The beginning of everything. The creator of the world. Catna is the oldest and most powerful goddess. But she is not cruel or unkind.

After she created the universe and the stars and the planets and all the intricacies of Existence, Catna found herself wandering one of her planets one day and for the very first time ever she saw another creature.

Her reflection.

And for the very first time ever she felt a loneliness, and wanted to share her creation with another of herself. So she reached into the water's surface and pulled out her reflection but… it wasn't her.

This goddess was smaller. Weaker. Dazed, confused, and unaware of the world around her, like a newborn. And so Catna embraced her first child and called her Adma. Adma filled Catna's creation with Magic, and therefore received the title, Goddess of Magic.

Catna went on to continue to experiment with her creation, and soon made three more gods.

Phoena, Goddess of Purity. Made of the purest light, Phoena discerns what is and what is not of Catna's creation. She was the first to determine what is a rock, what is water, what is a river, what is a world.

Emis, Goddess of Knowledge. Made of crystals, Emis was the first to ask about the world. To seek out and learn about it, about how it worked, why it worked. What was the difference between one rock and another? How were they made? What happened when you hit them against each other?

Tasmus, the God of Fertility. Created from the Earth itself, Tasmus was filled with energy and vitality. He showed Catna the depths of the physical body, passion and emotion, and together they had three more children of their own.

Gohmir, the God of Life.

Zauna, the Goddess of Death.

Bermir, the God of Unity.

And from there the family continued to grow. And the world was filled with so many wonderful things. And Catna loved her family and she loved her creations, and her children's creations, and every new thing that came to be.
