Story

The Story of Prescion takes places on a world not too different from Earth, only somewhat in the future. Many smaller nations have banned together or been annexed by growing empires of ideology, and now the larger nations vie for control. The largest and most powerful of these nations are Runaria, and Agregorn. It is in Runaria, that the story begins, centered around a main character of the player's choosing, and a handful of other agents within the elite Runarian Special Forces.

Atos

Followers of Atos believe that a kind god came to Earth, and breathed life into the pathetic creatures that lived. He created the sky and made it blue, and made the oceans reflect its color. He made the wind blow and allowed seeds to spread, thus moving the trees over the world and giving food and shelter to the suffering animals. He loved man the most, and gave unto them strength and wisdom, so that they may rule over the Earth, and spread his love and good will unto others. Many within this faith believe that those that are downcast and look to the Earth or Earthly pleasures are evil, and should be cut away from the glory of Atos (killed). Most, however, believe that love and peace is a gift enough, and that by being champions of this cause, humans will learn and grow as God intended. Denrar is a zealot of Atos

Dormin

Those that believe in the legend of Dormin believe in the messiah of Atos, who loved and followed his true father. In childhood he was hunted and persecuted by his adopted family, and ascended to challenge the state that sought to hurt. He continued to grow in power, but always for the power of right, never corrupted or tempted by the wills of kings or even the Gods. At the end of the last age, Dormin sacrificed himself when evil deities came to destroy the world, so that all may be spared. It is believed that he never did die at the hands of the evil Gods, but will rise one day with his magical sword, and right the wrongs of the world. His magical sword, Awakening, is the symbol of the holy Order of the Blade. Joaness is a raised and devout follower of this church.

Eon

Many people in Zagostan believe that Ancient Gods were dragons and lived on Earth before humans rose to power. These ancient Gods sometimes assumed human form to enter into the early societies of man, and occasionally educate and take a follower. After the great conflict that ended the previous age, the Gods left. The remaining children of the Gods, the great Urdar beasts, still live and roam free. The only remaining city of the Gods is Eon, which to this day stands isolated by tradition and certain death to anyone foolhardy enough to venture. It is also believed that some of the Gods stayed behind to guard the city, in case an army of foolhardy adventurers tried to trespass on their sacred city. All those who would dare enter the sacred city would be destroyed in a fate worse than death, as the wraith of the Gods is severe indeed. It is also believed that one day the Gods will return, and claim Eon as their own, and exact a proper rule over the tyrants that rule the Earth presently. In this time to come, man will be at peace and will live forever in harmony with the Gods.

The Fallen Star

One of the few world-spread beliefs is in the fallen star. It is believed life on Earth began with a star falling from the sky and striking the flat void of the earth. In the explosive wake, life began and flourished everywhere, with mountains, oceans, and all matter of being brought in by the explosion. Similarly, another explosion will one day come, and take back what has been brought, returning Earth to the dark and lifeless world it once was. Though most believe this as a fancy fairy tale, some see the herald of many signs pointing to the end of days. Followers of this religion tend to view every day as important, as it may very well be the last normal day before the second star comes.

Maga

Popular in Golganthor, this belief centers around the worship of a perfect being born into Earth for Earth. This being is not of this world, but is here to serve his chosen people. As such, the Golganthor Elite have harnessed this demigod as a source of limitless power and a source of unlimited destruction. Because of this, Golganthor uses their faith as a tool for conquest, holding the world hostage. This has been met with limited success, as many of those that believe in Maga's power also fear it, knowing that they could destroy the world and themselves with it.

Noke

Followers of Noke believe in a perfect race of non-humans destined to rule. Those that are human and follow Noke wish to become the non-human and offer sacrifice to their dark god. As such, they believe in the destruction of all governments and return of their undead deity, Noke. They are fond believers in the occult and chaos, as they believe destruction will bring them eternal life. Followers of this belief are mostly restricted to the Gauntlet of Fire, though some exist outside of the organization as well.

Ormus

Followers of Ormus believe in one true God, who despises the meaningless life of Earth and seeks to move away from his disappointing creations. The devout see a future in space and would live away from many of the more baser physical pleasures of life towards a perfect life with the creator. Followers hope that by abandoning their animalistic mendacity, they will attain happiness, freedom, and unlimited knowledge with their God. Many of the more scientific communities around Earth have churches of Ormus, with the vast majority of followers living in Agregorn. However, this religion is not widely believed by any nation.
