Lore, what I have so far:

In the beginning, all energy in the universe was formed together into what's known as the Sphere of Existence and the Dark Cosmic Sphere, two massive structures that circled around each other for untold amounts of time. However, the must subtle of variations lead to the two eventually colliding, bringing about a massive burst of energy as the two were thrown into different dimensions, in the middle of them the creation of the universe, gods, and spirits.

Although the gods inherited vast powers they were not invincible, all knowing, all powerful, etc. Rather, just like us mortals they squabbled amongst each other about how to proceed from their current position. Some used their powers to achieve selfish goals, some wished to rule all gods, some wished to share their powers with others, while some just wanted to be left alone. Although most were against it, one group with multiple different motivations banded together with the joint purpose of creating life, a thriving ecosystem other then their own stagnant one. It was this endeavor that's known as the nine years of creation.

Aedea, a goddess otherwise known as Mother Earth, was the unofficial leader of this group, and through her powers much of their chosen planet was transformed from completely barren to a state of life bearing. However, she still needed the help of others to work out the more detailed aspects of their specializations, such as but not limited to water, earth, and sky. Viralith and Taohlno developed animals and plant life, respectively, through cells created by the god Plesaudus. However, Thurssius, the "breath of souls", was the only one of them who could create souls capable of true consciousness. This lead to a combined effort to create the first sentient race, the ancestors, the greatest creation of the gods.

Many of the gods who were against this project from the start went from voiced displeasure to far more stern warnings and even outright violence when they saw the ancestors come to fruition, secretly threatened by what those mere mortals could be capable of if left to develop even further. With the other side not wanting to see all of their hard work be destroyed, this lead to a rift between the gods large enough to escalate into what's known as the First Creation War or the God vs. Spirit War. The side fighting the gods needed a lot of help if they were to win, despite the aid of some gods of their own and most of the spirits.

Spirits, being souls without bodies, infused themselves with different elements through the magical elemental energy strongly present during the creation period and the war that followed. The ancestors used the elemental power of the spirits to combine with them and change their own bodies, gaining new abilities and even altering their appearances until they were no longer recognizable as an ancestor, becoming other races entirely. The two most ancient and powerful of them being the giants turned titans and the drakannians. Both of these races had the most raw power infused within them as well as elemental power, the giants only at 20 feet tall becoming titans as tall as 500 feet and the eldest, most powerful drakannians becoming equally as large. 

Their combined powers became large enough to tip the scale, saving creation from it's premature extinction as more and more gods either gave up or even outright joined the mortals and spirits. What is known as the Great Pact was signed and magically enforced through a great power beyond any individual god, preventing direct interference from the gods outside of certain approved measures. Although this stopped the gods from preventing a lot of hardships that the mortals would face along the way, it also stopped them from causing it, so it was a sacrifice that had to be made.

Things were peaceful until a power struggle between the titans and drakannians began. Now that they didn't have the gods to worry about they wanted to fill the power void for themselves. This war was even longer and more brutal then the last, reshaping the world through the collateral damage. The war ended with the ancestors and other races forcing a ceasefire, but not before the population of both sides were devastated. With the titans unable to reproduce on their own and the vast available energy present during their creation dried up, they were doomed to near extinction as only the giants who didn't turn into titans remained to reproduce. The drakannians began to grow in number again but have still never recovered completely in population and didn't achieve their power status despite eliminating their titan rivals. In the end, this means that both sides lost horribly. 

Most of the races around at first either died out or changed some more so no longer exist in the state they had been during ancient times. As more and more showed up and managed to stay for longer periods of time, not shifting in powers and abilities such much as the spirits are loosing power to do so, various nations began to also come about rather then the one world government they had set up since the beginning of their creation. The ancestors have spread out to become many different races so very few still exist as they had those many years ago, their continued existence a supposed myth. The most numerous race by far is the ivi, a race comprised of traits of elves, humans, and dwarves, as slangs are sometimes used to describe those who fit more into one of those categories, yet they are still technically ivi, just a diverse group of people.
