-Chaos is not Entropy, with only the power to unmake, as it was formed around a seed of creation. It could not unmake the Titans or their gods because it was against its very nature. What rose from those who had fallen were now twisted and warped distortions of their former selves. The fallen Titans, now calling themselves [[Devils]], still had the power of creation - but everything they created was malignant and vile. The gods who fell, now called [[creatures:​Demons]],​ were twisted by Chaos into monsters with no desire but to destroy and devour.+Chaos is not Entropy, with only the power to unmake, as it was formed around a seed of creation.

 In the farthest reaches of existence, where the light of creation rarely touched, is where these creatures lived. Lust, hunger, desire, retribution,​ and anger drove these creatures to the brink of madness and in that madness they sought salvation. In the center of existence where The Creator once lived lay power, the heart of Krynan was still there - its beating pulse calling to its children. The Devils fell upon the heart and consumed nearly all of it, which granted them power beyond the gods and nearly the equal of the Titans. With this power they tore existence asunder and sought to remake it in their image; however, they did not have enough power to destroy all of creation. In the farthest reaches of existence, where the light of creation rarely touched, is where these creatures lived.

 As these [[Shadow Realms]] were were created by each existence, as they moved closer to the one existence they more closely matched that existence, while were influenced less by the other. Imagine a single tree with two large lights on opposite sides. The shadow cast by any single light was strongest on the exact opposite side of the tree, while the closer it got to the other light the less the original'​s influence. The area directly around the tree was the most in conflict with either power which surrounded it. Inside the Shadow Realms lived tiny bits of life - neither god nor dragon, but each one a shadow of the power that created it. As these [[Shadow Realms]] were were created by each existence, as they moved closer to the one existence they more closely matched that existence, while were influenced less by the other.

-The Shadow Realms divides the Infernal from the Divine and will do so until this existence is made whole or consumed by Entropy. Those from the Infernal or Divine cannot enter the Shadow Realms without risking their own destruction,​ but because the Shadow Realms are fashioned in part from them, they can project a small amount of themselves into it. Through these [[creatures:​Avatars]] they can still wage war with each other for control of this in-between Realm.+The Shadow Realms divides the Infernal from the Divine and will do so until this existence is made whole or consumed by Entropy.

 ===== Miranda ===== ===== Miranda =====
  
-Miranda is just one of many worlds inside the Shadow Realms. It's sun is the prison of [[Mir]], a powerful Celestial Dragon, and although the gods can not longer reach Mir they still watch over her. Before the gods were able to trap Mir inside of her prison, she gave birth to a single [[creatures:Empyrean Dragon]]. The gods fashioned a stone prison from the elements of existence and set the daughter to circle her mom for all of eternity. The gods called this world Miranda which means "Of Mir" and while a few of the gods watched Miranda, the rest of them guarded her mom's prison.+Miranda is just one of many worlds inside the Shadow Realms.

 It is for this reason that Miranda is considered a very important world to all sides of this conflict as each battles to either contain or unleash the power of both dragons. It is for this reason that Miranda is considered a very important world to all sides of this conflict as each battles to either contain or unleash the power of both dragons.
