Eclipse

#### Creation Myth

“It is believed that the universe simply was in the beginning, multiple deities that existed in a void that was barren of everything. Near all of them went off to create their own realms, **Fahmeis** and **Ahnätos** worked together and created the **Lönithorst** and **Erstethorst** first, to be their home. Following this they created the patrons and spirits who they had helped create the world of the **Mänschenthorst**, and populated it with many creatures and the like. Over time they saw it needed something more, and so they created their last addition to the world, the **Niedene**.**” -Saint Arminius** [1574 ASC]

For **Ahnätos** ’ part, he was split into the component parts of **Solaris** (who represented his stability and refined emotion) and **Ichvoras** (who represented his wrath and raw emotion). **Solaris** would come to inherit the role of Greatest of the Gods from his shattered whole, watching over the **Eclipsahn** people in general and **Eclipsahn** practitioners in particular.

Then **Solaris** came across another god who inherited **Lönithorst** , **Lönaris** and he fell in love with this smart intelligent god his age, he would fathom of her beautiful indigo silk dresses ordained in gold, he decided to pursue **Lönaris** and so he did eventually the feeling was mutual and **Solaris** decided to fully commit making **Lönaris** equal to him now they both rule over **Mänschenthorst** together in unison, perfect harmony
