Boh: The Revolution
By Alex Williams



The tale of Boh is one of grief and pain. Anguish and agony fill the pages of its history. However, through the death of an old belief, the life of a new one begins. This is the story of the Paeklone’s decent from glory and the arrival of the new, noble, untapped power known as Boh.


Boh: The Fall of Darín

The Paeklone’s primitive power, known today only as Darín, engulfed the world in the latter portion of the 20th century. Its strange and all encompassing aura was learned by countless scholars and dark masters who delved deep within Darín’s hidden secrets.

Greed and lust for power corrupted Darín’s wielders. Soon, every living organism that had ever come in contact with it began to die. The once noble power had been tainted by mankind’s ravenousness and was slowly tearing the world apart.

Governments who were affected by the power set monopolistic hierarchies over their populations. Famine, poverty, and crime took hold of the world’s cities and turned even the safest communities into crime powered metropolises.

The once noble sages of the power, the ancient Paeklone, became dark warlocks, harnessing Darín’s strength for their own purposes and lusts. The world was utterly on the brink of destruction, and humanity could not save itself.

Boh: The Discovery

Hidden from the rest of the world, a small band of Paeklone had been studying and practicing a little-known yet much more powerful form of Darín. Ancient records of strange phenomena when harnessing Darín led these men to delve deeper and deeper into unraveling the mystery.

They eventually came to the conclusion that this power was not part of Darín at all, but an encircling warmth from which all life drew its power. Unlike the dark undertone which powered Darín, this new power harnessed valor and light as its influence.

The newfound power rendered its discoverers speechless. Their tongues became so bloated with disbelief that they could utter but one sound... Boh! Outsiders soon called them the People of Boh, and so the power was named.


Boh: The Great War

After several decades of corruption, the Darín Warlocks had come to rule over the now ruined and charred Earth. Greedy and malevolent, the necromancers sat upon their twisted thrones in the Citadel of Darín, ruling the people with fear and power.

The followers of Boh grew in number over the years. What they lacked in numbers, they made up for in experience. Each practitioner of Boh was a veteran to the battlefield and the classroom alike. When the time came, they united under one banner, calling themselves the Boh Crusaders.

The time was at hand. Long years of planning and spying placed the Boh Crusaders right where they wanted to be— between the Great Bridge, and the Black Citadel. The Boh struck with unrecorded fury. The Darín Warlocks were caught off guard and their gates fell before the might of Boh.

After the last remnants of the old Darín ways were eviscerated, the Boh cleansed the Citadel and renamed it the Temple of Boh. The most wise members sat on the Council of Boh and oversaw the reconstruction of a broken world.



Boh’s power encircles all life with its warm embrace. It empowers the very essence of life, and drives the cosmos. Boh is the greatest power the world will ever know. It is delicate yet robust, late yet punctual, ambiguous yet distinct, mysterious yet apparent, and majestic yet pedestrian. It is everything, and nothing at all. Let all life bask in its warmth, and may Boh be with us, always.
