What is COTLOP? Updated:04-02-09

What is Chronicles of the Lord of Power? Well let’s start at the start of the universe light creation itself was born from nothingness born from the nightmares of darkness itself. Darkness is not chaos but utter despair from the sorrow hope brings it is the end where as light is the beginning. Within this new universe Lightness was fruitful and scattered life and wisdom out. When Darkness arose from its slumber it wonder why it had such terrifying dreams of life and death hope and wisdom nightmares of creation, it sought out Lightness and they fought destroying everything around them sending everything back to basic forms of matter and energy. After a few more fistdecuffs they realized they cannot win in a direct battle as they are complete equals so it was decided they would raise vast armies and grow and train warriors to battle for them.

From afar in the misty visage of the endless void Lightness and Darkness sit at a table upon it sits a chess board, a game is in play one of many throughout existence. This is but one of many table and chair sets strewn throughout the void. Each table and chair are made of simple wire frame, the chess boards minutely different, on each side of the board is a bowel to hold pieces. On the light side the bowel has a black on white theme of orderly straight lines, on the dark side the bowel is white on black with chaotic like vertical lines. It is here they vaguely, indirectly toy with existence in between naps and bickering like 2 old men who don’t get along but put up with each other rather than deal with loneliness and the madness it brings.

When the balance shatters and one side gains so much power as so the other can never win that’s when everything will return to darkness, or so it’s said that balance has never been broken even when the first age of the war of creation ended. Called the birth war, first breath war or still borns war in darker parts of existence, even as the new age matures into the war of creation a new age is about to begin one of lawlessness one of strife…one of hope and despair.

The factions within this universe are of light and darkness, Light’s forces are bureaucratic and stern focusing more on “gardening” creation in its entirety while defending what they can against darkness. Dark Forces are casts of mostly honor bound warriors, those who have lost hope and seek the peace that despair brings for those of darkness only see suffering in hope and wish to bring an end to creation and return all to the peace and harmony of the void.

The story revolves around a human chosen to be another pawn in the war of creation but unlike the others before him his path is less certain as his power his mere existence disturbs the placation of the light and the veracity of the dark. Sent to a trail word he manages to save it from complete destruction only after undoing the harm darkness wrought and it’s this altering of reality this near absolute and corruptive power that will haunt him throughout his adventures. He overcomes his curse but too late to be cursed by it.
Feared and hated he leaves the cold comfort of the light to wander existence heeding the call for help no matter who calls out in the endless night of space, time and dimension…….
