In a time before the recording of ages lived powerful deities who governed the mortals of Corwyn from their perches in the stars. Each presiding over one universal element, like the seasons, the sun, vigilance, or deceit, their powers were reflective of these elements. Their strength came from mortal worship alone, and so it was in their best interests to gather as many followers as possible. Yet such competition from beings of immense power often brought war and unnecessary suffering to the world. When the deities fell for reasons unknown to the mortals, Corwyn changed drastically. Those universal elements were no longer reigned over with individual authority, though it is unclear as to what (or whom) governs the universe’s properties now.
