The Time of Creation

Era beginning/end

Creation Myths   Almost every culture and clan has their own "version" of the creation. Many are close to the real thing, but due to the timey-wimey nature of a magical universe it is possible that this history as written has faults.

  Creation   Around this time there is another "Dimension", one where some of the old gods still live and other events occur. That Dimension is now about to fall as the gods have all begun to fight one of the strongest gods ever --- D’erletztesøhn. All of the other gods from many different realities banded together to destroy him, and they fought a wonderful battle. As the Dragon God “D’erletztesøhn” was mortally wounded he knew he would soon be destroyed if he did not retreat. He needed rest, and even if that rest was to the ends of eternity it would be better than utter destruction.   They wounded him so gravely that in a last-ditch effort to safe himself from utter destruction he seeks refuge in this empty space.   D’erletztesøhn was a large and powerful deity had an insatiable thirst for destruction and power. He often was signified as a Dragon that was as large as our sun (or smaller of course). He had found ways of going in and out of other realities, universes, even invading imaginary places — that was how far-reaching his power was.   In this space he created a pocket universe to retreat to, but one god from one of the planes followed. She was Gaea, and she was the only god D’erletztesøhn would never harm for he loved her and only her (and power of course). He trusted her enough to let her in, especially after she said she would help protect him.   Gaea is trusted by the Dragon Gods as she is trusted by all -- she only seeks survival and balance for all things. She doesn't want the Dragon god to come back, but she also doesn't want him destroyed. She convinces the dragons to take a part of her and become "planets" so they can better funnel the energies of the planes they are working with. If they cycle the "Sun" it helps funnel the energy to the sun. What she was unaware of was The Weave that was still in the Universe. The rotations began to make sense of the chaos that is all that is left of The Weave and the old gods and even AO.   Gaea was finding ways to stop or slow down the healing and the dragons were finding new ways to funnel more of the chaos and elemental magics into the Dragon God. Through various proxies and mechanisms -- which is how most everything comes to be. This constant need for healing the evil and Gaea trying to stop it.   As much as he loved her, he knew he couldn’t trust her completely and so as he began to create a flaming shell to protect him some of his blood and scales became new gods. He pierces the Universe and creates a hole to the Elemental Plane of Fire to summon the power he needs to begin the process. It engulfs him and he begins to hibernate.   He creates his children to protect him, and to help create the machination that would help him restore his strength.   First was the eldest son E’erste and he was put in a protective shell that made him the first “planet”, then came his daughter T’wêde who was the second planet. These two rotated around D’erletztesøhn as his protectors and they would awaken only if D’erletztesøhn was awoken or attacked.   The third son was D’ierde and he would remain the one Dragon God who would stay awake and he roamed around in a wide arc around his two siblings and father. He had many talks with Gaea as she tried to convince him that peace was better than war and destruction. D’ierde wanted so much to destroy her, but feared his father would wake and destroy him for such an action. He believed that if he could allow some of the other gods in without the knowledge of his father then he would be rid of her, one way or another.   As the Father funneled energy from the plane of fire, E'erste funneled in from the Plane of Earth, T’wêde funneled Plane of Air, and D'ierde focused on the Plane of Water.     The First Betrayal   D'ierde slowly made small holes in the far edges of the universal bubble when he knew it was safe. He learned that there were some moments where his siblings, father, and even Gaea were stronger or weaker and so when he was able to notice the lulls in all of their powers he took those opportunities. This took a very long time which would be in the trillions of “years”, but time works differently in this universe, especially compared to other universes. In fact there were a few times D’ierde was sure that time might have reversed because he found some holes were gone but he was sure he had poked them.     The First War of the Gods   Eventually some of the other gods that originally fought D’erletztesøhn found the holes and saw an opportunity to attack D’erletztesøhn. They slowly came in and formulated plans after plans.   They too began to discover that the power waxed and wane based on the positions of the gods in their rest. They sought a moment where they believed they would be best able to make their attack and they all charged in, piercing the bubble of the universe in their wake.   D’ierde saw his opportunity, but didn’t realize how over-powered he was and when he saw Gaea try to put up non-lethal defenses he knew that his priority was protecting his family and if he could find a way to hurt Gaea that was a distant second now. He was cut and as his blood dropped he began to turn those drops into his own offspring. The first were the most powerful.     The Dragon Gods   D’iestern, was so beautiful that instantly D'ierde fell in love with her and they were very protective of each other.   His next drop of blood was D’ermond and he also was in love with his sister D’iestern who he would ultimately want to marry.   The next was D’iethloki and this dark Dragon came out and screamed a deadly cry at the warring gods that caused great dragons to come out of his mouth.     The End of the Creation   In this very long battle not a single step was taken near D’erletztesøhn and his two sleeping sons as all the others were able to stave them off. D’ierde saw D’iestern (his daughter) almost die and this caused him to get really angry. He pushed all of his power and might out which then formed the universe. It put D’iestern, D’ermond, and D’iethloki into protective shells it also banished all of the gods out of the universe. Their banishments along with some of the errant dragons were put out with such force that they caused all types of holes in the Universe Bubble which would later be called our stars. There was a very bright band that encircles the “waist” of the Bubble and it would be the “Trail of Warriors” (very similar, but more uniform and brighter than our Milky Way). Many of the other dragons formed by D’iethloki (and there were dragons made by the other Dragon gods amidst the battle) found themselves as other resting guards. These would be other stars and such sights we see in the night sky.     Creation of Dierde   As D’ierde was about to become nothing due to the power being emitted he found himself enveloped by Gaea. She wanted to protect him and help him rest, and even thought D’ierde was not satisfied with the situation he knew it was the only way to protect his father, siblings, and offspring.   Gaea became the D’ierde shell and inside of her he shone as a bright sun. Some of the non-resting dragons rested on Gaea. One of these dragons was Geskiedenis, a curious Dragon who began to understand the magic around her. Remnants of power left by all the Dragon gods and Deities who had been in this pocket universe. Gaea began to converse with her and all of the history of the universe was parted to Geskiedenis. She created a monastery in the cold north and Gaea had shown her the form of a Human which she found to be more suitable for the creation of her library. She realized she needed more people to suitably help her create the history of the universe, especially since she wanted to catch up to the times she currently lived in. This was difficult since she could not see the current events as she was too busy writing what happened so long ago. Quite a dilemma.   Gaea also recreated Mystra in a new form, a spider. This spider began to fix The Weave, starting from a single seed that Gaea gave her.
