In the realm of Eteria, an ancient world filled with the boundless essence of mana, there existed a time when nothing but this energy flowed through its vast expanse. With each passing moment, the river of time and magic intertwined, intertwining in an eternal dance that seemed to stretch across countless millennia.

However, after an immeasurable span of time, the perpetual cycle of creation and transformation yielded a remarkable outcome. A resounding cry, piercing the stillness of the void, marked the arrival of life itself. It was at this pivotal moment that the Primordial God was born, brought forth by the very essence of Eteria. Although he had not directly crafted the world, he instinctively assumed the responsibility to oversee its destiny, for better or for worse.

The first to emerge and the most formidable of them all was Arkaz, known as the God of Power. Endowed with unparalleled might, he possessed the ability to effortlessly cleave even the sturdiest mountain with a mere flick of his fingers. His presence radiated a raw force that commanded both respect and awe from all who beheld him.

For countless eons, Arkaz stood as a vigilant observer, overseeing the natural evolution of the world he had claimed as his own. In his self-proclaimed role as its god, he wielded the power to determine the fate of the races that inhabited Eteria.

Arkaz, however, was not a just deity. While he witnessed the growth and progress of Eteria, he took it upon himself to judge which races were worthy of prosperity and which were destined for destruction. Those he deemed flawed by his own standards faced annihilation, while those he favored were bestowed with his blessings.

In the wake of his selective judgments, only the proud and graceful elves and fairies remained. Although they were not the first race to exist in Eteria, they were the ancient beings who had managed to survive by gaining Arkaz's favor. These ethereal creatures became the chosen ones, basking in the benevolence of their self-proclaimed god.

During this ancient era, Arkaz's power and influence grew to such an extent that he earned the title of the God of the Sun, a symbol of his immense might and dominion over the world. Yet, even the sun itself is not complete without its companion, the moon.

From the lineage of the very first elves, a being ascended to godhood. Eluna, the Goddess of the Moon, emerged as the second deity in the pantheon of Eteria. She possessed a beauty and kindness that were unparalleled, earning her the admiration of all who beheld her radiance. Her hair flowed as gracefully as the moon's glow, and her eyes mirrored the starry night sky, sparkling like water reflecting the heavens above.

Thus, the divine beings, Arkaz and Eluna, reigned over Eteria as the God of the Sun and the Goddess of the Moon respectively. Their intertwined powers and enchanting presence shaped the destiny of this world, while their eternal celestial dance illuminated the path of its inhabitants.

In the realm of Eteria, two powerful beings held contrasting views on how to govern and shape the world. Eluna, a benevolent goddess, ruled with kindness, valuing life above all else and yearning for a world where diverse races could coexist in harmony. Unlike her counterpart, Arkaz, whose gaze was captivated by Eluna's beauty and compassion, had previously enforced strict standards, destroying races that failed to meet his expectations. However, Arkaz had a change of heart when he fell under the spell of Eluna's charm and pledged to allow Eteria to evolve according to its own path. This newfound conviction opened the door for countless races to flourish within Eteria.

Eluna's unwavering belief in harmony and peace granted her the revered title of Goddess of Peace. Her reign was marked by a genuine desire to foster understanding and unity among all races. However, this very ideology became the root of a complex predicament. Surprisingly, it was the elves and fairies, who shared a lineage with Eluna as fellow beings of the elven race, that leaned towards Arkaz's old ways rather than embracing Eluna's vision.

Elves and fairies, despite being blessed by their elf goddess, regarded themselves as superior to other races, dismissing them as inferior. They believed that their superiority was a testament to being chosen by Arkaz himself, deeming themselves perfect beings. In this distorted perspective, they failed to appreciate Eluna's emphasis on equality and the beauty of diversity.

Thus, a dissonance arose within the elven and fairy communities. Their allegiance, rooted in their perceived superiority and Arkaz's previous standards, made them skeptical of Eluna's inclusive principles. While Eluna's intentions were guided by love and acceptance, her fellow elves and fairies held onto an antiquated belief that propagated their own perfection, hindering their ability to embrace the evolving tapestry of races within Eteria.

Centuries came and went, shaping the world of Eteria and giving birth to a myriad of races. Among them, the proud and ethereal elves and fairies thrived within the enchanting depths of the majestic forest known as Fiora. Guided by the benevolent Goddess Eluna, these beings were blessed with a unique grace and wisdom. However, their pride eventually led them to choose a path of seclusion, isolating themselves from the other races. Though not inherently aggressive, they were far from welcoming.

Beyond the borders of Fiora's grand domain, a new race emerged: humanity. Many among them held the belief that they had evolved from a species of monkey, blessed with an abundant reserve of mana and exceptional intelligence. Others held a different perspective, firmly convinced that Goddess Eluna had personally crafted them with her gentle touch.

In a realm where mystical creatures roamed, such as the enchanting elves and whimsical fairies, the concept of time was vastly different. These extraordinary beings were bestowed with the gift of lasting life, their existence stretching far beyond the mortal realm. Unlike them, humans were bound by the constraints of a significantly shorter lifespan, making each fleeting moment feel as if it were merely a blink of an eye from the perspective of the timeless elves.

Yet, despite their brevity, human lives held a remarkable quality: an insatiable hunger for improvement. While elves and fairies reveled in the tranquility of their eternal existence, humans embarked on a ceaseless quest for progress. Driven by an innate desire to push boundaries, they sought to better themselves, their societies, and the world around them.

In this realm, a small hamlet nestled amidst verdant fields could undergo an astonishing transformation within the span of a human lifetime. What started as a modest gathering of dwellings and simple aspirations could swiftly evolve into a bustling town, brimming with commerce and culture. And in the rarest of circumstances, a mere generation could witness the birth of a kingdom, as human ambition and industriousness propelled them forward.

Within the very first kingdom established by humanity, a figure of great power and influence arose—the third god, known as Amael, the God of Wind and Wisdom. Once a mere human bard, he had achieved a remarkable feat by ascending to the realm of divinity. Legends surrounding Amael spoke of his ability to transform into a magnificent golden stag, adorned with horns ablaze, serving as a messenger between the gods and the chosen humans who received his communications.

A significant shift occurred with the proclamation of Amael as the third god. This momentous event not only gained recognition from the powerful entities known as Arkaz and Eluna, but it also sparked a profound change in the beliefs of the people. No longer was divinity seen as something granted solely through divine selection, but rather as something attainable through the extraordinary magical abilities possessed by individuals.

The notion that being called a "God" was no longer restricted to those inherently chosen, but rather indicative of one's ability to ascend to the highest echelons of power became widely embraced. It signified that the individual had surpassed all conceivable limits and had achieved the pinnacle of power. However, amidst this understanding, a question lingered: just how high did this standard truly reach, considering that the one seated atop the hierarchical structure was none other than Arkaz?
