# [[The Age of Gods and the Just War]] >Preceded by: [[The Age of Darkness]] (-200) >Succeeded by: [[Peace of Aurora]] (0) The story of the [[Church of Sol]] starts with flourishing kingdoms, each more devoted to [[Sol]], god of the Sun and civilization. The reach and might of these kingdoms, as well as their increased need for natural resources, put the humans in conflict with the long-lived races. Some tell that [[Vile Abaddon]], the god of darkness, united the gods of all the long-lived races and pitted them against the humans. When [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]] killed [[Saint Luna|Luna]], god of the moon and Sol’s wife, the sun god rallied the human kingdoms and their minor gods under a single banner to declare war against [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]] and all other races. For the next 200 years, the Just War reaped both gods and mortals. As the armies of [[Sol]] accrued victories, [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]] would find dark alliances with forces of ultimate chaos and destruction. Seeing themselves in a losing battle, the gods of the long-lived races turned against [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]]: First were the halflings that joined Sol to protect their families; then the elves forfeited their magic to the humans; The gnomes gave passage through the dark forests, while the dragons cleared the skies; and finally, the dwarves opened their halls for the armies to march into the [[World Below]] to confront [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]] in his own lair and end his evil once and for all. Gods of all of the races joined [[Sol]] in this final battle, and as a desperate [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]] was about to unleash an ancient titan of destruction onto the world, [[Sol]] was given the power of the other gods to bind [[Vile Abaddon|Abaddon]] with the titan in the core of [[Kamuria]]. Hurt and exhausted, [[Sol]] returned to the world above, and although he lamented the losses the war caused, his followers celebrated the new alliances between the humans and the long-lived races. Looking at all the destruction that his Just War caused, [[Sol]] appointed one of his descendants as the first emperor of the [[Empire of Light]], that would unite all races under a single flag to avoid another war. With his last efforts, [[Sol]] left the material world, to be somewhere he could watch over all of the world.
