In the time before the gods, our world was as a barren rock. Le'Ar was the first to touch the land and in that touch gave it life. They wandered our planet and wherever they walked, water sprang up and the earth softened. Under Le'Ar's gentle hands was the ground molded into the wondrous Chier. They whispered the words of life and left their creation to fertilize the land. It was near the watery banks that plants found their home, and with plants came the creatures that live on them, and eventually the creatures that live off of the others. And so was the world made ready for us. With a breath was the abundant human created. With a laugh were the delighted gnomes created. With a thump was the sturdy dwarf created. With a whisper were the hidden elves created.

As is the way of life, we grew and multiplied. With our might and the knowledge granted us by Le'Ar, we created marvelous cities and created culture and laws. As is also sometimes the way of life, we grew until our lands could not sustain us. From our desperation was Shinn born. Mankind created nations which fought with each other, each believing their cause was just and lawful while their enemy was not. And so it was that our kind was nearly destroyed until Le'Ar and Chier, weeping with despair at their dying creation, called for Shinn to stop the destruction and meet with them. Shinn, in their wisdom, agreed for if mankind were to destroy itself, so too would he die.

With that were the three nations born, each to their god, and each necessary to preserve the balance in the world.
