 Many arcs had past in the world of Idalos before any of the Immortals took notice of mankind, but when they did, fear drove tensions high as they observed the mortal beings. Some of the Immortals were fascinated by the humans; they were thankful for the mortals' existence and for providing purpose to the Immortals. But other Immortals were far from pleased, as mankind had introduced a dangerous new element to their society once more. To some, the memory of the Shay was still fresh and the ways the worship and power it gave had divided even their creators from each other. Some even viewed the mortal scum as the sole reason why their creators shattered. With no clues to understand the Shattering, only the creation of these mortals seemed to coincide with the event. For centuries the Immortals remained divided on the fate of humans, but never enough so that they came to blows. An uneasy peace had settled on Idalos as the mortals began to build their society, but the peace was fragile and did not hold.
-It was only when the Immortal, [[:Category:Daia]], was slain at the hands of a human did the Immortals reach physical conflict. The weapon used to slay her reached through Emea in a way no weapon before could, mortally wounding her essence, as well as slaying her mortal form. The Immortals, who had thought themselves above danger from humanity, were shaken to their core. [[:Category:Faldrun]] was among the first of the Immortals to threaten them into submission, commanding his brothers and sisters to rid the human scum from Idalos lest the other Immortals wanted to meet the same fate as Daia. Out of fear, some of them succumbed to his will. Out of noncompliance, others left, choosing to remain silent but observant to the rest. And out of moral obligation and love of the mortals, others rose up against Faldrun. It was then, when wrath and righteousness collided, that their heavenly world began to crumble along with the lands of Idalos and the humans that resided within it.

 War was unleashed. Immortal against Immortal, fighting for the existence of a race that provided power and purpose for the Immortals. As they fought, the Immortals quickly realized that no matter how they tried, they could not kill one another. Their creators had made them to support the world they ruled, not to tear it apart. Together they only made each other stronger. Only through pulling out the heart of their brother or sister could an Immortal incapacitate their brethren. As their war entered a stalemate, some Immortals returned to the mortals in order to recruit or coerce their aid. But the long Immortal war had scarred the face of Idalos, which raged, boiled, and withered without the Immortal attention. Without the Verses, who once held order, the Immortals maintained the balance of the world. Among the wreckage of the home they had been tasked to protect, lay the shattered bones of countless humans, sown into the soil by the wrath of their battle.

 Arcs before the Oath
-Then came the [[Originals]].
+Then came the [[:Category: Originals|Originals]].
 They came from within Emea, never speaking of their origin to any. Eight in number, the Originals were inspired by what they found. The fledgling world of Idalos was young and still developing. Sentient life blossomed as did the potential for creation. The Originals were beings glutted on the powers of Emea and set to work quickly claiming portions of the world as their own to develop, grow, and build. The Shay, knowing nothing of the Emean origins, worshiped the Originals as gods easily enough and created religious schism in their society. The Originals became smitten with the Shay and their industrious spirit, accepting their place at the head of their pantheon. From their worship, the Originals came to know the taste of devotion and the power it promised.
-[[Anox]], the most brutal of the Originals, a being of conquest and control looked to annihilate any opposition to the rule of his kind and found himself in conflict with the Verses. The Induk did not welcome the invaders. Rather, they called upon the Dragons and their own might in an attempt to exterminate or banish these aberrant creators from their lands. While it isn't clear who struck the first blow, catastrophic war enveloped Idalos between the two factions and would be the catalyst for some of the most monumental change Idalos had ever seen. Although outnumbered, the Originals devised a way to turn the tide. From their own essence they created lesser versions of themselves, eventually named the [[:Category: Immortals | Immortals]], who held their same chaotic abilities but narrowed to only a few specific domains. Accepted as divine servants, the Shay included these new beings into their worship and gave the Originals and their children the edge to turn the battle in their favor. The Immortals became invaluable tools in the war and a decisive victory for the Originals.

 It was Anox that struck a fatal blow to the Induk Idalos in one such battle, forcing the ancient spirit to retreat into the planet and relinquish its hold over the world itself. The remaining Verses met their own ends or banishment at the hands of the Originals, their morale broken and their forces scattered.
