Chaosism

In the very beginning, there was chaos. Out of that chaos formed the Chaos Gods, representing each, an element of chaos. There was Lyvus, representing Greed. There was Umburus, representing Death. There was Ariox, representing Suffering. And there was Pax, representing Hate.

They roamed the empty universe free, creating darkness everywhere they went. This darkness pooled together, and in the spaces not taken up by darkness, formed the basic universe, planets, stars, galaxies.

From this, formed the perfect opposites to the Chaos Gods. The Peace Gods. There was Lux, representing Life. There was Venia, representing forgiveness. There was Laetor, representing Joy. And there was Quartz, representing Perfection.

These Gods fought for a millenia, creating life and magic. Eventually, they became tired and made a deal. Neither side would fight again, and only interact with life, magic, and each other through their representations.

But strangely, there was only place in the whole universe that had life and magic simultaneously. A place called Eldham. So the Gods were drawn to that planet, and it became their battleground.
