In the Beginning...[edit | edit source]
The Original Six* gods came to be. Whether their creation was due to the influence of the Four Dragon Gods is a mystery that the gods themselves have yet to answer definitively, if they ever will.
First among the gods were The Illuminant and The Wild Lord, although their clergy debate over which was actually first among the two, and whether such a distinction even matters. The Illuminant was born of the first light, and where there is light, there he could be found as well. The Wild Lord
Next to be born were The Forest Queen and The Tempest.
As the primal energies merged, two more Gods joined the pantheon: The Dwarf Father and Hoodwink.
Lastly, one more joined their number, as The Void took its place beside the other gods, although exactly when was hard to say. They were born when no one was watching, when none thought to remember, the shadows left behind from the other gods moved on their own. In the absence, the spaces between there was the beginning of endings, the end of beginnings. All of the shadows shifted to become rags, the rags forming into shadowed tatters, and those tatters became the avatar of Absence, the Void.

The Battle of the Gods[edit | edit source]
Shortly after the Realm's forging, the gods grew discontent with the status quo, each seeking to exert their will on new purviews, each other, and the world they had created. This battle would result in the deaths and rebirths of multiple gods over its span, but a gods death can be far less than permanent unless they themselves will it to be so.
Each fought for their own reasons: The Tempest because they loved the struggle; Hoodwink because the other gods did not appreciate their glorious gnomes nearly enough;

The World of Quelmar after the Battle[edit | edit source]
After all was said and done, and the first major battle of the gods had concluded, Quelmar was forever changed, but finally in a state that historians could recognize as they look back from the Quelmar of their era.
Quelmar, however, is an ever-changing realm, plagued with Monsters and the attention of gods both great and small. Its people remained adaptable, ready to meet the many challenges they would face. The story of Quelmar has ever remained important, as even before the invention of time-keeping by humans in 0 BR, remembering the history of the world has always been of value to its peoples.
