The Fire Gods had ruled over and pillaged the Unending Lands throughout The Elemental Age (The Sixth Age), staging year long feasts in their volcanic palaces. In response to this depravity, the seas created Tiamat as a champion to overthrow the Fire Gods. Tiamat emerged from the seas with possession of the Tablet of Destinies that granted her dominion over the world.
She instigated the primordial battle instigated The Primordial Battle in which her and her eleven children intended to overthrow all the works of the Fire Gods and create a new age. The primordial battle was never completely resolved, but in the mythological stories, the primary encounter was a victory for Tiamat that ended the reign of the Fire Gods. Unfortunately, during that battle, Kingu was captured and killed. Tiamat retrieved his body and mixed his blood with the waters of the Forearc Basin and the clay of the Polonian isles to create the first humans. These men were to be Tiamat's minions in future battles against the forces of corruption. The priests of the Empire of Polonia claim these men as their direct ancestors and insist that the purity of their lineage is the most important factor in their mandate to rule the world.
The primordial battle is often viewed as the last event of the The Elemental Age (The Sixth Age).
