+==== Creation of Ulos (Dawn of Ulos) ====
+>//For untold eons, the mortal races lived in their separate planes, unaware of each other and ignorant of the many worlds beyond their own.
+Now the time has come.  Azema the Benevolent, highest god of [[dragon|Dragons]], forges the planes together with the rainbow flames of her breath.  A new world is born: [[ulos|Ulos]], the plane of unity.  She hopes sentient beings from across the planarverse will one day live here in harmony.
+As she toils, Azema opens rifts to other planes, drawing upon their elemental essence.  Armies flood through these rifts to fight over the newly formed lands.
+These battles have drawn the attention of other gods.  Curious to know which mortals will triumph, they gather over [[ulos|Ulos]] and place wagers on their favorites, assisting some as they expand their territory and hindering others.// - DoU
