The following as an excerpt from the ancient texts of Aztech Springwalker, translated to common. It may be hard to understand, and translation is rough, but it tells the story of how this world came to be - L.S
| “ | Hello, I am Aztech Springwalker. Elven druid of ancient descent. This earth is not all that it seems, much less actually. It could be so simple if people just understood, don't touch the ghouls. But no. There was once a warrior, who seemed kind as could be…
She seemed to be a vision of kindness, if not a little inappropriate. Whom shall expect something bad of her? Not many, I tell. But one day when her party was travelling down a coast in ancient eden, she saw a cart of fleeing ghouls. The ghouls were fleeing because of a recent conquest of the party, yet the woman could not help herself. She got a few members of the party to do something horrible. She got some of the party to destroy the wagon and kill almost all the ghouls. Only one youngling remained. She took the child and made an assault on it, of some kind or another. But she was stopped by a hero of no remembered name. He shot her off the cliff and saved the ghoul child. But a portal was opened by the magik. It sucked in everything in the universe and very few living things survived. A new world was born. The remnants of the countries of the world where broken up, and phases in their timelines changed. Large parts of the cities were blocked into one country, Larisignom. The most advanced areas became one mass of intelligence. Becoming Laterbanntraver. The remnants of the coast became Lekot-Lepe, the islands of the swords. Members of the party survived, while the evil woman died. The warrior hero who opened the portal was trapped on the center island of Lekot-Lepe and traveled to the center of it. There was a temple with a scroll inside. On the scroll he tried to write his name, but since he had forgotten his calling, he merely touched the pen to the paper and was ascended to godhood. He became the god of that world, a vision of what all should strive to be, a hero of men, and monster alike. In the times in between the age of Unaek and the beginning of the twelfth, much happened. The ghoul population survived the explosion and confined themselves to the center of Lekot-Lepe with the god. He preached to them about freedom and what is just. He did this for one-hundred million years. The generations of the ghoul were many and they grew in kindness and righteousness. Yet they still hold a hatred for man, so the god spoke… ‘You need not be seeking the path of hate, As my kind has done. You must rise above oh great ghoul! Be better than those who hate you, and blessed will you be!’ The ghouls loved him so. They would worship statues of him, and hail him as a king. He enjoyed it so. But then, he had a vision. His brother, Unaek, created an army. In the vision he also saw a man with an orb of fire in his hands, laughing. The god knew who this was. An ancient one from the first earth. An unbridled evil. The god set out on a quest. He left his loyal gnomes to find his brother. He went through all the lands, found old friends, and made a map of the whole earth. He eventually found Unaek. An army was raised of gnomes. An army of small evil warriors. Time disruptors. Creatures of hate and evil. He declared to his brother that he should stop his conquest, but he refused. A battle broke out between the army and the god. Then, time turned against him. The gods of time began to fight the god of the ghouls. Then death happened. Before the first murder, there was no sorrow, but then death was born. Even the most ancient of the ghouls died. Only those young ones survived. Unaek realized that if death was real, he should ally with the one who created it. He realized he should align himself with his brother. The god realized he should not control death, so he took a trusted ghoul, and gave him more living traits. He became known as O'limning-O'zi. Death himself. He killed many gnomes. The god escaped to Laterbanntraver and battled the time dragons. It was a 12 year battle. He summoned many ghouls, the dragons summoned many gnomes. Once 1,000 ghouls had died he realized he had to finish it. He was able to permanently destroy a time dragon with a weapon that broke his oath to not cause death. Time froze there and few escaped. The god created a species to fight the wars other than the ghouls. He made an army of men. They populated all the earth. Then he gave the weapon with the power of death to Death. He then declared his allies warriors with the most severe powers. They became severe. The god then left to have his peace. |

The following is a speech by a priest on Insert Name Here's mortal form
| “ | Now, it has been known for a long time that it is most likely that Insert Name Here was a ghoul, but I WAS A TIEFLING, SO STOP BEING RACIST TO TIEFLINGS. | ” |
The real priest was later found tied up in a janitor's closet. It is unknown if it really was Insert Name Here or a shapeshifter pretending to be him.
