As per request, here's what I had in mind for a story:
A long time ago, before history was recorded in scrolls and books, There had been two entities that inhabited the world. Two creators. Two destroyers. Together, they brought life and power into the world, filling it with creatures of varying appearances and abilities. The two entities watched as their creations grew across the ages.
For a while, all was fine. Then their creations discovered conflict. Though the entities had ignored the impact of their creations' first argument, they watched as it grew into the first war. The two entities, apalled at what had come to pass, sought to end it. Unfortunately, the two of them had found themselves diaagreeing with one another in how the situation should be dealt with. One felt that their creations should be allowed to see their war through to the end, and learn from their mistakes. The other felt that they should wipe clean the slate, and start anew.
The entities came to a heated argument, which resulted in one of them deciding to force their plan into action. The angered Entity took up a physical form, and created monsters that would enact his plan to wipe clean the slate. Fearing for the lives of their creations, the kind Entity created her own creatures to counter these monsters. The battle between the two forces lasted ages, but eventually ended with the violent entity's defeat. He and his monsters were sealed away, so they would not make another attempt to ddestroy all that was created.
The kind entity was saddened by what she had to do to her companion, and hoped that her decision was a wise one. Unfortunately, when she returned her focus to their creations, ahe had found that nations were formed, conflict had become a part of their lives permanently. Though there was still some goodness within the hearts of their creations, the kind entity fell to despair, and her presence began to fragment and scatter across the world. Before her presence completely scattered, the kind entity created gids and deities to watch over her creations, and hopefully bring them back to their original peaceful selves.
The gods and deities would fail in this, and fall to conflict as well.
Now we turn to the Present times. Though most nations have found themselves in times of peace, conflict is still present, and some are at war. A cult that worships the violent entity has arisen, and plan to release him and his monsters once more. Fate, however, has other plans, as several individuals gather at a festival, not knowing that they're about to go onto the adventure, the likes of which they would never expect.
