War of Sige: Aeons, Angels, Archons, Couatl and Aboleth
Much is debated about the origin of this world, but central to the beginning of most myths and histories is a great war between the Absolutes and the Archons, and the role that the Celestials and persons of this world played in that war. Long before recorded History, the Demiurges and the Archons occupied the same realm, that realm is now commonly known as the Astral Plane, also known as the Plane of Souls or simply Sige, as the plane itself was sentient. The Archons controlled a sphere within that realm known as the Pleroma, a sphere of pure calm and tranquility. These two factions were locked in an eternal cold war, until the Demiurges made a move. The Demiurges found another realm, the realm in which our world resides, and found it occupied by lesser beings, beings they felt would be excellent tools of war. There is much debate over whether these beings were sentient when the Demiurges invaded, or if they were merely animalistic shells ripe for the taking, but in any event, the Demiurges invaded this new realm, subjugating its current inhabitants and using them as slaves and warriors and shields and even, on the rare occasion, entertainment.
Inhabitants of the cosmos of Sige, the Couatl, aligned themselves with the Demiurges from the onset of this war, lead on by their leader Totec. However, there was a dissenter among them, Kpactli, who would steal secrets from the Archons and relay them to the Nemeses, and would be punished for his transgressions by being transformed into the first Aboleth. The Couatl stole the secret of planar traversal from the Demiurges, discovering how to use the Ethereal Plane to move between realms. This would be instrumental in the war as they guided the Demiurges into the Material Plane to battle with the Archons and would cement the association between the Couatl and the stars.
The Demiurges fought back in a more arduous way, undertaking an endeavor that would cost them some of their power and take much longer than simply stumbling upon a race of persons they could enslave. Using fragments of their power, they created the Gods as their own warriors, advisers, smiths, and artists. They marched with these Gods to the material realm to take on the Archons in a battle that would end their cold war once and for all. Many were slain from all parties, Demiurges and Archons, Person and God, and when defeat seemed inevitable, the Archons attempted to turn and flee. Unwilling to allow their mortal enemies to escape and regain their strength, the Archons wrapped their bodies around the Demiurges and turned themselves to stone, imprisoning them for eternity and leaving behind the Gods and Persons as byproducts of the war. Their bodies, turned to stone, would become the planets, chiefly among them Sophia, whose body imprisoned Ylembica.
The Gods were left behind along with the blank shells that fought for the Archons. The Gods still contained fragments of the Archons and maintained their divinity even beyond the imprisonment, though those mindless shells were not so fortunate. Some Gods, whether it was through love or pity, took those shells in, breathing life into them through the help of Sige, who gave each God an allotment of souls to give out. Many Gods concentrated the energy given to them into powerful souls for few shells, Humans were made, with comparably weaker souls, but the numbers to overcome that disadvantage.
Though many rejoiced at these new creations, which offered new ears to listen, new mouths to speak, and new hands to create, there were many still who despised these new creations, as robbers of divine energy that belonged to the Gods, preferably them. Now, they vie for their souls for power and influence. There were other remnants of this war, the holes through which the Demiurges entered this realm and the Archons and Gods followed them left rifts open to the Plane of Soul, still visible in the night sky as stars.
However, it later became known that the Demiurges had one more trick up their sleeve. They, through Kpactli, stole the knowledge of how to create a God from the Archons, and used fragments from each of the remaining Demiurges to create Seht and unleashed him upon the world and along with him the Curses and Chaos that he brings. A last-ditch effort to dole out some punishment on the lifeforms that the Archons left behind.
