Dawn of Worlds

This is an old god made for the system Dawn of Worlds. We were originally supposed to run the setting we created in Dawn of Worlds as a campaign. But this idea was cancelled. Hopefully one day, after we have finished Savage Tide we will either resume the setting created known as Lakronya or create a new one. For I myself greatly enjoyed the creation process.

We are most likely gonna post more of Lakronya in the near future as our digging through old archives uncovers more findings.

Here's my god, known by the namn of Agnosco.

The God of Knowledge - Agnosco is knowledge incarnate, manifested at the same time as there was something to learn, it brought order to the primal chaos of the world. Agnosco is the god of knowledge, law, order and enlightenment. It is the god who stands for order and knowledge.

Agnosco is the sworn enemy of chaos, thus the enemy of Grimalkin.
It dwells in the realm of Knowledge, existing in the endless library which the plane takes its form of.

Worshippers
Agnosco holds enlightment and the quests for knowledge and self-perfection of both mind and body above all. As such sentient creatures are more associated with its faith than any animals or beasts.

The Order of Knowledge is a world-spanning organization existing in most civilizations in one form or another. The order follows a simply goal, to preserve and distribute knowledge. All races are accepted equally by The Order of Knowledge, but most Avians share a natural affiliation with order.
The Order condemns the actions of its sibling order (The Paladinian order) due to its forceful nature.

The Paladinian Order of Knowledge is a freestanding paladinian order with no direct connection to The Order of Knowledge. Its main priority is to bring order to the chaos of the world, battling Grimalkins minions and undoing his work, but not excluding to preserve and distribute knowledge. The paladinian order consists of mostly Dwarves and Humans, and even Halflings. Few Avians are suited for this lifestyle of forcing order upon the world, and most other races are ill suited to the life of order.

Avians are the keepers and gatherer of knowledge. They inhabit a natural affinity for foretelling the future and a natural talent for science. They were the founders of the first city, High Peak which once held the greatest library known to exist. It contained the foretelling of the future and all knowledge which had been gathered by the Avians.

After the destruction of their society the Avians split into two branches. One side which strived to continue their old ways of Agnosco’s teachings, another which strived to cause their revenge upon the world that caused their fall and hoarding the knowledge for themselves, for they were the only one worthy. The Avians which were aligned for the latter came to be known as Dark Avians due to the sinister transformation that followed after their research into forbidden knowledge.

Today the Avians roam the world upholding the principles of their deity, content with the life as nomads. They are 7 foot plus bird like humanoids with wings, beaks and hands. They are tall and agile, yet also fragile and weak.

Dwarves were the second creation by Agnosco and are a mountain living race fond of gold and other valuable minerals. They were the chosen up keepers of law and order before their old society fell. The race of dwarves travels the world, seeking a new home ever since their old one was destroyed by the giants, and later claimed by humans. This has resulted in tense relations with the human empire that currently controls their old mountain homes.


Humans The third and latest creation of Agnosco. They were created in order in order to combat the evil god Grimalkin who had brought ruin to most other races and even Agnosco self. But this plan quickly spiraled out of control as the other gods invested their divine essence into this newly created race. This resulted in the diverse race known today as humans.

Relationships
Agnosco respect that other deities are different spiritual beings and that what is correct for it may not be so for them. As such it tries to avoid interfering with other gods unless they threaten its work or its people. There is only one exception to that, which is the God of Chaos, Grimalkin who Agnosco has sworn to oppose his evil and chaotic nature. Agnosco shares some ideals with the god Watawala, but its followers hold Watawala in contempt for Watawala’s submission to Grimalkin.

Appearance and Emissaries
When it appears its avatar is often that of a old female, other times as an old man. Agnosco seeks to help its followers on their quests of knowledge and battles against chaos. But it often seeks to hide its identity in fear of the chaotic god Grimalkin which caused Agnosco’s demise in The First War.

“Knowledge is everything”


Dogma
Preserve and distribute knowledge, for knowledge brings order and order brings perfection. When order has been established and knowledge has been gained the world shalt enter a state of Utopia.

It is widely believed that Agnosco abandoned the world of Lakronya at the same time as a lot of the Avians left the world; some speculate that the god will return with its followers that once left in order to once more battle Grimalkin and its chaos. Others believe that the god never left, and helps hidden in the shadows.
