 ### Creation
 
-In the beginning, The One Beyond created three goddesses out of the endless nothingness --- the twin sisters Nydia and
-Dysthia, goddesses of Light and Darkness, and Etra, goddess of World. The twin sisters both coveted domain over Etra,
-and waged a bitter war, bringing about the light of the stars and the darkness of the void, creating the universe. As
-they sparred over eons, their wounds shed their essence and, merging with that of Etra's, created the planes, including
-the material plane which is considered to be Etra herself. The war between the sisters also brought forth the Etran
-pantheon --- darkness and light combining chaotically to produce divine concepts of Sun, Moon, Life, Death, and so on
---- countless immortal forces that govern the universe.

+
+### Civilization
+
+There is no agreed upon definition --- or even guess --- of the age of the world, or life on Etra. Modern scholars
+believe there are at least one hundred millennia of empires rising and falling that have shaped the world, but this is
+as much a guess as any previous attempt to estimate the age of Etra. This belief holds that in those lost ages multiple
+progenitor races native to Etra gave rise to great civilizations and further peoples before disappearing from the record
+of Etra, be it by gradual decline, war, leaving for other worlds, or so on. Little is known about these races other than
+the undocumented relics and ruins left behind.
+
+The oldest known history is owned by the elves and dwarves, both ancient races in their own right. They shaped the lands
+above and below long before humankind rose to prominence, and in a way shaped the ecology of Etra itself --- their vast
+cities and dungeons have become part of the world's genetic memory, and it naturally spawns weird dungeons, corrupted or
+blessed plazas, and the like. The living world creates not just flora and fauna, but also grand towers and abominable
+strongholds.
+
+It is claimed by some that an immense magical calamity brought about by the elves and dwarves brought Etra --- both the
+world and the goddess --- to the brink of annihilation, with this corruption its/her only chance at survival, but both
+races' leaders and scholars vehemently reject such slander.
