The origin of the various planes and worlds is a matter of dispute. What is commonly believed, however, is that the current gods ruling the Prime Plane are latecomers who defeated the previous rulers and destroyed them or drove them from this plane. The gods eventually turned on themselves and a great war broke out (often called The Gods' War) for dominance. It is thought that as the various powers of the battling gods collided and interacted, the various races and creatures that now occupy Veras were created. In an apocalyptic “final battle”, the gods nearly destroy themselves. Realizing their folly, the gods cease their war and take a more indirect approach to achieving dominance. The battle continues to this day, largely through the use of minions, pawns, and elaborate schemes.

The gods are worshiped in deference to their power and in an attempt to curry their favor. Worship of a particular god is usually based on their philosophy and portfolio of power. Many individuals worship more then one god, or at least pay lip service to them. The gods value worshipers as a way to further their own agendas, and devotion and dedication can be rewarded with the granting of powers, wealth, or even divine intervention.
