Dawn of Ages
First War of the Gods.
First born, Saan and his younger siblings rebel against their father, the Maker / Weaver. The Weaver crushes their rebellion but forgives his children.
Second War of the Gods.
Saan rebels again. This time, only the goddess Undeyna and giant Crun side with him. Saan spawns and raises an army of demons laying siege to the heavens.
Age of Conflict
War rages throughout the Multiverse. Wrathful, the Weaver diverts the Dance, creating worlds elsewhere. At the edge of ruin, he and his loyal children overcome the rebels. In retribution, the Weaver orders Saan’s body dismembered and head stowed under a jungle mountain in Yamondo, Ansu. From this time, Saan gets branded Cul–Saan the Overproud and Old Night––Prince of Chaos. The Maker resumes the Worlds-Dance, moving on across the universe. The loyal high gods acting as his stewards chain Crun to a rock at sea, but Undeyna they forgive, dazzled by her guileful beauty.
Age of Expansion
Ansu proclaimed first world by the Weaver. During this time, he crosses to different parts of the Multiverse, trusting his wisest children to rule Ansu and the other nine original planets.
A flaw appears in the Making. A crack opens in Limbo, allowing the dragon, Vaarg, and the demon spawn Kaa and Grogans to creep closer. The Weaver seals the crack, locking out the Void.
Combatting wizard-races, the Aralais and Urgolais first arrive in Ansu from a distant galaxy.
Aralais expansion forces the native Faen into the forest realms.
The Goddess Elanion becomes Ansu’s Guardian and lives in the Forest of Dreams. The Faen join her as beloved servants.
Newcomers Humans gifted realms in Ansu
