In my country there is a very popular gaming world called "TORMENTA" or "torment" or something like "great storm". Whatever.
This will be the first one of a serie of material for that world. Hope you guys can enjoy it. (of course, if you want to know, it's like eberron, without the tecnomagic)
-----------------------------=§+§=--------------------------------
Background
In the world of Torment, a long war happened because three gods dared to steal the power of all of other 17th gods and thus making a new pantheon. The plan failed and the three rebels got punished: the goddes of humans, Valkária got imprisioned in a giant statue of herself until her "beloved" humans defeated the 20 trials inside it. Tillian, the god of Mind became a simple human, indestructible by any means with his mind imprisioned in a body where the madness are in control. The last one got the hardest punishment: his own name became a taboo and even the other gods don't speak his name. He was imprisioned in a lost continent in the material plane, with milions of monsters guarding the entrace, with his deitic power removed and frozen to eternity. They only remind about him as the Third, the most powerfull among all of other gods.
All his creation got splitted amoung the other gods: the Nagahs went to the nature goddess; the Ancient Elemental Dragons went to the god of monsters; and so on. But one race, praticaly half of the strength of this god, scaped: the Metalsoul.
This race have the unique ability to transform into a indestructible weapon with the most feared power: the power to nullfill the imortality and surpass any deitic powers. Against this race, the gods almost lost the war.
The motive of this race to disapear are unknow, but some say the source power of their invencible ability are they god, and since he became a lost soul they lost their powers, but the truth is still unknow. Only one sword are still around with a young man, still ignorant about his sword true power.
