First of the Gods Reveal : Hermes and Hephaestus
( Fathers of Ingenuity )
Creator deities of the mercurians, Hermes blessing their people with agility and the ability to process large amounts of information. Hephaestus blessing them with the gift of innovation and ingenuity, anything they touched could endlessly be optimized. When Hermes and Hephaestus were given their planet, Hephaestus carved and chiseled the regolith causing it to yield and be maleable to his divine hand. He begat many grottos and valleys, turning mountains into hills and hills into mountains. Hermes agilely took the mud and soot left over from Hephaestus’ work and began to shape many statues and sculptures in their likeness. Calling over the burly god, Hermes with Hephaestus filled them with a little of their ichor and divine breath, giving life to the first mercurians.
