World Building June - Day 1
“ Tell us about your world, what’s it about? ”
I’ll be working on something I call Arenthella, So strap in folks cus this will be a long post. Apologies in advance for poor comma placements, I never learned how they works. Hopefully I can put a ‘read more’ once I get into a computer.
The birth of Hera sparked a new time, between the void and the start. For eons, there was only her as she slumbered, waiting for her powers to grow. When she woke up, she was blind, unable to see anything but the void. So she made the stars, the lights in the sky that allowed her to see herself, to form herself.
For a long time, all she needed was herself and the stars. But after having counted every hair on her head, every vein in her skin, every beat of her heart, and having heard it all repeated again and again, she grew to wish for more.
And so, the first spark of existence came to be. The stars saw the glimpsing start of a new era: The Creation.
But Hera was still young and inexperienced, she could not control everything on her own. She needed help, so she made help. The four greater artisans: Geos, Thermos, Aeros, and Aquos. Each was given a region to rule over and each was given a part of the planet to help mold. With their help, Hera could now focus on creating life for her world. The first Thellers breathed the air and saw their mother. They titled her Hera, Greater Goddess of Life and Creation.
Life was peaceful for some decades, but as life made more life, Hera saw that space would run thin. Hera, being the greater goddess of life and creation, could not end, destroy, or in any other way remove her children from Arenthella.
Once more, she needed help, and once more, she made it. Daederos, Hera’s right-hand man, the God of Death and Destruction came to be, and the world was stable once more.
Along the ages came more deities like Wesolek the Deity of Trickery and Illusion, and Cibil the Seer of Time. All have their own stories and all wish to help Hera and her children.
One god joined far later than the rest of them, his name Barzillay. But his story, and the story of Daederos’ fall are connected and are both for another day.
