Forces

The universal Forces are numerous, but not infinite. The two primary Forces are Creation and Entropy, but there is also Balance and Destiny. Creation and Entropy are irrevocably intertwined with each other, similar to being two halves of the same coin. Balance is said to be the child of them, but it is more accurate to say that Balance is the Force that was created to bind them and ensure that neither gains the ability to overpower the other. Destiny is a Force outside of Creation and Entropy.

Creation
Creation is responsible for the creation of the Celestials, the Higher Gods, the Lesser Gods, and, along with the Celestials, the aulds. She is also, along with Entropy, responsible for the creation of humanity.

Entropy
Entropy is responsible for the formation of Void, a Celestial equivalent. He is also, along with Creation, responsible for the creation of humanity. The Higher God equivalent, End or Mayat, is also associated with him and Balance.

Mayat
Mayat, or End, is known as Entropy's champion and his harbinger of the end. She has an extreme hatred of the Lich-Lord and his undead because of how they eluded their end. She is often incorrectly associated with death and evil.

Balance
Balance is often simplified as the child between Creation and Entropy, but the truth is more complex. If Creation and Entropy are the two halves of the same coin, then Balance is what gives the coin its shape and keeps one side from bleeding into the other. Balance forms the veil that separates Celestia from the mortal plane, yet permeates all throughout it.

The Schism
Knowing that Balance separates Celestia from the mortal world, it was the target of attack from the aulds when they sought to rise up against their gods for favoring humanity over them. It was Balance that stripped them of their immortality, which led either to their deaths or to their transformation into the modern elves.

Destiny
Destiny is a much less understood force than the others. It is everywhere, yet none can pinpoint exactly where it exists. Some say that it is the counter-Force of Balance, but it is not widely believed.

Destiny is credited with choosing the sun celestial to bear a Child of Destiny: the Phoenix.
