And the Shadowfrom did fester and the land above it was twisted and strange. No bamboo grew above it and the earth pushed away from it. Great mountains arose and twisted animals haunted their passes.

Eventually, the first Merfolk envoys approached the shores of the World Basket. They were able to live upon the land, for they were made in the image of the fluffy ones, yet unlike the fluffy ones. They did not live on it for long, for the Ocean called them back before the night came, and they came only to trade the goods of the sea with the humans and rodents.

EDIT: Oh, and thinking about it, and then looking it up, rodents actually lack canines, so Xarokan couldn't have made the Great Fluffy One's canine into a spear unless he had taken all of them and all rodents, in reflection of the perfect rodent, then lost their canines from then on. So I think maybe it would be a better idea if it had been an incisor instead.

Frankly, I'd be more confused over the "humungous spear" bit, given the Most Fluffy One is a fair bit smaller than a human head, and most of that is fur.

Ah, see, I had imagined he was immense, given that giant fleas roamed along his back and he had planets in or inside his ear. I also personally believed that the World Basket sat perched upon his belly, because that seemed rather cute.

Let's retroactively do that (the basket on belly I mean) .
Honestly the size of the Great Fluffy One doesn't really matter. As with all myths, inconsistencies exists and that's part of the fun!

You seemed to have skipped the Third.

Twas on purpose.

See:

In the beginning, there was a rodent, and it was small, and very, very fluffy. From it came the land, the sea and the stars, from one bodily function or another. Best not to ask too many questions there.

Also, I don't know where you're getting planets being inside its ear from, it leaves them lying around the universe. Sometimes it gives them a sea, sometimes it doesn't. It depends on bladder control.

I don't get it.

The third child, as in age-wise, did not receive knowledge; his/her younger sibling did instead.

[Kadzar]

And so the children of Xarokan brought their gifts to civilization. Iskus's clothes weren't very popular with the rodents, as they made them feel too hot and a bit itchy, but the humans appreciated them as a means to keep warm and cover up their dangly and jiggly parts.

Avide's crops were appreciated by all, but there was sometimes a problem of the rodents being too enthusiastic and eating at the crop plants before they were ready.

The humans found Fierte's writing useful for recording thoughts and memories, but the rodents were reluctant to adopt it, instead favoring their own scent-based "writing" system.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Iskus's clothes were not popular with the Merfolk, for they were sea-dwellers, and the clothes would be dampened and rendered useless.

Avide's crops were, predictably, not very much appreciated by the Merfolk.

However, they did adopt Fierte's writing, merely adapting it into their own form of writing.

And thus were the first languages eventually developed. Rodent, human, and merfolk.

[Kadzar]

And so the Furies saw their sibling grow prosperous from their gifts, and their envy grew. They contemplated stealing the products of their gifted siblings, but realized that, because of the knowledge they had, it wouldn't do much, since they could always make more.

But there was one thing their siblings couldn't make more of, and which was desired by many and they could easily steal: their father's pearl.

So, in the dark of night, the Furies snuck into their father's bedroom and stole his great pearl, which took all five of them to lift, and ran off with it to the mountains.
