"'It is said that this world was born within vast, black, coldness.  There was no heat, no life, no light upon Astoria for as long as any race can remember.  That is, however, until Astoria the Great Spark, was born.  They say Astoria lit the world, and brought life to these wastes, and is the spark of all creation.""Astoria is the father of Pelor, god of sunlight, and from Pelor came a number of deities: Boccob and Wee Jas, father and mother of magic, Kord, god of strength, Heironeous, god of justice, and a number of other, minor deities.""It is said Necril was born from Astoria’s purge of darkness, all of the world’s darkness concentrated into one being.  One of Astoria’s truest enemies, his followers plan to bring the world back into darkness, but through what means nobody (few) know.  From Necril came Erythnul, god of slaughter, and Hextor, god of war and anger.  Malicious beings of spite and terror.""The gods once lived among us, until the events of the Great Flood. Some say the Ancient Gods have been killed, while others say the gods now live within the Aether, though none have ever reached the stars to see them. It is believed each of the gods reside within their own constellation among the stars. Some, such as Necril and his followers, lay in the dark, blank spaces in the sky, where no starlight shine through. Astoria himself resides upon Prome, the largest of Astoria’s three moons.”" ”

Gods like to see an atheist around. Gives them something to aim at.”
