Chapter 5 - THE OTHER GODS

After the creation of all things in existence—after the rise of realms, races, and the war of primordial gods—others began to stir.

They were not born of the Hierarchies, nor shaped by the original gods of Creation or Destruction. They emerged from the residual echoes of divine essence scattered across the Outerverse.

Some called them mythological gods. Others knew them as the Olympians, the Titans, the Sky Lords, or simply:

"The Other Gods."

The Catalyst: The Great Dissonance

A cataclysmic event, known as The Great Dissonance, shattered the balance of the Tree of the Outerverse. This event was caused by a colossal celestial collision between two fundamental divine forces during the endless war between the Peacekeeper Deities and the War Deities—an event recorded by the divine archivists as the FGL.

This rupture in existence echoed through reality itself.

The Awakening

From this chaos, ancient slumbering deities awoke. Forgotten forces, long dormant beneath the layers of time and space, began to stir. Their presence seeped into creation. Planets trembled. Time blinked.

And so they came—The Other Gods—each bearing their own dominion, will, and mythology.

A new war brews.

Between the ancient gods of the Hierarchy, and the awakened pantheons of myth.

Between order… and belief.
