The Creation of the universe, the world, and the continents

It is said the universe was dark, and all was nourishment to the architect of creation, Sartone, known as "the deep one."   As he fed on the worlds he created, the deep one bore six children, generated by the disgorged life essence he consumed. Their names were Iot, Tharkanos, Khal, Rahna, Sartho, and Ylorgon. Instead of eating them, the deep one sent them to create life as he devoured it because they inherited the power to produce life. But so vast was the universe, he ordered his children to wait for him so he could find the food, making them watch. Though his children obeyed, Iot, Tharkanos, Rahna, and Khal mourned for their creations. These children carried the life essence, which manifested their emotions.   One day, they created a world with a large landmass and water around it. It was beautiful, even in the darkness. This was their favorite creation. They did not want this world destroyed, so Iot, Tharkanos, Khal, and Rahna devised a plan to kill the deep one. When he went to feed on the world, they would strike. Rahna would freeze him in place as Khal would hold him with his might. Then Tharkanos would slice his stomach as Iot would smash his head with his war hammer. However, Sartho and Ylorgon disagreed, even threatened to warn their father of their betrayal. The children of the life essence fought their siblings and were victorious. Then the deep one arrived, but so mesmerized by this amazing creation, he failed to notice Sartho's corpse while Ylorgon was bound. When he approached this world, his children attacked.   However, the deep one was more powerful with every world consumed. Iot and Tharkanos were wounded. Khal and Rahna were killed. Before the deep one could kill his children, he was distracted once more by the grumbling of his empty stomach and turned his attention to the world. He grabbed it and bit into it, splitting the landmass. Then, Iot and Tharkanos stood up once more, and with the remainder of their will and strength, Iot bashed the back of the head of the deep one with his war hammer. Tharkanos used his greatsword and cut the belly of the deep one open. When the deep one's stomach was disemboweled, it poured out a clumped life essence, which made a bright sphere of light that illuminated the universe. Droplets of blood mix with life essence splattered. The droplets shined even in the dark universe. The body of the deep one disintegrated into dust.   This light revealed the beauty of their creation. Then, the two survivors agreed to make their world better. The bodies of their slain siblings and their life essence was used to augment it. This is said to be when time began for the world. As the other continents formed, Khalderahna was said to be the center of their creation.
