The World Egg is a creation story originating from the plane of
Ol'Mire that is tied to the beliefs of religious folk of
The Grey Nest. They believe that
the world is an egg that's about to hatch, and the devastating events of
The Rupture only solidified their beliefs - they claim that the
Rifts are actually the puncture marks of The Great Shell.
Before The Rupture, the plane of Ol'Mire was isolated and had no contact with the world and people beyond the rifts - they had no idea that another
world existed. For many it was a sign of
The Emergence (as foretold in the ancient religious texts of The Grey Nest), but for others they started to question their faith as this did not align with the original story. With the new connection to Melior this felt to them more like a
merging of worlds, not an
emergence into something bigger.
Devout followers argue that The Emergence is
into Melior, and that more rifts should be opened up to chip away at The Great Shell - the veil between worlds.

This is such an interesting myth - I love that some are beginning to question it because things don't line up, whilst others are doubling down on their beliefs. Very much true to the real world.
