Creation
The Valari were created by the god of valor Brevaldi to assist the other good races in ending The Great War. The valari very much resembled modern humans, albeit larger, stronger, and universally good. They were succesful in defeating, however, the Valari were genetically disfigured by disease in a last ditch effort by the evil gods to succeed.

Before being wiped out, the Valari were corrupted into the race of the Ogres by the god of war, Maul. The plague resulted in the remaining Valaris downfall to humans.
