A Legend

In the time before form there existed a fertile spirit, a kind and loving force, a wife to the Wanderer, a giver of life. Her name was Danaan.

And as the infant time slowly crawled through the morass of formlessness, this spirit gave life to new spirits and she named them Dagda, Mathgen and Nuada.

The sons of Danaan were a strange breed. The clutches of formlessness stifled them. Danaan felt dreams of great beauty in their minds, dreams of a new thing foreign to all that was. She found these thoughts a treasure and sought the aid of the Wanderer to give them life.

And the Wanderer was a lord of peace. He looked into the minds of his sons. He saw the beauty and knew the danger. As he pondered their visions, another spirit sensed something of interest was about to grow and he slithered to the Wanderer's side.

The Wanderer regarded the foul presence at his side and, sadly, realized its touch, its knowledge, would be needed if his loving wife was to be satisfied. At that price he abandoned all thought of progressing further and departed, ready to wander anew. And before he flew, a new life came to Danaan and she was called Hecate.

Now the Eldest Serpent was enticed by the breadth of the things he felt in the Wanderer's mind. As Fate ordained, once enticed, his mind was not one to set loose the object of his desire. Subtly he wormed his way into the councils of Danaan's sons and became as one with them.

In the fullness of time the Cunning Serpent heightened the yearning of the children. Even Hecate, the pale young flower of Danaan's heart felt a stirring for the things her brothers dreamed.

The doting mother watched as her children waned with longing. In the absence of the Wanderer the Serpent came to her and told of a way to give life to her children's dreams. He spoke of a cold and violent spirit, a force who held the key to all they desired and left Danaan to consider his words.

And Danaan, above all things, was a mother. Even greater than her love for the Wanderer was her devotion to the spirits she gave life. For ages the Serpent's words burned in her heart, a brooding poison from which there was no escape. Gathering all her strength, she set out to face the foul spirit, the giant and demon Ymir.

The Serpent Kototh felt Danaan's decision. He smiled. Once she was well on her journey he took himself to the children and told them their mother was slave and captive of the evil Ymir. While Hecate set out to find the Wanderer the Sons of Danaan rode forth to battle on the heads of Kototh.

And Danaan found the frigid being whose name was Ymir. He was a vast creature, ancient and cold, a terrible force who felt her warmth and clasped it to him as a man deserts the snow for a warm woman's arms.

For an age Danaan was held in Ymir's cold embrace. She struggled but found all hope of escape beyond her. In time her four rescuers sallied forth to her aid, arriving at her side as her spirit twisted in the throes of childbirth.

Now Kototh was a wise spirit. Nothing had yet happened that was a surprise to the hoary serpent. As he saw Danaan's pain he knew the time was right to bring the dreams to life. Flinging the sons of Danaan toward Ymir he urged them to battle while he set himself as a beacon to hurry the Wanderer to their side.

And the sons used all of their might to lay the foul Ymir's hold on their mother and as their battle achieved frenzy its might gave birth to a new thing and it was called Light and Kototh beheld it with wonder and greed.

Ymir clasped Danaan to him with a hoary arm while the other battled the Whelps of the Wanderer. As their strength began to fade their loving mother surrendered the last of her power to them to insure their survival. Furious at the departure of his warmth Ymir threw Danaan aside and strode forth to reclaim what she had given.

Now the three headed Lord of Doom felt the coming of the Wanderer and knew it was time to strike. Throwing all his ancient might at Ymir he drove him back until he stood over what remained of the spirit Danaan.

And the Wanderer came forth to the scene of battle with the fair daughter Hecate at his side and he saw his sons weakened and Danaan among the fallen. Rage exploded from his heart, newborn and steaming. Power, blinding and potent, filled his soul as he strode forth to slay the foul Ymir.

And Kototh saw the fruition of the dream and smiled and he slid away from the approaching Wanderer and gathered the children to his side. As the Master of Magics cast his might the Serpent prepared the children to act.

And so the battle progressed. Ymir fell to his knees before the might of the Wanderer's frenzy. As he knelt, nearly one with the pale spirit Danaan, the Cunning Serpent led the children forth and their strength was added to the Wanderer's arm and Ymir and Danaan were cast forth into a spinning vortex of dark and light and from that vortex form was born.

And as form was given life it reached out to the formlessness and became one with it. Seeing the good that had been wrought, the Wanderer smiled. A moment later he felt a strangeness and knew Danaan was lost to him forever.

With tear filled eyes the Wanderer gathered the infant spirits of Danaan's demise to his breast and he called forth to his sons. To Nuada he passed the sweetest jewel and he named her Brigit and to Dagda he gave the most radiant jewel and she was named Rhiannon and to Mathgen, the youngest of the brothers, was given the last child whose name was to be Luchta.

And he ordered the brothers to cling to the children of Ymir and keep them from his sight and taking his four children to his side he set forth and began the work of creation in earnest.

And Kototh saw the gleaming world before him and his heart burned with lust for it and he slithered forward joining the All-Father and the Children of Danaan in the True World.

Another Excerpt

And the gods looked upon the infant form and knew it was good and the Wanderer sat himself on the heights and did assign to each his place in the realm of form. Even unto the Serpent did he extend a place in this new realm.

As the ages passed form grew and the work of the gods gave birth to many wonders and Kototh looked upon the creations of the others and he knew jealousy. He looked upon the beauty of Rhiannon and he knew lust. In cunning he gave birth to the first race of things and called them Dragons. In lust he gave birth to Kotan and, in all faith, offered her to Dagda in place of Rhiannon.

Now Dagda was a noble god. His elder did place the sweet Rhiannon in his care and, moreover, he had found the awakening of love at the sight of her and so he declined the Serpent's offer.

And Kototh pressed his suit for he knew the child of Rhiannon would be a being of surpassing greatness and he yearned to have the child as he lusted to know the touch of the perfect goddess who would bear him.

And Dagda declined

Now Kototh knew anger. For an age he plotted his vengeance and gave birth to his court. With the completion of the vile Balor he again pressed his suit for Rhiannon with the might of his children and the power of the Firbolg at his side.

And Dagda declined and war was born

And now the Wanderer came forth and with Nuada unarmed and Balor caged did order the new child war to stop. As Brigit's new daughter Morrigan screamed her rage peace came to the land and the combatants returned to the halls of friendship.

In the fullness of time Rhiannon gave birth to Lugh, ending much of Kototh's desire for her. And the Serpent slid forth with birthing gifts for the new one and he did offer to stand as fosterer of the child.

And Dagda declined.

Legend Again

And the Nameless One saw the blight the gods gave birth to and he was not pleased and over the ages he welded the newly formed sons of his ilk together and he plotted the eradication of the cancer.

And valiantly the true sons of Entropy enticed the Eldest Serpent into partnership in their cause and together they gave birth to Armageddon and the power of the Nameless One roiled forth to shatter all that should not be.

Now among the Nameless Hosts were the leaders of a young thing named Chaos, beings who accepted form in order to destroy it. And they sat together, seven together, plotting the final blow as the might of Tehuti strode onto the battlefield.

For an age the valiant kings warred on the foul thing form. At last, the hoary Tehuti put an end to all war and did call a Convocation of Gods and the seven who were the Maskim considered their choice as their masters of the Elder Law rebelled against the interfering one.

And the Elder Law was savagely cast forth into the darkest Limbo and held there by Tehuti's might. Seeing his lords caged the lord Choronzon rose to fight anew and at his side the master of the Maskim Abaddon ordered a halt. When next the time came it would find Chaos prepared to slay the unwanted.

Yet Another Legend

With the birth of form shape came to the power who was the Sleeper in the Egg and he too was born and the totality of his might brought light to the skies and he looked around at the rolling world and was disturbed.

And with a mighty yawn the Sleeper set a throne upon the egg and placed both on the fulcrum of eternity and, smiling, he slept and the powers gently rocked his throne.

In the fullness of time Armageddon came to the planes and the throne rocked with each mighty battle until finally the Sleeper could bear it no longer. And gathering his might about him he did stride forth to see what caused the waves of violence that so disturbed his rest.

And so Tehuti came to see the battles and he arrives as the hosts of Elder Law and Chaos stood ready to shatter the Elder and he saw the evil this would cause and knew anger.

And with a snarling roar that shook the heavens he bellowed let there be Order and so the fire of Law was set alight in the heart of Nergal's vile jewel.

And the fire burned forth and the jewel became pure, a beacon of order and life, a sun. And Kototh saw the blinding brilliance of his jewel and he tightened his hold on his prize.

Now, trapped within the burning sphere sat Metatron and all the power of the new Law and Labbiel bowed smiling to his Lord and set out to gain release for his liege.

And with tricks and jests Labbiel did tempt the Serpent into allowing his exit and with scoffing humor did he enrage the Eldest One into loosening his hold and as Labbiel warred with the furious serpent the force of Law burst forth and, as one, cast him from the heavens for all time.

Verses III - VII, the Book of Labbiel, 1713 Bhamotin

A Story

And so the Lords of Evil saw the broken, sundered realm as the Convocation was born.

And they reveled in the battered weakness of the Sidh and saw their way to battle on despite the will of Balance.

And the Queen Mailora did state a plan to their great ones and from their power and her loins did spring Man.

And the patrons of dark and nothing did enthrall their get forging a sword for the destruction of what remained of life.

And from on high the puissant Jariel saw greatness in the newborn and sought the Balance lord Gasnar Dem with Metatron's permission. From the pit that was her throne Mailora laughed.

And Gasnar Dem heard the word of Law and knelt before the foot of his master. An eon later he saw the price for what must be. With the Puissant Prince at his side, the Lifegiver sought the Queen of Pain. As all three found death, Metatron and Tehuti struck the dark children.

And with the divine merger souls were born and free will came to Man.

An abridged excerpt from the Tome of Ashur

Legend has it that the human race was created by Chaos. After more than a thousand years as its thrall and tool, the joint action of Law and Balance freed mankind from the yoke of Chaos. They gave man the ability to choose his place in the eternal wars. He was no longer a thing used at the whim of darkness and death.

Metaphysically, the human soul was forged from the essence of Jariel, Gasnar Dem and Mailora. In this way, man achieved the place Balance required. He had it within him to freely choose his place in the eternal struggle. He went from being the child and pawn of Chaos to the weight of the Balance.

Neutrality

The Gods and their Courts

Notes

Relative Divine Strength

Should you wish to compare the power of the gods, square the Contact level listed for them. A CL3 god has a relative power of 9. A CL7 god has a relative power 49. To figure the chance that one god could pound another, look at it as an odds ratio with the rating yielded being a HPV for divine combat.

The MEL of a god is ten times the contact level. A full god, CL 4 and up, can pretty much do as he chooses in his area of power unless another god stands in opposition to him. His Mana Level is 100 points per CL.

Another way to handle effective MEL for gods would be different and possibly more reasonable from a campaign standpoint. The MEL would be (CL squared)+12. Potential EL is half of MEL RU. If a HPV" compatible with the mortal world is needed, it can be calculated as (CL squared) times TEN plus 30. Thus a CL2 god would have a HPV 70, a CL7 god a HPV 520.

Areas of Influence

The titles of the various gods delineate the areas they have influence in and indicate the kinds of powers that they can provide or employ. As to interfering, they generally only do so when summoned by a sorcerer or seeking to acheive a set goal. In the second case, personal interference is rare. Operating through mortals or magic-users they are patrons of is most common. The Convocation penalizes overt interference.

Convocation of Gods

There must be some sort of covenant or tie that keeps the gods themselves from coming down and capping your ass if you get too big...they must resort to champions or lesser avatars, of which they do not have an unlimited supply (as seen in nearly all fantasy stories I know of, otherwise the heroes would die as soon as they flipped off the first god.

The Covenant is called "the Convocation of the Gods." It is a treaty mediated by Balance which ended the Armageddon that sundered the True World into three parts and nearly shattered existence. All divine forces that operate in the worlds now are signatory thereto or affected by it. Dangerous forces that would not agree to it (primarily the Elder Law) were imprisoned outside the three fragments of the True World by Balance. Another faction that refused, the Kotothi, suffered restrictions to the Lower World as their presence was essential to maintaining Balance.

Who/what defines or enforces this covenant? What limits are there on the powers that be in their impinging of the middle world?

Tehuti, the God of Balance, formulated the Convocation. It is enforced by the Triad of Fate, led by Manu, and the Balance alignment as a whole.

Some of the basic features of it are:

1. Each divinity is allowed the realm their power deserves. To a great extent, maintenance and growth of said power will be proportional to the worship and service given to the divinity by mortal life.
2. All may, within reasonable limits, react to insults, affronts and assaults against their nature, house and areas of power.
3. Should a God or Goddess use DIVINE power outside his or her realm, his opposition is allowed the use of a like amount of power outside his or her realm without restriction.

   EXAMPLE - Dagda decides the presence of an Elder Dragon near the sacred grove of Lower World Elysium is not appropriate. In anger, he destroys it with a blast of divine power. We will call that a 50 point attack. As a result, sometime at his choosing, Kototh may freely use 50 points of divine power as he sees fit.

4. Use of limited amounts of divine power through a servant, follower or champion is permitted as long as said MORTAL acts as he chooses under the divinity's direction. As long as he or she has a degree of free will, this exception is allowed.
5. Direct combat between divine forces is prohibited. Only battles of servants created under rule 4 will be allowed.

The above are some of the basic laws of the Convocation of the Gods. Hope they clarify things a bit.
