The '''Dawn Wars''', also known as the '''War of Light and Dark''', are the endless conflict between [[Tñarilu]] and [[Náiluv]], the [[Primordial Spirit|Primordial Spirits]] of light and darkness, for control of space. They began c. 55,000 BME, with the emergence of time at the end of the [[Great Erosion]], and have never ended. Their ebb and flow produces day and night on [[Dalel]]. The Dawn Wars are not fought in Dalel, and neither side can win.

== Etymology ==

''Dawn Wars'' is the common name. In [[Tivayi]], the language of the spirits, they are called ''Daveldúl'', "the dawn war".

=== The Great Equilibrium ===

The balance between light and darkness is known as the '''[[Great Equilibrium]]'''. It is often described as a scale that constantly tips one way and then the other. When light gains ground, it is day on Dalel; when darkness gains ground, it is night. ~~Dawn~~ and dusk ~~mark the moments when the balance turns~~.

The balance between light and darkness is known as the '''[[Great Equilibrium]]'''. It is often described as a scale that constantly tips one way and then the other. When light gains ground, it is day on Dalel; when darkness gains ground, it is night. As the scale tips, the boundary between light and darkness sweeps outward from the center of Dalel and back again, bringing dawn and dusk.

Neither side can win. Each advance by one is followed by the other's return, and the struggle has continued without pause since time began.
