In the beginning, long before the days of even the First Age of this world... there was the abyss. An all consuming darkness that possessed nothing, yet something. This abyss was a trove of scattered wills forming out of the nothingness that was the abyss and most of all it was a trove of Wild Magic. As these wills formed they began to understand the existence around them and as they did they began to see themselves as something other than the abyss. As their consciousness grew they began to understand this wild magic though the more they understood it the more they came to realize that its wildness only allowed them to grasp on to the smallest threads of it; grasp onto these threads they did and grasp onto them with a lock deeper than death they did. Thus the gods were formed.

With a death grip these wills began to mold their threads with their own will to give it structure an a order to strip away from it its wild nature and while this striped away its raw power it became something that one could use for themselves and at will. Order was birthed out of the abyss and with it the consciousnesses grew in knowledge and with it came power, a power that by the wild natures standard was nothing more than a pebble wedged underneath a mountain but to these wills this was enough power to create... Existence!

Order birthed structure, and with structure the wills began to truly see themselves apart from each other as each their own being and as such they began to test themselves against each other in tests of knowledge. These battles raged on for days, centuries even as such concepts did not even exist yet; timeless. Though as they tested themselves more and more eventually many began to separate themselves from one another as major existences who would eventually see it as unfruitful to test themselves against other... minor beings. As timeless passed on the wills eventually began to separate, passing on from the time of endless talks and tests of words, and decided in a new way to show off their knowledge to their fellow beings; creation. The first of the gods creations was a tiny forgettable thing but the mere act of is creation triggered a new test between the gods. Soon the abyss became littered with creation, some of them small like the first though others became much grander in both scale and complexity though eventually a single creation was brought into existence that outshone all others... the first world Mundus.

Mundus, the first world, became the epicenter of all gods who traveled from the farthest reaches of the abyss to see it for themselves and many of whom decided to stay upon its surface in order to create something even grander upon it surface as to show its creator that they would not be outdone. These gods began to shape the world as they saw fit creating mountains, volcanoes, water, and even storms and even more impressively laws of which these creations would abide by. Eventually however a new creation would be brought into existence that would once again outside its peers; life.

Spawned from a shard of its own existence the first life form was brought to Mundus and after the first the other gods saw the glory of its creation and thus began to create their own. In time the gods grew tired of merely making this... mundane form of life who's only purpose was merely to exist thus they sought a way to show to others how magnificent their own creations were in the newest test; combat. The gods began to create new entities with the sole purpose of defeating all others, to bath themselves in the blood of all of creation and

Powers often come in the form of primal elemental abilities that relate to that Shard and the island itself; Fire, Lightning, shadow, etc...
   
   • Eternal - A less powerful form of Primal but the power belongs solely to the user, can be used at full power anywhere.
     
   • Landlocked - A more powerful form of Primal but the user can only utilize it within the region/island of where it was granted. These are known as Primal or Wild Gods.
     

Godly - The faith based power created by the gods, those that practice this forgo the power of Nature and instead draw their power from worshipers themselves. The more worshipers they have the stronger the god becomes.

• Blessed - A subset of Godly, direct power granted from ones god.
