The Gods created the world, seeded it with life and created mighty Titans to help them in their duties. Up until 5 centuries ago they walked the world and interacted with mortals in a physical and spiritual fashion. However they also frequently got into conflict with one another, resulting in catastrophic destruction. After a particular catastrophic war among them and their Titan creations they retreated from the world. To protect it from further Divine and Planar intrusions they wove the Worldveil, preventing them from physically entering the world. Ever since, they took their divine conflicts to the hearts and minds of the mortal populace tasked with rebuilding the world.
