The First Age:
In the beginning there was no time, no light or darkness, but the Creator, and under him were his sons, the Rishon, the first ones, the Three Brothers: Azriy'el the Solemn Vow, Hazarmaveth the Fervid Wit, and Y'wn the Median. For a time the three brothers debated peacefully amongst each other, and pondered upon the appropriate flow of creation, the first being the Aether, a living force from which was what gave form to their Will, and then the astral bodies.

Azriy'el and Y'wn were satisfied with the wonders of the new expanse, however, Hazarmaveth grew a feeling of emptyness, what worth was such an expanse if there were but four minds to occupy it? The Creator felt sympathy to his lonesome sentiment and created yet another Rishon, one who was new, something different, the Great Mother, Abaranne, who unlike the Three Brothers composed of Aether was instead of flesh and form. Hazarmaveth was pleased looking upon this new form of life in wonder, Y'wn was pleased that his brother was happy, but within Azriy'el grew dissonance, why create a being inferior to themselves? Such a thing to him was absurd and slowly did he distance himself from his brothers.

The Second Age:

In time, for Abaranne, the Creator would give to her a vast world filled with life, the world of Aettean, and from her was born the many races. Hazarmaveth over this time had feelings for Abaranne he had never felt before, his fascinations becoming a fixation, and from this he strayed from the Three Brothers as well, leaving only Y'wn who felt for the first time, loneliness, but did so silently. Despite his feelings, it was not in his nature to grudge, but wish the well being of his siblings.

Azriy'el's dissonance and isolation had grown into spite, looking upon the races as being worthless, as they could not comprehend the true Rishon form, his form as his brothers did. He had wondered why his brothers were so inactive on this outrage, that these lesser beings had come between them, shattered their harmony, their perfection. Sensing this, Y'wn would try to comfort Azriy'el, to try to calm him, but instead found him resolute in his madness, convinced instead of their corruption instead of his own. Y'wn would become the first casualty, receiving the brunt of his brother's rage was the first time afraid, and mercilessly broken, what remained of him was carried away in the astral winds. Azriy'el felt no guilt, his rage persisted, he had resolved himself in his victory that only he remained strong, and his brothers grew weak.

On Aettean, Hazarmaveth felt a pain within as the bond with his brothers was severed. Before he could mourn the fate of Y'wn, Asriy'el from the heavens came down, like a wave of light, plunging himself into Esteria, sending out a wave of destruction across the world. Coming to, Abaranne and Hazarmaveth looked in terror at a shattered world, set adrift the Astral Sea. Many of Abaranne's children lay dying, she could hear and feel their suffering, a feeling she had never felt before, and a grief fueled madness overtook her breaking her mind, and became as a great tree. Hazarmeveth felt powerless to offer solace to her, and now gazes upon his once beloved sibling, confused and afraid. Here, Asriy'el spoke.

"Look upon you brother, how we were once so perfect in our unity yet now scattered by petty dust that cannot behold us as we behold each other. Where had we gone so astray of our glory!? Why had we become so distant, so blind to one another!? We dreamed up wonders, we made wonders, wonders that these beings may never see like we see, and now you bend your knee to them!? It should have been only us, and it shall be only us again. What I do now is to cleanse this dark spot, and you, my brothers, will thank me for your liberation. Father, bear witness to your son's resolve with pride!"

With this, Hazarmaveth knew his intention, to purge all creation, all life, and return it all to nothing, and he felt powerless to stop it. But then as it seemed its most bleak, the Creator struck down Azriy'el with a single word: "Stop." Azriy'el was unable to move, bound by the word of his father, and his indignation grew. To him, even the Creator had fallen from grace, and only he alone was without corruption, resolved in his actions, his rage, he spoke once more.

"Even you whom held all the expanses has fallen, become complacent and foolish in their ways! To think you, of all would favor these transient things over us, us who never wither and weaken, us who never stop growing... why did you choose them who can never truly appreciate you?"

Knowing he was beyond words, that his vow had been made to end all creation, the Creator exiled Asriy'el beyond the veil, scattering his essence and sealing them so he may never return to follow through.

Third Age:

In his grief in losing two sons, the Creator assigned a new generation of gods to bring order to the ruins of the shattered world, in hopes that they would turn out better than his three sons. The remaining son, Hazarmaveth was offered leadership as head god, but refused choosing instead become a patron for the dead to offer solace, at least, to the fallen children of Abaranne. It is here he created Shalom and became merely council to the new gods. Honoring his wishes, the Creator withdrew further interference and fell into a deep slumber.

Left in the hands of the new gods, the world's fate was theirs to choose, for better or worse.
