The Tablet of the Ocean Sun

Several centuries ago, a large and weird rock was found under the water outside the coast of the Fonezian Island. Acoording to a legend, that rock was the sun of the ocean. Several wars broke out between the tribes to get the rock. Once, the Kwanu (a tribe of the Fonezian Island) got the rock. The Kwanu chieftain then chopped off a part of the rock and made a stone tablet out of it before he put the rock on a boat and sailed far away to put the rock, which he belived was the sun of the ocean, back into the ocean. After he died a temple was builded in his honor where the stone tablet is stored. It's a sacred place which symbolizes the spirit of the ocean.
Underlying Myth/Legend:
Before there was anything else in the world, there where two suns who ruled the blue sky. There was neither an earth nor an ocean, and there where no clouds in the great sky. The suns had much in common. Both of them symbolized power, heat and strength. But the suns were spirits, and since no spirit can be exactly like another spirit, they were a bit different in some ways. One was the spirit of light, and the other was the spirit of moisture. From the moisture, the light and the heat of the two suns, the moon was created. The moon was the spirit of love and the night. Suddenly, the sun of moisture died. The spirit lost its heat and fell to the bottom of the sky. The air around the dead sun-spirit's body began to turn into water, which the sun's spirit dissolved into, while its dead body turned into rock. The water grew larger until it became the ocean from which the lands and islands arose from.
