The Beginning
Long ago twin Celestial Gods came upon an empty world. Another Celestials abandoned world most likely. Taking pity on the abandoned body, the twins took the world under their care and decided to make it their own. They each decided to take their side of the planet and work on their own projects. It didn't take long for the twins to make the two main continents of Magirigon. It was a time of great change and experimentation for the twins and a great variety of life began to spread.
But, like most siblings, the two began to pester each other with their works. It was small at first, things such as changing the temperature or amount of water each other's continents were getting. Such actions are evident by the massive forests of the Vulpirin continent caused by great rains sent by the larger twin and the deserts of the Celesoar continent caused by the smaller twin heating their twins continent. It has never been known who did what first or who started the 'pranks' but it soon escalated.

Gods Chosen
When the twins went from pestering to fighting, they each created a sentient species. The larger twin created Celesoars and the smaller created Vulpirins. Which one was created first has never been known and has forever been fought over. It wasn't long before these much smarter creations were then used to bother the other Celestial's works in much more complex ways. Neither Celestial was happy with the destruction of their works and so a new way of dealing with disagreements began.
The Twins created a third continent together and chose specific Chosen Ones to act as their avatars for disputes. These were often done through battles but sometimes debates. This way of settling things was chosen by the Twins as a way to minimize damages to each others lands and their new children. For a time there was a semblance of peace between the Twins again, but eventually there was a dispute so large that The Chosen could not settle it and failed. As such, the Great War began.

The Great War was a terrible time of many battles and many deaths. Battles were often fought on the third continent but would sometimes spill onto each Twin's personal continents. Almost all battles had the Celestial Twins fighting above their creations fighting, high in the sky and often covered by angry clouds conjured by the two Celestial's rage. During these times there were more Celesoars and Vulpirins specifically chosen by their creators to fill specific roles, such as healers for gods, commanders for their armies, blacksmiths for the gods and armies, and many more.

Sacrifice for Peace
The Great War rages for generations before the Twins creations soon grow tired of all the fighting and a group separates from the Twins armies and attempt to pull more to their side in a search for peace. The gods knew of these groups but were so blinded by Rage that they did nothing and continued their fighting. This proved disappointing to the peace seeking group but allowed them to gain many followers.
During a great battle upon the third continent the peace seeking group climbed the highest point of the mountain and shouted, chanted for peace to the gods. Their Rage was so blinding that they did not hear their initial pleas, so the Celesoars and Vulpirins combined all their collective magics and cast a spell into the sky and toward their creators. It broke the clouds hiding their creators and seemingly broke the Rage blinding them. But, it was not enough to break their Rage and in retaliation the two gods attacked their own creations for the first time, shattering the mountain into two and killing many of those that had speaking for peace. The war below had stopped and the world was silent as the Twins creations stared at their gods in shock.

Teaching Trees
The silence and realization of what the two had done finally broke the Rage of the Twins. They were silent and unmoving, looking down upon where so many of their own creations now lay dead due to their own actions. They had sworn to not directly attack their twins creations and never had attacked their own creations. No ones knows what went through the Twin God's minds that day but that day was the day the gods went dormant. The two gods decided to go dormant and became the Twin Portals, A massive tree sitting atop the cracked mountain that is actually two tree twisted into one.
This tree is impossible to burn or break and at the peak of each part of the cracked mountain is a portal. These portals have the will of the gods who made them and one is for Convergence Species to enter and one for leaving. These portals do not allow evil or concurring oriented species from entering the Twin Celestial's world and the leaving portal will call to any species that tries to cause great damage to the Twin's world.

Start of a New Age
The gods can sometimes still speak to their creations from this tree but as far as any Celesoar or Vulpirin can tell the gods have decided that they want to stop interfering with their creations and do not wish for a repeat of the Great War, but still need Celesoars and Vulpirins to learn and so have invited Convergence Species to help their creations and for their creations to work together over fighting against one another any more.
It has only been 500 years since the gods went dormant and the two species still fight fairly often and tend to blame each other for the Great War and the Gods leaving them, but change has been overtaking the world slowly but surely.

Lore Tidbits
- Because the gods are twins, twins are held in high regard and considered a blessing.
- Descendants of God's Chosen live in the world of Magirigon. Some hold such titles with pride while some may want to hide and move past them.
- The call of the portal to leave will start mild before affecting the Convergence Species in such physical ways that it can potentially lead to madness/death.
- There is rumor of the gods having left a message before they went dormant but this time is fuzzy on the timeline of both species.
- Both species tend to blame the other for the start of the war and for the end of it and their gods leaving them.
