Void War

Sien Beasts roamed the lands, basking in
their perfection (and arrogance) and the perfect detail of their world. The
Precursors grew tired of the Sien Beasts, and began to change the world.
Although still immortal, and still powerful, the Sien Beasts chose to lash out
at everything the Precursors changed. A Sien Beast whose name has been lost to
time (but is referred to as The
Limax) found a way to create more Sien Beasts than just those who
were born when the world was made. Seeing the Limax as a serious threat to
their divine sovereignty, the Precursors decided to craft more deities- using
Sien Beasts.
The Precursors took hold of three notable Sien Beasts who
were sympathetic to their reign. Ealt and Egris copulated (an act unusual, as
Sien Beasts can not mate), and gave birth to the many races of Man. Man was
spread far and wide by their parents, but they themselves were slaughtered by
the forces of the Limax for their betrayal. This action backfired when Ealt and
Egris had their spirits thrown into the Void. The Precursors
awaited them, and granted them Godhood.
Eos had made a plan with the Precursors, and was to have his
mind split as creatures of his ken were made from his body. The scaled and
winged body of Eos was torn apart, his spirit thrown into the Void, and the
Dragons were born from his bones. However, the power Eos still had over his
disconnected body was great, and his spirit had fragmented, returning to all
the dragons. With the power of the Sien Beasts and the blessings of the gods,
the Dragons spread themselves far and wide, taking no side in the conflict. The
Precursors and the Limax were fooled.
Three dragons remained loyal to the Precursors and were granted immense
power beyond any of being. These dragons became the Primordial Dragons, known as the Leviathan, the Behemoth and the Anzü.  They were tasked with
maintaining balance in Uroda until the time came that chaos consumed it. Then
they would invoke the apocalypse, which would wake the Precursors and allow
them to rebuild the world from scratch. The Precursors gifted them three orbs,
one for water, one for earth and one for sky and they sealed them in a third
eye socket and placed gargantuan metal seals that could only be removed by all
the Primordial Dragons commanding it at once.
With their creation deemed perfect the Precursors told
the Sien Beasts that they would begin to slumber. The Limax resolved to devour the world in order to spite the
Precursors. Although the other Sien Beasts were against the plan, none could
act against the Limax's power. (It's consuming of Ealt and Egris' bodies increased
its strength a hundredfold.) More of the Sien Beasts turned to the Precursors
for protection from the Limax 'and its hunger for all things'. With enough of
the Sien Beasts on their side, Ealt and Egris melded their spirits with their
bodies, creating several dozen gods. The tribe of warrior gods assaulted the
Limax, many losing their lives against the creature. Finally, the Limax was
slain. With its power returned to dormancy, the Precursors hurled its carcass
into the space outside Uroda, where it would reside, unable to regenerate to
full power. The six gods managed to cast
the Limax into orbit, diminishing his power. These new gods came to be known as
the The Míshásta Pantheon.
