The First Age
The planning stage over, the real creation was underway. The world was oversaw and governed by the 8 gods who kept vital watch in these chaotic times.
Of course the governing wasn't perfect. They half destroyed all there work trying to figure out who was in charge among them. But in the end it was all part of the creation process itself.
And who were they? Or what did they do during this time?
Well...
Gaia, goddess of creation, slapped together the land and created new species.
Chaos, god of destruction, destroyed failed attempts and disasters. Though he ended up destroying nearly everything else in his path as well.
Lilithian, goddess of fate, kept all the new life forms in check. They weren't ready to run free in this wild world yet.
Chronos, god of time, had his stuff going on.
Geo, god of earth, went through a couple name changes, tried to keep balance in the earth energy, and helped Gaia make mountains.
Aquis, goddess of water, explored all the potential there was to the world, recorded half of it, kept balance in the water energy, and helped make oceans and rivers. (All while filing her nails.)
Taio, god of fire, dabbled in the art of combat, kept balance in fire energy (nasty business), and helped start flames beneath the earth. They also gave him the happy little task of creating sunlight.
Windy, goddess of wind, helped the air and breeze to circulate evenly through the world. Which seems to be even harder when the world is under construction.
As mentioned before, the gods weren't quite sure who was in charge or who was supposed to be doing what where.
This continued for a good while, until a human did something none had expected.
This particular human didn't like the way the gods did things. He didn't even like the gods. In fact, he didn't particularly like humans. Due to this fact, he lived alone in the woods. Probably one of the reasons he didn't like humans.
But through an unclear series of events (also known as "I haven't played it out in full scripted clear color") he gathered an army of men and marched forward against the gods.
This was where Lilithian came in handy most. She could control most humans and make them drop out or even turn against the army.
But for some reason she couldn't control this man.
He marched onward against them, defying them wherever there influence held strong.
Eventually they beat back this man, but the effort had forced them to form a working team. They saw the misdeeds of their fighting and vowed never to battle on such a scale again. Yah, we'll see how long that lasts.
Meanwhile, the Creator had been watching it all. After careful consideration he decided to visit and make some revisions.
He decided, first, that Chaos would only act when absolutely necessary.
He was to sit tight unless under express orders to destroy something in particular. And then to destroy only that.
The next thing he decided was to remove the concept of fate. You see, in watching the humans battle he realized there will was so strong and there determination so great that forcing them to run a specified course was a crime in itself.
Which meant Lilithian was out of a job.
He told her that if, and only if, there ever came people from another world she could govern them.
His final act was to designate different sections of the land to the 6 available gods and let them reign over them as they wished.
They agreed. Though Gaia only did on the condition that another goddess, Eden, would get her own land. She had been vigilant during the creation of the world.
The creator agreed, and gave her an island to live on.
Then Zain, another elemental god but not quite enough to make a major one, demanded that he be given land of his own. Most of the gods disagreed saying that he wasn't entitled to this land. He disagreed.
After careful consideration, the Creator decided that he was just as important as the rest in the long run.
Chronos supported this theory.
So, Zain was assigned his own land.
Then all the people were placed within the land of their element.
Fire people in the land of Chini.
Water in Agua. Wind in Gale, and Earth in Terre.
Eden's land, named after herself, became the territory of Krann. And all plant life became her people.
Finally, Zain set up the land of Magnetico Lectricas, the land of electricity and plasma.
Meanwhile, Lilithian, who'd been exiled to an island of her own, set up the territory of Destin.
As for Chronos... Well, he's got the whole Underworld to rule over.
And thus the Clans were born. And the First Age came to a close.
(Please note that this took place over hundreds, maybe even thousands of years.)
