War of Light and Shadow

"'Light and Shadow are forever at odds, for their battle will shape the course of the cosmos and lay down the foundations upon which others will walk and forge a new path.'"The War of Light and Shadow, also called as the Eternal War is the recurring conflict between the Celestials and the Defilers, a inert hatred of each other passed down from their respective creators (Therell and Eozur).

The Celestials were lead by the Primordial of Light, Eclios; the foremost among them aswell as the eldest in terms of birth. He represented all that was benevolent, his light racing to give heed to all worlds of his arrival. But his archrival, Dul'akor was the bane of his purpose and thus locked in such a conflict that it would shatter time itself.

The Defilers were lead (sometimes by force) by Dul'akor, the Lord of Shadow. Dul'akor was the lesser manifestation of the Great Hungerer Eozur, and thus possessed a unsustainable lust for darkness and a end to all living things. He was not however, without cunning and reason; as his abilities mirrored his arch-rival, Eclios.

The War of Light and Shadow began since their respective creations (Celestials and Defilers) and ended during the Battle of the Nine Seals, which sacrificed most of the Celestials's natural power to seal away Dul'akor and his minions, but at a terrible price. Eclios had died during the final battle, at the hands of his enemy. His sword shattered into a million pieces, and his soul was lost even to his brothers.
