Over eighty thousand years ago, the gods created the Grand Design against the objections of the Elves, [[Gnomes]], and the other species. The gods' refusal to listen instigated a great bloody war that drew in other worlds and pantheons. In the end, the Gnomes killed the few remaining gods by binding the current and future inhabitants of [[Innworld]] with the idea that "the gods are dead," which prevents them from even comprehending the word "gods" without the context that they are dead. Without a source of worship, the "surviving" gods were trapped in [[Kasignel]] and left to starve and rot.<ref name=":0">[[Chapter 8.80]]</ref> While the dead gods could feed on the souls of the dead, they lost their forms over time and became shadows that could be warded away by stronger souls.<ref name=":1">[[Chapter 8.11 E]]</ref> Still, over the centuries, ghosts became increasingly unwillingly to cross back to the land of the living in fear of being eaten.<ref>[[Chapter 6.47 E]]</ref> However. with the arrival of [[Earthers]], people from another world with knowledge of gods and religion, six of the dead gods regained their forms and a semblance of their power.
