In his last days, when the world was bloated with empire, Itos drew strength from the mad exultation born of the conquests of the Valcoth Empire, and in exchange bestowed twisted blessing upon their sorcerer kings, ordaining their greed as divine writ.

The other gods, realizing too late the danger of their mad king, rallied against Itos in the heavens above as mortal nations were dragged into war after war with the Valcoth Empire below.

What followed was a hundred compounding tragedies. The world tore itself apart as each old god fell, as each weapon too terrible to name was let loose.

I was originally thinking that the SE would be made entirely of Paragons, but I want Paragons to be a rare thing within the setting both for power scaling and laziness reasons, so instead I'm considering making the order open to any kind of warrior, both magic and mundane. Paragons would, instead, be an upper echelon within the order proper and are often put in charge of auxiliary forces on certain missions.

Noodles made from the innards of various winter squash are a moderately popular choice in Dunhallow, often made into fusion dishes using spice mixes that were popular in the now devastated Ikahakrasian Islands.

The Galalepi are rabbit humanoids created in the image of Galalance, the primordial rabbit god of pursuit, after he and his human followers died in an attempt to aid the lunar goddess Imenand in driving back a demonic infestation on the moon. Refusing to let their sacrifice be in vain, and refusing to lose the moon to this demonic horde, the goddess created new life from their deaths.

Using the fleeting pieces of Galalance's godly soul, the bodies of his followers, and her own power, Imenand created the first Galalepi as the ultimate demon hunters.

To this day, the descendants of these warriors stand vigilant in lunar fortresses built in the crevices that mark the moon's surface, ready to descend upon the earth below whenever demonic forces are pulled from the howling void.
