The Creation and Ascension of the Five

It began with a cry

A longing stirred in the void before the world existed. It became a tremor, then a spark, and finally the first cry. Sky, mountains and seas took shape from that sound. At the edges of creation, threads twisted and broke; the untamed lands left there became the rogue domains.

Five sparks moved through the forming world. Loralei rose with the dawn; Kranos took shape amid mountain fire. Sivaine awoke with an understanding of fragility, and Thalos emerged from the sea. Morbis formed where memories had gone unclaimed. They established separate realms, and their disputes over order, freedom and the duties of the living passed into the faiths of their followers.
