The Skopere had ruled over the Sleeping Mind for millennia uncounted. The sole possessors of the power of creation, The Lords of Creation wandered space and time, fertilizing once-empty worlds with seeds of life. This They did as one, unified in Holy Vision and Purpose. None led, None followed. Thus it was until Forrae, The Covetous One, sought to create life independent of the Holy Vision. For he falsely believed that his own vision was superior to that of the other Lords.
While The Lords of Creation continued to realize their Holy Vision, Forrae wandered the Sleeping Mind, searching for a portion untouched by his kin so that he could bring his False Vision into reality. In this way he discovered the primordial world of Verden. Unlike other worlds in the Mind, Verden was not dormant. A great ocean raged across all its surface: Evig, The World Sea.
