As the [[Old god|gods]] create the [[Orden|world]], [[Ket]], using his own essence, formed the magnificent Draco Nobilis, gave them minds and placed them within the world. He created life so they could know, understand and appreciate the gods' work. {{Cite web/creation of the world}}

=== [[Human|Humans]] and the coming of war ===

=== [[Inexorable|Inexorables]] ===
With the death of the [[Nyl|God of Death]], the Inexorables were created. Created to ensure [[Human|humans]] never meet their creator and to enforce the [[Laws of creation|laws of nature]].
