Gods and devils
Lore- Demons, gods and the creation.
First, the gods were created of divine essence, and aside from them, only jumbled essence without form existed. Ilrin, greatest of the gods, understood that creation is not yet complete. And so the gods worked, what then had no name, but would now be a millenia. They gave form to essence, order to chaos. Creating the stars and the earth, the forests and mountains. organizing the essence into the great form, predetermined. Creating the world.
While creating, the gods essence mixed with that of the world. The mixed essence took form too, and mortals came to be. Many of the gods took joy in what came of them, changing them into what they wished, leading and teaching them. Some gods made new races from mortals, creating things like lizardman from lizards, and ogres from the giant. Prosperity came to the world.
Some of the essences, didnt just mix a little. For some of the gods, their whole being mixed with natural forces, changing them fundamantally. Those were no longer gods, but became spirits, and each were tied closely to some natural force. No longer beings as much as forces themselves, part of the lands. The greatest spirit became the four elements, the great forces at the base of all other nature.
The prosperity, meanwhile , lasted shortly. While some of the gods wanted to help and guide the new mortals, some sought to use and destroy them. Those evil gods became devils. Darkness was created, a contrast to the light. At first, each side tried to ignore the other, each keeping to each interests. But as races expanded and grew, conflict was inevitable. The celestial war ensued.
The war lasted ages. Heroes of each side rose, doing great deeds was echoes are still told. Each side learnt from the creation of mortals, giving form to the ambient divine essence that still flooded the celestial planes, creating angels and demons, agents and soldiers to do their will. Whole continents burned. Miuntains crambled, and lush plians became lifeless deserts. The spirits became startled of the conflict, and nature itself went mad.
No one knows this day what caused the end of the war, but at last, demons and gods alike retreated to the celestial planes, weakened. Since then, they have still taken to world, but rarely and weaker, and taking mortal like form.the war between light and dark hasnt ended, but from now on it was fought by mortal hands.
Many ages passed since, and many heroes lived, many stories were told. Yet the war is still being fought. But more than the war is fought on battlefields, claim priests and prophets, it is fought at the heart of the people. Each deed done, shifts the balance. For every person helping those in need, taking mercy, the light cheers. For every one preying on the need, living only for himself, the dark grows. And so will be, claim prophets, for ever and more, until all is good and light has won, or all is evil and dark has triumphed

Well, after what I have seen, I think I got too focused on the mechanics and not enough on narrative, and made mistakes in planning the quest. So I will close the quest for now. I have done some reconsideration of those things, and I start a new quest better. I will do some replannings on this too, so I could start it again, and better.
Hopefully, I will learn from this, and it will go better next time
