The Birth of Daolmecc
I was told by them who knows...
In the time of beginnings, when the Seven Spheres were still whirring far overhead like the busiest bees that ever took flight, was magic here bestowed. Oh, we would love to say 'invented', wouldn't we? It would feed our collective egoes so full to bursting if we could say we invented magic, but the fact is that it was a gift from the gods and goddesses that came to manifest here as life took shape. The multiverse is exceedingly strange; and chance is exceptionally fickle. The facts, such as they are, are that these divines had already been dreamt into existence by the Great Weave that encompasses the entire dance of creation. So therefore yes, I choose to use the word 'bestowed', even though it was the seven glass balls that wove the stuff of creation that modulated the divines from an idea to a reality. It was they that created the framework for Mystra to work from when she created the finite and repeatable rules with which to cast even the greatest dweamors. But to continue, though this tale teller no longer draws esteem for the timbre of his voice. Nor, dare I say, the depth of his interpretation! Yet my memory is as sharp as a rose's briar, never fear! The integration of the Seven Spheres complete, they began to circle the planet, more and more quickly, until they were moving so fast they were invisible to the naked eye. And, as they traversed Tellus' frame of reference time and time again, crossing and criss crossing over and over, the nanites they were generating simultaneously programmed themselves for such a myriad of tasks that they had been, upon their invention, compared to the cells of a newly conceived foetus. The myriad systems and principles involved in the process were inconceivably complex. Inconceivable to everyone, that is, except for Doctor Po Arendarensai and her research partner and twin brother, Col Arendarensai. She called the system a 'self learning algorithm that would spontaneously adapt the crystalline structures of the quantum scale computers being used. Now, it is said that even a mind such as Doctor Arendarensai's must make mistakes, or at the evry least, errors of ommission. She argues that her fallability must certainly be true, but that she cannot confirm or deny why the terraforming process did what it did to all of that beautifully helical deoxyribose nucleic acid. Oh sure, most people were left unchanged. Regular old human refugees from a broken and distant planet. But many had profound changes made to the coding of their genetic sequences. Changes that altered the way their bodies would adapt to stressors and stimulii...and then, when the Impact changed every single life on Tellus, the process was so sped up that entire races emerged. Races that already existed on other planes of existence, and were very new to this one, but who brought their own histories and circumstances with them. Elves, Dwarves, Orcs...all of them! Any you can think of, came to be here on Tellus in this manner. Here we are at a strange confluence of time, space, and entropy. Not a unique confluence, but strange nonetheless. And now that the formalities are out of the way, the more easily told the tale of the water genie Daolmecc. Created serendipitously as part of a great melding of magic and technology as the first of the great terraformations occurred, the gentle creature wanted nothing more than to nourish those it loved...and it loved many! It loved each leaf, root and twig that it helped to water. It greeted each raindrop with joy and each skatebug with wonder, and when people emerged from their shelters and began to live upon its shores, it rejoiced. Those people were blessed with a thriving life of plenty. Their crops were abundant, the game was prosperous, and the predators few around the spring at what the humans would come to call Ahuatl. And for the next thousand years, Daolmecc served the people of his spring joyously and freely...As told by Helman M. Ayo
