User:Roy/Roberd: Old Theories

Alternate explanation for the Age of Darkness

While these theories are obviously incorrect, out of deference to the service of Roberd to the Church, and his position as a theologian, his writings are maintained by the Church. However, they are deeply flawed and should not be viewed as correct - High Priest Selene.

Why exactly the Overlord came isn't known, they say that Sartan was forbidden to interfere with mortals beyond the East Continent. Other claim that Ramsus never proclaimed the Church of Sartan as a sect of the Church of Ibladesh and sought to end the self invited ramification of His religion, mostly because He wasn't in control of it. But most clergymen of the Church of Sartan believe that Ramsus feared Sartan's growing strength. As not only the followers of the Church of Ibladesh hailed His name, but also those of the Church of Sartan. The writings say that those who believe channel energy to their God on mystical ways, whether it be through anxiety or love. Being hailed by the creation makes a God even far more powerful. The clergymen believed that Ramsus came to the Far East to put a stop to it. And Sartan as the youngest among the four Gods needed to learn His place. To secure his position as Overlord, Ramsus presented himself as the evil God, Adghar. The followers of Adgar were easily convinced and worshiped Ramsus under another name. With His renewed strength Ramsus engaged Sartan into an eternal struggle. For years they fought each other, an everlasting battle between these deities. But even though He could not defeat Sartan, He did distracted Him from aiding His followers in battle. Sartania and Arcachon waged their religious war against each other, but without the aid of Sartan, it came with a high price. Sartania lost many regions, either to Arcaea or Arcachon. And believers of the Church sought their support elsewhere. Through the exhaustion of war, Sartan lost many followers, and so strength to hold off Ramsus. Eventually Ramsus won the battle and exiled Sartan to the 'underworld'. Probable to serve as punishment, to watch how Ramsus would finish off every single follower of the Church of Sartan, or just to prevent any intervention with the mortal world. But up till now, the truth behind these events hasn't seen the daylight yet. And after the fall of Sartania, the Sartanian nobility remained together and traveled south far from the influence of Ramsus. If Ramsus remained to meet the speculations of the mortal beings or just left isn't known. And it was the young deceased hero, sir Wixalot Danlawer who ascended High Priest Roberd Ghia's soul to confront him with the current situation and so the importance of his mission. And if he sought to contact Sartan back in the mortal world, he required to look into the fire and allow his heart to speak through his soul, and Sartan would listen to his words. According to sir Wixalot, Sartan has learned to control some of the Darker powers which hold their presence in the undead world. And it's since that day that the followers of Sartan attend to fire, as a symbol of warmth and light, a symbol of Sartan.
