The Vigoor Mythology is a Scroll in Ninja Gaiden II.
In-Game Description[]
In the beginning, a great inconsistency flowed out
into the nothing; a nothing that was afraid of its
own nothingness. A pure terror without color,
without sound, without smell, it formed the root of
all deification, and eventually it coalesced into the
shape of the first Deity, Gurdu. Gurdu gave birth to
all elements, and provided them with order and function.
In a remote area of space from where Gurdu provided order,
there existed the territory of a chaos formed from
elements without shape. This chaos, which had been
forgotten during the blessings of Gurdu, existed at
first as only a instinctual fear, but eventually the
chaos began to take shape and a consciousness was
formed within it.
At first this was just a small envious presence, but
eventually it grew and became clearer. This marked
the appearance of the Hatred. The chaotic nature of
the Hatred further evolved it, bringing it to the level
of a deity.
The ancestor of all Archfiends, Vigoor, began
to devour the territory of Gurdu, beginning at
its center. During endless solar and lunar eclipses,
the earth shook and split, the seas dried up only to
flood into existence again, and intense winds swept
over everything and fires burned down all of existence,
ignoring even the concept of time itself. Eventually,
Gurdu lost his strength, and the world once again plunged
into the chaos from which it had come.
Then, a great change occurred. During the throes of the
unending destruction, the body of Gurdu himself split
into four. Each part became a deity itself, controlling
Sentiment, Wisdom, Immorality, and Creation.
In this age of pandemonium, the Serpent, Deity of
Creation, was the only one of the Deities who
managed to keep some semblance of sanity. The
Serpent gave birth to a tiny presence, something
that no other being would even notice... the seeds
of life. These seeds managed to take hold and
grow in the storm of chaos, and ever so slightly
began to evolve, eventually becoming thirteen
Dragons, whose destinies were to be found in battle.
The Dragons waged an endless battle against Vigoor,
who never ceased in his attempts to bring the world
into a maelstrom of hatred. Eventually the Dragons
were able to banish Vigoor to the very ends of
the world.
However, it was at this time that the youngest
and lowest in position of the Dragons, the Dark Dragon,
summoned the Hatred with its feelings of inferiority.
The Dark Dragon, now full of evil intent, joined
with Vigoor and his spawn of Evil Deities to
further his advance into the territory of Gurdu. This
conflict continued throughout the eons of history,
and during this struggle the first spark of human
life appeared in the form of the Ancient tribes.
Of course, old conflicts are not easily resolved, and
even in the age of the Ancient tribes, the Dragon
Lineage and Archfiends continued their battle for tens
of thousands of generations. The struggle finally
ended when the members of the Dragon Lineage were
able to seal away the Archfiends and their spawn.
The land that the Archfiend Vigoor once held
as his final territory has become this, the
land of Vigoor. This land was also where the Dark
Dragon committed his act of treachery, and where
the Ancient tribes lived. That is why their
descendants, we Fiends, have taken over control
of these lands. With this land as a barrier, the power
of Vigoor is, for now, limited only to this Earth.
Vigoor is the Demon of Destruction, and the deity
who creates history; when the decadence of this
world has reached the breaking point, he will return in
a blaze of cleansing flame and recreate the world.
Chaos, like a flood bursting the banks of a great river,
will fill this world once again, and we will be
the first recipients of this bounty. Evolution
has and always will begin from here, the land of
Vigoor.
It has been several hundred years since the Supreme
Fiend Gogohn established what would eventually become
the Vigoor Empire here in these lands. If a new warrior
of the Dragon Lineage should appear, the Holy Emperor
shall be infused with the power of the Archfiends.
