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.

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.
