The Two Storywriters

Always known but never seemingly spoken of, is the account of The Two Storywriters. A Man, a bringer of chaos and a sower of broken seeds, and a Woman, like a spirit of the forest, skilled in beauty. The man tried desperately to write of a world in which his pawns could live peaceably, but try as he might, for years all came to naught. His pawns constantly laid waste to his lands, and he had no wisdom with which to stop them.

One day he built a gorgeous world, filled with beauty and peace. But in fear that it would go to ruin after he unleashed his pawns upon it, he sought the help of the woman, hoping she would be able to put an end his issue. She helped him create worlds of beauty and peace, without destruction and war. In return she was given immense power in his worlds, beyond any other. She did what she pleased without consequence, and he had a world to rule. He watched over his pawns, as he'd always done, but when they became too much for him he left them to the woman, and his problems would be no more.

Summary

The legend of The Two Storywriters tells of two beings who wrote and created a world of their imagination.
Together, the two made the world and maintain the balance of order and chaos. Upon the creation of the world, they created the three ethnicities: Chari, Aeris, and Raposa, and gave them each their own language. Along with each language was gifted a chronicle detailing the creation of the world and the two deities of this world. This book became known as the Codex.  

Sycta

Sycta, the female writer, walks among the world, doing what she saw entertaining, wreaking havoc yet keeping peace according to her own whims. At times, she is said to personally smite those who have done exceptionally evil wrongs, particularly against children. Sycta's Garden is her domain, and she reserves her Greenhouse as a parallel, condemning evil to her garden and good, especially victimized children, to her greenhouse. Sycta is associated with Dragons, magic, and the moon. Sycta's symbol is a six-horned dragon.   Followers of Sycta are expected to pray to her in solitude, often having a secluded, dedicated room in their home, and don't abide by any moral compass as the followers of Invicta. Most areas of Syctan Worshippers are notorious for their lawlessness.  

Invicta

  Her male counterpart, Invicta, watched over the world itself, ensuring the inhabitants did not lay waste to themselves or the land they resided in. He often resides in his library, the Hall of Creation, filled with relics of another world. His domain was logic and order. Invicta is associated with science, life, intelligence, and the sun. Invicta's symbol is a white raven.   Followers of Invicta often organize churches and set aside the last day of each week for learning and praying. They value morals and standards for living. The largest followings of Invicta are usually in larger civilizations driving advancement of science and technology.  

Traditionalists

People who primarily worship Sycta are Syctans, whereas people who worship only Invicta are called Invictans. Traditionalists, however, worship both, dogmatically holding that both storytellers created the world together. The relationship the storytellers actually have with each other is a debated topic.
