People of the Old Empire believed that the whole universe was made by powerful beings called Builders. Builders were not part of the world like gods were - they lived Outside. Little is known about the Builders themselves. The priests of the Empire weren't quite sure themselves about their names. Some were universally known, though: Mawëdel the Ruler or Peterëm the Writing One were the most popular of the ever changing list of Builders.
The Builders understood very well how difficult it would be for them to manage themselves every prayer made - making the Universe work was already a time-consuming task. So they created gods to help them in their task.
- Most of the gods we know today were already popular in the times of the Old Empire, like Mostrai or Lythander. Others changed names as time passed. Gods provided their powers to the Faithful Ones, and helped them by providing blessings and powerful weapons. The priests of the Old Empire never believed gods made the world, as they were themselves part of it; world-building was the Builders task.

===The Foundation of Scorn===
- Few archives remain from the times when Scorn was founded. The city is probably the oldest of the whole known world. Before Fido, before the Old Empire, maybe even before gods, Scorn was already there.

- It is usually said that Scorn was founded by [[skud|Skud the Great]]. Many legends are telling about Skud, the half-mythical hero. How he captured the first dragons. How he fought unknown monsters in the East. How he built [[world:Scorn]] and the First Inn. Some priests even postulated that Skud was in fact a Builder. Skud created the First Inn because he wanted to sleep inside a house, without the risk of being attacked by monsters during the night. He left the Holy Guestbook, one of the oldest relics of Crossfire, where he and his fellow friends wrote their names. Skud disappeared long before the Old Empire came, and nowadays only the Builders can probably remember him.

Recent researches show that, although he greatly contributed to the popularity of the city, Skud didn't found it: it was in fact created by Tabb the Dark, a Builder that left very little information about him behind. According to the Codex Skudensis that was discovered in the depths of the Old City, "Scorn" would have been the real name of Tabb the Dark.
