The history of Nosgoth
Since the birth of Nosgoth, evolution has given the people one clue of its origins. The pillars, said to be the power that drives all things things. Life and death, brought about by the pillars it is the corner stone and most holy of all Nosgoth. The pillars called upon a circle of nine beings from all of Nosgoth destined from birth to be the Guardians of the Pillars. In the beginning their duties were selfless and even righteous. Tending to the people of Nosgoth and creating life and evolving into a civilized people. As time went on people grew the population of the world grew with it.Yet.. with the light came the dark, and sinister forces began to sink into the hearts of the circle. Nine Guardians coming to their demise by an entity that was known only as The Dark Entity. Effectively destroying the circle, but however unable to truly put it to an end.
With the description of the original Guardians came the birth of new Guardians. Some having yet to be born, others having lived for some time as humans. One by one the calling of their destiny brought them to their place. Not as pure or as righteous as their predecessors the pillars had set upon Nosgoth cruel and kind masters of magic and power. The only ones who could control and dispense the powers of the pillars rested in the New Circle. Coming into their own, the line of the Guardians had come to an understanding with one another.. yet trust with in the circle was rare.
Life through Nosgoth had evolved as well. Humans for so many hundreds of years had lived and died. Though one creature seemed to remain alive.. Vorador and his kind had evolved into a new type of creature. Through legend Vorador was said to be the fledgling of the myth Janos Audron. A horror story that humans told each other about the origins of the Vampire. Said to be as old as the Pillars, Janos was a dark creature who's heart beat in black. Merely a myth.. an excuse that explained the vampires that roamed Nosgoth.
Time brought these creatures into the same organization, the same evolution that made them powerful. Dark magic begot of dark blood.. Vorador became the monster. Sending hunting parties against the humans making them pay for the way they treated the vampires. The way they had once nearly ran the vampire population into extinction. With a great adversary comes great rivals and it would be Malek of the Circle to create the foundation of a group of holy warriors.
The Sarafan had started out as the protectors of human kind. To keep the balance of mortality, to allow it to live and die. It was unnatural for a human to live longer then his destiny knew what to do of them. For this reason, the original reason the Sarafan were created. Later they became more self- righteous, punishing those who went against the natural order by death. Maleks heart grew colder and with the war against the vampires Malek and Vorador had been destined to come face to face.. yet.. Vorador denied Malek the challenge. Dismissing the Guardian which only further angered the Guardian of Confrontation.
It was this bloody battlefield known at Nosgoth that balance tried to continue and play out. Kingdoms rose and fell.. and countries lived and died. The blood line of Ottmar had been destined to rule the human kingdoms of Nosgoth and the line had not been broken. Giving Nosgoth the semblance of order. Mortals, Vampires, and Immortals were all prey to the power of the Sarafan.. enemies of each other.
Present Day Nosgoth
Life in such times have never truly known calamity as the wars of the old Circle. With the birth of new human guardians the game continues. Such power weaker as it was never intended for mortal hands. The inner circle of Gaurdians has never known how or why they remain and like selfish children rule themselves like Gods among the mortals. Vampires the unyielding enemy mortals their toys.
The line of Ottmar has began again and with it the alliance of the Sarafan and Royal King Ottmar. Both forced to work together to rid themselves of any unholy divinities. The Vampire Clans have risen up and even demons come to enjoy the show of slaughter and destruction of remaining humanity in Nosgoth.
