Divine Origins

The Songstone was once a gemstone of lightwater buried deep within the earth until the children of the Seerstar wept in the darkness, where then the gods ascended the Songstone into the sky to provide light.

Cosmological Views

The gods walked the earth one time, they shaped the world, and created beautiful waterfalls and rivers which glowed with light. At least, until one of them tried to capture the light-water to form a creation of their own, and hid as much as he could deep in the earth. Eventually the people of the world cried out for they had no light and could not live in the dark. Thus the creators awoke the Dwarves to to Sing to the stone and open the world to the capture light water. Unfortunately then the Needless Crafter gave humanity a glass vase which would hold all the colors of the light-water, all they had to was dip it in the light-water.   The humans did so, but unbeknownst to the Needless Crafter, they drank the water when they were thirsty, thus turning the blood in their veins in vibrant colors and light, granting them unique strengths. They sailed across the prismatic sea and drained it of its light until they reached a new lands where they reigned like gods themselves.   But then the Dwarves sang a great song to the creator gods, lamenting that the light they had was beginning to fade as they were forced to drink it, and the world was beginning to dim. Thus with a great united song, the Dwarves called upon the creators. The creators answered their plight by taking the remaining water and turning it into a gemstone which contained a spot for all the glittering light of the world, and they put it in the sky, naming it The Songstone.   Here in the sky the Songstone absorbed the light of the world across it and reflected it back to where light was imbalanced.
