Long ago, when the concept of reality, time, and matter itself could not yet be conceived, there existed an all powerful single entity. This entity saw it's own existance as torture, as there was nothing it could do but feel unendingly. In a desperate attempt to end it's own existance, the entity imploded itself, causing it's energy to flow inwards then outwards suddenly, ripping itself apart. Out of this energy formed the universe and many other powerful beings, each a product of this single entity's suicide. Only one is notable here, for only Kar'Kaish applies to this specific lore. Kar'Kaish, using her own power, moved through the universe, finally settling on a planet to influence. Her power was derived from the conflict of Chaos and Order that flowed through The Beginner's mind (The Beginner being the gods' way of referencing the being that created all), so she created two sets of gods, those who preferred life, and those that preferred death. She ordered these gods to populate the planet with followers, as such beings would surely amuse her. Both the life and death gods did her bidding, and created a race of demons, a contortion of both life and death. However, they made this new race too powerful and too numerous, and, knowing their creators' folly, they joined in rebellion against them to become Kar'Kaish's chosen. The demons seemed to be winning due to the gods' disagreement as to how to rid themselves of the demons, until both death and life gods took their own agendas to heart, and unleashed their own terrible powers to undo the demons. The dual powers formed a paradox, and so did not undo the demons, but instead shifted their existance into a different plane of reality. This plane only contained the land of Kar'Kaish for it was formed specifically for the paradox, although Kar'Kaish could not form dominion over it lest she be destroyed. Kar'Kaish noticed this, and quickly acted to reverse the effects of the paradox on the stronger demons, sealing them in a different plane of reality within her own, forming orbs. The gods of life and death saw their failure due to their differences, and sought out to quell one another so that they may have complete control. The conflict between the two fueled Kar'Kaish's power, and as they raged war on the planet's surface, she used her growing power to shape the world. Eventually the gods of Life triumphed, and, not being able to destroy the same energy they were made of, sealed the death gods under the surface of the planet. With her power waning from this one-sided victory, she influenced the beings the life gods began to create, forcing them to have flaws that would end in conflict later. With this influence going unnoticed, she retreated from her work and began to watch. And so, the life gods went to work, creating the races that now inhabit Alan'iel.
