rom the primordial turmoil at the center of the universe sprang the
gods full-fledged, full-formed. Each claimed jurisdiction over certain effects,
all being equally endowed with the power and force of the cosmos. They
cooperated for the first (and the last) time to create the worlds. But some
gods used their powers more wisely than their brethren.

n early alliance formed among these wiser gods. They knew how to
manipulate their power. This gathering of gods, who called themselves the
Seldarine (or the Brothers and Sisters of the Wood), imparted their very
essence into creating certain aspects of the worlds.

hile other gods squabbled over jurisdiction and possession of this
virtue and that attribute, the Seldarine modified some of the lands, making
their worlds lush and green and beautiful. In addition, they created vessels
that would one day hold the spirit of the first sentient life to set foot upon
these worlds - the race of beings known as Elves. They crafted these vessels
with thought and care, and gave them extraordinary beauty. The other gods grew
black with jealousy, and they thirsted to imitate the Seldarine.

hese gods hastily fashioned their own vessels, vying against those
created by the Seldarine. But they would not invest the time vital to creating
a race, and so their results were flawed - the gods did not care. Their
creations were nothing like those shaped by the Seldarine. Most were Monsters,
creatures that would one day haunt the dreams of Elves. Of all the crude
creations, only the vessel reserved for Man held a glimmer of potential, for
they would one day have the ability to change the land as would the Elves.

he gods of the new races tried too hastily to reproduce a feat that
had taken the wiser gods eons. But neither group's constructs would not come
to live until the historic meeting between Corellon Larethian and Gruumsh,
leader of the Anti-Seldarine.
