Legends from the Gods' War speak of the final battle between Arathan Lightbringer (sun god) and his brother Raidan (god of darkness).

Godsholme was the result. This land, including its inhabitants, is drenched in magic. Magical mutation among both the flora and fauna is common. In addition to humanoids (most of whom have inherent magical abilities), strange half-beast half-humanoid creatures dwell there.

Many arcane scholars consider a trip to Godsholme mandatory.
