Originally, they were only 10 gods created the World. Each god gave it his kindness with the secret hope that the Elemental Dragons would give birth to sacred dragon eggs called Dofus. Indeed, gods were praying for their disciples to be the first ones to lay hands on a Dofus (and why not the six of them) as the popularity of such a hero would bring his god some reflected glory. And as it is commonly known, a popular god attracts crowds of followers and therefore increases his powers.
