Pure chaos as in wyld and there was nothing else. Everything what was sentient in there lived on whimsical thoughts, emotions, sailing in storm with no goal nor port to go to. Just enjoy the storm going on.<br/><br/>However handful of those chaos storm riders then banded together and started commune to each other, share ideas and thoughts and they by miracle came to same conclusion; they desired their own sandbox which they can create and build on their own whims without others in the chaos interfering on their work. But to do so they have to become both great and less what they were now and they agreed become flawed beings able to create something what did not exist before in the chaos; stability, beacon, a port in great chaos. That is birth of the Creation.<br/><br/>Now these beings are simply called Titans, or Primordials. You may had heard references to this in various forms but presently best known is Gaia and her elemental dragons, Gaia being one the titans and primordial responsible for creating life itself. However not all titans were benevolent like Gaia and thus world lived in whims of these titanic beings which could erase creation just sweep of their hand and re-create it anew. Exact reason for this is not know by mortals nor even by most gods, but speculation lays in one their greater divine works known as<em>Games of Divinity</em>which they all played with severe addiction and it's related to existence of Creation.<br/><br/>However running creation is hard work so they created servitor race for themselves help run things in Creation; so thus were born first gods. Even today gods are tied to specific elements and events in Creation and there exist god on everything; from a tree to trees to single leaf. Lesser gods are so small and minor that they hold no power in themselves nor commune much, but even single leaf holds a god who is responsible for that leaf; to make sure when leaf tears off from the tree it acts and behaves all ways like regular leaf. Keep things smooth so leaf does not suddenly decide it will not fall on ground and instead float upwards to sky in infinity example.<br/><br/>But not all gods were not content with as things were so nor were primordials. One god peculiar disliked existence and present function in titans ruling everything and that was Sol Invictus, greatest of all gods, perhaps even greater in power than primordials themselves but powerless to able to act at all against primordials. He communed with Luna, moon goddess, his feelings and desire for freedom from the tyranny of the titans. One primordial, Autochton, overheard them. Autochton was only titan who never created his own race, but rather created tools, concepts, science, devotion, passion, duty and invention. Very things what humans embraced and used and thus pleased Autochton but none other primordials ever appreciated these things, only appreciate the divine works which he build. Games of Divinity example are one his works as was creation of the sun but that is long tale on itself to share how it came to be.<br/><br/>More so that mortal humans were most vulnerable to be destroyed and controlled by anything else in creation he wished them to have chance to prosper. Humans were created for one purpose only; fuel essence onto Creation. Their prayers, dreams, emotions and their souls; they all generated essence which was harvested then through prayer or live human sacrifices and prayers fed the gods who ran Creation and extend gave through gods onto titans more essence to work with.<br/><br/>Autochton then talked to Sol Invictus and Luna a method how gods, incarna, can strike against primordials as their powers held potential defeat them but they could not use their own power against them. Autochton thus created shards of power which contained piece of patron god's power. Incarna were most mighty and could split pieces of their own power, a mere seed, into shards and said shards will be given to humans, weakest of all races, to grant them power of the most powerful of gods and let it grow inside them individually. Gods had no control how seeds grew or how the powers were used, as for sure if they had placed any control over to mortals who wielded said powers then titans would had simply commanded them to stop mortals advance and battles against the titans.<br/><br/>That's not all what happened; Autochton gave knowledge, tools, weapons and armor to the chosen. Made from materials best attuned to each god's portfolio. Gaia, who had been seduced by Luna contributed as well as second primordial for this war as Gaia had grown tired watching titans kill her creations over and over again whenever world was reset to square zero to start over. Gaia's gift was in blood of the dragons, blood of her dearest children, given to mortals and give ultimate self-replenishing foot soldiers for the chosen to use in coming war.<br/><br/>Besides Sol Invictus and Luna there was also Five Maidens who created chosen, but compared to five hundred Sol's chosen and Luna's champions the Five Maidens only got hundred. But those hundred were most influential pieces as Five Maidens introduced their chosen into realm of the titans; Yu-Shan, far before champions of Sol or Luna made their first offensive move. These hundred worked under titans noses, spying them, studying them, learn their weaknesses and learn how manipulate Creation and know how push and create events which would favor the moves done in the war.<br/><br/>Once war started, not even today incarna nor oldest of gods know certain how long it lasted. To some it lasted just a day, but others it lasted aeons or a year. When you battle against creators of your world, sense of time ceases to be and even time itself could be your enemy. But in end god's champions won, titans surrendered but then gods demanded the champions to do more; they<em>mutilated</em>all titans, pervert their concepts, names and break them down so they no longer can be called titans but entirely else; Yozis. They were broken so they could be imprisoned all eternity in alternative reality build from very mutilated corpses of the creators of the world, so the era of gods and god's champions can begin.<br/><br/>This is how era known as First Age began. In this era, tale of your predecessors, people whose shards you hold, both begun and end."<br/><br/>At this point many of the listeners had felt a glimmer here and there during the tale, deep presence in their minds, awoken memory, from ancient past events, mostly from battle or war or other grand tragedy or simply facing creature far beyond comprehension of mortals. Titanic powerful beings which encompass creation's laws like literature, poetry, music, bleeding, blood or anything related to it. It was not battle against enormous sized beings; but beings which made Creation as it was and never cannot be again because their absence. Deep sorrow, dread yet sense of immense triumph overcoming such obstacles for true freedom for mortals with immense cost. Forgotten things which nobody remembers or even knows how it was before it was destroyed forever.<br/><br/>The tale is interrupted when a pretty waitress (https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0274/57/1380436832093.jpg) brought everyone wine/ale or whatever they preferred to drink along with finger snacks filled bowl with smile. Maestro smiled on her and with subtle gesture with hand told her go along and thanked with whisper on her ear before maestro took delicate sip from wine glass as maestro continued; "Now this point the big spoiler is that you all are god's champions belonging so solar caste, Sol Invictus champions. They were greatest champions of gods, like their patron they are mighty and have power to overcome any obstacle in their way. That's simply how their powers work, but naturally from get go your not all mighty like Sol is but you have potential to grow to such heights.....even potentially surpass Sol, that's not impossible in theory considering basic concept of Sol's power when given on question.<br/><br/>In present times your kind are called Anathema, according Immaculate Texts which spill any contradictory knowledge as heresy. When in truth the entire scripture of Immaculate faith is hand writing of one god's chosen, a centuries supported propaganda meant to bury the ancient truth and history under carpet called lie. Now before I dwell into the First Age and more about your origins of your predecessors or how your friendship was formed, plus my own role in entire affair, got anything to ask about time before First Age or about the primordials, titans or yozis? Or about other chosen besides Sol Invictus?"
