The Creational Development of Pairi Daēza

A broad view of the creation and development of the initial experiments done in Pairi Daēza, and how they led to the current state of the world.

Era of Divine Manifestation

... 0

The initial creation of the boundaries of the garden, followed by parceling out areas for each deity's creational projects. During this period, initial experiments were done - the world was not a cohesive whole. Many individual spheres with limited aspects.

    The Creation of the Garden
    Era beginning/end

    In the beginning, the gods sought to create their own realm, separate from the rest of the cosmos. To do so, they came together to make a pact - they would create a Garden, just for them, and they would separate it from the rest of the cosmos, to protect it from outside influence and to ensure their own absolute ownership.   The gods worked together, and spun a the boundaries of a realm from the Void. By separating and containing it, they defined it, and it became space, rather than void. Still empty, but now with possibilities. In this space, each of the gods began to create their own worlds, with smaller boundaries separating space from the Garden, and defining it as something else. Within these realms, the gods used the power of creation, and explored their new powers.

    The Creation of Mortal Life
    Life, Birth

    The first mortal beings are created. The gods argue over who truly did this first, and, since they weren't really watching each other, and their creations did not come into contact until later, the subject is hard to prove one way or the other.   While this was the creation of mortal life, in a way, many of these creatures were not mortal in the modern sense - they were, in a sense, immortal - many did not age, and often they were quite difficult to kill, but their average lifespan was short enough due to the conditions they were in that the difference is academic. Races that did age came soon after, but not in great numbers - not until the realms were more stable.
