#origin myth

This state of creation lasted for many ages, until the Spirit Realm became truly endless in its expanses. However, this state could not continue indefinitely. One dream, in this age of boundless imagination, was different than the rest--the dream of Mortality, of impermanence. No one truly knows who or what conceived this dream, but it was so powerful and profound that, when made real by the Dreaming, it spawned the third and final realm--the Mortal Realm.

The creation of the Mortal Realm came with many wonders: Galaxies and solar systems, stars and planets and moons, and our world, the world of Nairos. A new age of creation began, one where spirits traversed the realms and wandered this strange new world, leaving it shaped and changed in their wake.

It is said that spirits of flame and stone burrowed into the world's core and created land from the flow of their magma. Spirits of the wind and sky took the vapors from volcanoes and filled the sky with breathable air. The Queen of Storms brought down the first rains, filling the oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. The Lord of the Sun and his siblings, the Morning and Evening Stars, calmed the harsh rays of the sun and stars so life could foster. Spirits of nature filled the oceans and lands with plants, and bestial spirits bred the first animals.

The world was brimming with life, but aside from the visiting spirits, sapience, the ability to think and reason, was not found. The arrival of humanity changed this. Like the realm we inhabit, no one knows who or what spawned the first humans. There are many origins for humanity; some that tell of powerful spirits molding the first people from clay or stone, others that say humans evolved independently of outside interference, and some even claiming the Dreaming itself created humanity, that we were the last dream made real.

In any case, this much is true: The world of Nairos fostered us, and we flourished in turn; Growing and spreading and quickly coming to rule this world of ours.
