Birthright:

One of my favorite campaign settings takes place on the world of Abreynis. Ages ago the gods battled each other in a great war. Everyone was drawn into the conflicts, every race from Cerillia, Anduria, Djapar, and Thaele were drawn into the conflict. It nearly destroyed the world as the gods themselves died. This event was known as the "Battle of Mount Deismaar", it almost shattered the world. Yet the gods managed to be reborn, through their followers, while the dark god Azrai was banished to the Ethereal Plane and infected it with his malevolence. His new realm would be called "the Shadow".
 This world is similar to the early renaissance period. Humans dominate the world, and five ethnic groups
are found throughout the continent of Cerillia. They are the Anuireans (English/Spanish), Brecht (Dutch/German), Khinasi (Arabic), Rjurik (Norse), and the Vos (Russian). There are the Sidhelien (elves), who once controlled most of Cerillia, but they have retreated to the remaining great woods. The Halfling here have fled from the Ethereal Plane. And the Dwarves that live here are found deep within the mountains.

There also seems to be one pantheon that all worship, regardless of race. Even stranger is the fact some mortals may possess some godly powers. When the gods died, much of there blood was spilled, most of their powers made it to a new vessel.However, there are those who by chance are god touched.. depending on the amount of power..it can be a blessing or a curse.
