The Dawn War

The primodials, discontent with the world they created, decided to destroy it in the hopes of starting over. They were driven to create perfection, and cared nothing for the world or the life on it. The gods wanted the world preserved, and waged war against the primordials. The gods were eventually able to drive the primordials back to the elemental chaos, although it was at great cost to the natural world itself. Many gods and primordials lost their lives in the war.
