Main Lore!

Long ago, there was the God of Creation and the God of Destruction. Creation made all pure and good things into existence, while Destruction created all the sinster and evil monsters and possessions. After creating the world, they created 4 Guardians of the elements to watch over it. Their names were Sylvania, Stellaria, Infernius and Aquarius. Centuries later, the Guardians, or Ancients felt the people were to weak compared to them and felt bad for then. So they started blessing them with materials of great power. Creation and Destruction feared that the people and the Ancients would turn on them and overthrow them. So the gods brought the Ancients all to one place and then consumed their souls, turning them into mere husks. Realizing that they still need to destroy the materials, they decided to initiate judgement on the current world and start a new one where they are in control and control everything that the peope do. Now, only you can stop them and prevent them from creating a new world where they rule everything, only you can stop Judgement.

This thread is really hot. I love it. Good work on the mod.

 

Really nice ideas, and the sprites are great. I'm glad i could help you in making this, hopefully It will be great!

 

Why was I tagged as a spriter? As far as I can tell, non of those sprites are mine, and I don't remember agreeing to sprite for this mod.

 

You made one of the sprites, its just not listed as its secret content, you made this one

 

Ah, that one. Alright then, just checking.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

 

ima keep a very close eye to this
looking forward to this

 

Waiting day for day on the Discord for the release
continue the good work

 

Imagine if creation and destruction split like eow does, oh the chaos!

 

Oh hey it looks real good

 

looks cool! btw, the images aren't loading for me, is it something on my end (if it is, don't worry)

 

I always browse the "WIP" forum to see what new mods are being made. Most of the time they're just concepts with no sprites, or the sprites they do have are lacking. This is one of the rare times that is not the case. I'm really excited to see this develop.

 

Yes it's on your end, they work perfectly fine for me

 

i am sure to download it when it is released!

 

One of the guns or maybe a flamethrower looks like it's inspired by a wow design from MoP. If it is, there's a couple more I'd like to request.

 

Wow, this mod looks...... AMAZING!!!! ok ill calm down but yea this mod seems interesting. I got my eye on this one.

 

Added separate sections for Duskbulb, Enkin, Tungqua and Stellarite gear and added a few new things to the weapons page.

 

can we get a wolfslayer sniper rifle look alike to go along with that black and orange gun?

 

very nice so far can i ask if there's any throwing content planned?
