==The Ape Gods==
In the deepest parts of the west, there lies a great jungle, where a group of apes have attained sentience. They became aware of the gods, but had no deity that would pay them attention. Around the great mountain called Monkey, they prayed for a god that would lift them up, that would give them a song they could call their own.

They got four.

Myrdahk the Dark, a god of black magics, evil and twisted, and powerful of will. His companion and occasional torture subject, the Dented One, a zombie god whose mind was lost long ago, black eyed and almost innocent - emphasis on "almost". Roshael, of the ur-men, a massive man-mountain who had already reached ascendancy on his own, but whom had been possessed by a group of vengeful spirits - spirits of his slain comrades. And lastly, the Axe Princess, a nameless child warrior-goddess from the distant continents. 

Despite being of vastly differing foci and ethics, despite the fact that the gods at large have convinced themselves that the Ape Gods do not exist, despite the fact that their greatest followers at the moment are mere gorillas... they play on. Because all things come to ruin in time, meaning that right now, they've got nothing to lose - so they focus on the one message that they have in common, the one thing that they hope their followers will learn and take to heart: "It's the music that we choose".
