According to Ananke, in the early days of the Pantheon, they were in constant battle with the [[Great Darkness|forces of darkness]]. They always lost, except on one occasion, and this single victory indirectly caused the beginning of civilisation. However, once the [[saeculum]] was over, the next generation of gods returned ignorant, and lost as they had done before. They eventually won a second time, thousands of years later. They came to the decision that someone would need to stay to guide future gods, so Ananke agreed to give up her ability to inspire to assume this role. This resulted in her killing gods for thousands of years, presumably to stop the darkness. |

Later it was revealed that the entire concept of the Pantheon was created by [[Ananke]] and her younger version, [[Minerva]] as a sort of grand ritual that would allow her to prolong her life. This is accomplished by Ananke during the first "Recurrence" where after seeing her sister's discovery of the concept of "Godhood", Ananke figured out a method of where she would sacrifice four heads of her fellow "gods" to empower herself in order to thus then divide her soul into two halves, splitting her mind between her younger body and her original older one. Her older self would continue to live for the next 90 years until a new generation of children would be born, and a younger version of herself would thus also appear with them. Her Older body would then find the other "Gods" select a "Song" tailored to their specific weakness and select a "God" to [[Incarnation|Incarnate]] them as, that would take full advantage of their respective weaknesses. Doing this allowed Ananke to then take advantage of them as they slowly began to descent into their individual hedonism, selfishness and destructive impulses to allow her to subtly manipulate them and collect her needed sacrifices for her ritual, while using her younger body to typically deflect any suspicion from her by using the bodies young age to further manipulate them by taking advantage of their sympathies or have her younger body operate behind the scenes to avoid notice altogether. |
