However, nothing remains perfect, and there were imperfections in every aspect of what is and has been created.

In Primigenus’ world, currently known as Primagine, the beings of order and chaos called gods were the imperfections. In the world of Nezreal, these gods became greedy for power. The managed to leave the world’s confines and create their own miniature worlds, their realms. These realms existed only for themselves and those they give permission to. Using these realms, which exist at the boundary between the void and Nezreal, the gods gave power to the intelligent life forms. However, this power was a double edged sword. Although it gave unimaginable power in a very short time, it completely ruined the possibility of growth, as the lower life forms would grow increasingly dependent of on this new power, and forget the path of mana, which Primagine had given its life up to create, and allow others to grow as strong as itself. This is how the gods prevented others from growing, and were too afraid to grow themselves, thereby stagnating the growth in the world of Nezreal.

In Anotatos’ creation, there were many sentient races, but none of them were close to strong enough to even understand the concept of its existence. All they could do was rely on their minds to grow more technically advances, which also had its limitations. These limitation were known as the laws, an called any different thing throughout the millions of civilisations in Anotatos’ creation. However, there was one race that was very threatening to Anotatos, that was the race originating from the blue planet, the natives call Earth. On earth lived a single dominant race, very technologically advanced, and constantly at war with each other. This race categorized the laws in a very unique way; they called them as the laws of physics, the laws of biology, etc. And they were constantly learning new things about the laws created by Anotatos. However, what was really threatening wasn’t the race itself, or their understanding of its laws, but it was their beliefs. The population on the planet was incredibly large, the largest in its creation, with over 400 billion people as of the year 3700. They have colonised many planets and taken over many races, forcing them to worship their pantheon of ‘gods’. Anotatos knew that such a pantheon didn’t exist, however, things were changing. The sheer strength in belief, as well as the incredible number of worshipers, led to the creation of these gods. Currently, they were still illusory, and could only talk with certain individuals, but over time, they would grow stronger, until they could threaten to overthrow Anotatos itself!
