like all things, it always starts at the molecular level. some claim a being either swung an axe or said a word maybe spontaneously it appeared but all the same, it began.
an essence of sort one with the mysterious properties of infinite possiblity flooded the universe it's origin unknown but with it came the lack of knowledge of what cane before.
beings learnt to harness power and use it to aid in Thier survival.
Mana, qi, blessings, power, magic, origin, force, Aura. it has been called many names as it has brought a form of salvation to the beings how have device a way to control it but like all good things too much of it caused the worse out of everything and everyone. those who are aware bemoan Thier fate but like addicts they sought for greater highs. using convoluted reasons and ideals they clung to Thier fix.

the plan was named mortal woe.
