The first and most important thing to understand is
that even for Gods, creating a world is no easy task. Existence is an
internetworked set of complex systems that must constantly be checked and
balanced. Creation is not just an act of will, it is a mental and emotional
endurance trial.
The second most important thing is that to create something
like life on a planet is not a short term act. The process undertaken by the
beings that reached out and touched this planet did not do so under the
impression that they would set into motion a series of events that would
outlast them.
It is not known if the guiding hands that shaped life
on this planet fully understood the complexity of the undertaking, or if the
creation of conscious life was part of their plan from the very beginning. What
is known is what the Titans recorded of their one and only meeting with their
creators.
The titans were designed to be the stewards and
overseers of the planet. They were to live on and take care of their home all
the ages that it would exist. Time was not something the titans had any
interest in quantifying but their creators bred into them an understanding of
its passage. It was not until the creators disappeared that the Titans felt
they had anything worthy of recording or remembering. The first record created
by the Titans is a simple rudimentary comment.
Today, for the first time, we are truly alone.
Once this observation had been made. The titans saw a
need to protect and oversee history in the same way they had safeguarded the
planet. Even still, it is not known exactly how much time passed between the disappearance
of the creators and the evolution of the elven race.
What is known down to the minute is the date the elves
killed the first titan.
The Elven record of the titan war is a never ending nightmare
of blood and fire. The titan record is nothing more than a list of names and
their date of death. There are several recordings that detail how the war
ended. The elder elves claim that the death of the king’s son turned his
stomach and heart away from the desire for war. The wild elves records claim
that their exodus from their ancient homeland reduced the elven numbers so low
that they could not sustain the fight against the titans.
What is known is that ultimately the war caused the
Titans to lose the desire to pursue the very purpose they were created to fulfill.
Even the titans records post war were fewer and farer between.
As the Titans recorded less, the Elves recorded more,
and one of the things they took note of was the constantly decreasing numbers
of titans wandering the planet.
It was in these final years of the titans that the
paragons were created. So like their creators before them, they created life.
