The Plane Wars

Descend of the Celestials

Now the celestials began in eager and earnest desire to shape the planes, they would be great and beautiful places, where life could flourish, but first, the great fires had to cool before it was safe for them to enter their new realms and escape the endless dark. Thus did they wait for many years, but their worlds always withered and life would not seed, they remained dark and desolate places cloaked in the shadow of Morkova, where only hard and strange creatures thrived, thus did they seek Hezarion god of light, long had he been dying the great dark, but for his help, he demanded to be elevated to Celestial instead of mere Nurin, and to be given the chance to show his true potential and to spite Morkova did he demand that she have no influence where his light touched. Thus did they bring life to the planes, but what they saw appalled them, in the light of Hezarion did they see the primordials, creatures who had long hidden away in the shadows of Morkova, and now the dwelled in the planes shaping it to their desires, such affront could not go unanswered and Raziel rallied to his banner once more, Parron reluctantly reheated his forges for war instead of promised creation, and Farron did what was necessary and empty Calium called his children and disciples to him once more and The Bloody moon made ready for a war where her father did not, and on great serpents of fire did they descend unto the planes. But the celestials found that the planes were not yet stable enough to contain their presence, for though they broke primordials, they also broke their worlds with it. Therefore Raziel declared that in their stead they would send their children to wage terrible war so as to reclaim their worlds.

The Creation of Orbis

Thus did the long war begin, and while the Celestials could but watch, did they forge a great palace from the fragments of shattered planes, they named it Orbis, the high Garden, Razial fashioned it in his own image, a perfect realm of order and good, a place where chaos would be a foreign concept and invited all the gods to join him in heaven and to take care of their needs did he fashion beings of pure light with the assistance of Hezarion, and from his heart did he fashion crystal within this realm, that would maintain it’s balanced and ensure the continuation of its light and his servants who he named Angels.

The Mother of Monsters

As the war waged on endlessly did the children of the celestials suffer, even as the angels of Raziel descended upon the realms, reborn endlessly from the heart of Orbis it could not stem the wrath of the Primordial Titans. Then did Morkova approach the celestial court with an idea, she spoke of a plan to end the war, that by the blood of all the gods and of primordial captives and turncoats could she craft the ultimate scions of all the gods, something which could fight on the plane, and be it’s master, in desperation did the celestials agree, thus were the firstborn given flesh, thought and bone and the world recoiled before it’s new custodians. Morkova dotted on her newfound children, and Raziel gave her a week to raise their newfound sons and daughters. For each day did she give them a mantle, The first did she grant the responsibility of time, the second did she give responsibility for the dreamscape, and third was granted domain of life and the fourth was granted domain over the health of the world, the fifth was given domain of the flesh, and the sixth was told to be a steward of the earth and all that which Hezarion did not touch, but on the seventh day did Raziel demand they leave, and the last child was given nothing but itself. These new creatures of the gods, the firstborn children unto the material plane, swayed the tide for the celestials and allowed them to finally descend from Orbis, Parron began his long Task of shaping the world, raising the mountains and dividing the earth with great oceans.

First children

As the firstborn handled the war, did the Celestials and most of their scions enjoyed an era of peace in the great paradise gardens they had made, and in this time did many of the younger gods seek to carve out a place of their own, thus did the firstborn of Morkova and Raziel; Laark wed with Mivna, and together were they granted the mantles of god-hood as God of the Woodlands and Goddess of compassion and sired many children, of which were on the particularly weak child, who they named Elvarion, who in time created a people in his own image, a wife who he split his power with, and 13 beautiful sons and daughters, they were the elves they were to be the stewards of the world by the degree of their Father and Moter, and by right of Raziel. Thus did they reign in the lesser creatures left behind by the primordials the terrible orcs and the wretched goblinoids, hunting them across the planes to push them out of the heaven lands. Parron in his passion for the craft made his people out of stone and steel and gave them the mountains he had made, and the caverns beneath where they could dig out the treasures he had left for them. And Sagarious made the mighty giants with his sister, to be the strongest in all the lands as he proudly proclaimed, that they would rule the mightiest peaks and all they could see from them. In those years did the primordials surrender the planes to the celestials, and swore to serve the Thus did the planes end, and a golden age followed, in which the gods walked amongst their creations, guiding them to greater and greater heights of glory and joy.
