Sinners Act
Before time had fully learned the shape of things, before humanity walked the earth with purpose, the universe trembled under the clash of two gods. One breathed life and light into nothingness the God of Creation. The other reduced worlds to ashes with a single thought the God of Destruction.
For eons, they fought. Mountains shattered beneath their blows. Oceans boiled and froze in the span of heartbeats. Stars were born and died in the blink of their eyes. Each sought to impose its will on reality: one to craft endlessly, the other to erase relentlessly.
But neither could claim victory. For every world creation forged, destruction unraveled. For every life birthed, annihilation waited patiently. And so, their war ground on not in the realm of men, but across the bones of existence itself.
Finally, exhausted yet unwilling to yield, they made a pact. Not with each other, but with humanity. Mortals, fragile and flawed, would become the battleground for their eternal conflict.
From the void of their decision came the Sinners Act:
"Humanity shall bear the weight of sin. Every heart shall be tested, every desire a temptation. Those who succumb shall fall into corruption, twisted and broken. Those who resist shall be granted power, the mark of defiance against the darkness within."
Thus, the gods cursed the world. Desire became sharper, anger swelled faster, and pride festered in secret corners of the soul. Children of men would stumble; some would rise. And each would chooseknowingly or unknowingly between salvation and damnation.
