===Early Years=== ====Birth of Death==== :''See: [[Thoth]], [[Unnamed Evil]]'' {{Q|Wolf and Tinker armed themselves as best they could, and returned to try to save their beloved brother. But it was too late. They found that Dreamweaver had fallen to the shadow, and proclaimed himself Lord of Death. Weeping, Wolf and Tinker fought Death. For years they battled across the darkened realm. In the end, Wolf and Tinker prevailed, and they imprisoned the Lord of Death at the heart of the realm of the dead.|A [[demon]] storyteller about [[The Legend of the Three Brothers|the birth and imprisonment of Death]]}} Before Death came to be, the [[Land of the Dead]] already existed and lived in prosperity. However, at some point the [[Unnamed Evil]] attacked the land, causing devastation in its wake. The [[god]]s [[Mardük]], [[Paedün]] and [[Thoth]] came to put an end to the Evil's threat. However, the Evil's power was too much to handle, and only Thoth's sacrifice gave Mardük and Paedün time to escape and bring back reinforcements. However, the Unnamed Evil was too powerful to face alone, and it consumed Thoth, filling his head with dark thoughts. In the end Thoth the Dreamweaver, God of Dreams, Music and Storytelling, ceased to be as the Evil possessed him, and [[The Legend of the Three Brothers|an entity known as Death was born]]. Mardük and Paedün returned some days later, unable to get help from the other gods but determined to come to their brother's aid. They were shocked when they realized that they were too late to save their brother. They faced Thoth who had become Death, and after [[Battle of Mount Purgatory|a long struggle on top of Mount Purgatory]], they barely managed to imprison Death into the heart of the Land of the Dead. Not having the power necessary to destroy Death, they left him in his eternal prison. Despite being imprisoned, Death's power was so immense that it could still take over the Land of the Dead, corrupt the once lush landscape and enslave its once happy and peaceful populace. He used various beings, most notably the [[Grim Reaper]], as his heralds who would harvest souls which would then become his subjects. After becoming the ''de facto'' Lord of Death, he set his sights on freeing himself and spreading his influence to other [[realm]]s in the cosmos. Although his physical body couldn't leave the realm, his consciousness could traverse through the different planes of reality, and his consciousness used the following millennia to explore various realms in hopes of finding a means to free himself. ====First Steps==== {{Q|There can be no Life without Death...and you can never escape the shadow of Death which overcomes all of this fleeting life in the end. But you have a choice to make depending on how you want to live your mortal life, so tell your master: do the others dictate your fate and make you wither, or do you forge your own path and blossom, enjoying your only life to its fullest as every living being in the cosmos should in the time that has been given to them?|Death to [[Haruko Mizushima]]}} At some point Death's consciousness found the [[Land of the Living]]. Having learned from previous battles, Death chose a subtler approach in order to not draw the gods' attention to himself while he was still recovering. His consciousness began manipulating the minds of various beings in the realm slowly but surely and found great success with a particular [[dragon]] whose long life span gave Death enough time to twist the dragon's thoughts and give him ambition. This dragon, [[Frazzn'korth]], succumbed into darkness and tried to become the supreme ruler of dragons. However, the Dark Dragon's plans were foiled, and he was trapped into a magical gem which became known as the [[Dragon Diamond]]. This was only a minor setback to Death, though. His success with Frazzn'korth proved that he had a means to influence a world outside his own and corrupt even powerful individuals over time. He would continue his subtle and sinister manipulations in the years to come. He had all the time in the world to proceed with his dark plan. Many years later Death saw another chance to speed up his plans when he made contact with the prideful mind of [[Haruko Mizushima]] whom he subtly goaded into murdering [[Inari Okami|her mentor]] and thus began the eventual corruption of [[Yggdrasil]], the World Tree, and Haruko's life in the [[Band of the Fox]] which would lead her to cross paths with [[Malakhia d'Zarnagon]] among others. Death also accessed the mind of [[Kagetsu Aurelac de Maar Sul]], the revered Lord of the [[Andain]] who was [[Mardük]]'s son. Hoping to get a hold of Mardük, one of the gods who had sealed him in the Land of the Dead eons ago, by using the god's son Kagetsu as a bait, Death began to subtly influence Kagetsu's thoughts just like he had done with Haruko some time earlier. Death made the Andain lord see the world as inbalanced and unjust and that it needed to be fixed so that all could live equally and have as much power as the gods. That was all that was needed, and Death let time do the rest. In the end his manipulations bore fruit: Kagetsu decided to wage war against the gods in the [[War of the Andain]] in order to distribute the gods' power to mortals, but he was defeated and sealed away into a stone. Kagetsu's rebellion did lead to the goddess [[Gaea]]'s demise, however, and she ended up in the Land of the Dead where Death imprisoned her and began corrupting her spirit. Death made Gaea his consort and began calling her the Tyrantess of the Underworld. ====Growing Influence==== The gods' ongoing strifes kept them busy in the years since and made them blind to the threat that had been lurking behind Frazzn'korth's and Kagetsu's insurrections all along. Mardük mourned Kagetsu's dark actions and was still angry at the gods' refusal to help save Dreamweaver. The god's intense internal turmoil about losing his son and brother was all that Death needed to influence and corrupt Mardük's thoughts. Thanks to Death's influence, Mardük became aware of the dark power of the Land of the Dead and decided to harness that power and use it against the others of his order. Mardük's descent into madness was complete, and the God of Chaos twisted the once noble [[demon]]s into ruthless enforcers of his will and reformed his clergy into sadistic followers of darkness. The god had fully embraced the darker side of chaos. Mardük, fueled by the darkness and madness in his heart, unleashed his vile forces on the Land of the Living and began the [[Chaos War]]. After a brutal struggle, he was defeated and sealed away by the [[Grand Alliance]] of that time, but once more Death had taken a step closer to realizing his goals. Although Mardük was gone, his corrupted spirit still guided the [[Clergy of Mardük]] which kept a close eye on various factions while waiting for a chance to seize power and free Mardük. Death extended his influence to the [[Demon Realm]], following the traces of darkness which Mardük had left in his rampage. Mardük's hate was all that was needed to twist the thoughts of powerful demons such as [[Malakhia d'Zarnagon]] and [[Yurius]] whose actions would shape the events of the Land of the Living in the struggles to come. ====Dark Plans==== The more people became twisted in the ensuing years, the more Death's power grew. Although he was still confined to the Land of the Dead, he had now corrupted enough people who would unwittingly carry on his agenda and make him grow stronger. The increase of Death's influence also spread to the other realms, which caused sickness and an increasing number of dead. In an effort to spread his power further, Death sent various agents from the Underworld to the Land of the Living. Although each of these agents would serve a different purpose, they all were part of Death's grand plan. One of the most notable agents was [[Drishnek]], an ambitious sorcerer whose pact with Death allowed him to continue living as a lich and begin a mission to prepare the Land of the Living for the invasion of the dead. Drishnek's defeat in the hands of [[Daventhalas de Mont Hault]] was a setback, but Death had so many agents running around that it didn't give him much concern. Despite his manipulations, Death's powers weren't absolute. There were many spirits in the in-between realms who refused to pass on. Some who had already lost themselves to the oblivion were called back to the Land of the Living, most notably [[Leon Alcibiates]] and [[Jemuel]]. The revival of Leon gave Death a chance to further influence the Land of the Living through a special rift and send [[Drishnek]] back as a lich to carry on his unfinished work, but this rift was eventually closed when Leon was granted full mortality by the dying [[Yggdrasil]] for his services to the world in the [[Great War]]. After having set things in motions throughout millennia, Death let his willing as well as unknowing pawns carry out his grand plan. One of these forces, the death cult [[Totenkopfs]] and their [[Kamen Grimgaze|Master]], would play a key role in this plan.
