It is here for the purpose of archiving or making it more accessible to a certain audience, and this should be kept in mind while reading the contents of this page and all it's subpages. In short, the contents of this page are to be considered OOC knowledge, except for characters who have strange, witchcrafty-like abilities and omnipresence which makes them gods, as this hasn't been revealed by Aclian just yet..

Creation

The Ordo Concilium originally came to existence with the eldest of the gods, Azarus, descended to the realms of mortals and visited the then fledgling town of Ishkantar in the barren wastes of central eastern Dwilight. Present day, this would put it near the center of the Desert of Silhouettes. His task was to bring this single town under his sway, and that was what he did by only the means a mortal has at their disposal. The way he converted the town to his worship was simple. He did not visit the town as a god-incarnate--no, he visited the town under the guise of a mortal, with the name of Aclian.

And it was under the name of Aclian that he saw to the expansion and swift growth of the insignificant town. Within a century he had seen to the harnessing of the spring at the center of Ishkantar, the digging of canals in such a way that allowed farmlands to prosper, a wall to hold off raiders, and a castle from which he could see the bustling town. By this time, a good portion was convinced that he was indeed an envoy from high, and many worshiped his true name of Azarus. Whether this is because of the designs he created, the way he spoke, or just the fact that he never aged, remains to be truly understood.
