The Secret Society of Immortals or just a full society.

Does your story have a secret group of beings that are immortals that aren’t known to the whole or a group of immortals that are known, but are few of them or something along those lines?

Thoughts and feelings?

EDIT: No deities allowed! They are over qualified for this.

There’s 3 goddesses, or rather, 3 female clock makers that keep the universe running. Does that count? The Goddess of creation, the Goddess of preservation, and the Goddess of destruction.

Apart from the Ancient Gods of Arillion, Essingvaux, Aporica and Curunthis… There are no other immortals, other than the Children of Mara, Temulkar and his brothers.

No secret societies though…

Geldrid is an immortal, but he does not like to dwell on it. Or his past for too long. For all it brings him is pain.

Freyja might be biologically immortal by accident. About 30% of Freyja’s DNA is synthetic, most of her major organs are cybernetic or chip-regulated, and she has rapid healing (light to mild bruises fade in a few seconds). The end result could be either Freyja doesn’t age or she ages at a slowed rate, maybe half-speed. No one (not even the author) knows what Freyja’s physical or mental limitations are. The clone project team just threw everything together and hoped for the best.

A significant down-side of this for Freyja is she could outlive Dov (the centerpiece of her life) and not understand why. Freyja doesn’t know she is a clone. One solution would be for Dov to request Dr Lander give him the same biological upgrades the doctor gave Freyja. A high risk venture for all involved. If the procedure failed and Dov was crippled or lost, a likely outcome, then Freyja would inflict a very painful blood-drenched vengeance on the Good Doctor.

Lander might also hint that the procedure is unnecessary as (unknown to all except Lander) while Dov was in a medical coma, just enough of Dov’s DNA was ‘blended’ with Freyja’s to prevent cell rejection. Dov’s new left arm came from Lander’s clone project. So Dov might already have some of Freyja’s de-tuned / dormant biological abilities.

I have secret quasi-immortals in my story.

There was a society of sorcerers who achieved immortality in an age long past. The Masters of Zinzarel who learned the secret of the Universe, and developed a method of forced rebirth — which achieves immortality. But they suddenly disappeared as a way of the Universe correcting itself.

Fifty years ago, the Shadow Lord entered the Dark Realm and discovered the Masters who remain trapped in there. From them, he learned the method to immortality. In exchange, the Masters command him to aid them in escaping the Dark Realm. He doesn’t aid them but decides to share immortality with the world. A very bad idea albeit somewhat altruistic. Turns out disrupting the cycle of birth and rebirth creates zombies, and whole other catastrophes that tip the balance of the Universe.

At the start of the story, the Shadow Lord has been defeated, and the world is recovering from all the chaos. People are vigilant of his imminent rebirth — which assuredly will bring more chaos. Children born with magic abilities are being killed across the world.

No one knows about the Masters and the mysteries of Zinzarel. They are seen as either religious figures or mythological figures. They remain a secret, whispering across the Realms to the newly reborn Shadow Lord who is perhaps too naive to understand their intentions of returning (to cripple the land of the living).

This sound quite intriguing. :thinking:

Uhm. No. All my immortal characters (deities and non-deities so still counts :joy:) are fully aware of each others’ immortality. The only reason majority of mortals aren’t aware is because they’re extremely unobservant.

Yes, the Guardians of Elgana. They’re seven normal individuals chosen by the seven stones of the Guardians to become Guardians. No one knows who they are. They are immortal because Guardian magick is so powerful it makes them age even slower than Sorcerers, and they are extremely hard to kill (they can regenerate if it’s not their time to die yet).

There’s been the Zero Generation and the First Generation. At the time of Pinti’s story, the Second Generation is about to be created.

Immortality comes at a severe cost in my universe.
