God War

The God War was a conflict that happened some time after the Creation War. This conflict came as a result of the Undead Gods arriving into the Modern World.

**Arrival of the Undead Gods**

Led by Luminlustros, the Undead Gods had escaped the collapse of their world and searched for a new home across the multiverse. This led them to the Modern World, which was still being crafted by Malachite. Eager to take the world for themselves and recreate the one which they had lost, the Undead Gods attacked the Eternals. With their army of eldritch horrors called the Aboleths, the Undead Gods quickly dominated.

Malachite was captured by the Undead Gods, leaving the Eternals without their leader. Wryn would take the place of leader in this time, instructing the Eternals to scout the corners of the still burgeoning world for a weapon to fight back. It was in this time that Aurum (god of creation) and Indriss (god of knowledge) discovered the power of the Aeons, a collective of cosmic energies that Malachite had been using to forge the world. The gods combined their wisdom and molded the Aeons into weaponry, gifting weapons to many of their strongest siblings.

**The Gifts**

From the Aeon Adamaris, they crafted a trident and bestowed its power to Menra.

From the Aeon Allieesar, they crafted a flying spear and bestowed its power to Eqdohr.

From the Aeon Corozun, they crafted a flaming bow and bestowed its power to Qynos.

From the Aeon Gettai Ken, they created an impossibly large sword and bestowed its power to Wryn.

From the Aeon Ifrit, they crafted axes of fire and lightning and bestowed their power to Anhillion.

From the Aeon King Adas, they crafted a magical wand and bestowed its power to Echerron.

From the Aeon Labyrinth, they crafted a magical spellbook and bestowed its power to Indriss.

From the Aeon Murasa, they crafted a monstrous blade and bestowed its power to Waatrayn.

From the Aeon Ringripper, they crafted a scythe of living lightning and bestowed its power to Nox.

From the Aeon Shino, they crafted an invisible shield and bestowed its power to Rangyur,

From the Aeon Shizusu, they crafted a wooden battleaxe and bestowed its power to Orcul.

From the Aeon Tokenai Kori, they crafted a titanic hammer and bestowed its power to Aurum.

**The Turning Tide**

With their new weapons, the Eternals traveled to the edges of the universe to confront the Undead Gods. A great war was fought that ripped through existence, creating a number of terrible and wondrous things. Ultimately the Undead Gods were defeated and Malachite freed. Before his kin could kill the Undead Gods, Malachite would instead see them captured and imprisoned alongside their army in the Sunken Plane. Malachite had recognized the wisdom of his enemies and sought to learn from them of the multiverse, and the threat that had upended their world.

**Deep Ones**

Unsure of the true power of the Sunken Plane to keep these foes at bay, Malachite sought out the Deep Ones and requested their aid in ensuring the prison would hold. The Deep Ones were witness to the horror of the Undead Gods, and agreed to help. For Malachite they created a race of aquatic warriors and mystics known as the Sylvarians. Malachite granted the Sylvarians complete dominion over the seas of the Material Plane, so long as they guarded any entrances / exits to the Sunken Plane (Which dwelled deep below the oceans.)

**Aftermath of the God War**

While the use of the Aeons to make weapons had aided the Eternals, it had also released a new enemy to the universe. Harnessing such impossible power was a task that solely Malachite could do without ramifications. Born of this process came the *Titans*, elemental beings bent on devouring the universe. This would lead to another conflict for the Eternals known as the *Titan War*.

With their imprisonment, the Undead Gods would eventually reveal much to Malachite about the multiverse and the destruction of their world at the hands of a being called the *Black Star*.

The Aboleths that were trapped with the Undead Gods would be used on multiple occasions to search for an escape from the plane, but most all were plots were foiled at the hands of heroes across space and time.
