Variation on the portrayal of Adanos
To the people that worship Adanos, he is a god of balance as is written in the ancient scrolls of revelation of Adanos. A slightly different picture than the people of Innos are being taught, who see Adanos more as a god who sits in the background not having much of a role in the world anymore.
It includes a variation to the world creation story.
The Creation Story. Innos had created Adanos and Beliar as his equals, to be his brothers. However, Innos and Beliar were often fighting, with Beliar destroying the light of Innos, and Innos destroying the darkness of Beliar. A continuous cycle of chaos. Adanos saw this and knew that like this, nothing can exist, no light and no darkness. So he stood between his brothers to bring an end to their fighting but he did not succeed; But there where Adanos stood, sprung into existence a place where Innos and Beliar held no power, and at this place was chaos and order at once. So was the ocean born, and the ocean gave way to the land where Adanos created the trees, birds, beasts, animals and lastly the humanoids.
Adanos saw what he had created, and he was happy, he loved all of his creations in equal measure. Beliar was overcome with great jealousy and anger. So great was the anger Beliar's that he came to the land and chose the beasts. Beliar spoke to them, and the beasts became his servants. Beliar gave the beasts a part of his godly power so that they may destroy the creations of Adanos. Innos saw what had happened, so he too came to the land and chose the humanoids. Innos spoke to them, and the humanoids became his servants.
Innos gave the humanoids part of his godly power so that they may stop the servants of Beliar, so Beliar spoke to another being. A being so foul and terrible that Adanos had to call on a great flood to wash away this being. But with it, he washed away the trees, birds, beasts, animals and humanoids. Adanos saw what had happened and a great sadness overcame him. He cried for many days. So Adanos spoke to his brothers: "Never shall you step foot on the land again for it is holy and so it shall be." However, after restoring his creations, the beasts and humanoids continued to wage war against one another and the anger of the gods was with them. The humanoids slew the beasts and the beasts went into Beliar's realm. Adanos saw that chaos and order were now unbalanced and he asked Innos to take his godly power away from the humanoids. Innos in his wisdom did so. Adanos feared the day the beasts would return to the land, so he asked Innos that he may leave a part of his godly power in Aurasong so that he may give it to the humanoids in case the beasts shall return, and Innos in his wisdom did so.
