Once, there was the Void, infinitely empty. Then, three godlings from a dying universe appeared through a portal. They were Kaï-den, Illia, and Zhao-Kahn. They were children in their own reality, but even children there were more powerful than gods as we knew them. But the inhabitants of that reality had grown complacent, and could not defeat the swarm of Elder Horrors from the Outside who consumed their entire reality.
Only these three godlings had the foresight to escape, and they brought with the a seed of power. With this seed, coupled with their own combined power, the three divinities ignited a new universe into being. Zhao-Kahn used his raw power to generate the evolution of the new universe, creating matter of all kinds. Illia used her knowledge and abilities to stabilize and order all the energies released, laying down the laws that all of existence shall abide by, and creating the Mana Flow. Kaï-den breathed in the first spark of life, and created the first soul, and living creatures slowly came into being.
Once the groundwork was laid, the three Creator Gods removed themselves from the Prime Material Plane. As the Material Plane was one axis of reality (the other being the Omphalos of Realities), its stability was paramount, and the gods' presence disrupted it too much. They each withdrew to an Outer Plane closest to their essence, where they could reside safely. From their new homes, they continued to watch over the Prime.
To continue their ongoing work on the universe, the gods created three new lifeforms. The first were the Celestials. Known as the Host, they were to be the prime agents of the gods. They would intercede on the gods' behalf on other planes of existence, primarily the Prime Material.
The second were the Titans. Colossal beings with golden skin, they were created to be the prime architects of the universe. They would continue the gods' work on the Prime, shaping stars and worlds.
The third were the Fey. Beings of magic and nature, they were created to be caretakers, ensuring that everything developed smoothly after the Titans finished creating.
A four type of creature emerged that was not part of the gods' plan, but who were pleased to see nonetheless. On many new worlds, giant reptiles were some of the first creatures to dominate the land. Many of them fell into giant pools of raw Mana, and emerged into magical beings. They became known as the Primordial Dragons.
The Primordial Dragons were intelligent and powerful. Virtually immortal, they continued to grow, reaching immense sizes. In tandem with their physical growth, so did their intelligence and raw magical power. Vast flights of dragons soon traveled between the burgeoning stars.
All four species worked together to bring about the will of the gods. Soon enough, Kaï-den's greatest work was completed, and the first mortal sentient races emerged.
