Pot Descriptions (these items will be available later, but quick reference) [item]I: The Golden Age[/item]: Long ago, the world was a shining utopia of balance and bliss. Many gods ruled over mortal life from high above the clouds, each with their own domain. Mortals could make offerings at the golden temples of their chosen gods to pray for blessings in their rare times of need. [item]II: The Golden Spring[/item]: The Goddess of Spring has domain over love and birth, the beginning and flourishing of all relationships. Her most sacred duty is that of bringing a new star to life on Earth below. She gives Her blessing to every living thing without bias, and to call upon Her gifts will surely lead to new love. [item]III: The Golden Summer[/item]: Summer is ruled by a God of force and honor. His domain is the most broad, encompassing all of the long hardships and brilliant triumphs that mortals must face in life. Through His intense training, each star can become strong and true, leading a life worth living. [item]IV: The Golden Autumn[/item]: Once upon a time, the Goddess of Autumn was a kind and gentle ruler of death. Her hands would steady the fearful when they reached the end of the road in life. Just like the seasons must change, and the autumn winds collect the last living things before winter, She was responsible for deciding when each mortal's life on Earth must end. [item]V: The Golden Winter[/item]: Though all life must come to an end, the God of Winter records the tale of each and every hero that passes on Earth. He is the historian, the bard, the astrologist who carefully sets each star back in the sky when they have left their place on Earth. Though this was once a celebration among all the gods of a life well-lived, the Golden Age is now long past. [item]VI: The Golden Fall[/item]: The beginning of the end occurred under the cover of a moonless night, when Her power grows strongest. The Goddess of Autumn put on her Helm of Invisibility and stole away to Earth in secret. No one yet knew that Her domain had become twisted by grief, mourning the many lives that She had to carry away from their living loved ones. [item]VII: The Golden Darkness[/item]: Channeling the power of death, the Goddess of Autumn took control of the stars in the sky under Her new moon. Jealous thoughts plagued Her: why should She pacify the dying while other gods enjoyed time with the living? Where once Spring had made living creatures, Autumn instead made creatures of destruction. Their forms were as twisted by emotion as the Goddess was, too lost in Her fury to pity the tattered Snarls She wove. [item]VIII: The Dark Army[/item]: With an army of blackened Snarls at Her command, the Goddess of Autumn declared war upon the Gods. Her own features became as undone as that of Her creations, as She tore down the golden paradise that had once been Her home. Every time the Snarls lashed out, rending reality to shreds, their frenzy grew more and more insatiably desperate for violence. [item]IX: The Golden Army[/item]: The Gods of Spring, Summer, and Winter were caught unawares by the sudden betrayal from Their fellow Goddess. Though They fought back against the Snarls, even They were becoming overwhelmed. Even worse, with so many dark stars surrounding them, They could not reach the mortals who cried out for aid on Earth below, nor warn any of the other gods. [item]X: The Dark Age[/item]: Reluctantly admitting defeat, the Gods of Spring, Summer, and Winter surrendered most of the Earth to the Fallen Goddess and Her Snarls. The Gods raised a cloud barrier of swirling mist to protect the only part of the world that They could still reach; the highest mountain peak on Earth. The rest of reality began to unravel, rapidly disintegrating into unformed chaos under the Goddess' desperate hands.
