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 [[First Circle]], known as the Leaders and Mediators. The Gods began to populate Lusternia with life, a process spearheaded by the Circles of [[Sixth Circle|Awakeners]] and [[Seventh Circle|Creators]]. | Following the Great Silence, the Elder Gods are drawn to the First World.

A diplomatic envoy of Elder Gods met the Soulless in the Void but were entirely devoured, leaving the surviving Elder Gods to prepare for war. | ||
The Elders won a pyrrhic victory against the Soulless by enacting the [[Daath Sequence]], a fearsome ritual capable of destroying an entire [[Cosmic Plane]]. Alas, without Magnora's presence, the Soulless Gods couldn't be truly destroyed and soon reformed, made stronger after consuming those slain on the battlefield. | |||
The [[ | Several members of the [[Fifth Circle]], the Thinkers, developed [[Fain's Elixir|an Elixir from Soulless essence]]. The elixir reanimated the mortally-wounded [[Orlachmar]], becoming the first [[undead]], subject to a similar hunger for divine essence that the Soulless exhibit. After the second use of the Elixir to restore the [[Sun Spirit]] drove the spirit to violent madness, the Gods convened and banned the use of the Elixir. However, [[Fain]] and eleven other Gods secretly continued to manufacture and use the Elixir on themselves, which helped turn the tide of several battles. | ||

When the Soulless breached the [[Domothean Spires]], the remaining Gods decided to escape into the Void as well in search of Dynara and Magnora. A last-minute attack by the Soulless resulted in a handful of Gods being stranded 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. [[Xyl]] constructed the [[Portal of Fate]] according to [[the Fates]]' instructions and mortals pass through it to become forever changed. [[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. | |||
