Glossary for B&H: Ascension

  Characters of Note...

  ---Jacob Longstrider: MC, Lesser-Minor God, Vampire, Former Immortal

  ---Lia Silverwood: Wood Eld, Ranger, Companion to Jacob

  World State...

  For a thousand years, Jacob Longstrider slept. A thousand years of changes, until he finally woke up to a new world.

  The Chaos War devestated the world, all the great nations of the world fell to Chaos and War until her armies were defeated and she was cast out of the Mortal Plane, forever forbidden from returning. After two hundred years of peace and recovery, the Gods War began.

  The damage the mortals had sustained and were recovering from, was expanded upon and the war between the gods devestated the world even more. The Mortal Races eventually joined in the fight pitting Pantheon and Mortal against eachother until finally Adam and Eve with the Primordeals settled the various disputes and peace reighned once again accross the world.

  Yet while Jacob slept, word of a new god was whispered. With it came hope for some and dread for others. What would the Blood God become? Would he demand endless sacrifices, or would he be a benevolent god?

  Would the Pantheons that had been conquered rise from the ashes once again to do battle? Would a new Empire rise from the ashes of the old one?
