In the days of old, when the world was still young and the heavens and earth were newly forged, a great war of cosmic proportions erupted between the gods and demons, shaping the destiny of a fledgling realm.

Long before mortals roamed the lands, the gods and demons ruled over separate domains. The gods, emanations of pure light and goodness, resided in the celestial realm of Elysium, while the demons, embodiments of darkness and chaos, dwelled in the fiery abyss known as the Netherrealms. These two opposing forces coexisted uneasily, wary of each other's power and influence.

Yet, harmony was shattered when a great upheaval occurred within the Netherrealms. The demon lord, Vargoth, sought to expand his dominion and plunge the world into eternal darkness.

World Creation

Millenia ago, as the universe formed and the raw energy of creation began forming the material plane and Velandor.

These nine rulers came together and formed a council to rule and encourage growth across Velandor working collaboratively in the worlds best interests.

In the 27th year of this council the world itself was struck by a meteor which was brought before the council for inspection as they discussed the threat of this happening again. During their discussions and planning a reaction from the meteor was triggered and each of the members of the council took on a portion of the meteor's power. They discovered that the meteor was a mass of raw creation remaining from the formation of the world. The council members had now been infused with the divine power of creation and became the first pantheon of gods in Velandor.
