The Daevas were thus those gods who were agents of the unrecognizable mortal plane and ruled over it before modernity, being able to manipulate the energies of their environments in order to bring about the progression and change which would eventually instigate the formation of our beginnings, our people lacking the unadulterated power and divinity of those which ruled. The magistrates which the Daevas were adherents of granted order throughout our world, and saw the proliferation of many essences and citadels which were all born of the light, each belonging to one of the seven worlds of before modernity. The immortal Daevas were counted among those ranks and leagues of the profuse and sundry powers of the vast and incomprehensible light, at this time having manipulated their own souls to trap the light of the heavens within themselves in order to ensure their immortality and preservation as beings of both the spirit and the corporeal. These Daevas of augmented ability ruled from their towers and fortresses, supplanting themselves into the primeval world and living in an era of certain paradisal wisdom and harmony with the light which had overtaken all that was at the behest of this omnipotent force that was the light.\\ | The Daevas were thus those gods who were agents of the unrecognizable mortal plane and ruled over it before modernity, being able to manipulate the energies of their environments in order to bring about the progression and change which would eventually instigate the formation of our beginnings, our people lacking the unadulterated power and divinity of those which ruled.

Upon the introduction of the darkness to the forefront of this primeval world which predated the shaping of our people, there came to be a scarcity of the pure energies of unbound mana which would eventually precipitate the hurried conclusions of the divine powers as they saw their rule come to an end as a result of the accursed darkness. As such, the divine powers which were the Daevas were then forced to abandon the worlds and creations which would become us and, in doing so, would bring about the production of our ancestors from the waning light, at the cost of our ancestors’ souls being conjoined with the darkness and thus, being mortal. And so, it came to pass that the Daevas would be acknowledged as our creators, and that they were the divines to be worshipped and acknowledged throughout the land of that which we would call our home, and that their actions led to the creation of mortality and mortal life.\\ | Upon the introduction of the darkness to the forefront of this primeval world which predated the shaping of our people, there came to be a scarcity of the pure energies of unbound mana which would eventually precipitate the hurried conclusions of the divine powers as they saw their rule come to an end as a result of the accursed darkness.

- | In the scarcity which was felt throughout all lands and worlds, the Daevas fled and became absent from the affairs of humanity, longing to preserve the power they once held as the rulers of the unbridled mana and light and, as such, conglomerating to found the mythological realm which retained the gifts of the light, projecting walls of the purest white in order to cast out the darkness from their courts and halls and thus, retaining the gift of immortality while still being bound to the worlds which they had ruled over. This would signify the end of the Arenic Age, an age in which mortality was unknown and shape was ephemeral and fleeting, thus introducing the existence of the mortal plane which was that same plane of certain mundanity which was far removed from the original powers of the Daevas, and which attracted the attention of those powers which did not belong to simply the Daevas. Now, we acknowledge also the existence and divinities of the [[pantheons: | + | In the scarcity which was felt throughout all lands and worlds, the Daevas fled and became absent from the affairs of humanity, longing to preserve the power they once held as the rulers of the unbridled mana and light and, as such, conglomerating to found the mythological realm which retained the gifts of the light, projecting walls of the purest white in order to cast out the darkness from their courts and halls and thus, retaining the gift of immortality while still being bound to the worlds which they had ruled over.
