The Primordials attempt to create other living, thinking beings like themselves. Most are massively powerful, egotistical beings with little to drive and motivate them than base urges and instinct. These failed creations of the Primordials are placed into The Underworld, a pocket dimension created by Foret.
Pande creates the world named after her, including all living creatures, eventually leading to humans. Due to the unique effects human belief has on the gods, they congregate around this world and all make attempts to influence its inhabitants.
The Primae are created by the Primordials, who then leave the material plane and return to the Aether.
Goiti from Ryla
Mafe and Lalu from Baaku
Riego and Nucio from Weilu
Liete, Siba, Moibe and Tuko from Pande
Nexi and Saudo from Jonu
Guta from Caifa
With the Primordials gone from the material planes, the Primae are the most powerful beings in existence.
Birth of the Secundae;
Diyoth from Goiti and Mafe
Myin and Moibus, twins, from Lalu and Riego
Citiss, Sezend, Cosor, Rhaxet and Dayfod from Liete and Siba
Lykith from Moibe and Tuko
Diyoth, Myin and Moibus, as the only offspring of the Order family, gain the epithet, 'The Lords of Order'.
Turbal, the final child of Liete and Siba, is born some time after his siblings
Some of the Failed escape from the Underworld and wreak havoc across large parts of the universe before finally being contained once more. In response, Doyom and her uncle, Moibus, have a child, Sis'retyr. He is granted great power and becomes the Gatekeeper of the Underworld and tasked with containing the Failed. He is ultimately successful in this charge.
Guta creates Tistal via parthenogenesis, a feat thought impossible for Primae. The child has strange prophetic abilities and is shunned by most of the other gods.
To contain and use the souls of dying mortals, three afterlives are created, and the Secundae children of Diyoth and Myin are assigned to keeping them.
Lysek receives those souls destined for eternal reward
Niynar receives those souls destined for eternal punishment
Doymor for the majority who will simply exist for eternity
These three gods eventually become known as the Keepers of the Dead
Shunned by most of the other gods for constantly creating conflict, Nexi's obsession over Tuko finally comes to a head, and he attacks and gets her pregnant. She secretly carries to term, birthing three children. Nexi learns of the birth and claims them as his own. The three, Nexaki, Nexfito and Nexura are collectively known as the Triplets of Strife.
Conspiring with the Triplets of Strife (and undoubtedly with full consent from Nexi), Turbal convinces Sis'retyr that the Primae are undeserving and uses trickery to imprison them in the Underworld, leaving only Nexi free. Turbal and his siblings then take control of Pande's world and its mortal inhabitants. Humanity is kept in a primitive yet idyllic state, with the gods walking amongst them and ensuring the world is peaceful. Giant stone monuments arise as worship to the gods, and vast swathes of land are given over to praise and prayer.
Citiss and Sezend have three children who display a strong connection to the physical world. As a reward for helping in the Usurpation, Turbal grants the three stewardship over the world, under his command.
Taneb becomes steward of the sea
Mesoh becomes steward of the earth
Dicac becomes steward of the air
Turbal and his cousin Lykith have six children, Yaltur, Seidhur, Zedtur, Lortur, Thuktur and Raeltur. Tistal, now known as The Tellar, prophesises that the children of Turbal will one day overthrow their father. In fear, Turbal takes his children and places them, asleep, under the watch of Doyom in his limbo afterlife.
Rhaxet, sister to Turbal seduces him, conceives and gives birth to twins, Sanul and Hikis. Aware of their potential fate, she conceals them from their father. Once grown, Sanul accepts a plan to portray him as a child of Citiss and Rhaxet, but Hikis refuses and she remains hidden.
Sanul and Dicac, one of Citiss and Sezends real children, fall in love and have a child called Leris. His power over the weather is unparalleled, and he becomes widely known as The Stormlord.
Hikis journeys across the universe and appeals directly to Pande, the Primordial, for the release of her half-siblings in Limbo. Pande takes pity on her great-grandchild, but will not physically intervene in events on the material plane. Unable to convince the stolid and duty bound Doyom, instead Pande appeals to Sis'retyr for the release of the Primae. Sis'retyr is moved, but only to the extent that he will release one, assuming it will be one of Pande's own children. Instead, Pande requests Nexi's twin sister, Saudo. Once released, Saudo travels to Limbo, and being vastly more powerful than Doyom, forces the release of the Children of Turbal.
The Inheritance War, a conflict that spreads across most of the world erupts in earnest. Humanity is caught in the middle, with both sides using large armies in an attempt to destroy the faith base of their opponents. The once peaceful and civilised lands become a neolithic warzone. New technologies of metal working, animal breeding and engineering rapidly accelerate humanity's abilities to wage war.
The first part of the war goes badly for the Children Of Turbal, with Turbal and his siblings able to draw upon far greater numbers of humans for both military actions and as a source of power. Hikis' brother, Sanul, convinces his wife and her brothers, the Mighty Three, to switch sides and fight against Turbal. Despite this, the Usurpers are still too powerful. Saudo, initially reluctant to excise her full power, realises Nexi and his children are affecting great damage to Turbal's enemies, so enters the fray directly. Confronting her twin brother and the Triplets of Strife she is able to mitigate their malign influence, and the Children of Turbal begin to turn the tide.
Turbal and his siblings are forced back into their citadel and remain untouchable, yet still able to cause great devastation. In a final gambit, Saudo leaves her struggle with Nexi and travels to the Underworld. There she convinces Sis'retyr of Nexi's duplicity and the Gatekeeper relents, releasing the Primae from their prison. The Primae smash open Turbal's Citadel with wrathful ease, and capture the Usurpers, sending them into the Underworld in return. Nexi and his children escape and remain at large. After seeing the destruction wrought on the world, the Primae decide to leave the physical plane and join their parents in The Aether.
With Nexi and the Triplets of Strife remaining free, Saudo and Nuico, a child of Weilu, have a single child, whom they name Zal'jon-weil, The Peacekeeper, whose combined aspect of Law and Strife can prevent the gods from enacting their wills with such force upon the physical world any more.
The children of Turbal, now called the Inheritance Gods, along with the Lords of Order (the Secundae children of the Primae of Order) and representatives of humanity meet to decide the future of the world. The gods agree to leave humanity to its own affairs, so long as the appropriate devotions are maintained. As Yaltur put it "the gods require humanity's worship, but humanity desires the gods". As a gift to their loyal followers, the Inheritor Gods move them to the area around the Belyos Sea as a new home, away from the devastation of the lands they once inhabited. The Empire Of Belyos is founded, with Yaltur's and his new wife Hikis' blessing upon the first Emperor Jamal Hudor.
The City of Belyos is founded, along with all the other major cities of the Empire, by the loyal survivors of the Inheritance War in a final act of power by the Inheritance Gods. The First Emperor, Jamal Hudor, Hero of the Inheritance Wars, take his place on the High Throne, appointing his six closest companions as Princes of the Empire, each one taking their own principality and founding their own noble house.
