A long time ago there were giant rampaging beasts of each element, they destroyed all life, the god king was manifested by the mother to defeat them and ruled afterwords. 

The highest ranking officer and most powerful soldier murdered the god king and assumed power, enslaving the lower races. The prophecy foretold that the mother must manifest a physical form and live among the people, who will eventually birth the new god king.

The water trickles from the ceilin

Ancient Egypt and Aliens      There are quite a lot of people who believe a lot of the Egyptian art and accomplishments were influenced by alien life. Looking at it from the view that aliens could have been the case opens up a wide range of possibilities for worldbuilding and storytelling. We all know the story of Moses. Moses split the Red Sea. What if Moses was assisted by, or was himself an alien, using powers unknown to humans. In this universe, the people of Egypt were visited by heavenly bodies.

The Land of Naught is Gargoyle Country. It is located underground below the Valley of Voe. There are only two ways to get to the Land of Naught, a spiral staircase under Pyramid Mountain and a tunnel under a large rock that leads right into a Dragonette den. The city is made entirely of wood. The grass, birds, even the gargoyles themselves are wood. The gargoyles live in tower-like houses with six to eight sides. There is one large prison that sits atop a tall tower. This prison has no doors or windows.   Overman-Anu who was known as the Champion of Voe, climbed the spiral staircase and battled the gargoyles for nine days before eventually making his escape.
