In this time, [[Yudhe]] created [[Dynara]] and [[Magnora]].

Yudhe also created a son, who would remain [[Nameless Son of Yudhe|Nameless]]. Magnora grew jealous of Her Brother and tried to consume Him, but He merely disappeared through a tear in the fabric of reality. Magnora and Dynara would later disappear through this same tear in reality, on a quest to retrieve Their Brother and reunite Him with Yudhe. | Yudhe also created a son, who would remain [[Nameless Son of Yudhe|Nameless]].

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]]. | Following the Great Silence, the Elder Gods are drawn to the First World.

The elixir is used to save [[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. | 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.

The mortals who became Vernal Gods all possessed the strength and abilities of those who passed through the [[Portal of Fate]], and these powers were only amplified by becoming Vernal Gods. In this way, the Vernal Gods were effectively more powerful than the Elder Gods before them, and so They had more success in fighting the Soulless than history had ever seen before. Because Magnora and Dynara had not returned to this reality, there was no true way for the Soulless to die; they could only be trapped, Their ability to wreak havoc delayed until They grew strong enough to break free. | The mortals who became Vernal Gods all possessed the strength and abilities of those who passed through the [[Portal of Fate]], and these powers were only amplified by becoming Vernal Gods.
