Creation mythology
Among the peoples of Aserra there are a number of creation myths, but the most prolific myth arises from ancient Thiskelian culture. There are commonalities between many origin myths, which spread widely after the War of the Gods when human societies struggled to rebuild. Some are alterations to a more familiar mythology that better suits a specific culture.
Thiskelian Creation Myth
Orran'sulani, God of the Sun, fell in love with Nydoini, Goddess of the Moon, though a vast void kept them apart. In the very center, between them, was a barren stone where they met. Their union first brought forth Zelan and the sky surrounded the stone. Then came Maris and the stone flooded with the waters of her birth. Next came Brecha and fecund land rose beneath Nydoini. Then came Alaezo, and with his birth, came warmth to the sky, sea, and land. Following him was Entra, and the seas and land responded with a profusion of life in the form of plants and animals, including the first people, Maredi and Marebi. Finally, when the last two children were born, the twins Idraen and Ispa, came the cycle of day and night.
