======The Mythos of Iskitaan======
Iskitaan was created when the god [[Rama]] scooped a huge hole in the substance of the universe to protect his mortal creations (Dragons, Elves, Humans, Dwarves and Halflings) from his evil brother [[Kram]]. [[Kram]] was jealous of the attentions the mortals gave [[Rama]], and when the mortals would not worship him too, he began to destroy them. [[Kram]] even created mortal creatures of his own ([[Orcs]], [[Goblins]], [[Wyverns]], [[Trolls]] and [[Ogres]]) to assist him.
[[Rama]] finally won the war between he and his brother, and managed to lock his brother away, where he couldn’t harm mortals. [[Rama]] spent much of his power securing his brothers prison, but with what remained he divided himself into the rest of the gods to help protect and guide his mortal creatures. Other, less benevolent Gods are vestiges of [[Kram]]’s power that didn’t get locked away with him.
The power of any individual god can vary depending upon the faith of his/her followers. For many years under the second Dark Emporer’s reign, while the worship of [[Rama]] was outlawed, his power was very weak (though still mightier than that of any mortal or immortal).
