Chapter 1- In the Beginning

In the beginning, there was nothing but the spark. It is from this spark that the Gods were created, and it is from which all things hence have come from. The spark could not be described in any physical sense that it might make sense to us, but rather must be understood as an idea. The spark was the concentrated combination of ideas and of energy, that sprouted consciousnesses that became each and every thing that we know today. The ideas within grew and developed, and became the first gods. They rose from the spark, extending above and beyond the confinement that it provided.

These were the first gods, the Aelin, the first of their kind. Their collective consciousness' grew and merged, and, of a sort, conversed. After long aeons of discussion, discourse and debate, the conflict between the ideals of the gods grew apparent, and where they met one another, the world was born. It was the first child of the gods, their first masterpiece that served as the proof and experimentation of each and every idea that they held, and the first physical thing the gods encountered. The rock was lit with the light of the spark, which, no longer the home of the gods, dimmed and became a physical embodiment of energy, specks of which were spread to the far corners of the blackness of the emptiness of the universe. As the world was made, the gods began to mould and shape it, each adding what they saw and valued. From this came all of the things of the world; Mountains, Forests, Rivers, metals, dust and sky.

Pleased with the sucess of their first experimentation, other worlds sprang into being, although not all were made with the consent of all the gods, and were rather the private domains of some. As they continued to master the powers that were inherent of their very being, the gods began to tire of their creation, as they were dull and lifeless, and as such, while marvelous, could not hold their attention for long.

This led to the creation of the first beings, the Aelidra.
