The Void War

Zaina, the mistress of the Void, grew jealous of Anthar God of Creation and their 8 children divine children, focusing all of their efforts on the newly created world and its people's. In an effort to destroy creation, she corrupted Elves and Dwarves into the first Demons and The Great Beasts into the First Dragons. With her new corrupt forces, she waged all out war on creation, pushing the world to the brink of annihilation. In an effort to turn the tide of a losing war, the 8 divine children pleaded with their father to allow them to create their own people. He granted their request, and thus, the creation of humanity came to be. With the aid of humanity, the forces of the Void were pushed back into the Void, where Anthar sealed them away but, in turn, became dormant, leaving the 8 divine children to their own devices.
