Divine Quartet
The first two were the Heavenly Wellspring: Mother Sun and the Father Moon.
Through the Mother Sun came warmth, light, the sky, weather, and life.
Through the Father Moon came cold, darkness, the stars, land, and death.
The two danced, in love with one another, complimenting their power, for one could not exist without the other.
Through their dance came their two children: The Dusk Mage and The Dawn Warrior, known as the Twilight Offspring.
The Dusk Mage brought the power of Magic and with it knowledge, study, prophecy, protection, and secrets.
The Dawn Warrior brought the power of the Soul and with it strength, sport, will, and invention, and truth.
Together, the four gods became known as the Quartet Divine, and created the Verous Islands in which all of their people live.
The forests to the East were made for the Elves, to live at peace with nature.
The mountains to the West were made for the Dwarves, so they could grow and craft as they pleased.
The plains in the North for the Halflings, so they could live in the moments with community.
The wastelands in the South were made for the Orcs, so they could channel and grow their strength.
Between these places they created the Humans, to act as the liaison for all these diverse beings.
Afterward the Quartet Divine created beasts, plants, and minerals to nourish their creation and help them find ways to live life on their own terms.
Finally the Quartet Divine gave them The Tapestry of Verous, so they could share their history for years and years to come.
