According to the allegorical story recounted in the Lore Book ''[[Lore:Unveiling|Unveiling]]'', the Vex originated as patterns in the "[[flower game]]" played by two beings known as the [[Light|Gardener]] and [[Darkness|Winnower]] in a primordial "[[garden]]" that existed prior to the creation of the known universe. Every instance of the flower game would end with a single, self-sustaining pattern emerging and dominating the entire grid of flowers. This was pleasing to the Winnower but irritating to the Gardener, who desired that the game produce endless novel patterns instead. | According to the allegorical story recounted in the Lore Book ''[[Lore:Unveiling|Unveiling]]'', the Vex originated as patterns in the "[[flower game]]" played by two beings known as the [[Light|Gardener]] and [[Darkness|Winnower]] in a primordial "[[garden]]" that existed prior to the creation of the known universe.

When the Gardener and Winnower began to war with one another, initiating the beginning of the universe, the patterns from the flower game escaped into it. In the initial hot state of the universe the abstract patterns existed as quantum fluctuations, before eventually creating a more stable substrate for themselves in the briny seas of the first worlds to form in the universe, the radiolaria. This was the origin of the Vex as they would later come to be known, and from this point forward they were driven to once more totally dominate the reality they found themselves in, though operating on "outdated" rules that did not account for the [[paracausality|paracausal]] powers of the Darkness or the Light. | When the Gardener and Winnower began to war with one another, initiating the beginning of the universe, the patterns from the flower game escaped into it.
