Age of Chaos
At first was an age of chaos and change, where the world who folded unto itself untold times, where nothing was certain and all was temporary save the great celestials, who waged terrible conflict to enforce their will upon the waters of creation. It was
Raziel who first sought to end the madness, as he took the Mantle of Order deigning to reign in the ever-shifting sea, but he could not do so alone. Thus did he seek out
Morkova oldest and most respected of all the Celestials, for she was the great dark, the void of creation and long had she sheltered nascent life within the dark, yet nothing could shrive in such turbulent waters, thus did they find common ground and by the promise of fealty did they band together, and with her at his side did the others pay homage to his words and respect to their deeds.
Then did he seek
Parron , who took the mantle of Creation, for took the fires of stars and made brief wonders, for all things succumbed to the changing ways of chaos and entropy. With promises of appreciation and the longevity of his work did he craft them terrible weapons.
Next, did they approach the brothers
Calium and
Farron , the strongest of them all,
Calium intrigued by their tools of destruction and Farron swayed by
Raziel's words of peace and tranquillity beyond the ashes. Their might and experience would sway battles alone, for as they bore the Mantle of the Unyielding and Destruction. With them were their youngest Disciples
Karu and
Ailym , the Bright and the Fated. But none had ever killed another god before, and none knew how, thus did they seek the only one who could know,
Estilbus bearer of knowledge, but
Estilbus did not heed them, claiming only fire awaited them on such a path, but
Morkova spoke to him, promising him that in the world they would forge, new and even more incredibly knowledge could be made and found, and that he could witness the joy of seeing others learn.
The Ordering
With, the authority of the void, and the forge of creation did his followers march by ancient protection & were armed with first fires, his forces lead by the strongest of their kin, and with the knowledge of to slay their kin did they march to challenge their anathemas:
Calium slung himself into the deepest parts of the fray, where his new tools could bit deep into flesh until he found himself face to face with their eldest, the Mantle of Change, eager to prove himself strongest of the gods did they exchange blows through equally matched,
Calium was surrounded and overwhelmed, they tore his body to pieces and from his flesh band blood did
Salen Rise, she was his pain and rage, and from his left hand did
Sagaron shape himself, he was his pride and nobility and thus did tear into him until only bones and ribbons remained, but they could not tear it apart, for all that remained of him was his steadfast stubbornness to back down and he reshaped all that which took wearing them down by attrition.
the Herald of the Gods and
Salen was granted a weapon by
Parron . Though from this day forth there would be a rift between the brothers, for
Calium knew that his
Brother had been within reach, yet
Hehad stayed his hand, choosing to direct the battle rather than save his own
Brother.
Estilbus confronted Ignorance, and their blood spilled as they threw themselves at another tearing chunks of their divine flesh, and from it spilled forth all Lies(Fennesia ) and all that is unknown(
Lirika ), the former ran away fearing her life, Lirika burst towards ignorance aiding her father in his bloody work, earning her the moniker and title of the bloody moon.
Raziel and
Morkova sought out their foe, chaos, and found him no match for their combined might, save a strike against
Raziel which took his left eye. And from the flesh of chaos did they sculpt the first of the new gods,
Harkon the Judge, from the chaos they would make an order and what was right. And from their bones did they fasten the rules which would stabilize the world, and all the gods swore to obey the sacristy of these laws, chief of which made
Raziel as the god of Order and Law, the master of the heavens. And for 7 days
Harkon would pass judgment unto those who had not signed the law or stood on the side of chaos, and
Arvilus the left eye of Raziel carried out the sentence, and it was death, and great cauldrons were gathered of their essence, that Parron could begin his greatest work.
The Great Labor
And with the greatest of fires did he begin his work, each strike of the hammer did destroy stars to fuel his fires, and from the gore and blood did he craft the material plane.
but it was dead and so he forged two great plans to orbit it; Olysias and Demar, Olysias the plane of all positive forces would spill its life unto the plane and Demar would swallow its excess within its great nothingness, that it would not overflow.
But life on the plane was stagnant, and thus did he create two more planes, The Wyld and Etar: The Wyld bound the plane into great cycles, that their garden world would change to reflect all the splendor that the gods could provide, it would be the chaos of nature in motion, which was to be balanced against the Etar the elemental plane would shift the landscape accordingly, and keep the plane solid and in place. These planes were placed adjacent, to the material plane that they could push and pull against each other to ensure not one single opposite could overwhelm the material. Thus was his work nearly done and from the rivers of celestial blood and gore did
Parron fastened them together by great chains of entrails creating the Astral Sea in between the realms.
