Biography
Ormazd was the twin brother of the god of darkness Ahriman and bore witness to his siblings acts of destruction. In the beginning, only Ormmazd and Ahriman co-existed alongside one another, both of them representing light and darkness respectively. Ormazd once had control over the universe, having established both the Ahura and the City of the New Dawn granting them both of his own powers during this period. Sometime later, his brother learned how to convert the heart of humans with his dark powers. Due to the ease of dark intent in human hearts, the tables quickly turn in Ahriman's favor, with him gaining more power from each follower that he gained. Ormazd had then retaliated by attacking his brother and cause an all-out war between the two gods. Understanding his power growing from his followers, Ormazd began striking them down before they could further empower Ahriman.
When Ahriman's Army of Chaos began to destroy the lands, Ormazd hatched on a plan to defeat his kin. He created the garden where the Tree of Life resided. He then tricked his brother into entering that realm whereupon Ahriman and his legion of soldiers became imprisoned within the Tree. Satisfied that his brother was defeated, Ormazd entrusted the task of keeping him trapped to a mortal warrior tribe known as the Ahuras hoping for his brother to remain trapped for all of eternity.
This was ten thousand years ago and the Ahuras continued their mission to keep the dark god imprisoned. As time went on Ormazd slowly disappeared and abandoned his followers which began a slow tide of them losing their magical abilities. None of the Ahuras knew where the god of light went.
