The lords considered it quite an exciting event, this act of creation, right up until the moment of its completion. Then the reality of it tore at their power, forever reducing the powers of the Lords of Chaos, taking from each a portion of their passion and power. They decided to destroy the construct and made war on it.

	To detail the wars of Paragon is the effort of centuries. For millenniums in chaos war raged on the construct, eventually even '''''[[Entropy]]''''' came against it, cutting a swath of non-existence across Chaos. In a mighty battle three things occurred.		To detail the wars of Paragon is the effort of centuries. For millenniums in chaos war raged on the construct, eventually even '''''[[Entropy]]''''' came against it, cutting a swath of non-existence across Chaos. In a mighty battle three things occurred. The warlike instinct developed in Chaos during the wars against Paragon.

	The first was that a young and powerful sorcerer caused a creation of permanence, a contradiction of Law and Chaos, to manifest with the aide of the Primal Creature known as the Serpent. The Logrus manifested and '''''[[Entropy]]''''' reeled away against it, throwing his full might against Paragon in reflex.		Several major occurrences happened during this timeless period.

	~~Second~~ was ~~'''''[[Entropy]]''''' taking~~ a ~~bite out~~ of the ~~edge~~ of ~~paragon, severing~~ the ~~inscription causing~~ the ~~permanence of Paragon~~. The ~~Breaking of Paragon caused Hariswiee to go mad for a time, from which he never fully recovered. It also stunned~~ '''''[[Entropy]]''''' ~~so horribly that~~ it ~~was unable to defend itself~~.		*The first was that a young and powerful sorcerer caused a creation of permanence, a contradiction of Law and Chaos, to manifest with the aide of the Primal Creature known as the Serpent.

	~~Lastly sorcerer lords of chaos threw all~~ of ~~their might into a construct to multiply~~ the ~~power of a Artifact of Creation, a tomb. The vast swath~~ of ~~non-existence was drawn within the tomb~~, ~~encased by~~ the ~~powers of creation~~ and ~~the death curses of~~ a ~~million sorcerer lords~~ of ~~Chaos~~.

The Breaking of Paragon caused Hariswiee to go mad for a time, from which he never fully recovered. It also stunned '''''[[Entropy]]''''' so horribly that it was unable to defend itself.

	Paragon began to unravel. Though it took ten thousand years, pieces of the edge of Paragon were broken off by wars against it, adventurers, treasure seekers and ~~deathwalkers~~. Hariswiee fought valiantly but when only 100,000 miles of the inscription remained ~~in tact~~, when only one of the 9 sides still held, the last corner was broken. Then the final 100,000 miles crumbled away to shards in a day. Hariswiee went into a coma, swept away by followers to a long convalescence.		Many sorcerer lords of chaos, newlyy empowered by the new Logrus, threw all of their might into a construct to multiply the power of a Artifact of Creation; a tomb. The vast swath of non-existence that was '''''[[Entropy]]''''',was drawn within the tomb and encased by the powers of creation and the death curses of a million sorcerer lords of Chaos. The wickedest Lords, who eventually became the Abysmal Lords, surrounded it. '''''[[Entropy]]''''' was moved within the tomb and sealed, hopefully for all time.
