There are two schools of thought on the origins of Antonidas. The First Order believes that he was one of the wizard's responsible for the creation of the world on the back of the great enworphant. The other sect, called the Quiet Faith, believe that the world was once part of a much larger sphere of land and water that orbitted around a star. The Quiet Faith also believes that Antonidas and the other ancient wizards created the towers and pulled the landmass that makes up the known world together during an age of devastation on this old sphere.
Antonidas faith has dwindled to a small number. Most who entrust themselves to Antonidas are wizards, teachers, and scholarly clerics that hope to harness greater knowledge and control of magic through faith. The First Order contains some scholarly druids who believe in protecting the sacred lands from any damage that could permanently erode the surface of the world. The Quiet Faith consists of more outgoing and adventerous individuals, mostly wizards and the occational bard, who seek out relics of the past they believe in.
The most important story to the Quiet Faith is that of the world's creation. The Quiet Faith believes that when the circle of mages convened and pulled the world from it's old foundations, it was to flee from the impending doom that had devoured the rest of the planet. Some of this corruption still touched the land that fled, corrupting one of the towers. The corrupted tower became sentient, and seeks to devour the other towers through it's control of negative energy. Because of this reason, the Quiet Faith often become hunters of the undead and other evil.
Another story tells the tale of a control room that controls the Enworphant, and drives the world in search of a new home. It is this belief of the Quiet Faith that most divides them from reconciliation with the First Order, who believes that this world is a divine creation perfect in it's own right.
