==History== | |||
Janus and [[Cassiopeia]] attempted to save [[Zanik]] from death at the hands of the [[Demonic Gods|Demon Lord]] [[Visyra]] in the year 678 AD, but the God of Civilization was fatally founded and became the fourth [[Gods|Immortal]] to die. Later that year, [[Nytid]] and [[Aosoth]] appeared at the gates of [[Antioch]], taunting the citizens and drawing the attention of Janus. The Demon Lords summoned a dark mass of energy and launched it towards the city of Antioch, but Janus called upon the powers of Spring and summoned a flock of zephyrs that blocked the attack. The Demon Lords retreated and headed towards [[Kinsarmar]], meeting up with [[Azaoz]], the Lord of Demons, at Janus' temple. The Demon Lords tried once again to summon a mass of powerful energy, this time aided in the effort by Azaoz. Janus used all of His strength and power to shield Kinsarmar from this attack, which left Him extremely weakened and sent the Wheel of the Year spinning wildly out of control. Each season passed one after another at a dizzying speed, threatening the entire realm. To restore balance, Janus chose to make the ultimate sacrifice and willed Himself into Eternal Winter; another God was dead. | |||
