Following the Great Silence, the Elder Gods are drawn to the First World. They organized Themselves into Circles based upon their innate abilities and predilections, and are led by the [[:Category:First Circle of the Divine|First Circle]], known as the Leaders and Mediators. The Gods began to populate Lusternia with life, a process spearheaded by the Circles of [[:Category:Sixth Circle of the Divine|Awakeners]] and [[:Category:Seventh Circle of the Divine|Creators]]. | |||
Their reign over Lusternia is thrown into chaos when the [[:Category:Soulless Gods|Heralds of Magnora]], later known as the Soulless Gods, began to move through [[the Void]] on a journey to consume the First World. A diplomatic envoy of Gods met the Soulless in the Void but were attacked, leaving the surviving Gods to prepare for war. | |||
Victory over the Soulless appeared to be impossible, until several members of the [[:Category:Fifth Circle of the Divine|Fifth Circle]], the Thinkers, develop a way to use the essence of the Soulless to return from death. The elixir is used to save [[Orlachmar|Orlachmar's]] life, but ultimately resulted in Him becoming undead, driven by the same internal hunger for divine essence that plagues the Soulless. The Gods convened and banned the use of the elixir, but [[Fain]] and eleven other Gods secretly use the elixir on Themselves, turning the tide of war in the Gods' favor. | |||
The [[Twelve Traitors]] are eventually discovered and exiled to the Void, and without a clear way to defeat the Soulless, the remaining Gods decided to escape into the Void on a search to recover Dynara and Magnora from wherever They disappeared to. A last-minute attack by the Soulless resulted in a handful of Gods being trapped in Lusternia, and over the course of thousands of years, those Gods splintered into the mortal races of Lusternia. | |||
Mortals began to populate the First World, but were still ravaged frequently by the Soulless. [[Meridian]] is the last surviving Elder to splinter, and with that, the Elder Wars come to an end, with the Soulless still remaining a constant threat. | |||
