Divine Beast

Divine Beasts were the animal servants of the First Pantheon. Imbued with Divine Blood, they had powers that often rivaled or even surpassed that of the Seraphs and Heralds.

The First Wars
Shortly after the creation of the universe the gods of the First Pantheon created a variety of servamts to battle alongside them in the war between Light and Darkness. Seeing the immense powers gifted to Heralds and Seraphs from the gift of Divine Blood the gods decided to experiment with passing this powerful substance onto animal life.

The creatures that where given Divine Blood becane the first Divine Beasts. They served none but the gods themselves, each following the deity who gave them life primarily. The Divine Beasts caused immense destruction on the Mortal Plane during the early years of the war.

The Age of The Pact
After the death of Xyxax when the Grey God instituted The Pact, the Divine Beasts were all imprisoned beneath the earth under powerful seals that he created. The amount of Divine Blood that they contained made them too powerful to walk upon the Mortal Plane.

They remained imprisoned this way for the next thousand years.

The Breaking of the Pact
After tge death of the Grey God the seals that he placed upon the Divine Beasts began to weaken. Planning for this, the Fallen One sent his servant to one of the seals to attempt to awaken one of the creatures. After sacrificing a young woman and preforming a ritual the seal is broken and Akklor the Unbidden rises from beneath the earth. Seeing that they can be freed, the Herald continues to awaken other Divine Beasts to use as secret weapons against the forces of light.

Characteristics
Divine Beasts are immenslyy powerful creatures due to the large amounts of Divine Blood in their viens, seconf only to the gods.

They are all of gigantic size, sometimes only slightly resembling the creature that they were before their transformation. They vary in intellect, but all retain the ability to speak. Some Divine Beasts were known to be more intelligent than any but the gods.

Their powers range include incredibee strength and durability, as well as the immortality granted by Divine Blood. Some Divine Beasts had the ability to breath fire or other kinds of energy. Rumors abound that a few even had the powers of telepathy.

Each Divine Beast was also given an epitaph that denoted some aspect of their character or powers. Gaxxog the Incorrigible for example was filled with an insatiable hunger that caused him to feed upon friend and foe alike.
