Story of Creation

Spirits created the world and they created gods. Then they removed themselves from the equation.

— Metaphysical Truths of Creation, pg 8

While there are plenty of stories of creation, the pattern to them remains the same.

Before Time itself, there was the Void - an unbroken emptiness, filled only by the potential. From said potential, Yoruba came into being - great Spirits, unnamed and many. They gathered into two sides - the light and the dark - forming a gradient of the Great Empty. In time, two sides began to conflict, fight, but never mix. They separated further, united under their own respective sides, until the Great Clash.

From the Final Clash, Existence was born. Existence can be considered as a tangible blank slate that adheres to the First Rule - the Balance: black and white, dark and light, up and down, empty and full. Spirits could draw upon this blank slate - forming Creation. With each new Creation, the Spirits, once an entity of only two, became plenty.

The Creation was tiring work, however, and after each concept was created, the creator lay to rest - effectively either to make sure the concept continued to be, or perhaps becoming the concept itself.
