Turrux was one of the two titans formed by Ra-Orn to create the world. Turrux formed the lands and sea and filled each with minerals and resources usable to Ra-Orn's creations. Once Ra-Orn formed nature and sentient races, Turrux was charged with overseeing the land and oceans. To aid him in this, Turrux enslaved two of Althum's elements to watch over the earth while Turrux gave the sentient races the knowledge of his minerals and resources. These elements, however, sought to seize the world as their dominion, multiplying rapidly and fighting with one another in the forms of earth and water, causing storms and natural disasters to occur as they battled for the Material Plane. Infuriated, Turrux banished the elements and elementals to the Elemental Chaos, where they continue to fight their sibling quarrels.

Turrux then formed Barrundin to watch over the commerce and agriculture of the sentient races and Alamah to keep Barrundin from destroying the non sentient worlds of nature while he guarded the Elemental Chaos. It is said that Turrux then severed the ties between the Elemental Chaos and the planes to watch over them for eternity, being only able to return through Ra-Orn's wishes.

Barrundin and Alamah have an agreement to each take turns slumbering within the earth while the other prospers. Barrundin created the season of summer and fall for the growing season, allowing the sentient races to reap the harvest of the non-sentient world while Alamah created the seasons of winter and spring to allow the non sentient races and water to reproduce and grow.
