Creation Mythos

Most religions in Eternia describe the creation of the world in their scripture, and the details tend to vary. Very few deviate from the core belief of the creator having manifested the world as an Archangel. This page is a WIP.

At first, there was only Chaos. The land, ocean, and sky was a swirling mass, lacking structure. The spirits were born out of a necessity by the creator to establish an order to the world and a natural cycle- his soul was split into each of the divine spirits. Jiuweihu provided the light to guide them in their trials, peaking into the shadows. Jormungand, the great water serpent, tried to tame the oceans, but Chaos did not allow it (establishing the tide).

Given their failures thus far, Quetzalcoatl came up with a plan to lure out Chaos, and with the help of Ixchel and Huatl, the moon was created, a perfectly round structure, which Chaos of course left to corrupt, only to be entrapped by the rock following a fierce struggle. The divine spirits were succesful as they joined together to trap the malice within the sphere.

Jiuweihu drew inspiration from the moon, and soon created the sun in its likeness. The light would illuminate the world for humanity while also keeping this dark force at bay, shining directly toward them. The divine spirits then began to shape the world, giving life to the elementals: the dancers in the flame, the voice in the wind. Animals and dragons were created in their image.

Soon after, the angels appeared. While the creator wasn't present, causing dissaray among them, as they expected to meet him rather than the divine spirits in Eternia, he had tasked them with an important duty... Work alongside the divine spirits to shape humanity, the gatekeepers of this new world. The innate goodness and purity of the angelkind was instilled in humanity, but also the unique aspects of the spirits, such as Ixchel's love for hunting or Jiuweuhi's insatible appetite for knowledge.

For many centuries (before recorded history) the First Men were taught alongside the spirits. Magic was a lot more powerful during the dawn of time, and the original humans could live for many centuries.

The demons were not created by the divine spirits or the angels. They were born of human thought, nightmares to be exact, taking shape as a result of the powerful magic that flowed through the world.

Once their task was complete, the divine spirits faded away (though occasionally shapeshifted and walked among humanity to teach), but the angels remained, insisting on waiting for the return of the creator.
