GOD WARS

The Realm of Samhan is a place where the influence of the gods is felt in every corner, where their powers shape the world and guide the destinies of all who dwell within. But even the gods, mighty as they are, seek to test the strength and resolve of their followers. And so, every four years within the realm of Samhan, the gods call upon their champions for the most legendary of all events—God Wars.

God Wars is the ultimate trial of skill, strategy, and endurance, a grand tournament where all defenders of Samhan are chosen to represent one of the four gods—Stratos, Matrix, Rhapsody, or Wayfarer. Each defender has been hand picked by the deity themselves. These chosen do not merely fight for glory; they fight for the respect and favor of the gods themselves. In this epic competition, the gods watch closely, rewarding those who prove themselves worthy with divine blessings, powerful artifacts, and eternal honor.

Every four years (equaling twice a year, everywhere outside of the Realm), a new chapter in the saga of God Wars unfolds. The “Summer” and “Winter” God Wars are not only a test of individual prowess but also a chance to expand the realm itself. Each season, a new city within Samhan is chosen as the host for the games. These cities, once humble and forgotten, become the focal point of the realm as they prepare to welcome the champions of the gods. Players are encouraged to journey to these burgeoning cities, settle them, and contribute to their growth. As the city thrives under the influence of the games, it may even rise to become a capital of the realm, its power and prestige echoing through the ages.

But God Wars is no ordinary competition. Inspired by the ancient traditions of the Olympian gods and infused with the ruthless edge of a winner takes all battle royale, the events of God Wars are as unpredictable as they are challenging. From brutal combat trials to mind-bending puzzles, every challenge is designed to push players to their limits. Victory is not guaranteed by strength alone; cunning, teamwork, and adaptability are the keys to surviving the games and emerging victorious.

The gods themselves play an integral role in God Wars, guiding their chosen champions and influencing the course of the events. Each deity has their preferred events and must compromise on a calendar that pleases all four, especially Wayfinder, the ombudsmen of the games. Each god’s influence shapes the outcome of the games, making every God Wars a unique and unforgettable experience.

And so, as the fire of the God Wars burn bright across the realm within the hearts of it’s defenders, the people of Samhan rally to the call. Will you be among the chosen, a champion of the gods, or will you stand as a supporter, helping to build the legacy of a new city? The choice is yours, but one thing is certain—God Wars is not just a competition; it is a celebration of the very essence of Samhan, a testament to the power of the gods, and a story waiting to be written in the annals of history.
