Overview & Creation

"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die."
-HP Lovecraft   Clerics worship gods, warlocks steal powers from gods or godlike beings, paladins make oaths to the gods, but why do all that when you have the power to become one... after all "it is not the gods that makes the people, but the people that make the gods." - A very good friend of mine
