Titans

Eao had always existed alongside his wife, Eoa, who reined in the supreme vacuum of space along with the eight other titans. One day, Eoa requested to Eao that the two bear children for her to care for. With much distain, Eao agreed and Eoa created the twenty gods of the realm. Eao then crafted the world, Oreium, in which their children were to live upon. In time Eao became extremely controlling over his children, forbidding them from spawning creations of their own, and so the twenty gods rose up and attempted to kill Eao and take the whole of their universe for themselves. Their first attempt was unsuccessful, as all the titans fought against the gods, overpowering their efforts. Eoa could glimpse into the future and saw that it would be her children who would eventually bring downfall to the titans. Fear and guilt plagued Eoa’s every waking moment. After the first conflict, Eoa, frightened by the uprising of her children and the coming future, fled into the deepest depths of space and hid away, vowing never to return. Eao and the the remaining eight titans were finally defeated when the gods trapped them within cursed artifacts, which they then buried far beneath Oreium, ensuring no one would discover them. Eao’s first son, Aiero, knew the titans could not be killed, and so imprisoned them instead, planning to create new life while passing himself and his siblings off as the creators of Oreium. Eao, after being defeated by the gods, was sealed within a clay vas which bears the image of his face at the moment of his imprisonment.

After foreseeing the defeat of the titans, Eoa, Wife of Eao, fled into the deepest parts of space and attempted to find a sanctuary away from her children. Little did Eoa know, her children meant her no harm. Nevertheless, the immortal being travelled through space and, to this day, continues flying through the unending nothingness to find peace on another world, wherever one may lie.

Karnas was the youngest brother of Eao and the self proclaimed king of the titans who ruled under his eldest brother and controlled the titans alongside Soylen, his queen, Thalmiline Titan of the Ages and Jurikos, the Titan of Law. Karnas was eventually found to be having an affair with Thalmiline and were discovered by Soylen who, in turn, murdered them both with a rare poison she crafted, only capable of killing titans. Jurikos came across this slaying and demanded that Moulderoth, the Titan of Creation of Rebirth, resurrect them both. Karnas and Thalmiline were restored, but Soylen still demanded justice for her king’s betrayal. Jurikos then blinded Thalmiline and robbed her of her youthful appearance. Karnas was then forced to forever stand in matrimony alongside Soylen, and if he was to ever be unfaithful again, he would be executed with no chance of being brought back. Karnas, after being defeated by the gods, was imprisoned within a golden crown.

After poisoning Karnas and Thalmiline, Soylen became quite feared by the gods and was eventually ignored following the events of her king’s resurrection. Over time she came to hold more authority over the titans and Jurikos would come to serve under her. Soylen, after being defeated by the gods, was sealed within a silver and purple jeweled necklace.

Altimar, the older brother of Karnas and Moulderoth, was entrusted by Eao to watch over Oreium and to care for Eoa’s children in his place, as Eao had no desire to tend to his own. Altimar became to surrogate father of the gods, but always kept undying loyalty to Eao, despite desiring the affection of Eoa. After Thalmiline was blinded and deformed by Soylen and Jurikos, she fell into a great depression and eventually fled to Oreium to escape the presence of the other titans. Altimar welcomed Thalmiline and offered her peaceful seclusion within the deserted sea caves of the far East. Here, Altimar would care for her and the two would eventually form a secret union. When the day came that the gods rose against the titans, Altimar tried his best to hid Thalmiline and protect Eao, but it was no use. Altimar refused to strike down the gods, whom he had grown to love as his own, yet, he refused to let the gods harm Eao. Altimar was the first titan to be sealed away during the second conflict, and had no problem letting the god’s follow through with his defeat. Out of respect, the gods sealed Altimar within a sword which was to be hung in a great hall built beneath the planet. This hall was to be visited and tended to, daily. To this day, Altimar is the only titan the gods would ever reconsider releasing.

Oceanikos was a standalone titan, not related to the others. He hated the rule of the other titans and preferred the company of lesser boastful beings. He was overjoyed when Eao created Oreium and took to being the watcher of it’s oceans quite quickly. Oceanikos lived among the waves, away from the gods and lived in peace for a time, eventually becoming the ruler of the ocean and growing a complex similar to that of the gods he despised. Oceanikos was imprisoned, by the gods, within a mirror.

Long before Eao, Moulderoth learned the secret of creation and was especially gifted and returning the dead to life. He was the only titan who could do this, and took an oath to never destroy any living thing. Moulderoth was responsible for teaching all the titans of their powers, but he could never really find a way to explain his ability of resurgence. He took it upon himself to resurrect any titan that would die, believing that they needed to stick together to survive, and even knew how to resurrect himself, if killed. Moulderoth eventually grew disdainful of his siblings and took to resurrecting beings on a whim. After being defeated by the gods, Moulderoth was sealed within a stone coffin.

Archaris was the sister of Altimar and a born soldier, sent to watch over the battlefields of Oreium. It was her who taught the gods the aspects of war and showed them how to fight. Nevertheless, she served Eao through and through, even secretly loving him and so she was casted down and sealed within a spear, displayed alongside her brother within the hall the gods had built for them after the titan’s defeat.

Thalmiline lived out her lather life within a cavern by the seas which Altimar had crafted for her. The two fell in love and, after hearing of Altimar’s imprisonment, lashed out against the titans, almost killing them in a single blow. Felling sorry for the blind titan, the gods sealed her away within the walls of the caves she’s dwelled within. However, she was now to be eternally separated from her love, Altimar, for the gods knew nothing of their union. Thalmiline’s vengeful presence now haunts those caverns, awaiting Altimar’s return. One, she believes, will never come.

Jurikos taught morals and respect to the gods, serving as a second mother to them. However, Jurikos was tricked and was more of an extension of their immoral father, rather than a care giver. So when the gods came to take her down they felt no remorse in tarnishing Jurikos and the metaphorical high horse she stood upon. Jurikos was sealed within a violet ribbon and buried beneath a faraway forest, with no marker to remember her grave by.
