Years of Creation

Roughly 4 Billion years ago
The first natural born sentient beings coalesed. Known as the Heresh Sadhyad, they begin to set the universe in order, creating the various planes and base forms of matter.

They begin to populate the cosmos with parody creatures from other dimenions, such as Aboleths. These creatures are too wild and chaotic, so the Heresh Sadhyad create more controllable counterparts, which become the Gods.

The Aboleths, challenged in their authority and control of existence, open a portal to the Far Realm. The energies cause widespread chaos.

The Aboleths, for their crimes, are locked away in a demiplane. Without their presence, the Gods grow jealous of the power of the Heresh Sadhyad and rebel. Most of the Heresh Sadhyad are destroyed and then the Gods turn on one another.

The few Heresh Sadhyad, in an attempt to stave off complete destruction, institute a contest among the Gods - they are challenged to create life.
