"In the heavens, where God and his angels abide, there exists the records of life and death..."
According to the book, the world had once been a place filled with light and darkness alike.
Back then, humans had existed all over the world alongside everything else god had created.
However, an incident occurred that changed everything.
A group of powerful angels descended onto the earth and began procreating with humans to birth powerful, twisted beings called the Nephilim.
They also created twisted, profane life forms, defiling the earth and going against the Divine will.
They taught men how to create fire. They taught them the secrets of alchemy and metalwork, as well as the art of divination with the stars.
Most importantly, they had taught them sorcery.
In their ignorance, the angels had incurred the wrath of god. The Divine Will ultimately decided to punish the earth and mankind with a great disaster before turning its eyes away from it.
