Though it is beyond the comprehension of most mortals, what is known is that the gods created the Divine Light as a weapon to use against a threat beyond the mortal worlds.
The gods had supposedly defeated the elder evil that threatened them, but the Divine Light had grown immensely powerful. It turned on its creators and destroyed them, taking their places.
