According the the legend, before time began, the Universe was ruled by a mysterious creatured named Sir Hubris. Sir Hubris was not a Gorg; in fact "he was only half the height of a Gorg and not even a hand width in girth." The short and skinny Sir Hubris was unhappy, for he wished to see and explore his realm, so one day he put on his brown, hooded traveling cloak and set off to wander through the Universe. But before leaving, Sir Hubris gave his crown to King Gorgus the Great, the first Gorg king. Since then, the Gorgs have ruled the Universe. However, if Sir Hubris ever returns, the crown must be turned over to him and the reign of the Gorgs will be over. The Gorgs would pack their things and be forced to wander the Universe, indicating that there is more to the Universe than shown.
