The World of the Wayward Prince
"Through breath the Nameless One begat the world. All are creation of the divine breath; from the mighty servants of heaven to the lowly grasses of the valley. The essence of the Nameless runs deep in all."
Then the Nameless became absent, Its throne sat empty. Many of Its mighty servants set out to care for Its creation. Some chose to exploit it.
So it was that the world was shaped by the ones left behind.
