Ascension of the Old Gods

Summary

The "Ascension of the Gods" legend refers to a long stretch of time during the Age of Evolution, when the six demigod children of Auvori & Denothis used the Gaiostones to individually ascend their mortality and become the High Gods of Gaion. Each of their ascensions played a significant role in the history of their respective humanoid races.

1. Gar'gomaut, High God of the Land & Giants (son of Denothis) 3,500 BDV - merged directly with the Garonis Gaiostone and used its power to bring the continent of Esgaron to the surface
2. Akana, High Goddess of the Sea & Seafolk (daughter of Aurovi) 3,400 BDV - used the Blauri Gaiostone to ???
3. Cyr, High Goddess of the Moon & Cyregnorian Elves (daughter of Denothis) 2,900 BDV - used the Daidrin Gaiostone to halt the planet & moon's rotation, literally creating an endless night
4. Dahli, High Goddess of the Sun & Dalterran Elves (daughter of Aurovi) 2,870 BDV - used the Goultani Gaiostone to draw the power of the Sun back to Gaion, breaking Cyr's hold on the planet
5. Thatos, High God of Chaos & Orcs (son of Denothis) 2,200 BDV - channeled the Rouzhai Gaiostone's raw power after digging it out from miles of volcanic rock and magma. Used it to lead the orcs & goblinoids against the giants and dragons that fought over their territory
6. Hytheron, High God of the Sky & Humans (son of Aurovi) 2,100 BDV - used the Goultani Gaiostone to lead humanity in rebellion against the dragons that ruled Hythenos

Once all six High Gods ascended to godhood, they acted in their own interests. However, by 2,000 BDV, five of the six formed the Divine Union and fought on a united front against Gar'gomaut, the giants and the dragons.
