It sounds very promising so far. The cold facts were
Unlike in some myths, here God was definitely not a natural craftsman. After creating the stars and the earth, god brought forth the first of all creatures on a plain of rock, in a temple where magma and water meet.
The first of the firstborn, the halflings Adam and Eve, instantly conflagrated and burned with inner heat while trying to kill each other out of mercy. So god declared living creatures should not have a higher inner temperature than it takes to melt their flesh.
Next verse, god decides the spine and the skull are to be inside a halfling's body and not on the surface, and that clothing is to be worn on the skin and not on the skeleton. Later still, trying to create hair, the creator makes everyone grow hair as thick as their bones all over their bodies, that's in all the colors of the rainbow in patches. Next verse details the creation of the "face" in the front of the head to be home to various formerly randomly scattered body parts. Then god possesses one halfling to murder a hundred in order to test whether their skulls are sufficiently thick. And it's just downhill from there on when the combat prowess of all the rest of creation is measured by how many halflings they can kill.
That's why leading halfling academicians craft and bury elaborate fossils in the earth to later uncover and theorize on - to protect everyone from having to know the horrible truth of the world.
but that's a much nicer spin on things.
If we're to be gods in this myth, which is fun
, I'm a bit opposed, on a personal level, to "Greater" and "Lesser" creators because I feel that puts more merit on the other, while to it me it seems that this project will absolutely die if there's no players and no stories, and nobody will want to mod if there's no buzz and no interest and no fantasy, so anyone who submits good stories should definitely be on equal terms with anybody who has modded a few creatures...
I would easier see these in theological terms in relation to the world as both are transcendent (from outside the world), some are emanant, "outsiders" (the world is created from them, but they do not dwell in it) vs. some are immanent, "insiders" (the ones who dwell and are involved in the world). That's what it's come to anyway. And then separate from all is the material world.
On the other hand if it doesn't seem like it bothers people then no issue.
