The result of this covenant was that the bond between the First Ones and the land was broke, and some of it was taken in by the High Mountain Men. However, they could not take it all. The rest of this bond spilled across the land, its untapped energy waiting to be harnessed by those that first encountered it. | The result of this covenant was that the bond between the First Ones and the land was broke, and some of it was taken in by the High Mountain Men.

+ | It also resulted in the shadows of the first ones being born, parts of these beings that could not leave the land with the rest of them. Each first one left a shadow in the realm, the parts of it that could not leave. Most of these Shadows have become something else, but still others remain and those have been gathered by the descendants of the High Mountain Men and sealed within the earth. | ||

+ | Some Shadows quickly found the energy spilled out from the bond because of the Paklish and thought they could regain their wholeness. They scrambled for power in desperation but could not repair what was lost. Instead they became something else entirely: Gods of the realm. The Gods are all connected to some natural force, which was tied to the energy they took that spilled from the bond. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each of these beings exists in three forms, though only one at any given time: Vapor, Beast, and Man. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Vapor === | ||
+ | |||
+ | When a God is vapor, they exist solely as the energy they collected in an attempt to become whole again. In this form they can wield their true power, dominating the natural resource that is connected to the energy of the bond which they took. However they lack a human intellect in this form, and instead have an alien intelligence unlike any we have encountered. As such they can never remember anything from this state, and rarely remain it in for whatever reason. Its more likely you will encounter a God in their Beast or Man state. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Beast === | ||
+ | |||
+ | When a God is beast, they exist as some huge form of an animal or other impressive natural living form. While in this state they have a heightened animal intelligence, | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Man === | ||
+ | |||
+ | When a God is man, they exist as a human but retain hints of their beastly shape. A God that is a Large Wolf when a Beast might retain the ears and the tail for instance. While in this form they have a truly human intelligence and can easily relate with other men and the races of the land. However, they have only a blurry connection to their Beast state, and no real connection to their Vapor state. Often a God in human form might state that they become something else when they transform, as they lose their human intelligence and perspective. | ||
