Genesis

Celestial / Cosmic

Adar and Lagahashra, the Behemoth’s only creations, were left to their own devices for millennia. The two gods enjoyed each other’s company, but their thirst for change could not be satisfied by the Divine Dimension. They descend to the world and begin experimenting.

Much to their surprise, the world was already home to nymphs and dragons - remnants from the Age of Behemoths - and other new life.   To amuse his partner, Adar began to experiment with creating new lifeforms. He populated the world with new plant and animal life, and Lagahashra delighted in finding new ways to end it all. During this experimental period, Adar created many fantastical creatures that ultimately became extinct.   Taking inspiration from nymphs and dragons, Adar finally gets the hang of life and creates the first self-sustaining species: Giants, (the ancestors of) elves, (the ancestors of) orcs, and dinosaurs. Excited, he tells Lagahashra not to kill these ones. Lagahashra grants Adar’s request, and instead of killing them, simply manipulates orcs’ psyche to more closely mirror his own.
