"Let there be no Genesis"

YISUN is born, or, perhaps, YISUN discovers that they always existed.
Maybe YISUN never existed at all.
Orasrupt, Heaven, the Broken City. This plane has many different names, but without a doubt, it is the first.
The creation of the universe...
"Let there be no Genesis"
~ YISUN
YISUN is born, or, perhaps, YISUN discovers that they always existed.
Maybe YISUN never existed at all.
"YISUN knew all multidimensional songs, knew all Syllables of Royalty, and wielded the infinite powers of reality and burned with infinite fractal fire. YISUN's glory was great.
"Existing in an infinite state, YISUN had no equal. Being was only circular. It was a wretched life, without meaning or perception. Imagine infinite stories to tell, and nobody to tell them to.
"So, God rejected singularity and circularity, and made the first and greatest division; Division of Self."
"From division was birthed duality. White UN, Lord of Empty and Still Places, Master of All That IS NOT. Black YIS, Infinite Mother of the Rampant Flame, Master of All That IS.
"They were shocked by each other, for although they each wielded infinite art, they were separate.
"In fact, they were so horrified at each other's abject hideousness that they warred for seven years. After, they made love for seven hours, and thus, YISUN again made blissful division."
"From YIS and UN were birthed The Multiplicity. 777,777 Gods in all."
"They raised a City of Iron and Red Stone, and ruled and warred there for aeons, and when they were tired of Infinity, they forged the 4 Orders of Inheritors, so as to sustain and perceive their mighty works.Orasrupt is forged by the hands of Gods, and the First Sun is lit. The 4 Orders of Inheritors are forged.
"All life is fundamentally fire. The Flame Immortal, the infinite and sustained essence of YISUN. Worked by the gods Koss and Aesma. The Angels. Our kin. Our flame was too cold, and we were flung into the void. The Servants, entire races forged for one purpose. The Perceivers. Aesma's mistake, and the only true mortals. And a final flame, also cast into the void, a dark and hungry flame, of which we do not speak."
All devils are born from the hungry black flame the Gods cast into the Void.
Yabalchoath is among these devils.
God decides their work is done, and commits Divine Suicide. Their 777 777 constituent parts depart Orasrupt. The Archngels are left in Heaven as custodians.
Over the next 30 Kalpas, the Archangels act as custodians of Heaven. They grow larger and larger with each passing millenium.
The last of YISUN's 777 777 identities dies, on a plane far from Orasrupt.
On the insignificant plane of Faerûn, the Conquering King is born.
Through unknown means, the Conquering King breaks through the firmament, and reaches Orasrupt. He wishes to meet God - not just one of the fickle Gods from his plane, but the mythical God of Gods.
The Conquering King arrives in Heaven, finding it abandoned, except for the massive Archangels. He has, unknowingly, inherited all of creation.
The Conquering King begins his twenty one year campaign of slaughter against the Archangels. He shatters their great ashen bodies and chases their souls into the Great Void, snuffing out every soul, one by one.
It was there he learned of God's Scribe.
The Conquering King tortures the scribe of YISUN, Archangel Metatron, until the Archangel unveils all of YISUN's names, one by one. Nothing is known about what happens to the Archangel after that.
With The Conquering King's splitting of the Firmament, the way is open for others to follow. Many come seeking power and prestige, but The Conquering King has already claimed the Throne of Heaven, and, the Universe.
The knowledge of thousands of universes comes together on Orasrupt. It was a time of prosperity.
"It was the demiurges who rebuilt the Great Works of the Gods, and bent them to their will. They, who sought the void, and forged bodies for the Angels, and agreed on the law. They, who subdued, masked, and named the devils, and stole their secrets. For a time, they were content to remain apart from all other worlds, aloft, a virtuous society of Philosopher God-Kings. There, they coaxed many secrets from the universe, and lived in enlightenment, art, and song. It was a fat age, ripe with learning."
The masking of the Devils begins.
Binding a devil with a mask grants them sentience, memories, a personality, and the ability to enter Orasrupt or any world from the void.
Yabalchoath is among the Devils bound.
The birth of the Eldritch King
The Golden Era ends with the Second Conquest.
The Universal War, or the War in Heaven, was a war between the Demiurges of the 777 777 Planes.
After years of inaction in the Universal War, the Conquering King disappears unceremoniously. This causes great distress in Orasrupt.
At midday on the seventh day of the 2320th year since the Conquering King began his conquest, THE FIRST SUN turns black. This was not without fuss. Arcs of black energy erupted from the Sun, carving paths of destruction through, not only Orasrupt, but the entire universe. Entire planes were destroyed, all at once. Some suns reacted to the turning, and collapsed into voids of space or exploded, similarly destroying their planes. Entire segments of the Astral Plane that acts as a pathway between the planes were disintegrated. Millions of denizens of Orasrupt are killed, and billions across the universe.
The Universal War ends after almost a thousand years of conflict between demiurges and their armies. Only seven remain, and they agree to sign a pact that ends their hostilities and splits the 777,777 planes between them.
The Sevenfold Pact is signed, officially ending the Universal War.
