Story of Creation

## Creation of Primal Gods

Gaea and Anshar were married at the beginning. Together they had many children. The first came chaos and anarchy with the twins Jeheyu and Jehora. Realizing some semblance or order was necessary they birthed another set of twins for law and justice, Themis and Tyr.

Their next children were Poseidon and Pan who covered the earth with the sea and nature. Anahita who created the first humans was the next born child. Anahita and Pan then slept together to birth Cerunnos who put beasts into the world. Realizing that plants were dying and the creatures were stumbling around in the dark Pan and Anahita asked their parents for help with this problem. Gaea and Anshar then had twins Ra and Khonsu.

Ra created Lathander, together they provide light to the world. In secret Khonsu created Lathander's counterpart, Shar who created darkness everywhere Lathander wasn't looking. Khonsu was very happy with Shar as she was giving him more time to shine in the night sky.

Realizing their people where going hungry Anahita and Pan slept together again to have Demeter who taught the humans to harvest food for themselves. With this new knowledge the humans thrived, but there were too many so Gaea and Anshar birthed another child, Myrkul, God of the Dead. There were so many humans Myrkul needed help so he created Thanatos to deliver the news that a human's time had come.

One night Jeheyu and Jehora were bored so they hatched a plan, soon together they created Loki. In an attempt to provide aid to those who really need it Ra created Tymora.

## Rise of Cultural Gods

Poseidon was lonely and little jealous of Pan and Anahita's creations on land. One night he was visited by his oldest sibling Jeheyu who told him he needed to have children of his own in order to be happy. After Jeheyu left, Jehora visited Poseidon, she seduced him and together they had Kozah and Umberlee releasing storms and danger onto the seas. Poseidon the only way he could have children with true life was with Anahita. So with Loki's help, Poseidon tricked Anahita to spend a night with him underwater where together they birthed Ereima. Ereima soon breathed life into all corners of the ocean. Anahita returned to land in secret. The next night, Anahita snuck back into the ocean where she and Poseidon had Freyja. Unfortunately for Anahita, Freyja didn't stay underwater as love spread to all creatures on land and in the sea. Pan was very upset by this, and in his jealousy he lay with Shar. To his horror he saw as a set of dark triplets were born. Bane, Bhaal, and Deskari unleashed tyranny, murder, and plague unto the humans of the world. In an attempt to fix their mistakes Pan and Anahita had Artemis and Apollo to distract the inhabitants of the world. Apollo brought songs and stories to the humans and to the displeasure of her older brother, Cerunnos, Artemis taught the humans to hunt animals.

Seeing the humans suffer Demeter, wanted to help so she and Cerunnos laid together to create Agrotis. Who taught animal husbandry to the people to the dismay of his father.

Unhappy with chaos that was tearing the world apart Themis and Tyr created Anubis to try to restore some order to the world. Themis and Tyr then created Thoth and Gond to teach the humans and help them create civilizations. The civilizations soon became powerful under the watchful eye Helm another child of Themis and Tyr. Helm asked for another brother so Themis and Tyr created Toka. Jeheyu and Jehora laughed in glee as the birthed Mars disfiguring the contests of Toka into wars that raged across the lands. Anahita was so distraught over her people so she sculpted Serket to spread healing amongst her people.

## The Divergence of Gods

Gaea and Anshar's last child was far younger than her siblings, but Oona the goddess of magic was one of the strongest of them all. It was Oona who finally convinced the gods to leave the material plane for good so that the world could run it's own course without further interference from the gods. As a parting gift Oona worked with many different gods to create the Racial Gods. The racial gods were then tasked with creating humanoids other than the humans that could appease specific gods.

Together the Gods created the Multiverse with planes to represent each of their different aspects. Then they all left the material plane to go live in their favorite planes. This is known as the Divergence of Gods and it's what the calendar starts counting at.

## The New Age

Even though there were no dieties walking on the earth people still worshipped the Gods from afar. Some trying so hard as to try to become Gods. A mortal mage, whose name was lost to history, crafted the rites of ascension and challenged Thanatos, the God of Death. She killed and destroyed him and took his place in the pantheon, becoming the Raven Queen. As of 812 AD, the previous God of Death, Thanatos was largely forgotten about.
