Several thousands of years ago, for unknown reasons, the Gods fled their home and came to Takairim. Their journey left them tired, but they found the energy to create the first of civilisation. Over the next 10,000 years, the gods would fight primordials and each other, in the hope of protecting their mortal children. No one knows why The Dread Lords betrayed The Celestial Court, though there are many theories.
Each of The Celestial court is opposed by a member of The Dread Lords, this is shown in the order of the Gods in the table below, e.g. The Dawnfire is opposed to The Crimson King.
