Ebdahat

Also known as the Bones of the Lands, the God-Eater, the Abyssian Mother, or the Astral Guardian. Ebdahat was so powerful and vast that its remains formed the known lands of Ebdypha when it was slain. But before it met its demise, it fought alongside the Aidrus and, killed, and devoured many Eah in the wars for the Monumidium. Though generally regarded as neutral in comparison to the Aidrus or Eah, Ebdahat represents the aftermath of war, formless power, the ancient unknown lost to time, and the nature of death leading to life.
 

Origin


  Ebdahat was the first and greatest of the Abyssians, creatures of godlike power whose birthplace was the Abyssos. And like all Abyssians, Ebdahat's birth was not brought about by any god or will, but occurred as an innate consequence of events. Because it emerged during a time when the Abyssos was vastly deeper and larger than any other time, Ebdahat was by far the most powerful of the Abyssians, able to match Aidrus or Eah in power.
 

Existence


  During the Primitus Age, Aidrus and Eah gods fought constantly for dominion over one another's realms. They fought for so long that their divine blood formed an entirely new realm known as the Abyssos. This war culminated in a showdown between two beings: Ebdahat, a powerful creature born of the Abyssos, led the army of Aidrus, while Fallasar, the Eah of light, led the army of Eah. The battle between the two shook the foundations of the Monumidium. Fallasar eventually overpowered Ebdahat and slew the creature. Its final tears formed the Old Sea, its final breath formed the air, and its body was cut into six pieces and formed land masses. The Celestial Eah ruled over the Aidrus and the Monumidium's realms became mixed together; however, Fallasar was injured in his fight with Ebdahat.
 

Legacy


  Ebdahat's body became Ebdypha, where the exiled Eah first walked. The land of Ebdypha was all but submerged by the Old Sea; jagged peaks protruded from dark waters and scraped against the Firmament, a layer of dark clouds that kept the air out of the Monumidium and held the scorching light of Celestium at bay. Celestium and Astrium began to settle to their original alignment, with Astrium above Celestium. The lands themselves drifted in the freshwater Old Sea like icebergs, and the Old Sea itself pushed down the Abyssos, and the two did not mix unless a great power intervened. Ebdypha proved a harsh and unforgiving land, and the Eah soon realised that it did not innately sustain them like the Monumidium did. There was no divine light to feed from, and Ebdypha was wild with rainstorms, dust storms, violent seas, tangled forests, and hostile mountains. They had to work the land to survive. But the Eah were lazy; they did not want to toil just to live. So Fallasar, Cuuhuina, and Hrememun came together to create the first Humans to work the lands of Ebdypha for them, and they obeyed the Eah without question.
