The Egyptian Gods

The Egyptian Gods

I see that you are back. I hope you have learned much about the Gods and Goddesses of Therodon. Good, good. Now our teachings will continue on for there are other Gods and Goddess that have been brought over by the new Races.

During the Age of Rebirth a cataclysm of cosmic proportions sent shock waves through the universes. It caused a 'gate' or 'tear' in the interdimensional fabric. Those who witnessed this spectacular even were drawn within and as quickly as they were taken a new Race emerged.

Without further delay, let me tell you of the Egyptian Gods.
