After the beginning

now, Ronar existed, and it was much like the nothing in which GOD had came to be. But the Masters of Reality gave things a push. No point in waiting for an eternity, after all.

So was created the first god. He was made without emotion, without bias, so that there would be an empty slate for this competition. The Masters then backed away, beyond the realm of the god's power, and watched with an oath to never interfere.

The god created was called Geisfarl. Geisfarl saw the universe, and that it was empty, even of himself. His first act was to give himself form, the same form that would later be used to build the most populace of the creations: humans. Geisfarl then saw that the universe was still empty, and created the sun, and the single planet of Ronar. Now, the universe was not empty, and there was light. But now Geisfarl could not see all, for he could watch the light, and the empty world below with it, he could not see the far side. Geisfarl split himself in two, creating Garsog, the god of the night, to watch over what parts of Ronar he could not see. Garsog saw that the world and the universe were beautiful, and full, but they were plain. For, being made of all that Geisfarl was not, he detested the emptiness upon the world, and created water, so that the world would move and flow, no longer static. Once water has been created, Geisfarl began to long again for his solid, stable and strong world. He crafted himself the first tools, and used them to dig out great spaces of Ronar, so that the water would flow into them. Thus, Geisfarl created the continents, and indirectly the oceans. Together, Garsog and Geisfarl looked at the world and were satisfied, but over time, they began to tire. They created for themselves three wives each, to keep them company.

The wives were each alike them in form, but different. The genders themselves were not entirely defined at this point, but they created the goddesses nonetheless, different, yet the same. The six wives were; Malladine, Sanfra, and Alldora were the wives of Geisfarl, and Paio, Estel, and Ner were the wives of Garsog. Each godess looked upon the world and decided that even with it's solidness, and it's fluidity, it was empty.

First, Sanfra created plants of the land, grasses, bushes, trees and other life that grows from the ground. She took to the woods and forests, claiming their domains as her own. Next, Alldora created all manner of beasts to walk the land. They would live forever, and reproduce. She took to the spark of life, and claimed it's domain as her own. Then, Malladine created fruit, wheat and other foods from the ground, so that the beasts might eat, and grow. She took to the fields and foods and claimed their domains as her own.

Garsog's wives saw what the others had done, and while it was beautiful, it had flaws. If the creatures never died, they would soon cover the whole world, and it would grow filthy and disguisting. Paio herself became the moon, and declared that creatures would only live for a time, before passing the world on to new ones, so each might experience the world anew. She took to the passing of lives, and claimed it's domain as her own. Estel saw that while the land that Giesfarl had created as teeming with life, the sea and the air were barren. She created all manner of fish and birds to teem forth into the sea and the sky, and fill the world to it's brim. She also filled the night sky with stars, filling the world with light where it had none, with life where it had none, and with knowledge where it had none. She took to the thrill of filling these little places in the world, and in minds, and claimed their domains as her own. Ner now looked upon the world, and was saddened. It was perfect, full and in harmony, in constant motion and still solid and fluid at once. She saw the other gods and goddesses and felt that they were all more beautiful than herself and became angry. She brought onto Ronar pain and suffering such that she felt. That each creature might know pain both to give contrast to the good in the world, and as a petty revenge for the goddess. She took to the pain and the suffering and hate, and claimed their domains as her own.

Geisfarl and Garsog now looked upon the world they can created, and their wives had filled with life, and despaired their own shortsightedness. Of course there should have been life! However, rather than being outwitted by their own wives, and thus their own creations, they together created a creature not unlike themselves. They called it a 'human' and set it down in Ronar. It would have a power the other creatures did not have, that of a clever mind. With it, it could rise in power over the other creatures. This act also solidified the aspects of the gods as male, and the godesses as female - in the Garsog and Geisfarl's minds, this was proper.

The gods sit back and watch their creations grow and prosper, and time passes.
