== Creation Myth ==
My name is Aurelius Zeff, the protector of Bann’onn, a small whaling village on an Island off the coast. I lived my life as anyone should. I cared for my friends, loved my family, forgave my rivals and built a home to be proud of, a home worth protecting. 
One day when I was out whaling the weather was foul and the god’s whims must have been wrathful that day. For they sent a wave, bigger than the tallest mountain on Bann’onn, straight towards the tiny Island to seemingly wipe it off the face of existence. 
In an act of desperation I turned my small boat and headed straight on before the wave. I wasn’t driven by rage or the lust for glory or the pride of trying to best a divine being’s whim. I was driven by the deepest feeling someone could have, love. Love for my home, those rivals I forgave, the friends I cherished and the family I raised for they all would surely perish under the armageddon. 
So I gripped my harpoon and I sailed directly into this beast of a wave and gave up everything I am to protect this beautiful, insignificant village. I gave up my body, the strength that I built my home with, and I gave up the memories of my wife, my friends, my family. They all became strangers passing in my dreams. I gave up everything down to my soul to spare this Island and to stop that beast from taking it away. 
And now, as the shepherdess takes me, I can only hope that my sacrifice is enough for the unfeeling gods to notice and spare this small village, this small insignificant village. 
My name is Aurelius Zeff, I am a Mortal, and I am no more.
