Darkness

  • The Light is born, and from this the heavenly bodies and Earth were made. Many Spirits, including Anum the Watcher, descend from Heaven.

    Anum steals Vril and the Watchers create the Ogdru Jahad. The Ogdru Jahad comes to life, it creates the 369 Ogdru Hem. The Watchers look on in fear and waged war against the creations, the first native life on Earth.

  • An unknown amount of time after the war began, the Watchers claim victory, they defeat the Ogdru Hem and the Ogdru Jahad is sealed away.

    The Watchers turn on Anum, tearing him into pieces and destroying all of them except his Right Hand.

  • Infuriated by the actions of the Watchers God banished many of the Watchers to the Pit in Hell, and others were stranded on Earth.

    Other lesser Spirits were left to become the first race of man, the Hyperboreans.

Hyperborean Era

  • After being cast out by God, some of the Watchers who were not sent into the Pit ended up on Earth.

  • The first three Spirits on Earth took form, each of them wanting to make amends for their part in the creation of the Ogdru Jahad.

    • The first landed in the forest and gave its spirit away to what would become the Dan-Undra, the forest people, the fairies.
    • The second landed in the sea, and those people became the Ud-Unda, the mermaids.
    • The final was filled with rage, and created the Nag-Unra, who was an agent of the moon goddess, Hecate.

    Eventually, the three species come together to form the first humans.
