Creation of the World
Before time, before the elements, before nothingness, there was the @Wyld. Untamed Essence. A swirling ever-changing realm of insubstantial beings both of and in command of the Wyld. It is unknown if it was the Wyld itself, a Faerie's dream, or something beyond the Wyld that spawned them, but within the Wyld the First Two came to be. We know them now as Thesis , pure creative energy, and Khaos , the space and boundary within which Creation, and the Heavens reside. From their union spawned the first divine beings: Khronos , Ananke , Tartaros , Eros , Gaia , Physis , Hydros , Erebus , and Nyx .
From Khronos the Father of Time and Ananke the Mother of Necessity, came the Moirai, the Fates who control the beginning, destiny, and end of all things. The Islands (Nesoi ) and Mountains ( Ourea ) of the world were born from the union of Gaia, Creation herself, and Tartaros, Lord of the Unseen Sky , the touch of whom Gaia spurned after giving both to the greatest of the monsters, the Teras, Python and Typhon. Nyx, the Night, Queen of the Protogenio , and Erebus, Darkness itself, spawned a great many of the first spirits whom would later be called gods.
The greatest of these unions was between Gaia and Ouranos , whom had been granted the title of Lord of the Visible Sky by his father, Aether - The Visible Sky itself. By Ouranos, Gaia gave birth to the the Elder Kyklopes , the Hekatonkheires , the Hundred-Handed Ones, and the first of the newest race dubbed the Titans .
Kronos, the youngest and most terrible of Gaia's children, castrated his father and ascended to become King of The Gods. His father's genitals fell into the sea, where other beings were then born of its parts, including Aphrodite . The titans served in Kronos's court and his sister Rhea be took to be his wife. The Hekatonkheires refused Kronos's rule and were confined to Tartaros, tasked with being its jailers. Thus the division between Tartaros and the Underworld was created.
The Protogeniowere saddened by the loss of their kin, Ouranos, and to revive his spirit they sacrificed their ability to personify themselves, instead becoming one with the world they had created. Thus they can no longer be killed without unraveling all of Creation and the Heavens themselves. And thus began the world
Summary
The world was created by spirits called the Protogenio within the boundless Wyld.
Two of these beings Gaia and Ouranos bore a second type of spirit the Titans who took control of the Heavens by killing Ouranos.
The Protogenio became one with creation and began the world in earnest.
