making up history is making the game more intresting. Most players always 'know' the same stories of creation and gods, but that just dosen't make sense. Why would a person from Sentryn worship Vassagon, a gods whos place of worship is on the other side of the thera and have not shown any sign of life in more than 2 years rl ? It would make a hell of a lot more sense that he/she worshiped another kind of curage and victory. Rewrite all you like, put in cataclysmes no one have heard about, spin tales about the dawn of creatures and land. Make the game diverse.
