Question 3: Which is the mightiest False God? Give a poetic account of their feats to accompany their glorious victory in the Wars of Supremacy.Contrary to popular belief, most of the False Gods are really easy to defeat even by a mortal, as seen in the ancient Mosaic Hall, in which an unnamed physician depicted the entire pantheon of False Gods as he defeated them in the Great Arenas in seventeen different points all over the Elementia. That said, however, newer research has shown that through a blessing of the Lord of Time (or maybe a curse), a certain General has been forever immortalized, essentially becoming invincible to spears or swords. Not only that, but the entire army of said General was turned immortal as well, quite literally becoming an unstoppable force, that never gets tired, hungry or weary. General himself is known as Lionheart nowadays, and although his warriors possess no more power than an elite human soldier, the simple fact of his infantry being unable to die makes Lionheart a formidable foe.
Well taught in the art of War and strategizing massive crusades, Lionheart was amongst the most prepared for military action between the False Gods, even including those who used to be amongst the truer deities. Lionheart's infantry quickly took over many of the gods who chose to bring a small or poorly trained army, like Octane or Ferox. Fighting against some of the other deities lasted quite a lot longer, however, most notably, a battle between Osiris' and Lionheart's lasted weeks, mainly due to Osiris using highly damaging siege weaponry. Lionheart did prevail, however, winning a battle between unaging commanders by bribing some of Osiris' own infantry units with promises of immortality. The imbalance created by bribing just a couple of soldiers led to a huge strategic loss for Osiris, leaving him with no choice but to concede his loss and flee the battlefield.
Question 2: What was the name of the 13th discovered element? Explain why it is no longer used today. Be sure to include a thorough accounting of the strengths and weaknesses that led to its demise. Compare with two other elements in terms of spell composition, creature durability, and artifact utility.There have been quite a few proposals for the 13th element, but one that is pointed out to be truer than the rest is Knowledge. Knowledge has been crafted by a deceased member of the Zodiac Council, Ophiucus, during the Great War against Divinity. Ophiucus used his element, coupled with Life and Aether to fight against the False Gods, including his brothers Gemini and Scorpio. Knowledge was lost due to Ophiucus' by hands of Decay and his libraries flooded by Neptune.
Knowledge was a powerful element, which made its users aware of their opponent's opponent's actions through works of scouting creatures and spells, which revealed opponent's hand and prevented Cloaks from being active.
Another advantage was a rare material called Orichalcum - a metal that dealt large quantities of damage whilst being literally weightless. Few accounts even show that weapons made of Orichalcum could be floating with no additional spells. Orichalcum also could be used to buff soldiers, lending them additional armor for a small price.
A very helpful part of Knowledge's caster were barracks, structures used to spawn Spearweilders. Now, Spearweilders were available as separate purchasable fighters, much like Graviton Mercenary, but a lot of the times it was more efficient to train soldiers on the field. Spearweilders constructed the majority of Knowledge elemental's army due to relatively high attack and cheap cost.
A pinnacle of Knowledge as an element was legendary Celestial Essence - an alchemic substance that granted any targeted creature in the game power of a giant, multiplying their attack tremendously for a short period of time. Celestial Nymphs, or Lampades, are presumed to grant powers of Giants to Knowledge creatures as well, however, no records have been found of Lampades actually partaking in battles. Celestial Nymphs are theorized to extinct during the flood of Ophiucus' city.
All of the technology aside, there were quite a lot substantial flaws in Knowledge. Namely, lack of power needed for sieges: Often, Knowledge Elementals would struggle to destroy certain structures, even despite being able to take down massive enemy troops. Another issue is the speed of Knowledge. It takes a while to set up, which can be crucial in a fight against hordes of creatures. It is theorized that these two reasons were the cause of Knowledge's Downfall during the massive flood of Ophiucus' city.
Question 5: During the Seventh Crusade, which dragon caused the most logistical issues for their army? (Hint: it involves feeding)Easily, the "Immortal One". Not to be confused with Phase Dragons, the "Immortal One" is one-of-a-kind dragon that possesses incredible ability to regenerate its own body parts, can digest practically anything, making itself invulnerable to poison, and evolve to adapt to any threat it would face in a matter of seconds.
Multiple accounts were recorded about trying to tame the "Immortal One", nearly all of which resulted in the death of the tamer. The same outcome met every attempt to kill the indestructible "dragon". There is a record, however, that during the Seventh Crusade, life elementals managed to lure the "dragon" on their side by promising it a feast on whatever bodies of crusaders the "Immortal One" could kill. Unfortunately, the beast itself had other plans - both sides were almost completely devoured, with only a few survivors, reporting the "Immortal One" rampaging and slaughtering everything on its path.
A bit of trivia, the "Immortal One", contrary to its name, is theorized to be killable. Despite no attempts at killing the beast being successful, there still are theories on how one could kill the "dragon", most notable ones involving starvation, incineration using so-called "Pure Fire" and placement beyond the event horizon of a black hole. Another bit of trivia - The "Immortal One" isn't technically classified as a dragon, which is a common misconception born through the "Immortal One" taking a shape of a massive dragon during the aforementioned Seventh Crusade.
