Battle for the Pantheon

The Battle for the Pantheon was a great war that took place between the Gods. Tyius, the son of Aplotl, and other conspirators in Tyius' Pantheon, overthrew Aius and the order of the Old Gods and took their place as the Greater Gods as a result. Tyius took Pymera, the daughter of Aius, as his prize and allowed her brother to live at the plea of his new wife.

The war, and the resulting tears in the planes, caused great devastation on the mortal plane as creatures began to wonder through the rifts and get trapped in the middle plane where they were warped and twisted into beings that feasted on the spirit of mortal creatures thus extending their own life. However, these rifts allow the mortals to feel the presence of the Gods and they often erect shrines and temples at these sites.
