Editing Doom of Daruma (section)

==Lore of Daruma==

The demiurges arrived thousands of years ago and sealed off the original gods from the world. They ruled and pillaged for millennia. The world needs divine energy, however, and eventually things began to fall apart without it. The demiurges realized this, and moved on. Now the world is free of their rule, but is still collapsing. The only way to reconnect this realm with the realm of the gods is by collecting enough (and the right type) of the demiurge's weapons and artifacts to force a way through the barrier that they made between this world and the divine.

The departure of the demiurges left a substantial power vacuum that is still being filled. Demiurge artifacts are powerful and useful, so the people and organizations looking to establish their own cities/kingdoms/churches/universities/power bases are in direct competition with the Seekers for the artifacts. Some factions would even work to pervert these relics to bring back the demiurges themselves.

===War of Splintered Bone===

Devastating war marking the end of the Age of Prophets. The last battle saw King Orseez fall. Legend maintains he bore a map to the ancient relics of the demiurges that has remained undiscovered since his fall. None know the location of the final battle of the war. Should anyone find Orseez’s map, it might unlock access to great troves of powerful artifacts for good or ill.
