Starting next semester I will be starting a new campaign. It will be my first high level campaign and I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Sorry if these posts get annoying but i really would like some feedback on my ideas and find some inspiration from you.

This is just the background of the world, something I can give my players so that they have something to base their background stories off of. The campaign is a god slaying campaign. This in mind, I've perverted the gods a bit to fit my needs, as I believe is my right as DM. correct me if I'm wrong please. I'll also include how I plan to roll in my players.

In a time of peace, gods reined supreme. Followers from all walks of life flocked to their deities like moths to the purest of lights. Worldwide festivals were held on a regular basis to praise them. The gods would walk amongst the mortals, blessing them with their presence and honoring those deemed worthy. But like all things the peace came to an abrupt end.

Signet, First son of Pelor, had fallen in love with an elvin woman named Elara. Unknown to Signet, Elara was to be a sacrifice for Zeus, Feeling the sudden love for Elara, Signet interrupted the ritual. Zeus became enraged by Signet's actions, and sought to make an example of him. Zeus murdered Elara and struck down Signet leaving him severely wounded and scarred forever. Pelor, seeking vengeance upon Zeus, asked his followers to aid him in punishing Zeus for what he had done to his son. Pelor's followers began destroying anything that represented Zeus; some even saw Zeus's priests as evil and killed them. Zeus saw this as an act of war, and responded in kind. Many cities were destroyed in the resulting conflict. The death toll quickly rose into the hundreds of thousands, many of them followers of gods previously not involved in the war. However it was not until the death of Thor that the war truly escalated.

Before Thor's death there had been 2 distinct sides in the war. Immediately following, the gods began to question the loyalties of their allies and act on their own accord. It was not often that any two gods, and their followers, world work together to eliminated a common threat, even when they did, they would soon be fighting each other again. Many mortals began to renounce their deities as a result of the chaos, in the hopes that their lives would be spared. It was not long after that political officials followed suit and banned the worship of gods as a whole, in an effort to reduce the conflict.

Resistance groups quickly formed with the intent to bring down the gods. At first these groups were small, unorganized, and untrained. Their attempts were futile and usually ended in little to no success. However they rapidly grew into large guilds dedicated to the research and elimination of gods. Most notable of these groups are; The Signet Sect, which stands to honor the last wishes of Signet, one of the few gods who fought solely for the mortals. The Raven Clan, an elite group of assassins, that have the most success in track down and killing the remaining gods thus far. And the Canavar Guild, that have seemed to have acquired strange creatures that seem to be uniquely suited for challenging gods. Together these 3 as well as some other groups have found much success in their mission.

It has been 20 year since the beginning of the war. Many of the gods have already been killed but those to come are stronger than ever. The path of mortals has been laid, and the actions taken cannot be undone. S, The Eternal

In a nutshell, Signet dies and parts of his soul seek out and merge with the PCs, giving them a massive power boost, the Signet Sect collects them and aid them through the transition of becoming awesome. This allows me to yank them from where ever they happen to be in my world, and also give them a common bond, and explains why epic level charterers could fly under the radar of gods. I personally like it because it allows the Players to focus entirely on who their character is, instead of forcing them to write in why they were in a specific location at a specific time, I can just steal them from their homes if i need to.

What do you guys think? Would this be something you would consider playing?
