The Great Fire of Village

He left the Village in flames. Chaos and screams of terror as the lives were burning before one's eyes were a perfect distraction. In the panic and rush of the fight with an element, anyone rarely paid attention to the actions of one Man. It was all he needed. Only one bag was putting weight onto his shoulder. With his loyal dog by his side he stood in the forest. It was chilling and empty. All sounds swollen by the cracking and yelling carried by the wind. A dead forest, on the day of his death. An only fitting farewell. 

Unknowingly for him, a Knight in armor black as obsidian and cape red as blood followed his trail. No good deed ever happened to those who desert the army of The Red King, and the Man wasn’t just a common knight either. Once an ally now looking with hostility he pursued the chase. The confrontation that followed was heated yet left both of them unharmed. The Man fleeing into the dark forest. The Knight turned back, bolting to help the villagers and to report the encounter to his beloved liege. 

Even if unharmed that night, the Man soon taste the wrath of the overruler of this land, as a curse was placed on his mortal spirit. One so cruel for a man who weeped for freedom, as his own body became a prison, as a Man changed into a Beast.

Lore drop: the crowns in my cotl au

So, as you may have noticed, the crowns do not have a specific domain: they shift their area of expertise (i guess we can call it that) depending on the bearer (for example, the red crown shifts from being the crown of Sleep to the one of Death).

Also, no crown has a domain strictly reserved to them, and by this i mean that any crown could rule over the domain tipically assigned to another specific color, like: the yellow crown before Shamura's rise used to be related to war centered matters, there was a god of Death who beared the blue crown, a white crown of order, and the list goes on.

However, every crown has a specific macrocategory under which every single domain ever they ever ruled over falls.

So, the five crowns the Bishops wear are, actually the crown of Creation, of Survival, Pain, End and Cleansening

Let me further elaborate about this categories and how they inflence the story and their bearers.

The green crown of creation tends to be the most destructive one, filled aoth energy and potential, powers strictly related to the cosmic order and nature. Potentially, the most strong of the crowns, but it tends to heavily hurt its own bearer in its race to unlock it's full potential. The most ancient of the crowns, its bearer are usually either calm enough to not let it start a new era, or have someone else that helps them control it.

The yellow crown of Survival tends to make its bearer evolve from a strictly phisical point of view: sharper teeth, poisonous fangs, more eyes, harder skin, etcetera. While all the crowns tend to transform its bearer, the yellow crown is the only one focused strictly on the evolutive point of view, instead of making the bearer appearance reflect how they see themselves. Heket was the only prey animal who got to wear the crown, since usually it chooses people who have already a big evolutionary advantage over others (racist crown, yippie).

The blue one is a peculiar case, since for a really long time the crown was hereditary and handed by a god to their successor. When it has the possibility, it tends to choose someone who has a familiarity with pain and has the desire to not be hurt anymore in their priorities. The crown of pain is focused more on the research and attempts one does to avoid being hurt, since after all pain is what tells us that something is wrong.

The red crown is actually the newest crown between all the others, since the end must come only after everything else. Due to this, until Shamura started the purge of the gods it holded itself back. In its short existence (by comaorison with the other crowns), it tends to accept as bearer only someone who has the ability to either make others calm while facing the imminent doom or making them accept it eother by telling them there is no other way or reassuring the mortals that it's not realy the end.

The purple crown has the job to clean the world from the other crowns. Exactly, a crown with the mission to control the number of deities going around. Almost as old as the green crown, however way less used since whoever picked it either give up and hided it or died and was left to rot somewhere. It had only five bearers, all charaterized by a strong hate for the other gods.

Having said that, how exactly is a domain picked for a bearer? Does it solely rely on the nature of the new god or does the crown have a say on it?

The first of the two domain is decided only by the nature of the new god, and the second one can either be in direct contrats with it, connected to the first one or chosen by the crown as a way to balance its bearers choice; for example, Shamura has as a secondary domain Knowdlege to both help them in their task and bevause the crown noticed that the pthers gods tended to get extremely defensive if there was a god of extermination or something at their doors. The crown itself is the one communicating to the new god their domain once they deem them ready. Usually, new gods spend their first year officialy as the substitute of the last divine who had the crown, but in some cases their actual domain was revealed as soon as possible. Usually the crowns wait for their first time in eldritch form to tell them, but that's the norm, not the rule.
