The Founding of D'neth

Celestial / Cosmic

Before the beginning, there was everything and there was nothing. In the places where the nothing brushed against the everything, the nothing became something and the something hated that it was anything at all.

Before the beginning, there was Everything and there was Nothing. In the places where Nothing brushed against Everything, Nothing became Something and the Something hated that it was anything at all. Desiring only to return to the absence of self, the Something sought to destroy Everything so as to become Nothing once more. But Everything is not so easily unmade. In a moment both singular and eternal, Everything shattered into a million million fragments of itself, filling the Nothing with pieces of Something. Thus began the cosmos.

In the aftermath of this great cosmic cataclysm, scattered droplets of that infinite Everything, what once called itself Aom, knew themselves to be such and came together to find purpose and comfort. One of those drops was an entity that took the name Y'nara. Buoyed by the presence of fellow drops of infinity, whom she--she--came to understand as her siblings, Y'nara went out into the great dark beyond in search of more drops of Everything. Amidst their journey, they indeed found many pieces of Everything, of Aom, other Somethings like themselves, but they also found things that hated Everything and longed to be Nothing once again. These Somethings they called the [INSERT NAME HERE].

As Y'nara and her siblings spread across the universe, searching for fragments of Everything to cultivate with life, they came into repeated conflict with [NAME]. Nevertheless their quest was not without success. Y'nara felt joy as she watched her siblings find new worlds in which to take shelter where veins filled with the Blood of Aom flowed hot and thick. Finally, while wandering alone through a quiet part of a far off galaxy, she stumbled upon a small shell of rock that felt like home. At long last, this little rim of earth resonated with her soul, and Y'nara understood that this planet and her soul had once shared the same corner of Everything.

Filled with joy at having finally found D'neth, the physical cradle of her soul, Y'nara alighted upon the surface of the planet only to realize that Something Else had already discovered this place before her.

Burrowing into the broken rock and drinking of the Aomic Blood that welled there were hordes of eldritch horrors, pieces of [NAME] flesh given limited sentience and ravenous hunger in the Nothing's endless quest to consume the cosmos back to silence. Enraged that these chittering, clicking, roiling terrors were feasting upon the home that echoed her own Blood, Y'nara summoned her very essence to rain fire down upon the creatures, smiting them from the face of her world. As she burned out the infestation, her worst fears became realized as the sources of the creatures came crawling to the surface: [NAME], three of them. Massive, eldritch, unfathomably terrible, and more than Y'nara could hope to handle alone. Knowing that she would be overwhelmed and consumed should she engage the monsters alone, Y'nara retreated to gather her strength and set about creating children who might help her save this home.
