Once upon a time, in a time before the birth of the world, there was a Phantom Kingdom, a land of demons, ghosts, and ancient evil.  This land had been created by the vile will of a dead Wizard who sought to become a God.

In his quest for Apotheosis he trapped long dead gods and devils, and discovered the Founding Stone. But in so doing, he unleashed his own doom. 

Unto the Phantom Kingdom appeared Bloodstone, the first City, home of the Pure Heart. With it came hope.

Those of the Pure Heart joined forces with the God-bearers, and set free the Flesh of the Founding Stone.  The Founding Stone invoked the Lord of the Dead, the Lord of Strife, the Lord of Change.

Unto the Phantom Kingdom came Tholuk, and he cracked open the God-bearers like clams and drew forth the Lords of Law and of Chaos. He took the shells of the Bearers and made the first Champions.  He sent forth the Handmaidens to usher in the birth of creation. 

And so it was to pass that the last shell was shorn from the last Handmaiden, the Fortress Forlorn was shattered, the womb of the world was rent and Ashlan the Golden was born.

Thus was the world made real. 

Ashlan breathed and oceans poured forth to sweep over the earth. Ashlan breathed, and forests grew across hilltop and valley. Ashlan breathed, and all manner of bird and beast flew and hopped and ran and swam across the world.

The Proud Heart spilled forth from the great city of Bloodstone, and took the lands for their own. But they were not the only ones.  Into this world crawled all the dark things that had been held so long in the Phantom realms.  Under the cloak of Father Night they slipped off into the dark recesses of the world to await the day they might call the world their own.

A great battle, the first battle drove forth the demons and forbidden gods, and rent the earth. Tholuk ripped forth the Founding Stone and made the Moon, the Sun, and the 7 Higher Worlds, and sent them spinning. From the ruins of Bloodstone grew a holy tree, and this mighty tree grew to tie together Shekhenah with her sister worlds.

Thus was the Dawn Age, when Law and Chaos struggled to shape the world, and the First Champions wandered the Land.
