It is said that in the beginning, one God, Cronos, reigned over all. People believed that if they amassed together and assaulted the heavens they could easily take one God and reign over themselves. No one returned from that war with the God Cronos, but in the days that followed 8 men and women came before the people of Locbroalm claiming to be the new Gods of the Realms.
