Hello everyone,

The Church of Ayla’s Creation Myth
Before light and matter, there was nothing.
That is, until Ayla pushed through the gate and crossed into the nebulous void. However, she was saddened by its desolate nature, and as she laid amongst the chaos, a very long moment passed by. It was then when her flesh and blood began to disintegrate: Ayla's body created Cornett of Order, and her blood Asnett of Chaos. From their birth, the twin gods resonated with their mother’s solemn grief, and so, Order and Chaos created Time. This world of nothingness then began to turn, change, and tear. And thus, a vast universe was born...
...Yet it remained barren. Cornett set foot onto a planet within the very center of the universe, where blazing flames suddenly began to spread over its surface. A dazzling fire lit up the entire universe, resulting in the birth of the Sun, though its extreme temperatures set aflame the neighboring planets as well. Asnett, attracted by this grand radiance, slowly paced around the scorching star as he observed this magnificent view. However, thick ice trailed behind his path, and he unconsciously wrapped the Sun in deep layers of frost, returning the universe back to its dark and cold state.
It takes countless years before the fierce heat of the Sun finally breaks free from its icy prison. Rays of light began to shoot out from within the frozen shell, where its radiance shone upon the surface of a certain frozen blue planet nearby. And all the while, Cornett watched quietly as the events unfolded before him. Light then began to melt the sheets of ice covering this celestial body, leading to the creation of its rivers, mountains, and flora. In the midst of such a barren universe, this planet suddenly appeared to be vivid and beautiful, and like a shining pearl… Eagarlnia was born.
Asnett then set foot upon this wonderful planet and began to run. Sharp stones cut the soles of his feet as he made his strides, splashing them with his divine blood. The earth began to take form, aggregating into short figures known as the first dwarves: the chosen of Asnett. At the same time, Cornett descended and pursued his twin brother. As he reached out in an attempt to stop Asnett, thorny plants pierced the flesh of his palms, coating them with his divine blood. Then, the bloodstained flora bloomed into tall and slender figures known as the first elves: the chosen of Cornett.
After many more years, descendants of the first dwarves began to use their craft and technology to shape the grand contours of the world. Meanwhile, descendants of the first elves created a plethora of fauna, enriching Eagarlnia with the vibrancy of life. As it would turn out, both Cornett and Asnett became very fond of this planet, each believing themselves to be its one and only master. Arguments between the twin gods arose and escalated, resulting in their followers — the dwarves and elves — waging a long and terrible war upon each other: the Iconoclastic War.
Unfortunately, the raging conflict ravaged Eagarlnia, tearing the magnificent planet asunder. Witnessing the devastation inflicted upon their beloved creation, the crestfallen Cornett and Asnett formally brought an end to the long-running feud between them. Together, they mended Eagarlnia's scars with their own bodies, and united their divine blood to create the new chosen people of this world: the first humans, those with the agency to choose between Order and Chaos.
With their duties fulfilled, the twin gods then fell under a deep slumber, where they still remain sleeping to this very day.
The Church of Barto’s Creation Myth
After hundreds of millions of years in deep slumber, a single whisper awakened Metus, the Great Monarch. While these occurrences signaled the birth of a new universe, it ultimately did not arouse his attention. As usual, Metus continued to spread his influence into the universe before falling into yet another eternal sleep. His messenger, Nyarsithep, was then tasked to carry out his will upon this brand new universe, where he then fell into a deep sleep.
Upon his awakening however, Nyarsithep found himself fuming with anger at the sight before him — the origin of the universe was no longer as it once was, for wicked gods had distorted its very appearance. In response to this crisis, the messenger hastily awakened Ghatanothoa and Hypnos, and sent them to eradicate the terrible creations of Cornett and Asnett. Where Ghatanothoa seduced dwarvenkind with their lust for power, Hypnos sowed the seeds of resentment among elvenkind. Together, the ancient gods silently orchestrated what would become known as the Iconoclastic War.
Nyarsithep observed the turmoil of the world with utmost glee, until Cornett and Asnett put an end to the great conflict. In doing so, the wicked gods deprived Ghatanothoa and Hypnos of their divine powers, placing them in a state of deep sleep. Fearing such power, Nyarsithep hid deep within the great expanse of the universe, silently waiting... watching...
For one day, Metus shall know of everything himself.
