In Arcmont, the city that is the centre of the world
The sun never set on the empire of the Seligian.
The entire world lie underneath the mercy of the Seligian. There was no worthy opposer. The only threat comes from within. Still, like many empire in the past, this is the time when they make a choice.
To chase the dream of an ever lasting empire, or to be content with what they have.
Like many empire in history, the dream of an ever lasting empire is impossible. Kingdom falls and rises, great and terrible leaders appeared and died, nothing is forever.
Still, like many empire in history, the Seligian is not content with what they have.
The war of expansion continues.
The Seligian's eldritch constructions march onto the battlefield, neutralizing all magic. Their soldiers, all superhuman, crush the remaining resistance.
Still, there are hope for the rest of the world. Certain environmental magic from far enough away can resist the constructs of the Seligian. The Gods of the people march onto the battlefield to oppose the tyranny of the empire.
However, there was only one that didn't make his appearance.
The God of the Seligian.
The Capital City of the Seligian, Arcmont
The construction of the One-Eyed Shadow God was underway.
As their expansion continues, the Seligian was met with heavy divine resistance.
The Gods of the world, or at least, avatars of the Gods rose up to oppose them. Rebel, leader of the resistance, saboteur, weapon of mass destruction.
All the different Gods serve different goals, and while the Seligian can oppose divine opponent with enough force, they are a nuisance. As thing continue, the prayers of the people of the world was becoming stronger, they screams out for help, and the avatar that was sent become more and more dangerous. If this continues, the dream of an endless empire will be an unattainable dream.
And so the conqueror went home and pray.
Their own god, the One-Eyed Shadow God was an elusive god. It is unknown when he was worshipped within the Seligian culture, however, for the longest time, the One-Eyed has always been there.
The One-Eyed Shadow God watches over the children as the Seligian men and women went out to conquer, and when they come home, the children would be safe, that is the promise the Shadow god makes with them.
However, the Shadow God was contradictory, he was a god that watches over the children, he was also someone that lurks in the Shadow.
Even to now, the existence of the One-Eyed Shadow God cannot be confirmed. Even with the knowledge of the other culture, the One-Eyed one refuses to come. It was not even a lack of faith, despite the Seligian's lack of faith for other culture, they are pragmatic enough to believe in the existence of God, and their own God of course.
It is possible that the One-Eyed one does not exist, however, all of these prayers and worships have to go somewhere.
The religious scholar postulates a theory, as someone who lurks in the shadow, a god of shadow, the One-Eyed one is evasive by nature.
Effort to get him to appear in the battlefield was doomed to failure in the first place. Still, the Seligian built towers and monuments.
They built magnificent temples on the bone and blood of the conquered people.
Wherever they place the statue of the One-Eyed Shadow God, the avatars of the gods of that region stopped appearing to oppose them.
It is unknown when the One-Eyed will appear, however, the leading theory is that, when the old One-Eyed appears, he is going to destroy the world.
The most worshippers, the most territory, the most powerful nation, the One-Eyed has never appeared despite all the prayers.
When it is his time however, the rest of the world can only think about it and despair, something catastrophic is on the horizon.
And yet still, the Seligian eagerly awaits that day.
Watching from the highest building in Arcmont, the One-Eyed Shadow God watches on. Just where will his people, these willful people.
This is a story of the one who does the oppressing.
