The Creator - The High God

The songs of creation tell of the One, the High God, who came from beyond. The High God came when all was void, when there was neither Krynn nor sun, moons nor stars. Then it was that the High God stepped through a door from distant worlds. Being alone in this new place, the High God chose to make other, weaker gods. As to how these gods were made, none know for certain.
Some songs relate that the High God opened a door in her heart to release the gods from beyond. Others say the High God brought crude gods with him through the door and fashioned them like a man whittling wood. Still others hold that the gods arose from the High God’s passions—love, hatred, joy, fear, contentment, rage, and so forth. All stories agree, though, that the High God is mother and father to the other gods.
At the University at Palanthus, translations of the Disks of Mishakal indicate that the High God was the chief architect of Krynn. Staring into the void, the High God envisioned a fair and beautiful world—not a wholly Good world, but a beautiful world all the same. Then, gathering the company of gods, the High God set them to work in forming all things. Reorx forged the great, spinning sphere while the other gods crafted the world’s marvelous intricacies, all according to the High God’s plan.
With the world’s completion, the High God was weary. Withdrawing from Krynn, the High God set creation into the charge of three other gods—Paladine of Law, Takhisis of Chaos, and Gilean of Neutrality. Still the High God watches these three pillars of creation, content to remain withdrawn. Most tales agree that the All-Mother/Father lives on, watching the events on Krynn, but few if any mortals worship this distant and silent creator. Some theologians believe the gods themselves pay homage to the All-Mother/Father. New tales and legends abound regarding the nature and fate of the High God as the folk of Krynn turn again to things unseen.
