Cosmological Views
The divines under Lord Ao created the universe. And the seven Archons each granted gifts to the Arch-Races, the Saurids, the Elves, the Humans, the Dwarves, the Halflings, the Gnomes, and the Orcs. The orcs were cast from grace when they began worship of Gruumsh. The other races were birthed from one of the seven divine races.
Archon Hominid Primus is considered by the Imperial Cult to be the distant relation of Theoi Corneliai and thus all Emperors. This archon is also considered by the Imperial Cult to be the Highest Ranking of the Seven.
