Long ago, when the World was a mere babe of a thing, there were three sisters, the Creators of the World and the caretakers of it; the first called herself Lezhi Diya Shei’a, the second Amora Ne Elazha Lelethe, and what the third called herself has been lost to time; nowadays she simply calls herself Aris.
Not all was well between the three sisters. Lezhi and Amora had created much of the World, only consulting Aris when it was time to put in the darker, carnivorous creatures. This task Aris did not mind at all—but Aris wondered why She was consulted so far into the Creation of the World, if it was supposed to be their creation instead of Lezhi’s and Amora’s. The other two sisters tried to explain that they all had different tasks, that Lezhi made the weather and creatures of the air, and Amora made many of the creatures of the land and the sea, and that now it was Aris’s turn to make the creatures She wanted to make… Still, Aris continued to resent it, and when alone, threw fits and talked to the companion She had created, Allos. Allos, being a creation of Aris’s, and thus filled with dark suggestions, insisted that She take revenge on Her sisters for slighting her.
So Aris, already thinking about these sorts of plans, did so—and killed Lezhi, sending Her into a pocket of the Void Outside, the Laax’ticat, where She was trapped and has remained trapped for all of time. Amora, seeing this and knowing who had suggested it to Aris, killed Allos, sending Aris into an unholy rage. Spiteful and spitting with rage, Aris roared that She would show Amora “dark creatures” and with a wave of Her hand created Hell and relocated there at once. Amora, angry at Her sister for this betrayal of both Herself and Lezhi, created the Shimmerwood in response and lived there.
Amora, looking down upon Earth, created Servants in the form of wolves and sent them out into the land; Aris, fuming at this, created the first Hellhound and sent her to begin subverting Amora’s Servants. And subvert the little Hellhound did, until there were an entire army of Hellhounds. They marched on the Shimmerwood, but Amora managed to create enough Servants just in time to fend them off. Both sides were decimated, until there were almost none left…
And that is where the story begins.
