Chaos And Order - Fabric Of The Realm
The realm is under constant strain due to the struggle between the Elder Gods, Chaos and Order, has developed complex interweaving fabric of existence.
The major stage of the universe where the drama of existence takes place is the plane of mortals. The sentient and other life forms are drawn out of the chaotic existence outside this and other planes, and are born into the mortal plane. They gain experience and knowledge in their own scale and when they die, they go back to the chaotic existence.
Even with in the chaotic existence these beings that were once born into mortal plane are able to hold on to a semblance of entity and this is the payback the Order gives to Chaos for causing disruption in her creations. These entities though are not able to maintain their full form and are reduced to suggestive beings that can easily be poured into another life form and be born again. These suggestive entities have varied level of intricacies and varied level of coherence – which is directly dependent on their skill levels they had attained in their previous lives in the mortal plane. And as they are born again, they inherit some of the skills that they had learned in their previous lives. But these skills would latent until properly harnessed. Thus was the cycle of entities as they moved between the orderly mortal plane and the chaotic netherworlds.
But the mortal plane was not the only plane of existence that Order had created. There were other higher planes of existence. As Warsa passed, few among the many, transcended beyond the mortal plane. They moved on to the next higher plane of existence where the time seemed to slower and existence seemed to shrink as Order had lesser control over them. The beings grew in power and would make appearances in the mortal plane. They were soon regarded as the Gods. These Gods were just mere entities for the Elder Gods, but they did have direct influence over the mortals.
As time passed, though slowly in the planes of Gods, some Gods perished. It was not clear as to where they went, but after ages, there were instances of Gods being born. This made it clear to the Gods that they too could die but they went to a different netherworld than the others and they could reincarnate in the realm of the Gods. There a couple of instances in history when a God got reincarnated in the mortal plane. Such occurrences resulted in continent wide effects that left a lasting rule of that God.
Some Gods surpassed the power of other Gods and climbed higher in the planes of Gods. As such Gods were few; they were under direct influence of the Elder Gods, Order and Chaos. The sough allegiance between the two and this resulted in the constant struggle between the Gods for spheres of influences.
The whole system of the fabric of existence seemed to annoy Chaos, but as malicious he was, he was determined to gain the respect by playing it by the rules that seemed to be set between him and Order. He attempted to gain power and influence with in the system that Order had devised and aimed at bringing everything back to pure chaotic existence.
The tug of power between Chaos and Order was constant and prevailed unknown to the entities of mortals and lesser Gods, ironically on which they acted.
