Messages for Mianite: an idea
Knocked out cold by his brother in a cage fight, Mianite lies in a coma, tubed up in a lab, while a corrupt steward turns his former empire into a rats’ nest. Ill-advised Dianitees run rampant on motorbikes, looting cities and making the lives of the innocent miserable. Ianitees get high night and day, sending “love and peace” to problems while wandering the wilderness in whimsical caravans. A dystopian planet teeters on the brink of collapse; the world of Triunia needs order. It’s an order only Mianite can bring, but there’s a problem. His was the reign that drove the world to such chaos.
Indeed, Mianite played a part in making Triunia the way it is. Dianite called for that cage fight because Mianite was doing the same as he had done in other worlds: claiming to be the One True God. Instead of cowering beneath the tyrant’s rule, Triunia rose up and smashed him, using Dianite as the battering ram. First, a media storm was stirred, forcing Mianite’s shadow into the limelight. His dismantlement was a spectacle – the largest prize fight in history – in which the winner claimed the crown of the land. Dianite, soon to cast that crown aside and dub himself the Crownless King of Triunia, did not expect to pummel his brother into a long sleep.
Partly due to the gods’ divine influence over the world and partly in thanks to the actions of those who picked up the pieces of Mianite’s shattered regime, Mianite’s absence threw everything out of control.
According to Mianite’s physician, Doctor Gaines, Mianite’s will to live is slipping, and bringing him back will be no mere matter of collecting a few enchanted relics. Mianite needs the assurances of gods, champions, friends, and enemies alike who have lost their way but still might play a role in the rebuilding of society. But how can deaf ears receive a message? Courtesy of Gaines, the thoughts of Mianite’s most important acquaintances can be gathered into a machine that plants new memories into the unconscious god’s mind: conversations, adventures, conflicts, and resolutions he never got to experience.
A cleric of Mianite named Alva receives the task from Gaines to travel the world as the sleeping god’s proxy, seeking “messages” for Mianite. It seems a didactic job at first, but as relationships develop with the likes of Dianite the Crownless King, Ianite the Nomadic Maiden, champions both past and present, allies of the gods, and the most powerful players in Triunia, Alva discovers a sinister underpinning to the world’s disarray. Someone designed the fall of Mianite; someone with a thirst for decay. The corrupt steward who spreads narcotics through Mianite’s former capital city does not work alone; nor is his goal merely to induce a “religious experience.”
Join Triunia as a follower of Mianite, Ianite, Dianite, or no god at all. Brave the harsh realities of a land warped by anarchy, survival instinct, and pure denial. Help Alva heal a broken god and the world he wounded. Bring true balance to Triunia.
