Kynorne (KIE-norn) is the  patriach of the newly-formed Kynornian pantheon and the chief diplomat with the other deific factions that have emerged since the Blood Quest. A rather quirky individual, Kynorne is known to have a good humor and a ready smile. He is quick to anger, however, at those who mistreat the poor, the helpless, those who invoke his blessings, and those who seek hospitality. In an era of uncertain politics and confused nationality, Kynorne commands his followers to grant amnesty to all who seek it regardless of race, profession, or creed.

History/Relationships: As the first of the New Gods to arise as a result of the Glorious Ascension, Kynorne's very existence is subject to as much speculation as it is actual fact. What is known is that during the rampage of the Anti-Mage throughout the former Realm of the Dead, Xepharia, many deities from both the ancient Dethinian pantheon and the Rionian pantheon were obliterated and their divine essence was scattered into an infinite number of pieces. As all the gods lay either dead, stripped of power, or in hiding on Perann, the Anti-Mage was confronted by some horrible force that had apparently been manipulating the genocidal warrior for decades. In an act of utter despair, the Anti-Mage forswear his forbidden powers and, as divine energy coaelesced around him, became the catalyst for an extraordinary apotheosis that birthed Kynorne, the new creator deity.

Kynorne, born from darkness and light, summoned the remaining gods from their hiding and restored their power. He then set about creating an entire pantheon to serve the needs of the frightened and confused people of Perann, both good and evil, lawful and chaotic, and everything in between. The Cerulean Lord was accorded the position of ruler by his new creations and the restored powers of old, all believing the amicable deity to be a level-headed and clever peacemaker.

Kynorne, although a firm believer in good and the furtherance of brotherhood, does not impose his beliefs on other deities in the pantheon. He clearly expresses his disdain for actions he sees as evil and hate-filled, but recognizes that the actions of evil gods are needed to provide contrast to his follower's own beliefs.

Goals: Kynorne's goals are still shrouded in mystery. Above all, he sees friendly relations between both neighbors and nations as being the main priority for the people of the Tare and keeps his focus both on helping his charges and administering the affairs of the Kynornian pantheon.

Appearance: Kynorne is depicted as a lithe humanoid with ears similar to a half-elf, with light blue skin and dark blue hair and robes. A black halo, composed of tiny shards of energy that have coalesced together, hangs above his head while his hand firmly grips an electrum sword.

An extension to the history of Red Valor was added to Project 1301

[Numinous]

I hate to pester your divine genius, but as it would appear you are mortal like the rest of us, I have a question. Does the new work on project 1301 and all your new updates mean that the fiction you have produced will be abandoned?

EDIT: It's alright if it is, but I am wondering...

[Elven Doritos]

The fiction isn't "abandoned", per se, it's just on hold. My game comes first, my fiction second-- I have every intention of continuing work when I find the time. (Graduating soon and all)

[Numinous]

Good news, and I look forward to it.  You have to admit though, it is annoying when a story is read and never finished, so I hope you can understand my desire to hear the tales of Kamon Rikomi continue.

Anyway, I know whatever you make will be great, be it fiction or game material.

[Elven Doritos]

The first nation of Project 1301 is up.

Balzara is certainly a ballbuster! :knock:  :hammer:

Good fundamentalist attitude there.

[Elven Doritos]

Better watch what you say... you never know when Balzara is listening!

[Elven Doritos]

Today's deity and today's country.

[Elven Doritos]

Yesterday's deity and yesterday's country. Today's will be up later on.

[Elven Doritos]

Didn't get around to the second batch yesterday, but I did get today's done: Deity and country.

[Elven Doritos]

Today's deity and country, mates!

[Soup Nazi]

Today's deity and country, mates!

I love the Shogunate, and I con't wait to see the kinds of nations and deities that will spring up next. Project 1301 seems like it must be loads of fun. Advancing the meta-plot, re-aligning the political borders, the ascention of new gods, it has got to feel like a breath of fresh air for a world in which you've played for years.

-Peace-

P.S. The new gods are all interesting and unique. None of them seem boring or "standard," which is probably exactly what you were gunning for.
