Alpha Story
nor dark, neither matter nor energy—only unlimited possibility. From this primordial potential, existence itself coalesced into order, and the first distinctions took form. These distinctions—the Proto-Forces—emerged as the fundamental building blocks of all things, forming the The Well of Being, or Cosmic Well, the crucible where forces intertwined and shaped all that was to come.
As the Proto-Forces interacted and combined, they gave rise to the structure of reality itself, much as the elements of a periodic table combine to shape the material world. The universe unfolded not in chaos, but in the systematic emergence of Creation, Destruction, Strength, Knowledge, Sun, Moon, Water, Air, Aether, and more—the forces that define all existence, across all realms.
As the stars ignited and galaxies took form, some regions of the Cosmic Well grew dense with concentrated force. In these convergences, beings of immense structure and power emerged—not separate from the Proto-Forces, but as their living expressions. These were the First Beings, gods born not from whim but from the structured interaction of divine forces, each embodying aspects of existence itself.
They did not create reality but rather shaped its flow, refining what was raw and untamed into realms of stability, allowing the Proto-Forces to manifest in new, complex forms. In their wisdom, they formed the first great realms, including Tír na nÓg, a sanctuary where existence could persist unchanging, pure and eternal, woven from the flows of time and mind rather than the constraints of matter.
Yet the Proto-Forces did not only shape the realms of gods; they also gave rise to The Mortal Realm, a place where existence was dynamic, changing, and subject to the flow of time. Unlike the divine domains, where structure was stable and perpetual, the Mortal Realm was a realm of transformation, a place where the forces of Creation, Destruction, Knowledge, and Change could evolve and unfold freely.
From this realm of potential, the gods saw the emergence of life, formed not by their hands but by the natural expressions of the Proto-Forces shaping matter, energy, and thought into living forms. Among these creations, one species stood apart—not because of divine favor, but because their structure embodied something unique:
Humans were not granted supernatural power or divine will, but rather the most potent mixture of Proto-Forces that allowed for adaptability, curiosity, and transformation.
They were woven from the same fundamental forces as the gods, but in a different arrangement—more fluid, more mutable.
They were the embodiment of potential, capable of manifesting creation, destruction, knowledge, and passion, shaping their own path within the Mortal Realm.
Though the gods observed from their realms, they did not command humanity’s fate. Instead, their presence was felt as the natural interaction of Proto-Forces upon the world—the movement of tides, the shifts of fate, the emergence of visionaries and rulers. Where divine intervention occurred, it was not the whim of celestial beings, but the direct interplay of structured forces upon the fabric of existence.
Thus, the Mortal Realm grew not through divine decree, but through the inherent logic of the Proto-Forces themselves. Just as in the formation of stars and planets, so too did societies, cultures, and philosophies evolve according to the structured dance of cosmic forces, revealing that all things—natural and supernatural, mortal and divine—are but variations in the endless interplay of the Proto-Forces of The Void.
