History
As one of the Supreme Divine, Aedrem has a long and storied history.

The Dawn of Time
When the Seven Before Time stepped out of their Crystal Cage to behold the universe around them, they could behold nothing. All that there was in the universe was merely black. He created all of the lights of the heavens, with him being the greatest of them all- the sun.

Resurrection of Chrysos
Big dumb dragon man was all like aah I'm dead and Aedrem was all like- oh no!- and he made him better.

The Demon War
One of the first things Covinex did when he returned to the material plane was find a way to remove Aedrem's light from the sky. Through dark magic, he managed to move one of the moons into a permanent position in front of the sun, casting the land in permanent darkness. The Demon War raged for many years, with the Supreme Divine unwilling to remove the rule that they were unable to step foot on the material plane.
