The followers of the Pentad believe that Primus the Amalgam the first being to exist willed themselves into being. Primus is often referred to as the "Singularity", or the "First" in religious texts. They existed as a singularity, a single point that contained everything, until a deep internal conflict occurred when Primus questioned the nature and purpose of their own existence and unable to resolve the conflict tore themselves apart.
The pieces of Primus expanded to form the planes and five unique entities coalesced from the fragments. Each of these entities embodying one of the core aspects of Primus’s Nature. These entities are known as The Pentad.
Awena: (Good)
Azaf: (Law)
Neneg: (Evil)
Valravn: (Chaos)
Yael: (Neutral)
The Pentad crafted the stars and spheres from the scraps that remained of the being Primus. During this process the Pentad create the Astral Leviathans known as the Inani to serve them and perform tasks they considered beneath them. The Inani grew resentful of their creators and believe themselves superior to the Pentad. A war broke out between the Pentad and the Inani that lasted for many millions of years. In the end The Pentad managed to kill or imprison the Inani. The Pentad vowed never to create another entity that could ever threaten them again.
For a time The Pentad walked the material plane in physical avatars, and from the bones of the slain Inani they created the first of the humanoid races. Each of the Pentad chose and elevated followers in their name to tend to the spheres and their peoples. These chosen few became known as the Demigods, each wielding a tiny sliver of power over a unique aspect gifted to them by their creators.
