So just to dust something off and put it out here for the dev's to use....


In the beginning all was nothingness there was no world, there were no stars, no moon, no seas or lands. There was just nothing and the Worldsmith. In this time before time the Worldsmith realised he was alone and that loneliness weighed heavy upon him. So much so that he decided to make something to ease his pain.
Thus it was that the Worldsmith gather together bits and pieces of the nothingness. With these he first made a hammer and then an anvil, yet not all things are perfect made on the first try, thus using his hammer and anvil he created another better hammer and anvil. From this thundering smithing did fly sparks far and wide. Thus came the stars into exsistance and their light spread through the vast reaches of the nothingness.
Then when the Worldsmith finished his new tools did he use them to craft his old hammer & anvil into something new. Thus did he mold his old anvil into the world and his hammer into the moon. Yet his work was not finished for the world was moletan and hot so did he gather ice from the far reaches of nothin. Using the cold he chilled the world and the ice he used melted filling the world with oceans and lakes, rivulets of the flowing water made rivers. Worldsmith did rejoice proud of the start of his creation yet he was not done. Seeing the world he made needed light, more so than the far flung stars provided, he grabbed the largest spark and placed it near to the world so that it would have light and warmth.
Thusly the world now had light and dark, hot & cold and oceans & lands. Yet the Worldsmith realised his world was still an empty thing and he was still lonely. Thus he gathered the ashes and shaving of his crafting and from these he wrought other beings breathing life and power into them. To these the first born he granted power and showed them his world bidding them to craft creatures & people to live upon it.
So then did the first born create animals and creatures as well as the races of man. Worldsmith looking upon their works was pleased and decided to make a people for himself. Thus did he make the first dwarves and bid them to dwell in the world. In them he instilled the desire to create and explore the depths of the world. Then seeing his work was done and being very tired Worldsmith covered himself with the nightsky and rested.
