  Chaos was one. To create the universes, it split itself into three. Gods were born. Two held their full share of the Chaos from which they came, creating all Systems seen in nature and the Will to power them. The Third, itself, splintered into many parts. Shards of that power existing, scattered among the universes. Small holes, running through levels of existence were made by the Shard's expanding path of travel.  It is these shards of power, which exalt the development and updraft of mortal life.
