Creation Myth

In the beginning, there was Oridei. Oridei “spawned” two gods of his direct bloodline, Vir and Iwaiden. Little is known about these two deities, as they have long been gone, disappearing along with the olden gods. Vir and Iwaiden loved each other very much, and had incestual god sex to birth the three patron gods, Dispater, the firstborn, Dea Matrona, the second, and Itol, the third. When Vir and Iwaiden disappeared, the three major realms were inherited and split between the three deities, Tartaros (the underworld) given to Dispator, Asgarde (heaven), given to Dea Matrona, and Assiah (Earth) put under Itol’s jurisdiction. One day, Itol had grown bored of his realm, as it was populated by no beings. On a whim, Itol asked for the assistance of his sister, Dea Matrona, in creating intelligent life forms with finite lifespans, thinking it to be a moral experiment. From his seed came the body of humanity, and from Dea Matrona’s breast came the lifeforce in their veins. In the beginning, humanity was free from sin, and lived happily with what little they had. Dispator, being the jealous god, devised a plan to bastardize them. From his breath came a cloud of sin, which filled the lungs of humanity, giving birth to greed, envy, and the rest. Angered by what Dispator had done, Itol lashed out at him, which ended in Itol losing his physical form and the majority of his power. Nowadays, Itol lives as the primal and natural mana that flow through Assiah, giving life to the sprites, and the fish, and the animals. Only a select few of humanity may tap into it and sense it though, so the majority of people don’t even register his presence in their minds.
