The Destroyer's Flood
In a time long ago, an age now known as the, Whimsy of the Gods, when Rüt was a small planet with a single connected continent and the gods lived and thrived on the material plane. The gods were a fun loving bunch of magical beings, all powerful and each with their own ability to create within their domain as they saw fit. However one day Hextor, decided he wanted to be the sole god of war and not share that title with his brother, Erythnul. So he proposed a game of ”Gambit of Ord” to decide who would be the god of war once and for all. Erythnul, enjoying competition, accepted the bet, against the objections of his siblings, and so the game was on and the dice came out. Hextor lost but was convinced that he had been cheated by Erythnul. In order to get even with Erythnul, Hextor unleashed The Destroyer's Flood. The world was covered in water sending many of the gods into hiding in The Great Arboretum. With most of the gods in hiding, Hextor appointed himself ruler of Rüt, his first order of business was to eliminate Erythnul and his allies. Once he killed Erythnul, he hunted down any known allies and killed them as well. Once they were all eliminated or had disappeared into the far reaches of the world their were no other gods strong enough on their own to oppose hextor, and any talk of rebellion was met with the punishment of death. Hextor ruled over the newly formed water world with an iron fist, destroying any god that had the audacity to oppose him. This time period is known as the Dominance of Hextor.
