A long time ago, men fought among themselves to impose the religion they thought was superior, true ... Years and years of struggle, until the day when the Gods decided to agree at least once, and they decided to create a world, where the three great polytheistic religions could exist, without there being any more conflict, by respecting simple rules. Thus, were created the Mythical Lands. The Mythic Lands are a totally separate, unique world where little or nothing is as we know it today. There, the great polytheistic religions still remain. Mythica, the capital, is home to three distinct groups of inhabitants, who never mix, or except when absolutely necessary. The Greek, Egyptian and Nordic Gods exercise all their functions, and watch over the mortals who worship them. If they are Gods, the fact remains that they have very distinct duties, obligations, and roles to have. This was what they had to do, but the Gods figured out that they could get past it all, and live as they wanted. A life full of idleness, joy and no work, or very little. Not all of them made the decision to invest a little less in their duties, but some did, and this for the three great mythologies.
