Creation

There was once a single existence called the Infinity. Within the Infinity was all things, but nothing had yet been formed. The Infinity thought, and acting upon it, burst apart and gave birth to three beings: Aether, Entropy, and Time. These were the three Gods but Aether and Entropy were not yet aware of Time and only knew of each other.

The unknown God, Time, was everywhere and nowhere at any given moment. But it cared nothing of the strife developing between Aether and Entropy, who disagreed as to how the universe should be shaped. Aether desired structure, for all things to be planned, and Entropy desired the random and chaotic, to create a cause but not to control the effect.

Together they decided to create two worlds, each based on each god's own ideals. Aether's world was of Earth and Water. Earth was solid, and Water conformed to it. It was a world of structure.

Entropy had a world of Air and Fire, which swirled about each other, causing chaos and turmoil, tempting each other to avert from their paths. The Fire heated the Air, and the Air blew faster and faster. Eventually they became one and the first star was created.

Unknown to the creators of these worlds, they had placed a bit of themselves in their creations, unable to create Life without giving it. From Aether came the gods of Water and Earth, and from Entropy, the gods of Fire and Air. But even stranger than that were the two gods that came from these four; unbidden, undesired and unplanned.

Air and Fire were curious. They knew of the world that Aether  created; they knew of Water and Earth; they knew that Earth and Water were stable, unlike them. Air and Fire collaborated and decided to form a scout. Using their powers as one, they summoned a new god; Light. Light was free and fast like Air, yet strong and determined like Fire. Light spilled forth from the star onto the world Aether had created, and then reflected back towards Air and Fire, telling them of the creatures of Earth and Water. But as Light touched the world Aether had created, it created a burst of new energy. Entropy's and Aether's worlds were not meant to interact, and the communicating of Light and Earth, the creations of Aether and Entropy, broke the laws of nature. It was too much, and the little bit of Earth which Light touched glowed green, and Life was born along with the very first seed. It desired to create sentient beings that could think and move, crafting living creatures and plants in the world.

It was now that Time took notice, for it saw that Light and Life had nothing else to balance them. Aether and Entropy were too busy bickering to care. For Light, it was simple. The shapeless, nameless dark that was all that was remaining of the once great Infinity, that had, until then, served merely as a holder for the greater Gods' worlds was given Life by Time. The Darkness awoke and lurked, watching the events it held in its cold embrace for so long, and now able to affect them.

But for Life, Time did not know of anything to do. There had never been anything other than Life, and it had never been a problem. But now, personified into a being, it had to be balanced. Time began to think; however, during its planning, Aether was furious as it had finally noticed Life and Light. It was livid that Entropy had changed his world by adding Life and Light to it. Entropy said that it was the order of chaos; unexpected things happened. But Aether argued it was their plan to each create their own world, and maintain only that world.

As they argued, Air and Fire were again succumbing to temptation. They could not resist the beautiful stories of symmetrical beings which Water and Earth created and decided to get a closer look at the planet. The star moved closer and closer.

Things began to change on the world. The creations of Life changed, became black and withered. Water began to steam and it became painful and pained itself. Earth, seeing its companions in pain, pulled away from the star.

The star however knew not of its destruction, as it had never gotten close enough to view the world completely, and kept coming as Earth retreated further into the Darkness. The Gods gathered and argued. Air and Fire just wanted to look, Entropy said, it was nothing more than a peek they wanted, but Aether said it was Entropy's influence. A bitter feud grew between the arguing sides.

And so Time, still forming its plan, decided to create another God, this one more visible. It would decide what to do.

The new God appeared to put an end to the fighting of the five, and thought of what exactly would do so. It came to the conclusion that without Fire and Air, Life could not continue its work, Earth and Water would be nothing but what they had first been, and would constantly wither from even that state, with all Water becoming steam and all of Earth brittle dust; all mixed with the ashes of Life

This new god was clever and understood what must be. Parts of Air and Fire could come to the planet, and the planet could circle the star, and so they all see each other from all perspectives. Air would help Life create more interesting things, andFire would destroy the old to make room for the new, everything could work in harmony.

But then a problem arose: they wondered, could the world circle the star? Earth could not do it forever. It had to help Life and control the flow of Water, and it just was not flexible enough to manage all the tasks handed onto it.

The new god said, “My purpose was to solve your problem,” and so, the new god took the name of Gravity​, and pulled the planet in orbit around the star, taking away a part of Earth's burden.

The gods were pleased. The compromise was perfect and they could create, destroy, control, and shape their worlds as they chose. Fire and Air created many more stars, and the Earth, Water, and Life, many more planets.

When Entropy and Aether saw their creations working in harmony, they were not pleased. They felt that their creations should not be together. The chaotic should not be with the structured, the imperfect with the perfect. Both the Gods blamed the other.

They argued and fought against each other and against the others. And the brief harmony was shattered.

But still, no one could win.

Then Aether and Entropy realized something was wrong, even with their unplanned universe, something was there that they had never noticed. This new God of Gravity was the one who had brought them together. But they had not created it. Nor was Light filling the universe as it should. Something was in the way.

And so, at last, they discovered the existence of Time. They had used Time, known of Time, since the beginning, but never given it conscious thought, never considered it alive. Now they knew.

“Yes,” declared Time, “I have brought balance to your creations. Would you wish my end simply for this?”

“You have ruined our creations!” Aether cried, unable to see the structure balance because it was not its plan.

“This is our place, not yours!” Entropy raged, “Leave this place!” It was unable to see the constant chaos balance had to maintain in order to remain as it was.

Neither saw that even they, the first gods, had been balanced.

And at last, Time had the idea it had been searching for; the end.

A new and terrible god was formed from this thought. The God of Death. It came from the Darkness, and was its twin, able to concentrate itself onto a single point.

The Darkness was amused by this, seeing this new thing, and saw that it was simple, like itself. Dedicated to a singular purpose. And so was the Covenant of Death and Darkness formed.

“If you ever succeed in destroying me,” said Time to the others, “You will destroy yourselves. Death will come for me, but it will also come for you. Only it will remain, and the universe will belong to it alone.”

Death… And Darkness.

So began the great strife, and prelude to war.

But over the course of Time, the other gods also began to notice the existence of Death and its sinister desire. For unlike Darkness who wished only to cause misery and despair, Death longed for the eradication of any Life. Each of the gods started to notice how their own creatures they had brought into existence were dying, and it was not just of old age but also diseases and hunger.

At this point, the gods began to work on turning their creations into more than something to exist in harmony but rather beings capable of thought and reason which were able to make medicines to counter Death's diseases and poisons. Eventually though the gods all became angry with one another for working together to improve their creations, they began to also see how their creations destroy one another. Aether started to argue yet once more with Entropy about how their creations were content to only killing one another instead of working with each of the other god's own creations.

As the gods settled, they carved and marked out territories for themselves, giving themselves names. Eventually, all the gods decided their rightful home was on the very first planet. Time moved in to take the deserts and dunes, calling himself Chronos. Life made her home in the forests just to the east, and she named herself Gaia. To the south, Earth or Terrus, lived in the treacherous mountains, where pillars of stone rose into the sky. Across the ocean where Perchta the Water goddess laid claim, was another continent. Death, now Thanatos, reigned in the northern savannas, where nothing but dead grass and piles of rotting corpses existed. Nearby was Henku's as Entropy's woods unlike Gaia's beautiful forest, only trees with twisting mutated branches grew here. Above ground, mutants and abominations ruled while underground, demons slumbered together with spirits. Just south, the landscape became dotted with numerous volcanoes; the perfect place for Fire, named Brigid, to forge her beautiful weapons and to lead her fearsome fiery army.

At the very roof of the world, Light as Iris, and Darkness as Kage, battled. The war was long and bitter, and finally a truce was called. Iris would own the island for half a year, then Kage would take over from her. During summer, Iris would create graceful and light-endowed creatures for her army; during winter, Kage would let his vampiric creatures skittle about in the Darkness. At the opposite edge of the world, at the icy bottom of the planet, Eteru once Aether, lived. The bleak landscape, coupled with its strange shifting Air, gave Eteru the perfect place to work his magics and play with electricity and dimensions. Aeolus, the God of Air, claimed any remaining sky not clogged with creatures as his. At the center of the planet, Tezhestta decided to make her home. The Goddess of Gravity reigned in the shifting molten metal underneath miles of pressurized stone. In here was where she found materials and inspiration for many of her steely creatures.

Among the turmoil and war that spread the land, collaborations began to develop. Time and Earth, two of the original six great titans, learned that they could combine their immense power to turn a mere, weakling grub into a fierce, ruthless beast. Light and Fire learned that they could feed off of one another, creating the great human barbarian, the majestic seraph. Among each element, certain creatures under a God's power began to develop powers granted by other Gods, and so the elements grew yet stronger.

In their new territories and with their new creatures, the Gods clashed repeatedly, almost uncaring about their lesser creations. Soon, powerful entities appeared among them, the False Gods.​
