Merueeke

Merueeke is the first of the three Gods of life, the manifestation of body and the force that began the existence of organisms which were not gods. He, along with his two counterparts Serudare and Eerueme, is widely worshipped by followers of Senmare and Lenmare alike. Being that he is a god worshipped alongside the other two, he is forced to ask nothing of his followers, and the mere act of asking something of his followers would be acknowledging their ability for free will and free thinking, which was not something he included in his design which he views as perfect. There are a few species that he looks upon with favour, these being the Lizardfolk and Aarakocras due to their efforts towards collectivism.

Tale of the First Life Merueeke, God of Body was brought into the world by a passing thought of Lenmare, who was pondering how the world might be able to change and evolve by itself without the constant involvement of Gods. Before him appeared Merueeke and he created the first animals, mindless beings that acted as a hive mind and worked only for a greater goal. Within a day, humans elves and dwarves all existed, having been brought into the world in that order. A week later and these creatures had already constructed a city and castle, a place for them to rest, eat sustain themselves before they progressed to future endeavours. By this point, Senmare had caught wind of the existence of mindless life, and she saw it as an abomination, seeing as all the Gods had minds and freedom why should not their creations made in their image? Thus she made Serudare, God of soul. As Serudare popped into existence out of the nothingness so did the soul, and the beings which once worked together mindlessly began to realize their existences and their differences. Within minutes there was infighting and confusion and as of yet not all beings had souls or minds, so many continued to work as the rest fell into disarray. The city was ruined and the still confused beings were wandering, aimless, dictated only by emotions and passing feelings. Lenmare saw this and knew what needed to be done. He shaped a being that would be able to make the holy fusion of body and soul possible through a new component: blood and logic. Though the beings had mind they were not intelligent and though they had soul it lacked a solid connection too the body. Eerueme, as he came into existence, filled all creatures with blood, representing and acting as this holy fusion, and allowing all creatures to finally be complete. The chaos of raw emotion turned to a frantic attempt to try to survive, as the city was destroyed and all of the creatures were left to their own. This is the beginning of humanoid history, and the end of the tale of the beginning of life, as the three gods each upheld their purpose and granted these key parts of life to the creatures.
