Silence. The absence of time and space. And, suddenly, in that non-place, the essence of another creation that had reached its end pours forth. For such is the cycle of all that exists: nothing is created, nothing is lost, everything is transformed. And the incalculable amount of matter, energy and spacetime that had collapsed fertilized the garden of nothingness. And from the barren vastness, an absolute entity germinated: Unos, the firstborn of creation. With the advent of his birth and the forming of his consciousness, he perceived himself as a terrible contrast: he existed, but nothing else did. Filled with an infinite solitude, he felt within himself the uncontrollable need to expand into more. More than one, more than the void. He then emanated every drop of his vital force in all directions, in an explosion that unfolded into time, space, matter and energy once more. Yet these elements now served Unos' final wish: “I cease to be one to become all!” His physical form, drained of all life, petrified. In what is today the center of the universe lies the corpse of Unos, a statuesque colossus of the one who sacrificed himself so that creation could exist once more. His archdivine essence fragmented into six divine sparks: Zalthor, Thyros, Vazrath, Azaryel and Yero — the Primeval Gods. The sixth spark did not germinate and exists as an essence of pure divine potential in an unknown location. • Zalthor, the God of the creation of the world of Valorian, and Thyros, his twin brother, created humanity and the animals that dwell within it. • Vazrath, lord of logic, scribe of the invisible laws that govern the cosmos. • Azaryel, master of the monsters and beings of the invisible world, populated the world's secret recesses with supernatural beings, so that mortals would learn to fear the hidden and the unknown. • Yero, at last, was the Ancestral Guardian, defender of mortals and absolute lord of humanity's fate. For ages, the five gods walked in harmony, and their creation vibrated in balance.
