Kaos: Difference between revisions

Before existence, there was [[Preforus]], the first of the divine. Gifted with divinity by an unknown power, [[Preforus]] dwelled alone in the void, boundless and infinite. But even divinity can long for creation, and so [[Preforus]] fathomed Kaos into existence. With a single command, [[Preforus]] summoned [[Sephyrian]] from the void, bidding them to shape the formless into the first whispers of the world.

[[Sephyrian]] called forth the [[Osorian]], the architects of Kaos, and thus began the great forming. 

* [[Oelris]] arranged the sky, a vast canvas painted with the stars.

* [[Vemnar]] summoned the oceans, deep and brimming with life yet to come.

* [[Kuumol]] breathed air into the void, filling it with winds to carry life’s promise.

* [[Mae'a]] laid the foundation of the world, crafting the mountains, plains, and valleys.

* [[Silda]] blanketed this foundation with verdant life, painting Kaos with color and vibrance.

* [[Lidor]] set time into motion, giving the world a rhythm and pulse.

From this unity, [[Mae'a]] fathomed [[Teera]], the Goddess of Life, to nurture and preserve the creation.

From the dust of [[Mount Osorios]], [[Teera]] brought forth [[Soakra]] and [[Duurmik]], the first of the [[Osorian]]. [[Soakra]] became the Goddess of Motherhood, and [[Duurmik]] the God of Fatherhood, and together they began to shape the destiny of Kaos.

In time, other great beings emerged: 

* [[Mesook]] and [[Molanii]] arose from the oceans, claiming dominion over the waves.

* [[Niya]] and [[Korbrook]] sprang from [[Mae'a]], carving mountains and valleys with their strength.

Their labors birthed music itself, and from the harmony of their efforts came [[Lyra]], Goddess of Music. Her melodies moved [[Preforus]] deeply, and from his joy sprang [[Isora]], the Goddess of Celebration.

=== The Creation of Man ===

Under the watchful eyes of [[Soakra]] and [[Duurmik]], the [[Five Tribes of Man|five tribes of man]] were formed, gifted with spirit and will. To guide mankind, [[Neeyena]] and [[Rossa]] were begotten. [[Rossa]] was tasked with safeguarding the virtue of women, and [[Neeyena]] was given to [[Malvus]], the guardian of Kaos’s Core, as a companion.

But [[Neeyena]] was not content. Her heart burned with ambition, and her scheming sowed the seeds of rebellion among mankind.

The hatred between [[Malvus]] and [[Neeyena]] bore [[Tandum]], God of War.

In her cunning, [[Neeyena]] beguiled mankind to release her from the Core, causing the [[First Tribe of Man|first tribe]] to fall into ruin. 

In her freedom, she bore [[Kelkor]], God of Domination, from her union with [[Tandum]].

 

=== [[Nayhor]]'s Treachery ===

[[Nayhor]]’s cunning ensnared [[Lyra]], and together they wove a melody of chaos. Their song summoned storms that shook the heavens, and from this discord was born [[Moldor]], God of Storms.

Love and jealousy shaped the next era. [[Molanii]] fell for a mortal, and [[Mesook]], consumed with envy, made a dark pact with [[Tandum]]. Together they begot:

* [[Kolik]], God of Disease.

* [[Kithor]], God of Destruction.

* [[Kremlok]], God of Death.

Thus, the [[Second Tribe of Man|second tribe]] was swept away by plagues and ruin.

 

Seeking power over the Underworld, [[Neeyena]] returned to [[Malvus]] in feigned repentance. From their union came [[Nen'num]], God of the Afterlife, who would guide souls through the shadowed realms.

The last three tribes of man struggled against disease and death, and [[Soakra]] and [[Duurmik]] wept for their suffering. From their sorrow, they begot:

* [[Pentara]], Goddess of Medicine and Healing.

* [[Soria]], Goddess of Mercy.

Hope returned to mankind, and their resilience began to shape the world anew.

[[Preforus]] looked upon the machinations of the gods with anger and sadness. To bring balance, he fathomed [[Elena]], Goddess of Judgment and Justice. Her hand was swift, and the wicked among the [[Osorian]] fell.

Mankind flourished with the gifts of the gods. [[Soakra]] and [[Duurmik]] brought forth:

* [[Esra]], Goddess of the Harvest.

* [[Dekra]], Goddess of the Hearth.

* [[Katherii]], God of Creatures and Beasts.

In celebration, mankind’s joy begot [[Arkis]], God of Alcoholic Beverages. And as they rested, [[Preforus]] gifted them [[Krenee’a]], Goddess of Dreams, to bring peace to their nights.

But [[Nayhor]], still bitter and vengeful, twisted the mind of [[Krenee’a]], and nightmares plagued mankind.

 

When [[Preforus]] discovered this act, he cast [[Nayhor]] into the sky, where his whispers linger in the hearts of the wicked.

And so, Kaos was left to mankind, to flourish or falter, guided by the light and shadow of their creators.
