In the beginning was the Universe and it found its melody good, but it was alone and in this was there was discord.  Over the eons this grew until finally in a great chorus of discordance, the Universe Shattered.  The new Eon found a Multiverse, some great, some weak, the harmonies were strange but they gloried in themselves, over the new Eons the Verses found, in themselves that there were notes forming staffs, keeping to their own kind. And so were the Titans “born”.
     The Pyr-staff Titans were repelled by those of the Hyd-staff and vice versa, the four major staffs, withdrew into their own, creating their own music among their own.  Those who did not were shunned in turn, driven to make their song out of the Eth between the staves.  The Eth could be summoned and worked with little more then a thought, but would not stick with out it.
That of the staves could also but it required a greater one to summon, and the working was harder, but the form lasted much longer, it was discovered that what was made when seeded with a judicious dusting of certain other staves, became even more lasting, almost immune to random thought.   While this was helpful if the seeding was too great the Substance became too difficult to separate, this was discarded as useless. The places of waste grew, were shunned, and ignored, but over time even the most stable Substance changed, all to soon the escaped matter found its way beyond the bounds, the Ethereal winds blew on the dust of the mounds slowly contaminating the less visited lands.  The Stave Titans were horrified at the taint, but the Great Ones soon discovered a solution, the Foolish and cowardly Ethereal Titans had learned to hide their lairs in pits between the bars of the staves.  They had made Holes in the walls of being itself, holes to nothingness beyond the known.  This did not bother the Eth-titans, as their Eth wind blew in filling the nothingness.  The true Titans, used these pits to dump the taint and the tainted Substance, destroying the delicate lairs inside, many Eth-titans fled the violation of their homes some remained, of those that did some discovered a secret unknown to the true Titan, that the power gained by the link to matter did not require control.  Some grew quite strange in their lairs, soon the greater titan and there crew finished their cleanup of the staves.  And the Eth-titan began to return to the lair, the returnees were startled to discover that the introduction of tainted matter had caused the lairs to expand to an absurd degree the more the matter, the greater the expansion to an exponential degree.  The returnees discovered also that the matter had stuck to the “walls” of the lairs, and that the Eth-titans that had remained were either hiding in the great open spaces or had vanished. It was later discovered that the missing Titans had attempted an uncontested link to the incoming tainted matter and had lost even the ability to control their own bodies.  This had forced them to meld with the matter they had attempted to control; while they had lost all the control of a normal titan they had gained enormous power.  One who was called Gaia gained powers undreamed of among titans but could never leave the circle that her new body drifted, around the site where the best friend of her husband Chronis, this friend Sol had given everything to defend what he believed then was her burial place.  They found they could communicate, and finally learned to communicate with the other Titans, Gaia learned to create a crude temporary form when her husband came to visit.  This lead to a surprise when the first child was born after they rejoined on his return from outside, the child who she named Zeus was not a Titan he was a being of more Form Then Substance, His Father was horrified and attempted to kill it as an abomination, but Zeus had inherited some of his Mothers new powers and disappeared into her form.  Gaia was horrified her self at her husbands actions, but was even more horrified when she continued to give birth, most where far less powerful then the first and she had no more control then the first surprise, Chronis killed them with no mercy

When Zeus and the others drove him away ...

Thronespace was created, one of the Great Fortress crystal spheres created by the Gods during their war with the Titans.  It was the Battle Command Headquarters, of the armies of the gods, during the series of conflicts often called the War of the Great Ones [some unknowing call this the War of the Gods, but that came after the Exodus].  The central star was the skull of the slain Gargantuan Titan Chronos, the major planet of the system was called the Throne of the Gods, and it was made from the largest other whole piece remaining of his body, his left foot.  This planet was the citadel of the fortress, command of the great fortress, central war command, and the location of the actual seat on the High Battle Throne in the Throne-hall.  This command was passed each year from one greater god to the next, and each new moon of the great High Dock-yard of the Battle-mounts, the War Commander chose a single lesser god to act as the Lieutenant War Commander, Arch-general of the Citadels, and Master of High-dock.
     Near the end of the War, there arose a disagreement between the Gods, whether to wipe out the Titans as a race, enslave them, create for them ghettos and reservations, or simply accept a surrender, the gods began to find themselves for the first time sorting into divisions in this disagreement, one major group some who took pleasure in others pain, others who simply felt no pleasure and had little understanding of it, wanted to continue.  The other large group felt no pleasure at the war and simply wanted themselves their children, whether created of Body or Mind, safe from the predation and fear of the Titans.  The War Commanders began to go their own way, depending on their bent in the disagreement.  It happened that the purposes fulfilled by one commander being completely overturned by the next, it even happened one commander found himself in such disagreement with his Arch-general of the citadels and the Generals of the citadels that She was imprisoned, for her complete year, throwing the entire Army of the Gods into turmoil.  Finally it came to pass that the gods made one last battle agreement they abandoned the Throne of the Gods and Thronespace, knowing the trouble ownerless relics can cause, when they banished themselves they allowed the Throne to heroic mortals, though not those born of the of the planet.  Over the Eons people arrived and some managed to take their place on the Throne, one who achieved command of any of the generals citadels of the planet, in the citadel became a demigod in that citadel, able to command the servants and minions of it.  Only the one that found and took the Throne Citadel, and the High-dock Citadel could do more, they were as demigods anywhere
On the planet, and if holding the fealty of a master of another citadel, became as lesser gods in the citadels, under their sway.  If the holder of the Throne holds the fealty of the master of High-dock citadel he becomes as a greater god in the citadels and a lesser in the lands under his sway, while now leaving the planet the holder of the throne remained a demigod anywhere in throne space. The last and current Holder of the Throne of the Gods was the Great mortal The Nameless One, Army-slayer, Child and mortal enemy of the Nihilist Ship and Greater God from a far continuum.
     One of the things that the Great fortresses the crystal spheres share is a relative immunity to the astral and ethereal storms, as I have spoken to the our new master the Great Mortal Larch, the master of the new planet Reflection and holder and lesser-prince titan of the Throne of the Elements, the storm that savaged parts of the Multiverse was a result of a last ditch effort by some of the last great prince titans to hide in the part of the Elemental planes called the great waste, the unusable morass formed of tainted Substance, and wild Thought during the desperate Eons of the war they hid themselves
In the waste and as did those enslaved by the Evil and Lawful Gods, and rescued from death by the Good and Chaotic, the Titans adapted, as the ones called astral titans, and those planitaurs, and solaurs, the Titans became there own kind the Faery, the planes known as the Faery planes were in truth a staging area in a move to regain their influence in the planes that the Titans had first created.
