The War of Fate

At an undetermined point in time, the Ancients began to hear the whispers of an entity known as the Elder God. This being spoke to them of a metaphysical cycle called the Wheel of Fate by which all living things were created to fulfill their destinies before being cleansed in a purifying cycle of death and rebirth.The Ancients came to worship this unseen God and his doctrine. In time, humans followed suit.

But the Hylden, being more inclined toward technology and industrial means than the Ancients' magic and mysticism, refused to consider this doctrine. Instead, they rejected the Wheel of Fate and its deathly cycle, aiming to achieve immortality in their own right.

This act of heresy was not tolerated by the Ancients' god and a great war quickly began and escalated to span across the ages in bloody conflict. Countless deaths occurred on both sides of the war until at long last, each race pushed for a final, decisive victory.
