Mythology

At the beginning of time, four were tasked with creating life, but only 1 succeeded. Clouded by jealousy, the other 3 swore to destroy his creation. He knew that in order for life to truly be safe, even he himself must lose us. He hid us on a rock, and cast the rock as far as he could. Alaars believe that Humanity has become corrupted, and the only way we can save life is to become enlightened by fulfilling our task of balancing life and keeping order while we await his return.
