Church Of The Holy Sacred Grove/Library of The Holy Sacred Grove/Book 1: The War Between the Gods

During the Golden Age of the Humans, an Evil manifested itself in one of the minor gods, a creation of The Holy Father. This god saw all that the Humans had done and looked on it with anger. Believing that by destroying the Humans He could help to save what Elune had created in the form of the Elves and Nature, He sent a terrible plague ripping through the land. Elves themselves were immune to this disease, but Humans had no defense against it. For every 3 humans that walked the Earth, 1 of them would fall to this plague.

It was a time of great sorrow, but the Humans could not mourn for long because from the corpses of their dead rose something even more terrible. Undead creatures and monsters now walked the Earth with the Humans and there was not enough room for all 3 races. The Holy Father looked on this with great sadness and decided to rally the Humans and help lead them to victory against these horrors. The god who had created these creatures, Azrokan, declared war on the Holy Father claiming that He was attempting to preserve what the object of His affections Elune had created. The Holy Father however declared that Azrokan was just a power-hungry fool and looked to the Human kingdoms to help Him destroy Him. And so began the ancient war between the two gods Azrokan and The Holy Father.

For years the Human kingdoms fought the Undead and monsters but to no avail. Their enemies were just too numerous and with each passing day the Holy Fathers grip on the earth grew weaker as the Earth was ravaged with the plague. Elune's heart was torn between helping Her love or protecting Her race. By not warring with Azrokan She ensured that the Elves would be protected in their ancient forests, but forsook the Holy Father and the Humans. Her hope was that she could avoid a war and keep her people from seeing such terrors.

The war continued like this for 10 years until finally Azrokan who had now taken three quarters of the earth was stronger than the Holy Fathers. Knowing this He sought to destroy the Elves and replace them with His own creation, the Drow. This was the last straw. Elune rallied the Elves and together with the Holy Father and the Humans they fought Azrokan and His legions. Although it took 50 years, Azrokan's minions were reduced to but a few and Azrokan Himself was imprisoned and cast into the pits of Hell for all eternity.
