((This, i'd imagine, is sort of like Age-writing in Myst))

The vast black void split, and rushed forth a deluge of earth which formed what is the Earth. When the Earth itself formed, it gained sentience and found its self lonesome, so it divided itself into 12 different worlds, each with a different people. The first of these worlds was called Alendara, and was the home of the children of Bor. It was the world of fire. Second came Pira, world of water. Pira was the home of the Galtorites. Next was Imoha; a desert planet with few resources but two sentient races constantly at war: The Spider-race known as Kuttara, and the Ant-race known as Klaxxori. The fourth world was the land of eternal peace, where all things were good and well, and where all wish to go in their next life. And it was called Tak, which means peace, and from it's soil rose the Gulms, guardians of the gates of eternity. The fifth was Grekim, a planet of winged men and forests with trees as tall as mountains.The sixth world is known as Dragdim, a world in constant blizzard and populated by a race of ice giants called the Nnutoj. The seventh world, called Rahim, was a world of of crystalline landscapes and mirrors of the mind; no living creature walks it's earth, but certain spirits often end up here. The eighth was called Sphexi, a swamp planet populated by lizardmen and giant snakes. The ninth was Getim Huax, the mountain place, which was inhabited by the Toron Togosh. The Toron Togosh were creatures of rock and flesh; bone and skin were metal and rock, while blood and organs were hardy flesh.  The tenth was Lujim, a barren rocky world inhabited by strange creatures. The elventh was unnamed, for no creature had known it's surface, and it was dark in the night sky.

The Toron Togosh were creatures of rock and flesh; bone and skin were metal and rock, while blood and organs were hardy flesh.  The tenth was Lujim, a barren rocky world inhabited by strange creatures. The elventh was unnamed, for no creature had known it's surface, and it was dark in the night sky. The last world was the realm of change; evolution and natural mechanics ruled supreme; although magic was present as well as several sentient races, including humans, dwarves, elves, and many others.

((This sounds like a good place to change chapters, e?))
Spoiler: Beginnings, Chapter 1 (click to show/hide)
Once again the void opened, and from thence came the gods, to rule over these fully formed worlds.

((You could make a pretty awesome game out of this.))

((Looks like I made a little plot hole- Terros and Gemest are both female. Since their gods it doesn't really matter, right?))
