The Gods that first reigned during Dramoor's first age were entirely benevolent and good-aligned. The peoples flourished and expanded across the world. Sadly, this led to Dramoor becoming unbalanced in the eyes of other gods that called the outer planes home.
A great rift was opened by an unnamed event which allowed evil to seep through Dramoor's crystal veil. A mighty war was waged by the invading evil on Koanda and her god-children. At the conclusion of the war, several evil gods remained, embolded by followers. These evil powers are dominated by Drea, the god of madness.
