"Different religions have different definitions of what the transcended beings represent, but one thing remains the same across all of Merrum. The history of the archdemons," whispered Ailre, a far away look in his eyes.
"In the beginning, there was only Arshahet, in all his chaotic might. Feeling lonely in the vast darkness of the void, he created his first son, Merciel. Merciel is accepted as the highest among the transcended deities, second only to his father. Together with his father's help, they began creating Merrum. Back then there was only one continent, with no living beings apart from them," he continued, tightening his fists before going on.
"Merciel grew bored of the empty world, and asked his father if he could create children of his own. Arshahet gave him permission and offered him power, thus the minor deities were born. For a righteous god, he was rather uncreative, for all his children were human," as Ailre said this he nearly spat in disgust.
