"Born from starlight, bathed in blood."
The gods of this world are not mere creators—they are conquerors. Known collectively as the Aetherion Pantheon, they are celestial beings that once ruled the heavens beyond the stars. Their arrival in the mortal realm marked the beginning of the Divine Era, and the end of countless primordial races—chief among them, the Leviathans.
Origin of the GodsAccording to the oldest surviving myth fragments—often whispered in forbidden cults and sunken temples—the gods were not born here. They invaded this world after tearing through the fabric of reality, fleeing a war in their own plane known only as The Sundering of Aeons.
Upon their arrival, they encountered resistance: the ancient, native titans of the world, including the Leviathans, Wyrm Kings, and the Abyssal Thrones. The gods offered pacts of unity. When refused, they brought war.
