in the beginning, there was only true nothingness, not the void true nothingness. from the nothingness came soul or will many words have been used to describe it over the ages. the old languages have better words for it, but nothing but the languages of the ancients does truly cover the realness of it, the closest language that comes close are that of the Ents ancient creatures. Although what they use are more of the length of a novel so it’s not really that useful today and them being nearly extinct doesn’t really help that much. also, there’s not many creatures or scrolls much less actual books that explains it any more. the next concept that came too be was Impetus or the primordial energy that came before all other types of energy. later urrh gave rise to all the other energies the closer too impetus the more powerful.
but before that soul spawned chaos and order and impetus spawned creation and destruction. the creation off and merger off these concepts gave rise to the first life or more specifically, the primordial titans and gods. not all gods were orderly. nor were all titans chaotic although only 2 titans were orderly the lord of death or the reaper from where the opposite too. the phoenix from where life spawned, and the cycle off life and death spawned not that any off the primordial where truly affected by it being immortal beings indestructible too anything but their own not that they could easily kill it taking a group too truly kill one. Not much happened since the titans would destroy or consume anything the gods tried to create. This went on for no measurement of time since there was nothing precise too measure it by this was an endless cycle of the gods and titans.
Some ended up dead in this void until the gods managed too convince the 2 orderly titans too help the gods trap what later would be called the mad titans in what was would be known as the pit, Tartarus, the deepest hell and many other names. how they convinced them is forgotten in history but its speculated that it was a mixture off a peace agreement and lots of bribes since the 2 titans got their own realms and loyal species something they could not have done by their own.

The agreement of the gods and the orderly titans spawned the high concepts or elements reality/space/ life/death/perception. And the lesser concepts or elements fire or heat/ water or liquid/air or gases/ earth or matter/ arcana/ mana/ corruption/ purity. Because of the creation of the, elemental realm, the godly realms, the realms of the underworld and the realms off hell. Another important thing to mention is that the lord of death swore eternal allegiance to the lord of destruction.
The creation of the realms also gave rise to a huge number of creatures that became even more diversified due to what the mortals would call evolution. Saying that the gods created the mortals, animals, nature and so many more creatures in their own image is nothing but a lie because the primordial beings had no shape at this point. later they started taking the shape of mortals and in time being somewhat bound too these shapes due to the nature of existence or magic being shaped by the primordial energies, reality and belief. Something. all lesser life posset at this point the powers off these concepts such as belief. That shape the shape of the primordial beings was that would actually make it so. As such the primordial beings was partially forced into these physical forms but still being able to shift their form. This ended up with the primordial beings taking on the nature of what they looked like such as sexuality, life, death or reincarnation since they were truly immortal also being bound too the ravages of time or its true nature reality since time only being the perception of reality and not a true element. This would later cause them madness and depression the newfound sexuality towards mortals and their own kind. Caused the creation second generation gods.
