### The Lost Epochs

The existence of The Eldest God remains shrouded the mystery of a world long forgotten, often relegated to a mere fairy tale within the grand tapestry of legends. The question of his existence continues to echoes through history only through fragmented records. His very existence wavers on the threshold between myth and reality. There is a single solitary scroll, an artifact from Jenjara that survived the fusion with Earth. One of a few scrolls that once rested within the Halls of Words-a city sized library protected by one of the Goddesses of Jenjara. The scroll, which now rests within Halls of History (building in InterCity) and offers a glimpse into this ethereal being's potential existence. Even within this lone reference, doubt seems to linger, as the scroll's author also seems to struggle with The Eldest God's existence.

Embedded within this scroll is the recounting of an Nameless Acolyte, a link between mortal and divine, a servant, who communed with the deities of Jenjara. This deity, who is not mentioned by name, as the Gods were often prone to drunken rants and the Acolyte spared their name from the record as to avoid trouble. The scroll offers one of the few rare glances of life of a God who lived on Aughtgaia. The Acolyte recounts the story of this nameless deity, who told a story of when they were a child, a few hundred thousand years old but in the span of a god's existence-still a child. They recall a time when one of the wiser and older gods was teaching them and offering guidance and a string of questions led to this god into taking the children down through the dungeons of their ancient city and further still into the caverns of the world and down further still into a ancient temple carved out the rocks that held up the world. A stone sanctuary deep within the labyrinthine of the world of Aughtgaia. Here, with the depths of the world, the caverns walls bore witness to the touch of the primordial gods. Markings and carvings made from chiseled rocks that lay at his feet and remnants of fires long gone out that provided the carbon that made up the drawings on the walls. A mural as ancient as existence itself, adorned the stony canvas that stretched hundreds of feet into the air. Every scratch and brushstroke a testament to the divine hands that sketched out the blueprints of creation. He recalled even a smudge of burnt and wet ash that had fossilized and the gods hand was so massive that their thumbprint could be made out. These intricate designs were whispered to be the earliest expressions of intent, the embryonic dreams and nascent plans that would unfurl to become The World of Aughtgaia, a realm where fantasy would intertwine with reality.

Though history has viewed the the origin of The Eldest God under a cloak of uncertainty, this document, a journal—imbued with the memories of an Acolyte—stands as a link to a time when gods orchestrated the birth of worlds within the quiet depths of a forgotten cavern, leaving behind a legacy etched upon the very stones of creation. Contained within that scroll is the only record of the time before the gods began to sing songs and stories of their own history. Five billion years of existence relegated to handful of sentences.

### Brief Lineage

A being known only by accounts to the gods of Jenjara. A being that lived and existed even before their lives began. Known as Father or The Creator or as a nameless entity often hailed as The Eldest God. This being emerged into existence five billion years in the past - quite simply at first as a small spec of light, no larger than a grain of sand. For countless epochs, this spec of life and energy floated aimlessly in the cosmos - the void between universes, he witnessed entire universes born, collapse and give birth to new celestial bodies. As time grew, his power grew and he eventually managed to teach himself how to manipulate gravity and time and he found his way to a young solar system in time to witness the final days of a dying star. Having witnessed the event countless times before he knew the process and knew that this stars destruction would scatter the elements of what would one day become a new star, worlds and possibly life across this young and currently empty solar system.

Still as a simple spec of light he allowed himself to be captured by the star in its final moments of life. This star then collapsed and soon exploded, birthing at its core of what would eventually evolve into a fully-formed solar system. Another genesis unfolded within the heart of a dying star, as The Eldest God infused his vitality with all the basic elements within this the vacant star, birthing radiant light and comforting warmth into the cosmos. He gave form to himself and from the remnants of shattered worlds that had experienced both life and demise before his emergence, The Eldest God embarked on a profound undertaking: not only the creation of worlds and life to come, but the begetting of his progeny, the creation of his godly offspring, each bestowed with a unique name and gift, power or attribute.

With a shared purpose, the progeny he engineered embarked on their own existence. Together, they conjured colossal beasts that would stride across the nebula of dust and particles that would one day become worlds. They watched as their father, a divine architect, molded worlds from nothing. Amidst the kaleidoscope of nascent planets, these godlike beings found places to call their own, where they would take root and etch their stories into the very fabric of existence.

As the cosmic ballet unfolded, The Eldest God, in his boundless wisdom, apportioned the planets among his numerous offspring, bestowing upon them the divine mandate to craft and cultivate their own worlds. Hundreds of his children laid claim to each planet, embracing the task of nurturing their respective domains in accordance with their individual visions. Thus, the planets became canvases for their creative aspirations, realms where their godly essences intermingled with the raw energies of creation to birth magnificent landscapes, thriving ecosystems, and civilizations both awe-inspiring and intricate.

He granted his children autonomy in selecting their abodes. The ambitious gravitated toward the grandest planets, the cautious journeyed to the distant worlds, and those seeking approval clustered around the smallest planets, nearest to the star of his birth. The annals of these worlds' history unfold as expansively as any saga ever recounted. Heroes, villains, legends, and deities lived out their tales in these realms, some narratives spanning lifetimes exceeding humanity's entire existence. Yet, these worlds, their histories, their names, cultures—all have dissolved into the mists of time, fading into obscurity, leaving behind only faint echoes of these once-vibrant domains.

Amidst this abyss of forgotten worlds, however, persists a lone tale—a poignant legend that resonates, a remnant of a world named Aughtgaia and that of The Eldest God.

### The Progeny of The Gods

The Eldest God had emerged as the architect of his own reality. As the planets took form, he embarked on a journey of solitude across their terrains, bearing witness to their birth through the throes of earthquakes and tempests. Time and again, he witnessed these celestial upheavals. Great storms from within the earth that would shape the landscape under his guidance and sent forth stones from the heavens, laying waste to creations he saw unfit until finally he rested. The storms subsided and the ground settled and The Eldest God sat and admired his design.

For eons, he wandered this young solar system, for eons he stood still and watched the shifting sands at his feet and the stars paths in the cosmos. But in his solitude, a desire stirred—the yearning to bring life and meaning to the worlds that lay dormant. Drawing from the essence of his own being, he wove the fabric of life from the very elements that surrounded him. Stone, ice, water, fire, air, and earth intertwined within his grasp, merging into sentient forms that would become his children. These godly beings, each bestowed with a unique aspect of his own essence, became the embodiment of his dreams, bestowed with life to carry forth his legacy and create worlds and lives of their own making.

With care and intention, he christened each of his children with names that resonated through the cosmos, gifting them both identity and purpose. These offspring, birthed from his own life force and gifted with his elemental attributes, would go on to fulfill their roles as stewards of the planets. United by blood and purpose, they would spread across his expanse and no further, breathing vitality into the worlds and nurturing the tapestry of creation that The Eldest God had woven with his own hands.

### Lost to The Ages

Having birthed worlds and bestowed his legacy upon his children, The Eldest God retreated from creation's helm, resolved to sit back and witness their paths, their triumphs, and their journey across the ages. He watched as they waged wars, nurtured life, and brought down empires on whims.

Upon the final mural observed by the nameless god and whose story was inscribed by an Acolyte. A portrait of The Eldest God standing on the fringe of the solar system, on a barren and ice covered world that none of his children claimed. His gaze was drawn to the void beyond, an enigma that beckoned to him. The answers to questions he never asked. Were there kindred spirits like him in the vastness before him? What mysteries shrouded the distant stars? Then, like a breath of air, he vanished—relinquishing his realm, leaving behind its control to his progeny. The light of the solar system began to dim, setting all on its current heading toward an unknown fate that awaited both gods and mortals alike.
