The Firey One saw his essence working it's magic upon the world, and was content to know that the Eternal Flame would continually strengthen and test the land and it's creatures. However, he felt that all was not right. As if the will to evolve had suddenly been touched by a will to decay. But even had it not, the mere suggestion that Akhen's Pure Flame might be corrupted or explioted was utterly unnacceptable.
And so he worked his will and shrieked flame upon the stars. And this fire gathered into the great constellations of the gods, where from it took inspiration and became a spirit within each. Some, like the flame within the constellation of Ravien, became two or three spirits. Or, as within the constellation of Bolunn, one spirit suddenly multiplied into tens of spirits.
He called these spirits Djinn and gathered the strongest of them, placing them upon the world with the charge "Guide and Guard the Fire. Do not let it be usurped, destroyed or weakened. Grant your aid to my children when they come. Let no will to decay ever conquer the will to evolve. And let no weakness ever tarnish the glory of my creations!"
However, each of these Djinn uopn the world heard this charge differently, as their personalities were already colored by the constelations who inspired their creations. Nerael, who was born within Mellivora's constellation, saw this as a charge to nurture, protect and groom the coming children. Whereas Azrael, born Volorr's constellation saw it as a charge to take care of Spiritual aspect of Fire and also the Spirits of those mortal children of Akhen who would die. Even Raziel, born of Ravien's constellation, heard it as a command to understand all aspects of Fire in order to best care for and sustain them.
Of all these Djinn on the world only Shaitan, the single Djinn born within Akhen's own constellatiion, heard the message with purity. Therefore did Akhen name him as the Highest Djinn upon the world, whose word was contradictable only by Akhen himself.
Those Djinn who remained in the stars were next gathered by the God of Fire and he named them Watchers. He tasked the watchers with observing all that occured upon the world and informing Shaitan of all pertinent happenings. He then tasked them with informing him at once of any occurences which might threaten the Fire or it's children or any of the many forces it had spawned. He told them to inform him also of all that Shaitan was being told and of any corruption upon the other aspects of the world which could potentially threaten his creations. Lastly, he spread the Watchers evenly across the constellations and had them organize their efforts in accordance with their new homes.
