#kul'zak the wanderer

[xielianslver]

I have all the Divine Warriors deaths in mind. I'll eventually draw somethings about them but here you go.

Shad: Never truly died, as we know. Which is funny. God of death yet she continuously tries to live. He wears clothes not meant to be buried in a casket. But ones made to attend the funeral because they are alive. Even after becoming who he is today, her "armour", although reaks death. Shows how he will kill to live.

Irene: She never really died, just "disappeared." (or something I haven't thought that far). Much like Shad but different. God of life yet she tries every waking second to die. All those that she has loved, have been met with a tragic end. Her clothes resemble that of the body laying in the casket. Even in her new form she can't help but wonder when her death would come.

Menphia: She died while saving the one she loved. Enki. In the fierce fight with Shad she was the first to go. The one to make the sacrifice that saved centuries of people. Menphia wasn't one to make sacrifices, she was a selfish woman. Yet, Enki and Irene were important to her.

Enki: He set fire to himself inside his library. It was suicide. He took all the knowledge with him. No one knows why, as they never found his journal.

Kul'zak: He died doing what he loves best. Getting drunk and dancing on a ship. He death was peaceful, and calm. Mature if you will. Much like himself.

Esmund: He was mauled to death. Perhaps it was Xaiver, the boy he helped build into a man. Xaiver was the first Shadow Knight. But who knows. It was a gruesome sight. Despite Esmund's eagerness to protect those. He seemed to have failed at protecting himself.

Alright sooo, i did a little redesign work or did alittle touch ups on each symbols of each divine god for Misteria about a few weeks ago...

i double checked at least a few times to be extra sure the symbols of each god at least looked like SOMETHING and so i came up with this!

kul'zak's is a tree (to represent him being the god of destruction and karma)

menphia's is a firey bolt (to represent her being the god of war and hope)

shad's looks like a torn apart heart (to represent him being the god of death and reanimation)

esmund's is a shield (to represent him being the god of protection and judgement)

enki's is shears (to represent him being the god of time and the space)

and

irenes is a sort of plant like it always has been, basically unchanged honestly (but its to represent her being the god of life)

also if you want to compare these with the og designs look no further! here they are for your eyes....

Ask box is always open for questions on Misteria/my MCD+Mysteeet rewrite!

I have gotten inspired from my most recent ask, about my opinions on the DW. This time, I am going to talk about how I believe they are worshiped by the people, and how they affected the present world. Not going by village, just the general most common ways they are worshipped.

--

Irene: Much like how hospitals have the red cross symbolizing medicine and hospitals, Irene's symbol is that. Wherever a doctor and where a hospital is, is the Irene symbol. The matron symbolizes healing due to her many healing abilities, and so that translated over to hospitals and doctors when the idea of medicinal herbs and such were made popularized. Churches are typically where she is worshipped, sermons and days specified when they will join together and pray. The believers also believe that all plant life should be looked after and taken care of, destroyed only if necessary. Many of the bigger villages have green houses filled with medicinal herbs and native flowers that are religiously taken care of. However, there is a dark side. Bandits, kidnappers, just evil doers in general, use the promise of prosperity the name of Irene brings, to bring down and dangers unto others. There were even historically recorded times of people sacrificing others in the name of prosperity and good health.

Enki: Enki was the one who coined the idea of recording history and knowledge within books, less in murels. He was also someone that pushed education buildings and the idea that everyone should get the chance to learn, even if societies at the time did not want that to happen. He was also the cause of the publishing of the first maps to be made of the entire world and the nations. There is one major university using his symbol as the colleges symbol, even if that is not historically accurate. However, most books were destroyed in book burnings that he had created, ones not stored in a major library that is still hidden to this day. He is worshiped by scholars and sailors alike, though there is not one set place people worship him. Though the library could count.

Kul'Zak: Kul'Zaks symbol is used at camps and hotels people own in order to convey the idea that this is where wanderers and travellers can stay. He also had helped Enki publish the maps, though he was the one who had created them. He is not necessarily worshiped, but he has a small mantra that goes around camps that adventures learn, one that is said to bring safety and protection to those going between cities and nations.

Esmund: Esmund is the symbol of the guards order and is used at the guard training facilities around the different nations. He is the symbol of protection and people use his plus Irene's when them or a loved one is sick or injured. Irenes for health and healing, and Esmunds used for the protection of the person. It is also a symbol used alongside head guards, next to the cities symbol. It is only used by the head guards of said village, since they are the main protectors. It is rumored that one can learn the skin hardening ability he has, but it had only been done once, and it was an old man close to death.

Shad: Before he became the destroyer, he was the fighter. Unlike the idea of the protector, he was always on the front lines. He worked with blacksmiths to make different types of weapons that are used today, some were even the basis of better weapons made at later dates. He was worshiped among brash men who only want to become fighters within the wars, but he had the respect of weapon makers. When he became the destroyer, he was worshiped by small cult like villages, ones who praised him to the brashness he had faced as well. They do not believe in the other DWs, and they believe that Shad is the one and only being, the one true DW. Whenever someone was close to death, they were killed to be sacrificed to the Shadow Lord. When young promising fighters come along, they are sacrificed to Shad. Thus, the Shadow Knights began.

Menphia: She is actually the most less known DW, one who is not widely known. Only the oldest witches (and that's few) know of her and worship her. Other than that, there is folklore surrounding her. She would stay in the back lines and rain fire or ice balls from the sky to hit enemies in the lines. Though, that story became less of her and more of a ghost story that surrounds battle fields. That if the battle is gruesome enough, the sky would rain fireballs to torch those who dare make such a gruesome display on nature. Though that type of story is common within Irene believers. She was fine with being the most less known DW, as she did not want fame or worship.

YIPPEE!!!!!! I hope you like and pls expand on your own ideas as well :3

[that-one-i-think]

Another thing to help me characterize my Divine Warriors - Vices

Shad: Bloodshed - After becoming the Destroyer he was always hungry. He craved to consume and destroy everything in his path, whether it be people, animals, or towns.

Irene: Attention - While attention in itself isn't bad, too much of it can be bad. Irene was subscribed to "Any attention is good attention" and was how she became the most worshipped god. She encouraged it so more people would come to her for help. She was a fixer.

Enki: Power - The man was a hoarder of knowledge, and in this world, the quote "knowledge is power" is directly inspired by Enki. She was the Keeper, and they constantly wanted more.

Menphia: Booze - She was the fury, the one who constantly got into fights. The definition of a warrior, but as a warrior, she often killed people in her bouts of fury that she never meant to. This led to her taking moments to... calm her mind with a stiff drink.

Esmund: People - This man was a self-sacrificing maniac. He desperately wanted people to love him and, more specifically, Irene to love him. He wanted to wrap everyone in his big strong arms so no one would ever be unsafe again.

Kul'Zak: Smoking - After becoming immortal against his will, he took up the habit so he could at least feel like death. After all, a smoked fish is a dead fish.

[goat-guy-tm]

Every divine fell in some way. It was bound to happen, no one figure could be holy and pure forever. Each shaped the soul of the divine in some twisted way, something that changed them completely.

Enki's ravenous thirst for knowledge, to become all knowing no matter the cost.

Irene's loss of all emotion and draining of compassion for those under her.

Drae'lic (Shad)'s loss of his own soul and spiral into beasthood.

Menphina's abandonment of those closest to her.

Esmund's thirst for power and control, his want to become stronger than even the other divine and gods that came before them.

Kul'Zak's sudden dissapearence after watching all his fellow divine rip each other to shreds.

The divine's flaws were covered up, twisted and changed to seem more holy. After all, no one wants to admit the god they devote their whole life to is nothing but a desprate, scared, bloodthirsty child.

[indefinitelyimmeasurable]

Finally figured each of the Devine Warriors births for my rewrite!

Irene

Irene is the Earth itself, the first and last thing to exist before Death.

So she's always been, but her physical manifestation emerged from the core of the planet.

The place she emerged from is Starlight. It's why it's a circle :)

Also, pre-human form, she looked like something akin to a biblically accurate angel.

Shad

I'm going to rename him, but I don't know what his new name is gonna be yet.

Shad is both Death and Life, he is the dichotomy between impermanence and eternity.

He, like Irene has always existed.

His domain is the afterlife, all of them. (The Nether, that weird one at the end of s6 of my street)

His physical form was a gift from Irene, so they match in a way.

The rest of the Divine aren't primordial.

Menphia

She was born a god.

She is fury and justice and purity by fire.

She is the third oldest of the Divine and was born a few days after Irene's emergence due to the volcanic activity she caused.

So she was born in a volcano!

She is also the third closest to mortals after Irene and Esmund. She is the indomitable human spirit.

Enki

He is an Eldrich Beast, born from the planet's empty core after Irene emerged.

He was born bare. No identity, no knowledge, no awareness.

He is one of the most human-like Divine, characterised by his greed and thirst for knowledge.

His more human form (which isn't really all that human) is because he can shapeshift, though he always has that uncanny quality.

Kul'Zak

Kul'Zak is first and foremost a traveler, a nomad.

How he was born doesn't really matter.

He wasn't born in this world and he has explored many, many other worlds.

This wasn't the first and won't be the last world he explores.

Esmund

He was born a human and is the youngest Divine Warrior.

He ascended to "godhood" through sheer force of will to protect his people as the first lord of O'Khasis.

He still had a mortal body, though his mind did ascend.

His Divine form was also created by Irene, which is why he's so loyal to her, even if it might be idealisation that's driving his loyalty.

[nottoofondofgaypeople]

Make a whole post about your favorite Divine Warrior ship

I was gonna make this post about Kul'zak and Enki cause they are my fave Divine ship, but then I realized I can make a comparison of Araphel and Esmund to Gilgamesh and Enkidu and that idea is eating me alive.

Gilgamesh the corrupt king, once loved before power pulled him into sin, desperately needing someone on his level to keep him in check. Enkidu who was created by the gods to be Gilgamesh's equal, rival, and friend.

Araphel who began to pull on the strings of a corrupt king and give into his vices due to power, desperately chasing the one person he's ever felt close to. Esmund who chose to acquire this power and uses it to protect his friends, even when they become enemies. He can never quite bring himself to kill his dear friend.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu who fought for seven days and gained respect for one another, enough respect and love that they would literally go to the ends of the earth for one another. Araphel and Esmund who once fought side by side and are now willing to throw one another to the end of the world if it means they never have to see the other again.

You can see the way they could have been. The lives they could have had. Where Irene is Inanna/Ishtar trying to seduce Gilgamesh away, but he stays head strong and only dedicates himself further to Enkidu. Where Araphel and Esmund could have had a truly beautiful relationship, one where they bettered one another both in combat and in spirit, supporting one another in a way only warriors can. Maybe they did have it at one time.

But even if that did happen, there's certainly no kept record of it. Even if Enki is a Keeper, even if Menphia wrote countless journals, there's no record of Esmund and Araphel's relationship before it turned sour. It's too painful of a memory when they see what it became. Enki who could have read these ancient texts and seen his friends in them, weeping over how much better things could be.

Kul'zak who's known Esmund longer than anyone else and knows what it's like when he's in love. He knows that even until the very last moment, Esmund still held love in his heart for the man he once knew. Faintly he still thought they could forgive and learn to love one another once more. It was only when things got so bad that Kul'zak went to the extreme of suggesting they seal him away that Esmund finally agreed to do something substantial.

Kul'zak wanted to do more than that. But he knew that most of the Divine would be against his initial idea of just straight up killing Araphel. Only Enki and Xavier would agree to that. Because he knows that Esmund still loves some past version of Araphel, that Menphia is still incredibly bitter about Irene and Araphel's relationship, that Enki lost someone he loved because Esmund decided to pursue Irene.

Esmund and Araphel love each other so much they'll literally tear the world apart just so they don't have to kill each other.

[xerith-42]

What are some of your rewrite ideas regarding religion in MCD regions, worship of Irene and her comrades, and of the relationship Irene herself has with others (the divine warriors, normal people, lords, etc).

Also just ideas of the Divine warriors in general? I find them very interesting

[picks up Kul'zak by the scruff of his neck and shakes him around like a chew toy]

I have a lot of reasons to throw hands with Jess on some very personal levels, but I want to throw hands with Jess on a creator v creator level over how bad the Divine Warriors are handled. We have exactly one picture of Kul'zak and one picture of Menphina. I started spelling her name with an extra n during my original rewrite and it's just a habit that I picked up because she matters so little that I didn't even notice. It's not like I was going to the wiki page to find information about her BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING THERE!!

The fact that Shad and Irene have so much detail given to them, but the others get JACK SHIT will never not piss me off! Enki and Esmund get a little more, but it's still next to nothing!! These are key characters in her lore, and yet we know next to nothing about most of them.

So, I did some tweaks in my first rewrite that color how I view this world overall, so let's jump into it, starting with the most neglected of the bunch, Menphina and Kul'zak.

I believe Menphina was the Divine Warrior of Tu'la, and the first of the catfolk (oh yeah I call Meif'wa catfolk). The kingdom of Havas is the central kingdom and home to the primary church of The Furious, a warmongering kingdom that once controlled the main city and primary port, but over the years the King sought more and more power in the name of his divine. Menphina encouraged fighting for survival, not for conquest. Her Fury was not in the name of power, but in the name of fighting off those who backed her into the corner.

Much of Menphina's history has become lost on her people. They remember her as a fierce warrior, not the scared and cornered animal she once was. They remember her as a romance-less woman who only reproduced to continue her bloodline, the royal family. They've forgotten that she expressed love for Irene and Shad. They've neglected the pain that would have caused as Irene erased Shad from the story.

Her best friend was Kul'zak. They were akin to siblings, spending hours with one another around a lake in the Tu'la country side. A willow tree with rose vines climbs around it, and after the defeat of Shad, she turned it into a subdimension of Irene's (like the sacred tree Aph and Garroth met under). Her people know she was friends with Kul'zak, but few know the nuances of said friendship. They don't know how much these two would do for one another.

Kul'zak never had a kingdom, never had a church, the closest he gets is a following. Many wanderers and traders consider him a high inspiration, especially ones from The Gal'ruk Islands. Ru'aun has forgotten that he was a wanderer, not a keeper. He kept quite a bit over his travels, but lots of the treasures he gathered were meant for Enki. His closeness to Enki was well documented, if you could read their encoded messages to one another.

Historians call them best friends. If they remember Kul'zak. He doesn't lose sleep over whether or not the rest of the world remembers him, just that those who matter do. His friends, his fellow warriors, and his fellow wanderers. Those are who matter.

Kul'zak was at least a little in love with all the warriors (except Menphina, they're childhood friends and frequently call one another siblings). This isn't well documented or well remembered due to his... Odd expressions of love. The Divine understood it and no one else could.

Also here's a Picrew I did using Brights Picrew Hell of Kul'zak because he's my fave Divine Warrior (I held back talking about him so I can talk about the others)

Kul'zak lost his eye in the fight against Shad, and Menphina was also badly wounded, though details of her exact injury are unknown. She fled to Tu'la before any of her friends could see the real damage.

I think Enki used to be a man full of life and love, happily helping the islands he called his home. He's greatly remembered and highly revered by these people, though the details of his personal life aren't as well known. It's known that he settled down with a woman, and spent the rest of his days fighting the Demon Warlock.

As time wore on he became weary of his position and held resentment for all the knowledge he feels is now a burden. His extensive library started to feel like a prison. The only solace he got was whenever Kul'zak would visit. One day Kul'zak came and he just knew. He could tell by looking at both of them that this was the last time they would see each other. It was the happiest Enki had been in his entire life.

Esmund was also born in Ru'aun, but Ru'aun is only known as the birthplace of Irene. And as a protector, he doesn't mind at all. Some theorize that Esmund could have resented Irene for living in her shadow, but that's exactly what he wants. He wants to use his power to protect and uplift those he holds dearest.

There's no dedicated following to Esmund, but he and Irene ensured that the guard system was a success, and he lives on in the heart of every foolish guard willing to throw their life away for a lord.

Random headcanon that I treat as canon because there's literally nothing to contradict me: It was Kul'zak who suggested that they send Shad to the Nether. He first thought of it after seeing how sad Menphina got every time Irene and Shad fought. He wanted to see her smile. So he went to Enki and the two developed their method with the help of Esmund and the wyverns to seal Shad away.

After sending Shad to the Nether, Irene tried to erase him from the story. Obviously she wasn't able to erase him completely, people still knew who he was, but she spun a narrative that he became power hungry and betrayed them. She made sure there was no record of Kul'zak coming up with the plan, and solely took any blame for it. Afterwards Irene became far more reclusive, and far less kind.

Not that she was hostile, but she responded to the plight of mortals with a general "Learn to take care of yourself" statement. She would only step in if absolutely necessary. This caused many to become disillusioned with her over time, often moving to other regions out of resentment. They expected her to bring their fallen relatives and friends back to life. She never did that after Shad left, not even to her own loved ones. Death seemed like a luxury to them.

And Shad. Man, I FUCKIN HATE THAT NAME. Listen we love renaming shit in this fandom for very understandable reasons, and I think we need to rename Shad more. Like, I don't object to the cast of MCD calling the Shadow King "Shad" as a way to shorten his name in conversation, I think that's fine! I really wish it was that! But noooo, Jess had to be clever and make that the name of the Divine Warrior even though it's a really dumb fucking name. It's not sinister, it's not intimidating, it's not even a good name. It's just Shad. It's a sad Chad.

I'm personally a big fan of calling him Araphel (so much so that I forgot his name was Shad when I first got back into MCD), and that's what his name is always going to be in my brain and my rewrites. Now that I've gotten that out of the way--

I think Araphel is a truly sad, pathetic, broken man. One who once had it all, but it wasn't enough. He needed more, he needed to have something else, he felt he was owed the romance he desired with Irene. And while she reciprocated, it felt inauthentic. As if he loved her more than she could ever love him. Araphel was doomed not by a desire for power, but a lust for someone he could never fully have. Lust turned into desperation, desperation turned into anger, anger to rage, and rage to resentment.

During his rageful state was when he was sealed away. It was during this rage to resentment that he created the Shadow Knights. He knew exactly what Irene and Esmund wanted, guards who would lay down their lives for lords, and lords who would lay down their lives for their people. That's why regardless of your previous attachment, if you're a guard assigned to a lord, your calling latches onto your lord. No exceptions. No excuses.

The thing Kul'zak, Esmund, Enki and Menphina were fighting for was to stop Irene and Araphel from fighting. In the end, they failed. Araphel made his Shadow Knights, and Irene had her lords. And one day, a reincarnation of both were born and sent on a collision course towards one another without any hope of stopping it. In the end, they could never stop finding, falling, and fighting.

Kebek

Campaign!Kul'zak is the patron of nature, travel, wanderlust, and the lost. It is inarguably the most cryptic of the Divine, hiding out in the wild and having limited contact with mortals and deities alike. Despite this, many mortals worship it just as much, if not more, than most other deities, second only to Avon. Boats, carts and wagons are christened in it's name, lost travelers often sacrifice twigs and small game in exchange for Kebek's protection, and few people ever leave their home towns without many prayers and celebrations in it's honor. It's also often honored by hunters and farmers, asking for it's blessing in their respective jobs

Divine Warriors

Here is some info dump about MCD's Divine Warriors in my rewrite, not all of this is known to the public of the mortal realm (especially the stuff about Shad.)

Irene the Matron: There isn't much known about Lady Irene's past, the only evidence they have are the scriptures Enki had written. Though most were burned. It is a common concept that she grew up in a small village (later Scaleswind) in Ru'aun. born from the ash of a god they say. She is incredibly strong, having healing magicks and the ability to bring those back from the dead as well as other abilities (mainly dimensional), Irene did not have a weapon. She can also change her form into a man but she rarely ever did this and it's said that she hated the form. After her disappearance (presumed death) which was 40 or so years after the fight with Shad. She was worshipped more commonly, which her worship later became widespread. Irene is worshipped as the god of medicine/health, the afterlife, agriculture and hope. She is associated with doves (because of her wings) and lavender, around churches and royalty/nobles homes, you will see statues of doves and fields of lavender. It's said that natural forming fields of lavender are places blessed by Irene. Although mainly worshipped in Ru'aun she is seen and heard all over the world.

Menphia the Fury: She grew up in Tu'la near the capital, one of the very few in Tu'la who was human. Menphia came from a well off noble family, she was a strong girl who could wield almost any close combat weapon. She became one of the princesses' guards at the age of 19. There was a rumor that Menphia and the princess were having an affair but it was never denied nor confirmed. She became a protector of Irene and later one of the Divine Warriors, she also had a pet tiger. Her magicks are very limited but they consist of strength and speed. Menphia used multiple different close combat weapons (swords, maces, battle axes, etc). She died during the fight with Shad to save Enki. She is worshipped mainly in Gal'ruk and Tu'la and usually by guards or soldiers. She is worshipped as the god of rage, strength, war, and courage. She is associated with tigers and fire. Her statues always have a tiger at her legs.

Shad the Destroyer: Not much is known about Shad at all, Enki himself destroyed practically everything that he had written about Shad. Them and Irene were close, the common conception was that they were lovers. Irene and Shad had a fight because he was a danger to mortals. Irene sealed Shad deep inside a mountain for 10 years, he later escaped and caused havoc. Although Irene and many of the other warriors had pushed her to their breaking point it was Shad himself who decided to be spiteful and become the Shadow Lord. Xavier was the first ever shadow knight. Their magicks consist of strength, telekinesis, and break dimension barriers. She can change their form much like Irene, to a woman, man, or a form of neither. He seems to enjoy this unlike Irene. Many depictions of Shad are different in gender because of this. Very few mortals worship him but she is seen as the god of deception, chaos, death, and tragedy. He is commonly associated with crows and lily of the valleys.

Enki the Keeper: Enki had many journals detailing both his and the other warriors lives yet he either burned most or hid them away, very few were actually found. He grew up in a home of warriors in Gal'ruk but despite this he became a scholar. He is known to have been in love with many, Menphia, Irene, Esmund's brother. Likely Xavier too. He was born without any magicks but he did know a bit of witchcraft. His abilities after getting a relic were; un-human observation, speed, and levitation. Enki barely fought but when he did he used an ink brush (much like Qiu Yongsi from Tianbao Fuyao lu). Enki died 5 or so years after the battle with Shad. He is worshipped in Gal'ruk and is a common figure head for literature. He is the god of; ink and paper, literature, language, and love. Enki is commonly associated with owls and snow.

Esmund the Protector: Much is known about him as he was the eldest son of one of the most well known historians, Ruthin Ro'meave. He grew up in Ru'aun, he became a guard and later became a Divine Warrior. Esmund was commonly known for his beauty that rivaled Irene's. He was deeply in love with Irene which caused a strain between Irene, Shad and Esmund. His younger brother was horrifically injured during a battle while under Shad's watch which caused Esmund to become even more resentful of Shad. Despite wanting to help defeat Shad he decided to stay behind and protect. He died 30 years before Irene's disappearance. He is worshipped in Ru'aun usually by Lords of villages seeking protection. He is the god of; protection, safety, loyalty, victory, and family. Esmund is associated with swords and diamonds.

Kul'zak the Wanderer: They grew up near the docks of Tu'la, they were a meif'wa. They helped with travel when ships docked on Tu'la. Kul'zak was the first Divine Warrior after Irene, and a nomad. They were a very good bard and a little mischievous. They were the oldest of the Divine Warriors and the one to have kept them all together. After the Divine Warriors split they traveled and spoke of legends for 10 years before dying. Unlike the other Divine Warriors they aren't worshipped in one place, they are worshipped as the god of; travel. merchants, alcohol and music. Kul'zak is associated with intoxication and the flute.

My version/take on the Divine Warriors part two

Menphia the Fury: Menphia grew up as an orphan meif'wa in the streets of a small village in Tu'la, but due to the emphasis on family and support in Tu'la culture, she was raised by the townsfolk and grew up with a strong sense of the importance of family, friendship, and selflessness. Menphia was the head guard in her hometown when she met Irene. Menphia was initially hostile towards Irene and Shad as she believed them to be some sort of opportunists as Tu'la deals with those savior type of con artists regularly. Menphia was convinced to join the Divine Warriors when she saw that they were truly genuine people and that she shared a lot of core values with Irene. Despite her belief in strong bonds, the relationship between everyone in the group was always unstable. Menphia herself would not second-guess having to kill a member of the group if it was for the greater good. It was the only way she was ever convinced to aid the coup on Shad. Although she always sided with Irene, Menphia had a deep respect for Shad. Her time with the Divine Warriors made her very depressed, and she eventually operated more as Irene's right hand rather than operating on her own virtues. Shad's banishment caused Menphia to realize what had happened to her own values, causing her to retire from the group and return to Tu'la, where she rediscovered her spark for life. The Fury relic is the relic of creation, nature magic, element magic, animation magic, and grants the ability t9 create terrain and ecosystems within dimensions.

Kul'zak the Wanderer: Kul'zak grew up in a far out and small region, giving him a desire to travel from an early age. Kul'zak had been traveling for years when he met Irene and Shad, and he was actually older than them. They met because Irene and Shad had become terribly lost one time and Kul'zak took pity on them and decided to be their guide. Although everyone went to Enki for advice, everyone went to Kul'zak for a second opinion as he had better social experience than Enki. Future visions from his relic caused Kul'zak to grow distant from the group. He immediately accepted the invitation to kill Shad, to everyone’s surprise, and refused to disclose his reasons. Kul'zak questioned his decision after the banishment of Shad, wondering if he had really made the best decision for the future. After Shad's banishment, Kul'zak disappeared. Not a soul knew where he was until one day his children brought his deceased corpse to Irene with instructions to bury him at what would turn into Phoenix Alliance island. The Wanderer's relic is the relic of time, space, flight, travel, and time manipulation with the exception of tampering with the past, and also grants the ability to set the flow of time in other dimensions.

Esmund the Protector: Esmund grew up fairly well off. Not rich, but not poor either. He was naturally charismatic and intelligent and would have otherwise led a life as a productive member of society if it weren't for his father. Behind closed doors, Esmund's father was physically and emotionally abusive to him, and Esmund lived in fear of him. Esmund took the abuse until he was around 13, when he found it within himself to poison and kill his father. He was never suspected by local guards, and he was never caught. The exoneration from killing his own father caused Esmund to vow that he would never allow to let another person make him feel powerless ever again. Contrary to what current Ru'an texts state, Esmund became power-hungry, manipulative, malicious, and would go on to become a social climber and work his way into the top. Esmund was the last person to be recruited into the Divine Warriors, and unlike the other Divine Warriors, Irene actively sought him out due to the great reputation he had made for himself. Esmund was hesitant to accept Irene's offer at first, but upon seeing a display of the Magi's power, Esmund knew he needed to have it. Esmund pretended to be on the side of good and justice for a little while, but he would slowly drop his facade and show his true colors. But by then it had been too late to remove him from the group as he had successfully manipulated Irene onto his side. Although it was strongly believed that Esmund was madly in love with Irene, it was all just an act that he did to further manipulate Irene when he pleased. Although he initially had some goodness in his heart, becoming a Divine Warrior completely corrupted Esmund. After the banishment of Shad, Esmund realized that Irene and the rest of the Divine Warriors had nothing left to offer him. He would go on to marry royalty and set the foundations for what O'khasis is today. The Protector's relic is the relic of defense magic, offense magic, grants the ability to split fractions of the relics power among others, and can also open holes in the realm barrier similar to Shad. Except this relic requires total concentration to do so.

What's your opinion of Irene and the Divine Warriors? What were their dynamics?

Personal, a joke headcanon I have is that Irene is like a neurodivergent Jesus who doesn't pick up on social cues (romantic or otherwise) and is completely oblivious to the Shad/Esmund/(Enki) love square she's caught in. Menphia and Kul'zak are in the background cracking up and panicking because they're basically babysitting a God-like deity (Irene) with the mental awareness of a five-year-old, a traumatized possessive Great dane (shad), a giant Golden retriever (Esmund), and most of their days are consumed with trying not to let Enki die in the crossfire

Before I get into my opinions, I think that joke headcanon is super funny. Also, I'll refer to the Divine Warriors as DW during this entire thing just to make it more easier to write and everything.

As a whole, I believe they are a very dysfunctional family. The way I see them, none of them have romantic feelings for one another as I do not feel as if any of them have the time to even have emotional connections like romance. They all used to be the best of friends, but as the weight of being important people and powers came crashing down on them, so did their friendships.

Some dynamics include:

Enki and Kul'Zak: These two are the closest out of the bunch, they are good friends and trust each other with every fiber in their body. However, to history and to the others, these two rarely interacted. Most of their friendship was hidden within letters sent between the two of them.

Irene and Shad: I hated the dynamic between these two on the show. Like.. they loved each other.. but like they didn't? In my opinion, They are polar opposites, both power wise, personality wise, and philosophy wise. They butt heads a lot, but they have their moments. To me, they are the type of found family siblings that will insult and throw punches at each other, but god forbid someone else insults one or the other.

Now, like their names suggest, They all had jobs within the group, though all acted alone and were all worshiped by different groups of people.

Irene was obviously the healer of the group due to what her powers are and what her name suggests. Here's the thing, I believe her powers are like.. too god-like for an entity described multiple times to be a mortal being. Like.. bring people back to life?? Its like a badly written OC. While I do believe she has the best healing capabilities, and some healing powers, I do not think she should be able to bring people back to life. However, she is the person who makes healing medicine a thing to be studies, and not just something left to witches or healing magic users. She started the idea of doctors.

Enki is the keeper. As the name suggests, he is the keeper of all knowledge, he records everything that has happened within the divine warriors, history that has happened in every nation. I like to think that he has a giant library hidden deep beneath the earth's core. It is like the library of Alexandria, but it has never been found. Most scholars do not believe it exists. But it does.

Esmund the protector. I think he has some pretty cool magic, and since we don't know what is powers are, I am going to make something up. He is the protector, meant to protect the people and his matron. I believe he has the power to harden his skin, but he does not use this to his advantage during fights, he only uses it when the fight is getting tough (which rarely happens). I also believe is a tall, buff man. Intimidating to anyone who does not know him, but he has a giant heart.

Kul'Zak the wanderer. He goes between nations, gathers history, records art, records the people and rulers of villages, and also the resident map maker. He and Enki work close together to fill the library up to anything that can fit into it. Also, he blends in so much that it was no wonder that people did not know he was the wanderer.

Shad the destroyer. I believe his old title was Shad the fighter. Unlike Esmund, Shad was always on the front lines fighting. He never really protected anyone, but he was sure a fighter. He was the type to blindly go at it when it came to war, and it had gotten him in trouble many of times with the other DW. He got the title of destroyer during the war. The title of fighter is only kept within the Library that Enki has. Books and other history was destroyed in the book burning of history books.

Menphia the fury. She was usually in the back of wars, having magic that allowed things to fall from the sky to attack enemy lines. Things like fireballs and such. The reason why she is not so talked about is because she wanted it that way. She did not want to be known, she did not want to be remembered. In some regions, the story of the raining fireballs became that of myth, became a story. One that only happens during war full of magical energy converging. Menphia only wanted to live a quiet life, not fight others, espessially people she used to call her friends.

This took forever to type up but coming up with ideas like this was fun !!!!!

[that-one-i-think]

Something I have completely forgotten until I started scouring the MCD wiki is the fact that canon Kul'Zak only has one eye with the other being scarred closed. So now I gotta add that because between that and the fact I have given him a peg leg, he is quickly becoming the most pirate man. So anyone got any suggestions on how I should do it?

I feel like with the several things I've shared of my rewrite here it kinda muddies up the status of the divine during the time the rewrite would take back, so lemme try and explain each as best I can;

Irene- her mortal self is dead, her soul shattered into several parts and spread amongst different realms, yet a whole version of her soul, her divine soul still exists, but in the state Irene was before she decided to 'die', thus her being cold and 'empty'. She ellects to stay only in the recesses of her realm or in the minds of her reincarnations. Seems to take a liking to tormenting MCD!Aphmau the most.

》all her reincarnations; Sylvana(MCD [DEAD, RIP]), Aphmau(MCD), Ein(MCD), Claire(MCD), Aphmau(MYS), Aphmau(MMW/VP), and any other series inwhich the main character is outright named Aphmau (ie HeartPoint, Mermaid Tales, Dreams of Estora ect.)

Shad- while his mortal vessel is dead Shad's soul lives on in the Nether in a formless state. He is able to posses bodies of others for a small time.

》does not have any technical reincarnations but Aaron and Aaron's son Jacob are prime for possession of his relic.

Enki- Alive yet his 'mortal' body is in a comatose-like state held secretly in a stronghold of sorts under an Enki temple far from the Enki Warrior Tribe village and cared for by the whisps of past decedents of his.

》Similar to Shad he does not have direct reincarnations but each descendent of his has had possession of their relic at some point, Travis being the current one.

Esmund- One of the only Divine who passed on peacefully (mostly) and by their own true terms, and did not stick around in any kind of way. His soul and being completely reset as you could say.

》Reincarnation; Zenix

Menphina-Out of the fury and love for her fellow divine (Irene and Kul'Zak) her soul stayed behind after she let go of her mortal body. Before she did though, she marked Hyria's unborn daughter, Lucinda, as her new incarnation and descendent, even if the young witch would not have any direct relation to her. She did so because of Hyria's shared passion for protecting the Divine like Menphina did, hoping it would pass along to Lucinda and make her a divine as well.

》Reincarnation; technically Lucinda, it's weird.

Kul'Zak-Alive. only one amongst all the Divine to be alive still even after all theses years. Instead of letting go of his mortal body, something he believe he would not be able to do as he was not like the rest of the divine by dna, he took part of Irene's relic, by her request, and travled many realms, showing Irene around in his own way until he settled in one and made Tommy, his exact clone.

》Reincarnation; none, maybe Tommy?? How would a clone work in this situation??
