The world of Aeonia, a world that once held two mighty and ancient civilizations. The Celestials, immortal beings born of the divine essence of the Empyrean and the essence of stars and master of the magical powers, and the Machina, biomechanical giants who wielded a might union of science and magic to create wonders the like of which are unseen in the current day. These two civilizations were so powerful and their influence encompassed all of Aeonia.
The Celestials created three races: The mystical Aetherials, the mighty Terrans, and the swift Skyborn. The reasons behind such actions have been lost and forgotten, but it did further solidify the ancient race's presence as a godlike species, for to create new life from nothing but you're own will, is that a feat worthy of such status? The Machina meanwhile had constructed a vast network of crystal spires that connected the minds of the whole civilization together in a grand unified consciousness and granted their bodies immortality. These two civilizations held such great marvels that the Gods themselves were impressed and gave them countless blessings and considered them as equals. The Golden Age was the time were the Gods walked upon Aeonia alongside the two great civilizations, and one must wonder, how did such a glorious age come to an end?
By the hands of Abyss, The Primordial Titan of Entropy and Oblivion, The Father of Demons, The Dreaded Darkness. This primeval entity waged war against the Gods, Machina, and Celestials. It was from this apocalyptic conflict that the Dragons were born, crafted to do battle with the Titan' s servants and monstrous children. It was the God of these Dragons, Ouroboros the Draconic God of Infinity and Eternity, who slew the Titan and ended the war. But it was far too late, the Celestials and Machina were no more, their great wonders and civilizations destroyed and only remnants remained. Countless Gods were obliterated or crippled by the Titan's rampage. The Four Elemental Gods of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water were shattered and from their essence were born the Elementals and the Elemental Realms. Even the great Ouroboros, the Titanslayer, still slumbers in a coma from wounds sustained in the cataclysmic battle for existence. The Gods, pained by the loss of those they saw as equals and the deaths of so many of their own, left in mass from Aeonia back to the Empyrean. The Nexus Aetherius, the source of all magic, was damaged and many forms of magic are now lost.
The essence of the slain Gods and Goddesses gave rise to other beings that now we're their own civilizations. The warlike yet noble Gryphonians, the strong and indomitable Taurus, the savage Stone Wolves, and the mysterious Faeries. The three creations of the Celestials survived the Apocalypse War thanks to the sacrifice of the Elemental Gods and Ouroboros. The ten Dragon flights and their Dragon Lords still fly and reside in the world, awaiting the day their God would finally awaken.
The races of Aeonia have each forged their own kingdoms and empires, but a dark force is coming. The childern of Abyss are on the move and dark schemes and sinister plots conspire to finish what the Titan had started. It will be up to you as a God Emperor or God Empress to unite the peoples of the world against the demonic and monstrous threat of the children of Abyss.

[] Plan Regretful Cycle
-[] Mia, Lady of Union and Parting
-[]-Empress
-[]-Divine Incarnation: You are the last of the Gods upon Aeonia, all others have left and sealed off The Empyrean.
--[] Major Themes:
---[] Love
---[] Death
--[] Minor Themes:
---[] Seasons
---[] Health
---[] Beauty
So, The Goddess of Love and Death chooses the mortals over her fellow Gods? Such an interesting choice, for you are also the Goddess of the Seasons, Beauty, and Health. The other Gods tried to convince you to abandon the mortals, but you stood by your decision and now you are alone, the only deity left in all of Aeonia, with the exception of the slumbering Ouroboros. The Archdragon still lies dormant, circling the world with his immense body, deep in their dreamless sleep. But now dear Goddess, dearest Mia, which race is it that has earn your affections so? Which people shall you rule over and guide towards a brighter future first? Who is it that Death has come to Love most of all?
[]-The Aetherials: One of the races created by the Celestials, they are a race deeply tied to the ebb and flow of Magic, and all of them can cast spells. They possess a keen intelligence and are a scholarly folk at heart. Their ears are pointed and possess markings upon their bodies that amplify their natural magical power.
[]-Skyborn: Another of the races created by the Celestials, the Skyborn are a brave and loyal people ready to fight for their home and loved ones. They make their homes among the clouds, shaping them into cities and towns. They can also manipulate the weather with this ability.
[]-Terrans: The last of the races created by the Celestials, the Terrans are a strong and hardy people. They are skilled in the ways of agriculture and have a deep connection to nature, able to grow bountiful harvests in even the most desolate of wastelands. They are also fine craftsmen.
[]-Taurus: The Bull-Men, they are brutish and tough, tougher than most Terrans in fact, but possess a strange lack of magical potential. They are tribal people, following the will of the "Great Spirits" of the World as interpreted by Shamans. They are resistant to magic.
[]-Gryphonians: Bipedal hybrids of an eagle and lion, these are a proud and noble people. While they lack the power to shape the weather like the Skyborn, they still may walk upon clouds as though they were the ground. They also fierce and skilled warriors, a single Gryphonian soldier equal to ten of the other races.
[]-Stone Wolves: Really, are you certain? They are savages and raiders of the worst kind and are quite stupid. Though they possess a durability unmatched, and their few rare mages are powerful wielders of Earth Magic, they are scattered and more likely to fight you than follow you.
[]-Faeries: Ah yes, the mysterious Fae. Masterfully infiltrators and deceivers thanks to their incredibly potent shapeshifting and empathetic abilities, you must be weary of whom you can trust, for the Seasonal Courts will attempt to gain your favor and The Fae King and Queen will attempt to undermine you.
[]-Dragons: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Nope!
Now that you have chosen, I propose a bargain. You may choose a flaw from the following, and in exchange I shall grant you something in...compensation.
You May Pick Multiple Flaws/Complications.
[]-Nemesis: Somewhere in Aeonia, there is a being that rivals your power that seeks to undo you and your civilisation. The only way to stop them is to slay them. As compensation, you may choose another Theme, Major or Minor, to give you a better chance at defeating them. (You can choose this Twice.)
[]-War: Oh my, it would appear you've manage to enter into a War with another kingdom. Choose a race, you are now at war with them. As compensation, you start out with a larger Army.
[]-Legion of The Dead: Well now, looks like some aspiring Overlord has raised a legion of the undead minions to try to conquer Aeonia. As compensation, you can select a second Race.
[]-The Dragon War: Oh, this is bad. Ouroboros, The Dragon God of Eternity and Infinity, has died completely. Now the Dragon Lords are fighting each other to determine who will be the new Archdragon. As compensation, you may select another Race and a Major Theme.
[]-They Come: There is something wrong with you, why would you choose this? Beings of pure madness, shambling horrors from beyond mortal comprehension, things even Abyss would fear. They have come for this insignificant world and seek to drag it into as mad Hell of chaos and insanity. As compensation, you may pick two additional Races and Themes.
Choose wisely now, the fate of this world is in your hands after all.

Your empire had taken a few years of hard work and careful planning in order to get established and grow into something worthy of being called such. You look up towards the sky and sigh with melancholy as you wonder if your plan will actually succeed or if you will join your brothers and sisters who fell at the hands of Abyss.
