Causes

Even the Titans are not confident in their understanding of where the Contest originally came from. The Contest was something from deep in their own history, lost to myth and legend. Beliefs about the origins of the Contest are as varied as the Titans themselves. Regardless of the cause, Titans are compelled to participate.

Major Events

All of the major events of the Contest involved a process called Consolidation. Consolidation events transformed the universe in numerous and profound ways, creating and destroying entire realms, shifting power among the Titans, and altering the course of the Contest.

These conflicts between Titans only rarely involved violence by the Titan's themselves. More commonly, violent conflicts involved wars between Primals in service to the Titans. However, the most common form of contest, was a symbolic proxy struggle involving Immortals and Dragons.
