The Temple of the Trinity Gods

In the Beginning

In ancient times the three supreme gods created the world and the Race of Man. Each of the Gods gave a part of their spirit to the Human race: Creation, War and Peace.In this time Man spread and covered the face of the world. At first the Gods spoke with Men and helped them tame the world. Great temples and cities were built in a complete union of Heaven and Earth.


The Age of Anarchy

As the power of Man reached it's zenith it collapsed into decadence and the Ancient Realms fell apart. As wars waged the temples and cities were destroyed. After a period of anarchy and war lasting one thousand years the Age of Anarchy drew to an end. But in this time all knowledge of the Ancient Times and the Gods was forgotten.


The Age of Rebuilding

As the Age of Anarchy ended Men began to build new realms and cities without any memories of what had gone before. It invented new Gods to worship and the Trinity Gods faded out of memory. Because all Men have part of the power of Creation in them the False Gods, whilst not True Gods, gained some of the divine powers of True Gods when enough Men beleived in them enough for them to take form. Thus the Trinity Gods were replaced with the False Gods and so the Age of Rebuilding came to an end.


The Return of the Trinity Gods

We are now living in the time in which, according to an ancient prophesy, buried in the vaults of the Octavian Family, says that two men will be born. One will be born in a time of war under the sign of the Eagle and he will become a warrior king and rule over a mighty realm. The second will be the Prophet of the Trinity Gods, born in the reign of the first as a star falls from the sky. He will bring Man back to the true faith and unite Man as one, heralding the Golden Age which will last untill the end of Creation. The first of these men was born seventeen years ago and is coming of age right now.


The Trinity Gods

CENTAURUS - is the creator. Alone of the Gods he is neither male nor female, taking any form he chooses. He created the universe and helped create Man. As the creator he has dominion over all the elements and is the guardian of civilisation, poets, craftsmen and musicians. It is his power, Creation, that enables men to create new things.

AQUILA - is the god of war. He entered his power, War, into the Race of man when they were created so that they might learn of hounor and courage. He has dominion over all places where wars are waged and has ultimate power over who lives and dies in battle. He is the guardian of warriors, heros and those of noble heart.

CYGNUS - is the goddess of peace. She entered her power,Peace, into the Race of Man so that they would be able to know love, prosperity and happiness. She has dominion over all land where war is not being waged. She is the Guardian of farmers, merchants, diplomats and those who work the land and sea.

Unfortunately the powers of Peace and War are opposed to each other leading to a constant battle in the hearts of men which will never be resolved.
