AEZVAREM

Object of Nothing and Everything


In the beginning existed nothing but motionless, perpetual abyss of absolute nothingness with but a thin tiny fragment of an existence that meditated. This existence took no form, and took all forms. This Nothing of Everything was neither god nor human, mortal nor immortal. This was the high power of balance and judgement – this was creation itself. The mediating form grew bored of the absence of any existence by Itself. Nothing at that space changed. There was no such thing as time, and so, he created movement. Movement is dependant on time, and thus, Time was born.

Aezvarem removed a pumping vein from his body and released it to create the kinetic energy required for motion. This motion helped set the flow of time that now exists in the world. However, Time could not affect anything as there was Nothing but time and Itself. And so Aezvarem scratched Itself letting debris fall, and combine into Varemor and Elbien, the first gods to be born by Creation. Creation created gender along with the creation of these gods, dubbing Varemor “men”, and dubbing Elbien “women”.


ELBIEN & VAREMOR

Daughter-Mother and the Father-Son


Elbien and Varemor – being as they were both of the same creator – were linked to the thoughts of their Creator. Bother were tasked with jobs, both held opposite tasks that combined Created a mutual balance.

Elbien was tasked to birth the light of the world. She worked tirelessly creating balls of powerful light that shined brilliantly and named these the Stars. However, the nothingness that surrounded the Stars lead to them falling, and so Varemor conjured darkness which enveloped the emptiness around the stars to keep them in place. However no job can be done perfectly and there were pockets left of the Nothingness that Stars often drift into, creating potential energy that inevitably becomes kinetic energy, sending the stars falling through the sky.

The Creator was astounded by the pairs work, however, It wanted to add one final touch to the world. He wished for Physical. The Creator, Elbien, and Varemor were simply entities that existed such as their Creator, they were Nothing of Everything. So, the Aezvarem created the Physical world and created Form – or, also known as a shape that contains values that was dependant on the Light created by the Stars.

Elbien and Varemor were proud of each others work, and eventually became Lovers – as Aezvarem intended. Elbien and Varemor began to work together to transform the physical object – the land we live on – into a less boring object. They enjoyed the new idea of Form and Value that they created high ridges, low gorges, rolling planes, and the high mountains. They played with all the possible uses of Form and Value to create the place we live today, however their worked stop one day, as an unruly set of events occurred that deviated their planned paths into a directions that they were not happy about. Their existence expanded.


SYLVENE, EILLEN, LAMEZAIRA, & VONNARIEGO

The Second Era of Gods


Elbien had given birth to four children of gender; two girls, and two boys named Sylvene, Eillen, Lamezaira, and Vonnariego (respectively). Elbien loved her children, and was astounded how they were graced as an entity, much like their parents. Varemor was not precisely happy about this however. In an unexplainable event that existed not outside of him, but inside, he felt something. He felt, Emotion. He was angry, and yet, he was happy. The children were beautiful, but he could not take care of them.

This was part of the Creator’s divine plan, as Aezvarem understood both future, past, and present since he is the one who created the flow of time itself. The Creator – to teach his children – decided to give Varemor what he wanted, by taking his children.

Elbien begged Aezvarem to return her children but It would not. Her tears – sadness – were so strong they became part of the physical world, landing onto our Land in what we now call as “Water”. It was at this moment both realized the existence of Emotion, which was birthed with the children. It was then Elbien and Varemor realized the children contained powers much like their parents. Varemor felt defeated. He knew he had done the wrong thing. He begged the Creator to return the children, but It would not return them.

As time passed, eventually Aezvarem returned the children to their parents. It had been many years since Elbien and Varemor had seen them, and they were shocked when their children were returned. Their bodies had been effected by the Flow of Time.

Aezvarem decided to return the children to help finish the painting they had started, as the children had matured to a state where they could control the release of their power. It was at this point the Creator removed the flow of time from the children and removed the ability to birth further Entities.

Eillen began by creating the fresh water that ran into the salty oceans of the Tears of Elbien and also worked in partner with Lamezaira who created the skies and out atmosphere. Together they created a cycle that keeps the fresh water running fresh and the salt water flowing salty.

Sylvene created tiny objects to help keep the cycle of Existance flowing. These objects are tiny objects that are invisible to our eye. They help support the infinite burning light of a star by making it into a powerful ball of flame. These small invisible objects also helped support the new, first life form of the planet – vegetation. The heat from the sun helped the vegetation grow, while the cycling water that comes down from the skies helps keep the plants alive. In a final act, Sylvene used an incredible force to knock the planet spinning. This made the Day and Night cycle which helped to show Time on the planet.

The other gods were jealous of Sylvene’s work as she did more than any of the others, and received more praise from their parents. Each stepped up to create something that would be more magnificent than Sylvene’s work. Eillen Made the light break to create colour. Lamezaira created Physical Law which effected everything to have a specific energy, and created “Falling”. Vonnariego noticed that none of the gods were capable of really making the Painting perfect, and as the final attempt to impress his parents, he created Life. It was a small, one celled organism which over time spread, and grew into People, who carried out the duties of the gods. However, these “People” were inferior to the gods – just like the gods are inferior to Aezvarem – and were dependant on the Laws created; of Time, Space, and physics.
