((Since I assigned both their genders I just decided to flip-flop and turn Gemest to male in my last post for the previous post to make sense - if no one objects!))  ((edit:  Oops, actually I didn't - but it got taken care of in the next post!)

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. There were only five; some held to planets, others to domains. And so the gods were Altham; high one, Lurrei; balancer, Uruit; recorder, Gemest; life-giver, and Terros; death-bringer. Altham's love was given to the planet Tak, and all that was within it.Terros made her home within the confines of the 11th planet, but she visited each of the others regularly - for all men must die. Lurrei created her own domain; a remnant of the Splitting, a place of balance and equity, always half light, half dark; not large, but not small. Although Gemest had certain duties on most of the planets, he preferred to live and bless where the weather was most temperate; Pira, Tak, Grekim, Sphexi, and Earth. Uruit gave birth to the first humans, elves, and dwarves by Altham and reigned over Tak alongside her husband. Terros and Gemest also mated; in their union of opposites, Grensal; the outsider was born. Grensal did not have the powers of the gods, but none-the-less he was destined to live forever and could travel between the realms. The fires of Alendara were forsaken by the gods as cursed, so the children of Bor thought of their own false deities as true.

I just realised that my little note about Lurrei was in an awkward place in the chapter. you don't mind if i move it so that the whole thing will be more coherent? Thusly (changes italic):
