Hello Challengers, for this weeks newsletter we wanted to dive into the lore of Mythos. Specifically the different factions that make up the world.
Background Lore
Over 10 years ago, a convergence ripped pieces from every pantheon, time and location known to man. These pieces were connected into one plane to create a planet of pure chaos. Those trapped on this planet have been forced to come to terms that their gods will be unable to save them. While the world at large is a case of alliances forged from kinship or convenience, we will be focusing on a mountain range on the equator. A long since formed city of noble creatures at war with a dark force soon come to realize that everyone nearby is under threat of a new foe... monsters. Monsters of every form and size besiege the mountain pass. Now the tribes of mythical creatures, the dark powers of undead, and the long standing civilization will need to come to terms that temporary bonds must be forged in the heat of battle to keep extinction at bay.
The Factions
After creatures of all kinds were scattered across the land, it was absolute chaos, filled with beings who had to try to adapt to this new world, thus forming 5 factions.
The Hunger
Valysas
Monster Mash
The Hunted
Unaligned
The Hunger
An oligarchy led by those who have shown promise in finding prey, though a sharp tongue can help. They are often found in swamps, and mountain hideaways that lead to a network of Caverns, including the Fulkvare Tomb.
Valysas
Led by the person with the strongest “glow” (sense of justice/nobility). Multiple different groups within that report to them, and perform missions such as keeping peace between the different factions, monster excursions, rooting out corruption that they hear of, and hunting down criminals. After traveling for long distances they have found their section of the world. An expansive mountain range filled with forested valleys and flowing rivers leading to and from lakes.
Monster Mash
Left out of the other factions were powerful monsters that scattered the lands wherever they pleased. Although these creatures lack organization, they make it up in their strength. Monsters make a home wherever they can find, and are considered nomads that appear everywhere, they attack and eat at their leisure.
The Hunted
The faction is spread across the world separated into tribes. While tensions can change, there is rarely a way between tribes due to the abundance of bigger fish to fry. The Hunted have made the forests and mountains their home, making the ideal hunting grounds.
Unaligned
Like Monster Mash, these creatures were left out of the other factions, so they decided to form an alliance with each other. Although these creatures rarely interact with each other, they come together in times of need. The Unaligned travel and live alone, usually in isolated lands. They are found all throughout the world anywhere they can find, typically living simple lives with minimal resources.
