[edit] Chaos of the Gods Cycle
- As the parentage of these deities was just as important as their nature in deciding who and how they would fight, both Bane and Scipios quickly adopted a pro-Lamoth stance in the war. Once again, the two cosmic factions were at a stalemate. While Tyrael became the deity of the light and magic, Bane became the deity of the dark and magic. While Viva became the goddess of life, Scipios became the goddess of death. Now, instead of one entity on each side, each side now sported three units of power. The war was beginning to grow.
- The stage was thus set for the next stage in the war. While Vayria created a new race, this time of her minions as opposed to deities, called the Elves, her child Viva brought them to live after every engagement with Lamoth’s forces, and Vayria's other child Tyrael used his white magic to splinter the Asset into two, the new plane being called the Overworld, where Vayria planned to dwell temporarily until the Overworld could be further purified and splintered.
- Meanwhile, Lamoth was not to be outdone. He commissioned his converted Bane to build the Underworld from part of the Tessa directly opposite the part from which the Overworld had been separated, while Scipios killed off Viva's ressurected minions and thus established parity between the two forces. Finally, Lamoth himself corrupted the Elves—Vayria's design—as fast as he could, which was half the rate at which Vayria could produce her minions. Hence, after all this time the two sides were still about equal. Meanwhile, Vayria and her supporters left the Asset for the Overworld, while Lamoth and his faction left in the opposite direction, for the Underworld.
- By now the war had become one of who could do the most rather than who could defeat the other side (a "cold war"), though of course the latter was always extant. Vayria thus commissioned Tyrael to extend a portion of the Overworld into Aether, where she could live in virtue. Lamoth, upon discovering this intent of Vayria's, also had Bane rip a part of the Underworld to form the the Abyss. In time, both projects were completed, and as Tyrael stepped into the Aether, Bane stepped into the Abyss. The Aether was just as small as the Abyss, being a part of a part, but it was of a certain nature that made its physical dimensions infinitely large and thus made those within it easy to get lost. Vayria had no trouble, because she could always make threads to get herself out if she became lost. However, when Bane entered the Abyss, he failed to consider that it would be the opposite of the Aether, namely, it would be negligible in dimensions, with the capacity to shrink and entrap within itself an undefinable amount as he continued. Thus, Bane fell into this pit, and was therefore trapped inside it for time eternal, unable to escape the plane as an entity. Instead, Bane had to house the creatures of the Abyss and could only communicate with his twin, Scipios.
