The Age before Ages

In the beginning...

The earliest era of the multiverse, when forces of Law battled primal Chaos. The Age before Ages is broken down into 3 sub-eras:

The First Age

The multiverse came into being and beings of law and chaos, good and evil warred for millions of years.

The Second Age

The Material Plane was formed and the first gods came into being.

The Third Age

The aquatic aboleth race was created by divine accident, the aboleth went on to master magic and create many creatures including the first humanoids. This Age culminated in a massive battle between Law and Chaos, crippling the ancient powers.

 

The Age before Ages concluded at the Battle of Pesh, a colossal battle between law and chaos. On the side of Law were the Wind Dukes of Aaqa, an air elemental race whose empire spanned many worlds, while Chaos included demons and evil elder elementals led by an obyrith called the Queen of Chaos. The result was a stalemate: the Wind Dukes destroyed or banished the most powerful demons, but lost too many of their number to continue the battle of law against chaos.
