The God of Order, Zephyl, was slowly perishing. His brothers and sisters were already gone. Turned to stone when their souls descended into the depths of exile. The time had come for him to create a world of peace and righteousness for someone to remember Him and the others by. In order to maintain peace and order, he created his people with different credibility and roles for the world. They were divided into five grexes. They were given roles to care for the world he created in exchange for them to live normal lives and to preserve the powers he bestowed upon each grex.

The Caeles', who are the jewels and saints. They maintain the truth and law of Zephyl. Residing at the Land of Sacratus also known as Castus.

The Exemplars, who are the finders. They protect the people's rights. Residing at the Land of Praesens.

The Infernums, who are sinners. They are the strength and power of the people. Residing at the Land of Orcus.

The Feras, who are hunters. They are in charge of the animals around them. Residing at the Land of Bestia also known as Vis.

The Hollows, who are the healers. They are in charge of protecting the nature and heals the sick. Residing at the Land of Natura.

Each of these grexes must choose a leader to remind them of the roles they were given and to maintain order. Each grex had their own monarchy to establish boundaries from their neighboring countries. However, there was one section that did not belong to any of these grexes; a section dedicated to one known as the Sacratus Prince of All with His loyal servants. That was Being and the Keepers. Both resided in the Sodieux Sanctuary in the Land of Origo. Being was the only one who can see the prophecy written by Zephyl and his brothers and sisters. The Sacratus Prince was both an oracle and warp manipulator. He did His tasks in the Sodieux Sanctuary where the statues of the Gods and Goddesses inhabited. Being was in charge of all the grexes and was someone who Zephyl's visible light and mark chooses every two centuries. Before those two centuries were up, the light would reflect on the mystical swirling pond -Novus pond- in the sanctuary and would reveal the location of the next Being (before they were born) to be sought out and groomed. The only requirement was being male.

The five Chosen Keepers were strong and influential entities who served under the Sacratus Prince in the sanctuary. Each Keeper must be a pure blue blood from different grexes; a mighty representative of each faction. Their task was to protect Being, to preserve the worldly laws, and to punish citizens who would break the law. Their punishment ranged from soft to intense physical and mental pain, depending on the crime committed.

When Zephyl was settled with his creations, he formed his remaining powers into a crystallized ball of starlight that chooses the next Six Descents. Who were the Six Descents?

The Six Descents were the Keeper's descendants either through heritage -if insufficient or worthless- or random participants being chosen with a prowess that's capable of defeating a descendant -The Amoveo Battle. Since there were five Keepers, each Keeper must have chosen remarkable and deadly six Descents under them. The Descents were the third most powerful creatures to lead the subkeepers. Subkeepers were minor soldiers under the Descents, and they lived in groups of every grexes commanded by their assigned Descent leader. They served as the military unit in each faction. They reported everything to their designated Descent, and the Descent reported back to their Keepers. The Six Descents were highly regarded for they were the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin of the Keepers.

Being once asked, "What law would be so grave that it would ruin the entire laws of the world?"

Zephyl replied with a faint sound, "The Zeignz Protocol. All grexes are equal and in good terms. This is a law that states no faction should infiltrate other territories which are not theirs unless permitted. That could also mean a mixed species. It is a law that should never be taken lightly. For that punishment is death. However," Zephyl's voice suddenly boomed throughout the sanctuary, "Never condemn those who do not deserve it."

With those last words, Zephyl perished and left the world to Being's hands. Zephyl's state now resided in the Sodieux Sanctuary and His last words were engraved on the Holy stone along with His and His siblings' sturdy statues.
