The Divines
“The universe began in Darkness, and so too shall it end in Darkness.”
“For an untold Age, the craftsman known as Marath wandered the universe alone. He crafted all things that he needed for sustenance, and he carried with him a spear made from his own rib.”
“In time, he grew tired of the great darkness, and so he crafted a great lantern. He inhaled for seven years, and when he spoke he ignited the great lantern.”
“The lantern cast light across the universe, and scattered around the far reaches were eleven other divines who saw the light, and approached.”
“The first among them was Narunae, her skin pale as alabaster, and her form cloaked in a dress made of the essence of night. Her long hair trailed behind her like gossamer silk caught in a perpetual wind. Following her was her sister Ghesheya, clothed in the waters before they were rain.”
“Then came Vardur, a walking mountain, his eyes smoldering embers, and his flesh made of armor. He immediately challenged Marath to a fight, and after seven days they found that neither could overcome the other.”
“During those seven days, the others arrived, and each emerged from the darkness separately. Together they numbered Twelve.”
“But they were not alone, for far out in the Outer Darkness, a vast and terrible horde writhed in perpetual hunger. They dared not approach the Lantern of Marath too closely, but all knew they were out there, waiting, hungering.”
