The Game

“How about a little challenge, all of you?”- Arkhalis

Description
”The Game” is the origin story behind the world of Averill and follows the creation of the planet and the responsibility of every god. The game also defines the outcomes of all the gods lives in the presently story.

The true purpose for the game is never mentioned although left intentionally ambiguous. Was the game a metaphor for finding purpose in life itself? Was the game a joke about how easily people are occupied in their own fantasies? All questions left up to the player to decide their opinion on. What is irrefutable though is that The Game was a legitimate event that happened and defines the story of Averill itself, the adventure and all the tales to ensue~

Players are never given this story directly though it’s hinted through later events over the course of Outerlands. The version players would be told tells only of the GOC creating the land and the gods being made to grow a thriving land with a harmonious 12 races living alongside each other. This is the real detailed story of how the gods came to be.

Chapter 1: Origin
Gathered round the table, Arkhalis and Dracon sit. It’s a void room they’re sitting in with no light and utter darkness surrounding. In the vast emptiness of this realm Dracon and Arkhalis feel insignificant albeit every power belongs to them. Un-contempt Arkhalis starts by creating light, a brightness that eclipses the room and gives warmth to the surroundings. Dracon follows Arkhalis by creating space, an area only described as much like the darkness they were used to but a blank canvas waiting to be painted. Dracon’s creation of space alongside Arkhalis’ creation of light gave them both an idea. The two collaborated over much passing of time, although time was yet to be a concept the two had eventually created land and uninhabited planets.

As time went by and debates were sparked unto what the fate of their creations were going to be used for the two were still indecisive. Arkhalis believed that the world should be shaped to give neutrality and an unbiased balance of good and evil. Dracon had seen suffering before and only wanted a perfect world the both of them could rule over with decisions that mattered. Eventually the both of them agreed to a settlement in that a world would be created in the name of the gods themselves. This world would be inhabited by beings created in the same image as the two, would be only a utopia but not perfect and finally that they would create beings to govern the land. Arkhalis believed as this world best suited the interests of Dracon he would mutually agree to the naming of it as Draeconia. Draeconia would be the residence of the two, a land ruled by the creators, a paradise of mortals and immortals.
