As eons passed the small groups of Celestials needed to increase their
numbers and so they gave rise to the Second Ones; a new generation of
Celestials with reduced power, but enabling wider scope. The Second ones
were told how they came into being - though these 'truths' were not always
the same when seen from different perspectives.
This is the story of the plane in which the planet we call earth resides.
The physical plane. This plane is fairly typical in that it is linked to
several other planes (Astral, Umbral, Dreamscape and Celestial).
Throughout human history, sightings of Celestials have led to various
human beliefs - calling them Angels or Demons, depending upon their
activity at the time. What makes the story of this plane so interesting is
the fact that a million or so years ago another group of Celestials
'invaded' demanding part control - due to the loss/destruction of their
own planes. They brought with them the few creatures that they could -
twisted, abnormal creatures. At least by the standards of our plane.
This is where the story becomes confusing, so we shall use human terms.
The native Celestials shall be called Angels, and these invading
Celestials, Demons. The demons seeded the planes with their creatures,
covertly at first, making immense gains before the Angels were alerted to
the invasion. The Umbra was quickly infested with Demon spawn and was lost
to the Angels, as was the Dreamscape. The Angels maintained their hold on
the Physical Plane with neither side operating within the Astral.
In a stunning tactical move the Angels gave up part of the Celestial plane
and at the same time littered the Dreamscape with their own creatures
(unicorns and other mythological creatures, that can now only be found
there). The battle became stagnant in all planes but one, where it was
fought the strongest - The Physical plane.
