This war ends with all but two fundamental entities being destroyed and dispersed to create the fixed laws of the universe. The two entities that survive are Remmerand (Time) the oldest and only entity without a true opposite and Hela-Morg (Death) whogrew stronger as other entities were 'killed' and destruction brushed the mortal beings. many elder entities are shattered or killed in this war as well as they were arrogant enough to challenge the beings of this war.
