I'm creating a setting, you add to it.

[Mizagium]

I guess it's a good this the EU stands between New Midgard the Pelops, or else shit would go down

[Major Xeno]

Just Pelops, not THE Pelops.

Like the Manhattan Island.

Also, when I said that the Greeks are small but elite, that was understatement.

As in, the fighting force of the Greeks is half their population, 50,000 people, including women. The boys and girls work the fields and the fisheries. The elders teach some of the reincarnated Greeks, bringing them up to speed, as well as help with the construction of the new temples and anti-air batteries. For a comparison, the Hellenic Army now has 10,000 soldiers more than the United States Marine Corp Reserve.

Oh, and along with the heroes, the gods may have brought back some of the more well-known Greek thinkers. Image what Archimedes can do with the lever of the gods.

But... the Vikings are traditionally raiders, and the Hellenic people are now confined to a series of Islands....

[Mizagium]

Well, Mannheimr (the new viking Scandinavians) is currently engaged in a suicidal war with the Jotuns who have claimed Vinland. Plus, the oceans are kind of plagued by horrors now. Unfortunately, the Aesir have not actually appeared on Earth, as they continue to fight the Jotuns in Asgard and Jotunheimr.

So unless they lead an overland force through the EU, the chances of the our two groups clashing are slim right now.

[Major Xeno]

So do they care at all about the Angles or the EU?

I guess what I am saying is, who is the EU gunning for? Who are the Angles gunning for?

Like, how are the factions going to interact?

[Mizagium]

From what Derrick said (not here) the Angels are busy fighting Nyarlothep in the Middle East, and treating the humans who serve them like cattle.

The EU is busy trying to reclaim Britain from King Arthur, while dealing with Old Ones.

Mannheimr and the Holy Land hate each other, but have separate treaties with England.

The Jotuns and South American blood mages are giving America hell, while Jesus (Yashua) heads a passive rebellion against the executive dictatorship.

[Major Xeno]

So basically the Greeks are going to stay on their islands and bide their time. Prolly get attacked mostly by Nyarlothep, but also by the Holy Land, maybe a tad by the EU once Hellenic Tech enters their attention.

Overall goal is to survive, basically.

And yes, that is a challenge.

[Mizagium]

More or less. Survive.

Also. Brahma, the Hindu supreme deity, shat himself and suffered a serious mental breakdown, literally. All of those incarnations and avatars he assumed over the millenniums are now separate beings, which ruins the spiritual unity that Hindus desire after the escape from reincarnation.

So now, each incarnation is seeking to gain more followers so as to become more powerful and absorb the others, becoming the being of unity.

Scandinavia has become a land united by their old gods, the Aesir. The death of the All-Father by the hands of Micheal and the subsequent awakening of the Great Old Ones has heralded the onset of Ragnarok, the end of the world. Although Fenrir remains bound, and Loki imprisoned, the Aesir's old enemies, the Jotuns, are making the first move after centuries of hiding. A small group took Asgard by surprise and used Bifrost to come to Midgard, to Earth, where they razed Iceland, Greenland, and have made a home in Vinland (Newfoundland), where they seek to make a true home for themselves, having spent centuries living as the Aesir's punching bags. No more, they say. If they cannot have Asgard, they will have Midgard, the home of the mortals the Aesir care so much for.

Odin and the Aesir are held down in a war in Asgard, but have made themselves known to the menfolk that once worshipped them. Fight the Jotuns for the Aesir, and they will know eternity in the halls of Valhalla. Faced with the other options, siding with the Aesir seemed the best. Now the North Atlantic is embroiled in a war of attrition between the new Viking armies and the Jotun hordes.

Even as Odin's Valkyries fulfill the promise, Hel still claims her share of the dead - half - and refuses to surrender her Nair. So even though the new Vikings are returned to the battlefield upon death as einherjar, their numbers decrease exponentially.

Odin is the All-Father.

[Major Xeno]

Typo, I guess.

Think Miz means "The Aesir are held down in a war in Asgard" Not "Odin and the Aesir..."

[Xelwes]

Probably. I just don't want a story going down with that big of a misunderstanding going down.

[Mizagium]

No, God is the All-Father. YHWH, Allah. He is the key that holds the universe together - his existence keeps the Great Old Ones asleep, the Nidhogg from eating through Yggdrasil, Fenrir from escaping, Quetzelcoatl from rising. YHWH/God/Allah is the current head of the universe, which gives him the All-Father title. Odin is the head of the Norse Pantheon, as Zeus was of the Olypic.

[Mizagium]

I know Odin is in Norse, but we're melding different pantheon together, so we're changing things to make a bigger setting.

Like Brahma suffering a severe mental breakdown.

[Major Xeno]

Looks like we actually have a fair bit of interest in this.

So far:

America,
Incas,
Norse,
Hellenic,
Angles.

And possibly EU and Russia?

Why not open a thread, just to start the faction building process, start the discussions, etc.

[Mizagium]

that's derricks department
