Arcanalia: A Creation Story

There was a void, and in it was magic. Magics that were wild and free, that surged in the void looking for a place. All the various magics danced about each other to and fro in the void searching for something to transform, to loose their power on. One day two of these magics collided, and soon that collision drew in others, and before long instead of many magics each moving about freely in the void, there was one big clump of magic, and eventually the magics started interacting and soon things were forming and a world came into being.   The world took shape, and the magics were intertwined with it. At many places, great and small, throughout the world openings let the magic enter the material world they had created. These magics would toy and act with all they encountered. In this way the surface was shaped, with Mountains, Seas, Hills, Lakes, Rivers, plains, forests and valleys. Then came plants, grasses, trees, all the living vegetation that covered land and sea. Then came many wild creatures that dwelt on the land and in the sea.   Then one of the magics brought forth the first intelligent creature, the Giant. Soon Giants roamed the earth: Hill, Stone, Fire, Storm, and Cloud. These Giants spread across Arcanalia finding their favorite habitats. They ruled over the world and the wild creatures in it. In the Sea the Krakens were birthed, and they ruled the world below the waters. Each of the great creatures took to their favorite part of the world. The Cloud Giants lived on the highest peaks, and even began their move into the clouds. The Storm Giants lives on the edges of the world where they challenged the winds and storms for control. The Fire Giants delved deep into the Mountains, and mining and crafting were their concerns. The Stone Giants Lived on the Mountains and in the great deserts where ever they could be with stone.
