Socrem
Before there were man and beast the gods created Socrem to war on this event is known as the war of the gods. The war was so intense that it caused the oceans to dry up and quake the ground leaving behind great craters and fissures upon the land. The gods fought so fiercely that some created vast mountain ranges or deep chasms to protect themselves. The war raged on until there were only ten gods left leaving the skeletal remains of fallen enemy and comrade alike. Along with massive weapons and armor scattered all around the landscape.
Once the gods decided that there was enough of their blood was spilt the gods created many a beast to do their bidding. The creatures that the gods created ranged from beautiful and majestic to hideous abominations that were used in different landscapes and pitted against one an other in a bloody free for all. Without the gods waring amongst themselves the land eventually healed and there were places that the creatures would call home in the marshes, deserts, mountains, forests, hills, and grasslands that the gods would never expect their creations to find these places and naturally inhabit them.
So the gods got a brilliant idea for a experiment if the beats that they created to fight amongst themselves are living in a given habitat what if they created another type of creature one that is supposed to live in the habitat then what would happen. Each of the gods focused there power and magic to the world that they have created and forced into being new types of creatures with increased intelligence and different characteristics into the habitat to see how they coexist.
