the Creation

There was only "Power" before nothing existed.
At the center of the chaos of the forces of nature, where air, water, earth and fire prevail, with the positive and negative, regular and chaotic outer planes of the multiverse; A power born and raised in the lonely and desolate plane between Feywild and Shadowfell.
Time passed, and this force sprang from within itself, scattering all over the plane. The force disintegrated seven times in total, and the remaining eighth fragment spread over the entire plane.
-and so, raw magic power called "Weave" enveloped the entire plane like a web.
-and thus, the first owners of the plane were born of pure power. Those who will later be called "Gods" by their creations. The six great pieces of power split in two as they were born, and the seventh remained whole.

Time has passed, and some of those born of power desire a land to perish and others to rule.
-and so, the firstborn opened a doorway to near planes, calling the elements to this plane that stood at the center of everything. She brought together a single great earthly continent, surrounded by water, and surrounded by air.
The secondborn took the fire and placed it in the sky to protect, watch, and warm the whole realm.
Third-born twins, on the other hand, pledged to the firstborn they'll take care of what she created until the end of the days, and attached a piece of themselves to the night sky.
The fourth born told her siblings that she would record creation and the aftermath, what is produced, told and lived today and tomorrow.

The fifth born argued that - today and tomorrow - everything lived and told, produced and shared should be fair and true.
Sixth born, like these two siblings, did not believe in abstract concepts. They shaped the first one's creation. they worked the land and extracted mines from it; They created the fertile plains and forged mountains and hills with fire - like a blacksmith.
While all this was happening, those who were born opposite did not stop. They distorted and distorted what others did; They carved deep tunnels and dungeons under the ground, searched the bottom of deep waters and planted seeds.

Time passed, these great powers worked together, they fell asleep for a long time and had unique dreams.
-and so, the firstborn awoke from her last long sleep and breathed life into the whole land. Over the lands were forests and grasses, swamps and orchards, grasses and moss; All kinds of animals, large and small, sprung up among them.
-and so the ancestors of all races were born. Every creator had different thoughts about his "children";
The firstborn wanted her children to adapt to all the lands she had created. Her children called her "the Mother"
The second born wanted their children to be strong. His children called him "the Warrior"
The third-born twins wanted their children to be graceful, magical and cheerful. Their children called them "the Sisters"
The fourth born wanted the children to tell beautiful stories, and the fifth born created his children in his own image. “the Harridan” to her creators who love stories and give them wisdom; "the Judge" said to his creators, who ended all disputes with his fair view.
Sixth born created their children tough and proud; they taught them the mines and the secrets of processing them. Their children called them "the Artisan"
While all this was happening, those who were born opposite did not stop. Those who feed on chaos and evil; they also created their own children, but behaved differently from the others. They sought service and sacrifice; they forbade them to mention themselves by name.
The seventh born, who watched all this in silence from where she was from the very beginning, was the only undivided at birth. She watched what her brothers did and created; she weaved golden threads from her own hair that bind their creations to each other and to their own destiny. Some of the children bowed their heads in respect of this fate, some were afraid of her and some rebelled; but they all called her "the Queen"
-and so began the first age in the lands that came to be called "Gaia". The only age in which creators live with their creations.
