Origins of the World

Since its creation, the races of the world have pondered a single question: Where did we come from?
There is a single story which has gained popularity in the minds of the common folk of Leomoth. It goes as follows:
Countless Eons ago, the Gods were born. The Night Keeper was the eldest born of the gods, for before any other life, the possibility of death must exist, even for gods. The Night Keepers cold breath gave way for the void of space. The Celestian arose, and for thousands of years soared through the sky, leaving a trail of stars as he flew. The light of these stars grew into a new god, The Bright King, who spread their warmth, bringing it all to a single point, which would eventually grow into Farathia. The power which was required to do such a thing gave birth to Phariel. The Bright King gave life to this world, and others like it, but it would quickly wither away. Seripha arose, bringing water and air to the planet, allowing life to prosper. 
The Bright King and his fellow gods looked upon creation, and felt joy in what they had built. This joy created The Luminaire. She gave birth to the first race of mortals, the eldest: Humans. The Humans were a simple people, who struggled to simply survive. Their determination to survive created Kaysenant, who in turn created the Dwarves and Orcs, both strong and prideful. When the first fire was snuffed, Zeal arose from the Ashes. Zeal created the Elves, lithe but fierce, like flames. The Bright King, satisfied with the world, gave his final contribution to creation, The Halflings, whose hearts would be fulfilled by the warmth of the sun. The races of the world championed the ideas of their creators, but each sought freedom from those who would rule over them. This desire gave form as Dranath, who, hoping to inspire the rest of the races, created the Goblinoids, Gnomes, and Murin, each living life free in their own ways. Finally, Phariel, long silent in their home among the stars, gave a gift to this world. With a single touch, Phariel bestowed the ability of Magic to the world.
The first Mages were of legendary proportions, said to be capable of feats which rival that of the gods. It is said that these incredible mages are responsible for the creation of other Planes of Existence, though it is also said that this act ended their lives.
