However, the forces of law were losing, so either at the behest of the other gods or of his own initiative, Tharizdun sought out a weapon that would destroy the primordials. Somewhere in the universe or somewhere within himself he found the one thing that could corrupt and pollute the primordial's source of power in the Elemental Chaos - the seed of evil.  Deprived of large part of their power, they primordial forces faltered and then were lost.At first, the gods didn't fully realize the evil in the seed - they were desperate and just happy for a win.  But as Tharizdun gazed into the Abyss, he was corrupted and driven insane.  Learning how to siphon a great part of the corrupted elemental energy into himself, he increased his power by a terrifying degree.  However, the combined might of the gods was able to stop him before his power became too great.  Some gods sought to destroy him outright, but, because of his connection to the seed of evil and the Elemental Chaos, it was believed that destroying him could result in the destruction of a greater part of the universe.  So he was locked away instead.The implantation of the seed sent shockwaves throughout the cosmos, allowing evil as a metaphysical concept to take root.  Some gods found it to be useful, so they embraced evil to varying degrees.  It also gave others, such as Asmodeus, the ability to conceive of murder and deicide.  So, in my PoL world, the fall of Tharizdun was the great "original sin" and has many similarities to the biblical Fall of Man.</blockquote>
