According to a transmission which [[Sam Jones]] received on [[Anathema]], that may have been influenced by [[Faction Paradox]] propaganda, the war began when [[Rassilon]] first opened a [[black hole]] in an attempt to draw power from other planes of existence. The black hole reached through to [[Spiral Yssgaroth|an inhabited plane]], and monsters with great leathery wings and bat-like heads swarmed through the opening.

According to ''[[The Book of the War]]'', the Yssgaroth escaped into [[Spiral Politic]] during the [[anchoring of the thread]]. They destroyed the machinery responsible for the anchoring, creating the [[caldera]].

According to ''[[The Thousand and Second Night]]'', the djinn survived the destruction of their world "before the first time"; the "[[caldera|cauldron of creation]]" also survived from this "world before the world", and [[Rassilon]] filled it with an infinite black emptiness in which he could dissolve the current world and create a new one. [[Iblis]], the leader of the djinn, wanted Allah's power for himself, so he convinced the djinn to help him steal the cauldron and bring it from [[Heaven (afterlife)|Jannat]] to [[Hell|Jahannam]]. Allah formed his [[Time Lord|angels]] into five [[Chapter|great tribes]] and many [[Great House|smaller tribes]] and sent them to defend the cauldron.
