Creation of Nyverden

When the Great Creator God opened up the world of Nyverden to occupation, many pantheons rushed to gain a foothold and establish a cohort of followers once they discovered its existence. The various pantheons are dependent upon followers, fervent in their worship to sustain and strengthen them. The gods compete across all of creation to spread and grow their followers and thereby strengthen themselves. For protection and position, the gods have organized themselves into pantheons which work together to increase their territories and power. The first pantheon to establish itself in numbers was the Faerie pantheon, followed closely by the Norse, Greek, and Darkhold. Others soon followed, although in lesser numbers, most notably members of the Celtic and Egyptian pantheons. The Faerie gods of elves and dwarves chose to place those races in the expansive forests and mountains in the middle of the continents of Apenrike and Ankmost. The Norse god Frey, who was spending time with the Faerie pantheon, helped the Elvish god Corellan Larethian establish multiple elven kingdoms and then informed the Norse pantheon of the new world available for population. The Norse gods first planted Men around a great freshwater lake in the north of Ankomst that would be named the Fodsel Sea. The Greek gods set the forefathers of their followers also in Ankomst, on the fertile plan between the Dividing Mountains and the Disparate Sea. Knowing the hostility their followers would face, the Darkhold gods chose to set their followers in the far east and south, giving them space and time to multiply and eventually occupying all of Ondeland and eastern Apenrike. These races had all been established and were expanding when the Celtic and Egyptian gods established followings in relatively uninhabited southern reaches of Ankomst.
