Untold eons ago, the universe was created by a force even the old gods do not know. When the universe was new, there was merely an empty existence. But in it slumbered the old gods - titans of terrible power, together personifying all the power in the universe. First of them awoke the Forgotten, who has toiled in the universe before even the other gods rose. It is rumored that it was him who filled the universe with stars and their light.

The light woke the other gods, and of them, Hiraga was not satisfied with the universe, so she created the basis of what would become her residence, that which is called the World.

And so, upon this barren companion of a star, she sought to create something to her liking, to fill the void in her heart with anything else than her brothers' voices. She created dragons, and gave them the power to help her shape her new world to their own liking, and marvelled as they created the lands, oceans and skies, and warmed the World up so that plants and animals could come to life.

One of Hiraga’s brothers, Damaesk, saw the beauty of the new world, and decided to come there and took it in. But to him, it felt imperfect. Things, even the living beings, just were, existed, unchanging, without purpose. Even his sister’s companions now lay still, resting after their grand work was complete. And so, within the deeps of Iron mountains, he made companions of his own, who would help him shape the components of the World and give them purpose.

Then came the third brother, Werwirren, and jealous of the world’s beauty, sought to take it for himself. With a mighty bellow he thrown his spear into the land, breaching its crust and unleashing the magic that lay dormant within its core. Of the magic, another race was born, not created by the gods, but happening on chance. The third brother whispered in the ears of the chiefs among them, to rise and take their place in the world that belonged to Dragons and Dwarves.

The battles lasted long years, until the newborns cast a terrible spell that turned a fifth of the dragon kind into black dragons. Repulsed by what they have done, a majority of the newcomers vowed to never use such spells again, and left the war for the dragon homeland, to start undoing their mistake, eventually becoming Fairies. The remaining core of the warriors was forced to seek shelter in the Abyss and empower themselves with it's magic to survive, becoming today's demons.

Not long after came Hiraga’s youngest brother, Epistemus, intrigued by what he has seen from afar and yearning to see more. But the world was largely void of smart creatures after the many deaths of the Divine war. So he created the young races and loosed them on the world to fill that void.

As the world recovered, and the vigilant Hiraga fell to slumber, the Elves set their eyes on Altheim, wishing to be closer to their gods, and created the kingdoms of Solaris, Velaris, Unaris and Saros. But the humans, haunted by the inhospitality of their home, came from the sea like a tidal wave of determination, and conquered Unaris and Saros kingdoms before they were stopped at the Volen river by the two remaining elven tribes who armed themselves with dwarven weapons.

Since then, the world has stabilised and the old wounds have scabbed over, leaving all the talk of war to drunkards in pubs and nobles stewing in their private chambers, with the exception of demons who are still attempting to rule the world, albeit they have switched to the political arena. The era of peace ushered in an age of discovery, where wizards and alchemists alike unlock one of nature's secrets after another. But with all the new things comes hunger for more, and some things are better left undiscovered.
