Creation Myths

The Akarieans god theory
The most common creation belief across Trayst is The Akariean/ Elder god creation theory. The belief states that there was a great and powerful god far stronger than any of the gods known today, this god known as The Elder god came and created Trayst and the Akarieans who lived here until they grew proud and believed that they were equal to The Elder god they grew in power and technology they boasted to one another and mocked The Elder god, they decided that if they attacked him they could take more of his power and grow even stronger. this war raged for decades and the Elder God created the gods to battle on his side, the Akarieans managed to deal a horrific wound to The Elder god but he retaliated and destroyed the Akariens. The Elder go fled to recover but vowed that he would return to destroy all of creation, the god now left to their own devices decided to create a race like those of the Akarieans but couldn't decide what to make them like and thus some gods banded together while others worked on their own and created the various races. Many of the followers from different gods talk about the importance of their god during the war or how they created a specific race, or how they did something to bring about The Emergence.

The godly slumber theory
This belief states that their used to be seven gods used to live on in The godly Plane frolicking and playing, they designed the other planes from the elemental planes to the feywild and the material plane, but these were mere toys to play with empty and devoid of life. They created the lands and the sea the mountains and forests and even citties which are now known as the Akariean cities and artefacts but this belief states that these were never inhabited. The gods however grew tiered and board with just the seven of them the gods eventually couldn't stand being with one another anymore, they went to the separated planes they had created and just lay down to sleep. As they slept over the centuries the lands began to take on aspects of them the four gods who were most emotional became the elemental planes, the angry hot head's plane became the plane of fire while the indecisive dreamer went to sleep in the now elemental plane of air. the most beloved of the gods went to sleep in the Material plane and her twin sister in the feywild the last god chose to instead stay in The godly Plane and broke himself apart into the gods we know today. This is why the fey wild is so similar to the material plane and why the gods are so concerned with the people of the material plane. This also explains why the ethereal plane is so devoid of life as there isn't a god sleeping there and the godly plane is made up of gods along with the dead from other planes, rather than life that proliferates itself, as they are returning to the plane they truly belong in.

The Seen and Unseen creation Theory
The belief is that when Trayst was created it was barren and out of the sadness world was born the Akarieans they lived on the world and loved the world, they thrived there living off of the land, and they began to love the land that produced the food and the sun that provided the light. Out of this love was produced the gods during the day seven gods were created, they were seen by the Akarieans and they rejoiced and partied until it evening, but as the night grew cold and dark, the love known by the Akarieans turned to fear and while they were huddling scared seven more gods were created unseen by them. The Seven Seen gods took on all of the aspects of love and goodness, while the unseen took on the aspects of fear and evil. The Unseen gods waged war on the Akarieans and nearly wiped them out but the seen gods saved aspects of them and these aspects were planted in the ground of Tanalier where they grew into all the other species.
