Mythology & Lore
The Great Shadow created the guinea pig safe haven and utopia known as The Federation of New Guinea. He is the ultimate manifestation of the Spirit Auriesiel, the creator god. Guinea pigs have been chosen by the gods as heir to the world of men. The Great Shadow has blessed Guinea pigs as the superior race. Upon his death, The Great Shadow's ashes were buried in grave-sites in each of the states, and become lush with lettuce on the anniversary of his death. This gift from Shadow feeds the population of the state for the week-long Festival of Mourning. On the birth of a reincarnation of The Great Shadow, the State's grave-site in which he is born becomes lush with large bell peppers.
Divine Origins
The Great Shadow and his Elf Freya subjugated the continent and created the utopia known as The Federation of New Guinea.
Cosmological Views
In the beginning, there was only the Spirit of Life called Auriesiel. Auriesiel grew lonely and created the first guinea pig, which it named Shadow. Shadow was adorable, and intricate in nature, but it lacked the proper environment. While they became fast and dear friends, Shadow soon died. Auriesiel harvested Shadow's spirit, and used it to create the perfect environment. From Shadow's spirit, the water was born. From Shadow's body, the earth. Auriesiel then created the great air burrow, which breathed life into the earth, and the water and the earth joined to create one entity- a planet. On this planet, Auriesiel created the second guinea pig, and many more. Then it created all of the creatures of the earth and water. Auriesiel saw its work and watched it progress. It made many more planets, supernovas, black holes, all the things of space to keep it company as it watched. When the second guinea pig died, Auriesiel brought its spirit up to the Great Burrow in the Sky to watch with it. And the third and the fourth. On a clear night, you can look up into the sky and find the spirits of the fallen, shining as they watch over you. All guinea pigs will eventually join Auriesiel in the Sky. Still, Auriesiel grew lonely for its friend. As it looked on what it had made, it wished Shadow could see what it had created. It couldn't bring Shadow back, but as it looked on the planet, it decided to keep his memory alive. Aurisiel took the form of its dear friend and Our Great Shadow descended in the region of Kevas, pairing with the Sacred Elf, Freya, and creating the Federation of New Guinea. Where the chosen rule.
