The Myth of the Cosmos

In the beginning of time, there was a single being of omniscience and all power that was left to wander the void of nothingness. This being was the essence of all chaos that wandered in an infinite age. He then sorted himself and became neutral and out of his body formed an orb of chaos. Inside this orb of chaos he divided the elements by five: water, earth, fire, air, and ether. Out of the ether, which comprised of most of the orb, he created the Mythos. Whatever this being imagined and thought of, however, came into existence and was created as a part of reality. He summoned light, the earth, the mountains, the stars in the night sky, the atmosphere where we breath from, and the life that creeps and rules over the lands. After summoning all of this, he was left with the loneliness of himself. He doubting himself, his mind wander and he unconsciously materialized those thoughts. The gods of all were created in his wandering, countless in number, but the ones who were grateful to their creator, and most curious of his reason were the Watchers. These Watchers would be the ones to watch over the cycle of life and death created, and the order of creations nature, solidifying the laws of cosmos, into beings of omniscience, servants to the creators cause.

There were two Watchers in all, and both of them had their own separate creations to represent what they watched over. The first Watcher, Gilmeer, was the watcher of Life. He was the watcher of things coming into existence and their destinies and potential that came with the life breathed into them. The second Watcher was named Faghelra. She was the watcher over the afterlife and the dimensions of which each being went to according to their standing with the other watchers. The both of them together formed the Halian Plane, which was where they wandered. In the waters of the Halian Plane, much like their creator, they wandered, doubted and argued their differences of the fate of cycle, and amongst themselves they compromised. These compromises were many in number but the ones that stood out and became creations of their thought were their children, sixteen in number. They were encouraged to enact these "compromises" and give them life, and the ability to rule over the Mythos, ultimately to facilitate the order of creation in harmony.

As they grew they learned all there is to life and death, the cycle of love and hatred with each other. Half of them wanted a balance of the two, but the other half that either feared death or embraced as a solution became the cause of death. Eventually they fought with each other and the ether was enveloped in chaos and the blood of the gods. After ages of fighting, when they were exhausted the Watchers came and separated those who violated that mandate given to them when dispatched to the Mythos, be it by chaotic intentions, lawful intentions, and evil or good intentions. Their souls were then dispersed and dematerialized but then reformed to become the very outer planes of existence. The war that occurred among them also left remnants of supernatural energy that became concentrated and radiated throughout the realm. Soon by the end of their war, this radiation, also known as Arcenergy became explosive and split Mythos into three, Feithos, Grathos, and Umbrathos, as the very beings that facilitated its balanced ceased to exist. The plane in which the Watchers reside and judge the souls of the deceased is called Agnoss. From there a soul would be sent into a plane made from the souls of the watchers many offspring.

The Material plane of existence known as the Mythos was created with the idea of life to flourish and wander, in thought and awe. So the Creator planted the seeds of a race created in his likeness to roam it and explore its possibilities. However due to the descendants of the Watchers dividing the cosmos and quarreling in the ether. These beings, The Dwellers, had been caught in the crossfire. Some would say that the cause of the War of the Planes was due to Dwellerkind choosing to disobey The Watchers and exploiting the power of the granted by the gods against each other. Each child of Watcher had their own 'Fruit of Lore'. Those who followed their particular god were told to eat of it to become their offspring, and therefore Generals leading to a dawn of an age of their gods rule in rebellion to the Watchers. Unleashing this caused an uncontrolled radiance of raw arcana that divided man along with the Ether and forcing most of them to live among the various sixteen children of the Watchers' remains.

Their likeness was then fused with the gods and eventually developed into the more than thirty different variations of Dwellerkind. However the remainder that was left on the Material plane remained unchanged and unaffected but in their worship they became familiar with remnants of those fruit, channeling energy that would affect their perspectives on life as a whole. Some ruled over others and became savage against one another, while some ruled with benevolence and order within their nomadic families and eventually their tribes. Some became too curious and cursed themselves through the careless handling of the arcane and became variations of their race, hence the dwarves the halflings, and the goliaths.
