deleted]

"HEATHEN!" The men shout.

You back into the nearest back ally and take off. The zealots aren't far behind. You round a corner, when suddenly someone grabs you and drags you inside a house. The door shuts behind you, and your pursuers run past.

[vammy]

Where am I? I'll try to survey the room and hopefully find my way.

"Hello?"

[Deleted]

"How stupid are you?" Comes the response of a rather feminine sounding voice.

[vammy]

"On a scale from 1-10 I'll say about a go fuck yourself." Calling me stupid, she's the stupid one.

[Deleted]

A woman comes out from another room. She wears a navy blue dress, cut just above the ankles. Her skin is pale, and flawless. Her eyes are just as blue as her dress. You recognize he as the same one that was climbing off the roof.

"You're a dumbass, and a jackass." She retorts "Why in the name of all that is holy would you question a group of zealots hoped up after just having witnessed their 'God.' I literally cannot think of a stupider move than that."
