Erde

Before time ever existed, before there was life and death, there was only the Moon and the Sun and a barren world. The Sun and Moon constantly rotating it. Century after century, millennia after millennia, the world always ending up the same. A former child of theirs wanted to be with his beloved so desperately that he was willing to forsake the whole world in the process, sacrificing all life to finally bring her back and set her free from her fate, and he always did, in a way, but always at the cost of her life and his imprisonment in darkness, that he always found a way to escape from. The Sun and Moon wanted to find a way to save this world, the world they created for their children to roam free upon, however, they first must find that way. So, they waited, they waited and thought. The world remained barren as they encircled it, willing to keep it as so before starting over again. Finally, they thought of a solution. First they created their 10 children, great beings of ethereal powers that stem anywhere from the sea, to the land, and above. Before sending them to the world, they were told that one day they must choose a champion to save not only the regions they will be sent to, but the world they will now protect. They know full well that the imprisoned one will return and try to save his love again, and in the mean time, several gifts will be given to them, to give to their champions. Without these gifts, their regions and world will perish, but these gifts can't be freely given, their champions must be tested, and so their children were sent to the barren world, to renew it with life again. The white scarab touches the barren world first and strengthened the land. His region looks over a desert to the East and all that is born within. Then follows a white otter which brought forth the sea and oceans, slowly seeping into the land. His region is to the West, but is connected to all bodies of water, great and small, and the creatures born within. After the otter came the white horse which created nature, grass, tree, moss, etc. Her region is towards the West, where the land meets the sea. After the horse is the white fox, a bit of a mischievous goddess, but she bore beautiful flowers, the harmless, the dangerous, and those that can heal. Her region is towards the Southeast, in a forest shared by both faes and humans. Then comes the white owl, a very knowledgeable creature that gave the world the sky, clouds, and the weather. His region is towards the Southwest, in a land that is shared by humans, fairies, and dragons. Now comes a white stag, and he brought elemental magic to fire, water, air, earth, thunder, and ice. He lies towards the Northeast where the land meets the sea. After the stag comes the white wolf, and every step he makes turns to ice, the bearer of snow. His region is to the North where the mountains reach the sky and beyond where elves and humans worship him. After the wolf is the white serpent dragon, bearer of fire. Her region lies to the Northwest where the land can experience all seasons. Lastly we have the twin swans, one of pure white and the other of pure black that represent opposites of each other, brought forth a magical forest of magic and enchantments, creating all sorts of magical creatures within this forest, especially faeries. The swan sisters lie in the very center of the world, home to humans, elves, dwarves, and dragonborn. Their children is sent, but something doesn't feel right with the world, at least not yet, until the Moon realized that they too can be a part of the world, to help it this time. From within the Sun and Moon, they used a portion of their divinity to create two more children. A golden eagle to represent the Sun and a silver bear to represent the moon. The eagle went towards the Northwest, where the people are one with the elements and the bear went Northeast where the people live side by side with spirits from long past. The world is now set and ready to take on the bringer of destruction and chaos, for when the champions are born, the world shall be saved, at least the Sun and Moon hope it will.
