The Kidnapping of Zelya
Once night was dark, except for the stars and all saw Scirri. Yet when Zelya came to be she become ever more jealous of the attention she received from the Gods. When Zelya then created the moon she started to dominate the night as well, pulling the eyes of all mortals.
In those days Zelya was in a relationship with Kruzec and Scirri coveted him. Scirri disguised herself as Kruzec and lured Zelya into a trap, locking her away out of sight and mind. Taking on Zelya's appearance she wed Kruzec and lived in Zelya's shoes until Alric saw through her disguise. Furious he tried to strike her down but was stopped by Kruzec who would not see the mother of his child harmed.
Zelya was eventually freed with the aid of Kovan who slew scores of monsters and cleared a path towards Zelya's guarded prison. There he awoke Zelya from her slumber and ever since they have been in love.
For daring to lay a hand upon his family Zargov retaliated against his nemesis Alric by slaying and kidnapping his servants and archpriests. As such starting the last God War. When Alric's army fought towards the Gates of the Underworld Zargov used the absence of light to blanket the world in an Age of Ice and held the world hostage until Alric Relented.
The Titan War
The Titans, the demigod creations of the Gods had long grown jealous of their creators, with the Gods weakened after the last Godwars they took their chance to claim the full power of the Gods. During the conflict the Gods faltered, yet an unlikely alliance between all Gods managed to drive back the Titans.
The cost was great, the world had become a ruined battleground and a handful of Titans were reborn in the Abyss as Demonlords. In order to prevent further harm towards the world the remaining Gods wove a veil across the World to protect it from all planar influence after repairing what damage they could. Ever since they took their fight to the hearts of mortals and have rebuild their strength while the two families are at a cold war. As a token of peace Zelya agreed to the creation of the lunar phases instead of dominating every night under the full moon so that both her and Scirri could share the night.
