The Gods of the Blade Universe are the most powerful beings, who control various aspects of life on Earth. They are all children of the Supreme God, Ahura Mazda, with the exception of demons and other abominations that were created by Angra Manyu. Not much is known about them, but they can probably take multiple forms, assimilating to humans during their stay on Earth. And of course, they are immortal. After being expelled from Earth, the gods spread throughout the universe, but their influence endures among humans. The Gods can be divided into two groups:

Avestas

Ianna is the Goddess of the Moon. His father Ahura Mazda was very fond of her, due to the kind nature of the goddess. Ianna was in charge of populating the Earth with a great garden and taking care of all the creatures of her. However, Angra Manyu began to corrupt humans, creating demons and other beasts faithful to the darkness. This sparked a war between the gods, which nearly destroyed the Earth. To stop them, Ianna cast a powerful spell and drove the gods from Earth. Since then she cares for humans from the Moon.

Spenta Manyu is the Prince of Light. Son of Ahura Mazda, he helped his father to defeat the Lord of Chaos, Aserat, and then lived on Earth, in a period of prolonged peace. Peace ceased when his brother Angra Manyu came to live with them and soon declared war on them. The battle nearly destroyed the planet, so Goddess Ianna drove them out with a powerful spell. Since then, Spenta Manyu went to live in the Sun, from where he observes humans.

Archons

Angra Manyu is the Prince of Darkness. He was created by Ahura Mazda and soon wanted to impersonate his father. He learned the language of Creation and by modifying the Primal Chaos, he created Aserat, Lord of Chaos. However, his creation did not obey him and he began to cause great damage in the Universe. His father, together with his brother Spenta Manyu, had to intervene and defeated Aserat. Embarrassed by the actions of his sons, Ahura Mazda disappeared. The gods finished the creation of the Universe and decided to dwell on Earth. Angra Manyu kept them company and began to corrupt the creation of his brothers, creating abominations and attacking humans. Soon, the Avestas tried to stop him and a major war began that nearly destroyed the Earth. To avoid this, the goddess Ianna expelled the gods from the planet, however his influence on Earth would be difficult to erase.

Xshathra is the God of Metals. Like the rest of the gods, he was created by Ahura Mazda. He lived on Earth with the rest of his brothers and there he became the god of metals. For a short period of time, he lived in The Forge of Xshathra, where he taught his human disciples. When Angra Manyu entered Earth, Xshathra allied with him, and together with other gods, they declared war on the Avestas. To prevent the destruction of Earth, Ianna expelled him from the planet. His followers joined the forces of evil, and for a long time, his forges were a bastion of darkness.

⚔️ The War Of The Sword

The War of the Sword was a great battle in which it was possible to defeat the darkness that plagued the Earth. After Ianna expelled the gods of the Earth to avoid their annihilation, the humans had to face the creatures of evil, who had been created by Angra Manyu, the Prince of Darkness.

Among the humans appeared a young hero named Eresh Kigal, who armed himself with a ring coat, received the blessing and the Holy Sword of Goddess Ianna, becoming Blade, the Knight of Light. Eresh Kigal assembled a large army of humans and dwarves, who headed east, and attacked the enemy in their lair. The young paladin of light managed to defeat the evil of the Earth, and achieved peace, however, the wounds of the battle caused his death.

His friends, Amlach, Gorlond, Sawan and Nergal, carried his corpse to Ianna's Temple, and there they buried him, and on his grave the Holy Sword was embedded. The temple was closed and 4 Gems appeared, a white opal, an aquamarine, an obsidian and an amber oval. Each of his friends kept a gem, and they vowed to keep them away from the enemy, but at the same time, leave clues for a hero to find them in case evil appears on Earth in the future.

👑 King Azud & Queen Asha

King Azud was an important ruler of the human kingdom during the War of the Sword. They were great heroes with his partner, Queen Asha. He possibly participated in the final fight against evil, and after the end of the war, his kingdom had a period of great prosperity, where they began trade with the dwarves, led by Frair. After the death of his wife, Azud commissioned the dwarves to build The Tombs of Ephyra, where he buried the queen along with her magic sword, which causes great damage to the undead. After his death, the king was buried in Ephyra alongside his mighty shield.

💎 Frair

Frair was a great Dwarf king of the past. He was proclaimed king after having fought in the War of the Sword and his kingdom flourished. He occupied the carved throne and his hall of many stone pillars. After Eresh Kigal's death, Frair was tasked with hiding the Runes of Power, to keep them safe and ensure that they are found in the future in case they are needed. During his reign, the dwarven cities opened their gates and traded with men, forging great friendship with the kings Azud and Asha, leaders of the humans
