The Beginning of All

"A void, timeless, endless, and featureless. I am weak, close to the end I fear so much. In an act of desperation, I use nearly the last of my remaining power to create something out of nothing. A monastery, floating in the void. Then I create seven creatures, each varied in appearance and personality. They worship me, and although they supply new strength, it is a meager amount. I allow new hope: perhaps the end isn't so near."
This is the memory that every man, woman and child was gifted, one strange day in 3387. It was part of a series of odd events that happened over the course of a few days that year.
Some still search for the Temple of Creation, the monastery seen in that vision. Its location has been lost to time, but it has been searched for by scholars, adventurers, and the occasional tyrant who thinks great power still lurks there.
