Personal history

"In the beginning, there was only the lone consciousness of the Dead God. From Its will, It created a body for Itself made of voidstone as well as the void to live in. For aeons the Dead God lived alone in the void. With Its power, It created Atem, the world opposite of the void; filled with life. The Dead God breathed into the world to create the first living creatures. They held the Dead God's interest for only a while, as It became lonely without any other intelligence. For all Its might to create worlds, the Dead God could not create the companions It desperately needed. Without a reason to live, the Dead God decided to use Its own heart, the core of Its power, to infuse Its life with intelligence. It created the first men of Atem . In Its final moments, the Dead God watched Its creations and smiled; knowing happiness for the first time in eternity. As a final act of kindness, the Dead God chose a human to host some of Its power to shelter and guide mankind. The Dead God died watching Its creations. Its joyful eyes still watch over Atem and the humans, unblinking in death."
