I'm going to try to write one of these for each of the Eight.

The Tale of Mara

"One of these, Lorkhan, was more of a limit than a nature, so he could never last long anywhere. As he entered every aspect of Anuiel, Lorkhan would plant an idea that was almost wholly based on limitation. He outlined a plan to create a soul for the Aurbis, a place where the aspects of aspects might even be allowed to self-reflect." And Lorkhan entered Mara.

Mara was Anuiel, contemplating the nature of motherhood, family, love. When Lorkhan entered her, she pondered what role her nature would play in a finite world, in which beings had finite lifespans. She saw the the mother, and father, continuing on in the life of their progeny. She saw how greatly such limited beings would treasure their children, the tenderness mothers would show their young. How could they do otherwise, when their children were them, for the next life cycle? The more she thought about it, the more she liked it; the more she grew to accept this idea.

"He gained many followers"

Muthsera Tarvok Spellbinder,

Although supplying cosmological mythos carries with it an innate proclivity towards substantial critical attractional, I must profess that I applaud your efforts towards adding dimension for the Divines, especially Lady Mara.

Please continue.

The Tale of Stendarr

Stendarr had a problem. Always, greater spirits consumed lesser spirits. Ideas would rise, ideas would fall, but lesser spirits would ultimately be consumed by greater, until finally all were ended by the greatest spirit of all, and everything would start all over again.

This was not good, in his mind. He envisioned (and was) a universe in which there were greater and lesser spirits, and they would contend for mythspace, but in the end, the greater would show what he called (and was) "mercy." That meant that the lesser spirit, though defeated, would be permitted to continue existing. It pained him to see perfectly good ideas go to waste simply because it was not strong enough. There were so many spirits out there...

"One of these, Lorkhan, was more of a limit than a nature, so he could never last long anywhere. As he entered every aspect of Anuiel, Lorkhan would plant an idea that was almost wholly based on limitation. He outlined a plan to create a soul for the Aurbis, a place where the aspects of aspects might even be allowed to self-reflect." And Lorkhan entered Stendarr.

And in a moment of inspiration, Stendarr realized that if there were some intrinsic limit to how great a spirit could grow, there would be plenty of room for the lesser spirits. If none could entertain the ambition of becoming the All, there would be less reason to destroy wantonly. Yes, placing certain limits could fit his agenda nicely.

"He (Lorkhan) gained many followers."
