History

During their time period of dominance, known as The Age of Dragons, with the gods disappearing and losing their powers, the dragons specifically the chromatic dragons saw an opportunity to take the world of Rüt for themselves. They created their own gods to worship and in doing so willed them into existence. The gods seeing this happening before their eyes finally understood that they needed someone to believe in them to regain their powers. They began to return from their hiding places and to try to court the other beings of the World of Rüt and surrounding planes.The chromatic dragons saw this and feared they may lose control if these mortals began to worship the gods and allow the gods to regain their powers.The metallic dragons did not agree with their counterparts instead they believed that gods and dragons could live side by side. The Allfather, Asgorath, not wanting to become a lost god himself decided to help the chromatic dragons find a means to control Rüt. He searched out and found the Anomalies of Impurity. Though their origin and power are unknown the dragons decided to use the orbs to help them achieve their goals. The orbs are infused with an evil living inside of each one. Waiting to be spread across the land leaving in its wake a trail of destruction. Eight of the orbs were taken by different chromatic dragons to be used to spread chaos across Rüt. Asgorath kept the last orb, the orb of darkness for himself.
They corrupted the dragons, taking over all functions and fusing with each dragon as some sort of parasite, until they became their own being(s). The Infernals , as they came to be known are beings of pure evil, they maintain their draconic form but it is altered beyond that even of an ancient dragon.
Each of the Anomalies of Impurity was designed to corrupt and distract humankind away from the gods: Greed - to tempt even the most devout of man; Pride - to lead them to believe they themselves and not the gods should be worshipped; Envy - of the other species of humankind, the dragons, and the gods themselves; Famine - striking at each civilization of the world plunging them into dire situations; Pestilence - or the spread of disease and sickness to the magical beings of the land; war - which broke out not only between the humanoids and dragons but also between each of the species of humanoids; death - a new development on Rüt as the species of the land were all born to be immortal so that the gods never had to worry about worshippers dying and them disappearing from the world; and lastly darkness - once the seven anomalies had taken their true form and the Infernal's sufficiently spread their chaos through the known world, they then joined together at the Well of Dragons to call forth the last and strongest of the Infernals - their leader Myr'Kur or Darkness.
