Personal history
X'Rell was born of the Sovereign Supreme and Vulcris for the purpose of creating a people and giving them gods to worship. So, X'Rell made a companion and named her Roni. Together, they made the first sylvae and put them in the Realm of Vigor alongside the Sælfey. After a time, X'Rell saw the sylvae required more attention than they or Roni were willing to provide, so they fashioned more gods to help them, calling them the Markarey. They made Emisiën, Imith, Evinshar, Korissin, and Priëtass to aid them.
In time, some sylvae turned their devotion away from the Markarey, in favor of Verana, and the Markarey were jealous. With Verana's cooperation, X'Rell called the sylvae together. "Many of you have devoted yourselves to Verana, though Roni and I made you. Roni and I gave you the other gods to help and teach you. So be it. If you choose, you may reject us, your creators and gods, to remain here with my blessing and serve Verana. Those who remain faithful, I will give new homes. Choose now! Do you serve the Markarey, or do you serve Verana?"
Fully a third remained behind. They became the Ælfey and remained in the Realm of Vigor, serving Verana. The rest, X'Rell transported to the Material Planes, naming them the Lysælfen. This split came to be known as the Sundering.
After the Sundering, Imith came to X'Rell and said to him, "Our people could rule these worlds, for they are wise and these lesser peoples lack subtlety." But X'Rell was taken aback and appalled at Imith's suggestion. The two quarrelled bitterly and Imith went to Evinshar, then to Korissin, and the three of them gathered a third of the Lysælfen and took them apart. They called themselves the Unmarkarey, and their people they named the Thjodannalfen.
X'Rell became angry and declared a war of vengeance on the Unmarkarey and the Thjodannalfen. For centuries this war persisted. Eventually, the war ended, and X'Rell and the Markarey drove the Thjodannalfen under the surface, exiling them there forever.
