The First War

After the Brothers, Isarus and Havoc created the races and sentience alike, they were joined by other deities, those individuals who the people deemed worthy of praise. These individuals ascended to godhood, and joined the brothers in the Pantheon of Glainia. After years of peace, they fell into war, due to their opposing outlooks on life and free choice.
Dark Covenant:
  • Havoc
  • Hela
  • Oxeus
  • Balous
  • Ziphion
  • Atris
  The gods of the Dark Covenant were creating undead, abyssal and all manner of magically infused beasts. The Dark Covenant had deemed it necessary to meddle in the affairs of mortals, seeing them as play things, rather than sentient creations.
 
The other 6 Gods, later known as the
Light Bearers:
  • Isarus
  • Temus
  • Eione
  • Fala
  • Majere
  • Edohr

  Felt that this was not the way to rule, and decided it was time to force the Dark Covenant into submission.   And so an almighty battle was launched, stretching over an unknown amount of time. Some say the battle raged for close to a millennia, while others claim the battle only took place in mere weeks.   The Light Bearers chose champions and fighters. The best individuals of all the races, imbuing them with power and granting them magnificent weapons and equipment. They fought the war on behalf of the Light Bringers, with only small influence and interference from the Gods themselves.   The Dark Covenant chose to create foul and disgusting beasts rather than helping the mortals. The Covenant created the best and blood thirstiest warriors from their chosen champions, mixing the blood of their warriors with the blood and essence of other beasts. It is rumoured that the Covenant would deceive and trick champions of the Light Bearers to the ways of the Covenant.   The First War ended when the Light Bearers had had enough, and decided to intervene directly into the matters of mere mortals. The great clash that followed completely up ended the world, changing the landscape and world immensely. Some say that the Land became Ocean, and Ocean became Land. The earth tore, and bled. Rocks and Trees alike, screamed for salvation from the power that was wrought.   The battle finally ended when the Light Bearers and their champions, having overthrown the Dark Covenant, managed to imprison Havoc, the Leader of the Dark Covenant, deep down in the belly and shadows of the Underdark, chained and sealed away, guarded and doomed for all eternity.   This battle, with power abundant in the atmosphere, created the Mistress of Magic, Goddess of Arcane Energy, Ava, which grants the power for magic and energy to both the Good and Evil domains.   Thereafter the Gods split into their domains as we know them today, 4 Gods deciding to fall under Ava, swearing to never upend the balance again. Isarus, the Great Light Lord, took a near fatal blow during the Final Clash, and was never seen again. Some say he died, while others claim he had forsaken the world, devastated by the death and destruction that it could yield, moving away from this place to a place of Sanctuary. Others believe he had retreated, believing that Gods should never interfere with mortals ever again.
