Mountainhead Founding
The founding myth of the Mountainhead religion, where the 5 divines created the material plane and its people. Considered as fact by many, but most people see it as a metaphor.
Summary
The 5 divines: Creas, Innos, Conqost, Recos and Feos created the material plane after escaping the divine plane of Elysium. Each one gave an individual gift to the material plane's people. Conqost gave the gift of will, the ability to fight. Innos gave the gift of kindness, the capacity to give selflessly for others. Recos gave the gift of reason, the ability to know that two plus two equals four, and from there the basis of society. Feos gave the gift of fear, the instinctive knowing, even if they have never seen it, that something is dangerous. Creas gave his life to give the world his ability to create. From there, they left the world to mourn their brother, occasionally looking on his legacy.
Historical Basis
We had to come from somewhere, and those who worship the 5 divines sometimes awaken powers.
Spread
It is common knowledge even by those who don't believe in it, due to the widespread religion of Mountainhead.
Variations & Mutation
Some say that Creas survived and the gods are interventionist.
A lot can be misinterpreted about the gods' relation with each other. The majority say that they are all siblings, but some say that Creas was their father, Innos their mother. Some say that they weren't related and that Conqost and Feos, and Creas and Recos were in love, Innos instead loving the people of the world.

Cultural Reception
It is mostly ignored, but among those in the church it is seen as an important lesson and reminder of their faith.
In Literature
There are many stories written, children's books versions, and the orignal script is one of the last recorded texts of ancient dwarvish, many elements of which were used in Common.
In Art
Most stained glass in Mountainhead temples show one of each of the 5 gods. Some of the smaller churches have a single glass window of most of the 4 watching over Creas, who is on the floor.
