Ophanum rises

Ever since the Gods used that weapon to destroy the Titans Earth hasn't been the same. All of the Gods powers are still working through their slumber, they thought about that. However, their weapon destroyed more than the Titans. Very powerful monsters where recognised by the weapon and destroyed which is amazing, their reign of terror has finally been put to an end, but also once the weapon was set off all of the Spirit Heroes died at an instant vaporised. Their bodies to ash and the ash to nothing. There is still speculation to this day if the Spirit's where maintained, some believe they are but in 231 years there have been no sightings of any emerging. Those who still believe went out searching scavenging the world for the Heroes Artifacts that could lead them to them. They call themselves Spirit Seekers. They think if they can find the Spirit Heroes and unite them they could open the God's Tomb and put a stop to our impending doom.

In the year 219 everything was OK, not the best but OK. We had all learned to cope with the absence of Gods or even Titans, we appreciated the gift the Gods left us and went about our lives. Then everything changed. People had reports of strange occurrences at the God's Tomb, visions of a new God emerging at the Tomb. They reported that it would happen at the next full moon which was a month away. This gave chance to spread the message around and soon the whole continent knew about it. Some such as myself had accepted this new life and wanted nothing to do with it, fools didn't. Two months later on the next full moon half the continent managed to get into Lashia and some got to see the Tomb. Around the time when the moon was at it's highest a magical beam striked the Tomb's roof and caused it to crack slightly, something no one thought was possible. Once the powerful beam had stopped shining there stood a man atop the Tomb's roof. People began to cheer and the man stared on. Soon the man spoke in an encumbering tone, "PITIFUL MORTAL BEINGS, I AM OPHANUM YOUR NEW GOD. KNEEL BEFORE ME OR FACE MY WRATH!". There stood half the continent in simultaneous disbelief and confusion. The smartest of them knelt before the god and the wrest met the god's wrath. "AS YOU WISH!" spoke Ophanum, he then proceeded to fire a beam of immense energy from his hands towards those not kneeling. The ones who where vaporised in an instant where probably the most lucky of them all as then met death with little pain, however as Ophanum was unleashing his fury upon those not worthy of his attention his power grew weaker and so did his beam as instead of vaporising his victims they merely had their flesh melting off of their still living bodies as they screamed in agony begging for death. "I NEED SACRIFICES TO RECHARGE MY POWER! THOSE STILL UNWILLING TO KNEEL TO ME WILL BE THEM. THOSE WHO FOLLOW ME, GATHER UP SOME SACRIFICES AND BRING THEM TO ME!".

On that day a quarter of the continent had been culled by Ophanum. Life only got worse from there. Upon Ophanum revealing himself as a god to many peoples disbelief and horror, some remaining members of the Sixth Cult rose from underground to worship their new god. Ophanum used them to feed himself and grow more powerful. The Cult has been growing larger and larger but still Ophanum wants more. Recently he has been experimenting with creating constructs out of sacrifices, a hybrid of Spirit and Metal. It is currently the year 227 and Ophanum has announced his plans to create and finish his construct army so that he can march it to the God's Tomb and break it open in order to put a curse upon the sleeping Gods and make them his slaves. Those of us that aren't either a part of Ophanum's Cult or sacrifices for it are trying to find a way to open the Tomb before Ophanum and to bring the Gods back. Some are searching for the Spirit Heroes, others are trying to create an organisation to defeat Ophanum's Cult. There has also been rumours about using a Gateway as a weapon against Ophanum or the Tomb, but they'd need to find one first. I am conducting my own research and documenting the past in order to find some secrets that may be hidden from the naked eye. I feel that my goal may not be too far off and hopefully this Era will end soon. For better or for worse.
