In time unknown there was only the brothers: Frifth and Inle. The pair frolicked. Frifth first sung The Material into existence, his joy too great to be contained. The brothers reveled at The Material, at the miracle of their creation. They sung once more, their voices joined in a harmony so pure, so sacred, that it craved to be sung by new voices. Frifth and Inle united to create new life, new singers for their chorus. They gave this new life their creation. It was their will that their children would live fruitfully and peaceably, creating new music to joy in.  Their desires were not to be.   Isolated in their paradise Maali, Frifth and Inle were ignorant of the Void that surrounded them. They did not know their creation had violated the nothing that was beyond Maali. The Material was an aberration to the Void. In its passionless recoil, the Void sought to reassert its blessed stillness.   This era of destruction is known as The Consumption. Heroes rose to fight the new terrors from a realm beyond comprehension. They fell. Civilizations of unrivaled grandeur had their bright flames extinguished in the blink of an eye. The Races of Maythennion banded together their armies only to see them break against The Voids inexorable Consumption. They cried out in a single voice of desperation to Frifth for salvation. Inle answered.   Leaving the heavens Inle stood along side mortals on The Material to face The Void. Flanked by his most devoted worshipers Inle rushed into the heart of the blackness which destroyed all. It surged around him, smothered his face, crushed his bones, rent his flesh. Like so many before him, it extinguished his light. However, Inle remained. Within the Void, but apart from it.    With this new power Inle destroyed The Void's horde. Scattering it beyond The Material and restoring existence long thought forever lost. The Material had been delivered by the death of a God.   Lost in grief for his brother Frifth knew not what to do, but Inle saw the answer. The pair would rule over the Material as they always had. Only now, Frifth alone would give radiance and warmth, while Inle would be a bulwark against The Void and give rest to those who needed it. Thus the world has continued ever since.
