Myth Story
In the beginning Lilith, Goddess of Darkness ruled over the “land before rune.” Her many children writhed and slithered across the ground, living in darkness. There was nothing in the darkness, but then, in a great blast, Sol was born. He bathed the land that was in light. Scarred, the children of Lilith scattered and hid, but Lilith, having never seen his like before, grew smitten with Sol’s light. Sol looked upon Lilith, and loved her. He reached out with his spear of light and carved upon her the face of Rune, creating for her children land separated from the sea where they could live and bask in the light. Sol reached into Lilith and drew forth Freya, Goddess of Nature to tend to the life of the land and sea. The children of Lilith grew strong and danced and played in the light. Soon they grew rambunctious and Lilith birthed the greatest of her creations, Bahamut, king of dragons, to bring order to the world.

For a time they were happy. But eventually Sol grew tired and slept against Lilith. Darkness returned and the children grew frightened and angry. They pleaded with Bahamut and Freya to return the light. Together they awoke Lilith who woke Sol and the light returned. Sol grew angry at having been awakened, and threatened to destroy what had been created but Lilith calmed him and instead he split himself in twain and pulled forth Luna who would keep watch while Sol slept. All was well and Sol laid back down to sleep, but Sol did not sleep. He watched Luna as she danced across the sky. Her soft light brought joy to the children and it caught the attention of Sol.

Sol would watch Luna while he rested and during the day he watched her while she slept. Eventually Sol approached Luna and asked her to dance with him in the sky. Luna agreed and the beauty of their dance shone upon the world lighting all of Lilith’s children. From this dance came humanity, and the other races of the world. All rejoiced, save Lilith who grew jealous and angry.

Lilith lashed out at Sol, splattering his blood upon Rune, and from his blood rose Volk, the God of Death. Sol took Luna and rose into the sky to escape the vengeful Lilith. But lilith took Sol’s blood, reached out, and wiped the blood on Luna tieing her to the darkness. ensuring that Sol and Luna could never be together. Then she turned to her children and bid them feast upon the blood of man and so it was. Resigned to his grim mantle, Volk reached out at started to guide their souls to the afterlife.

Furious he could not be with Luna and at the death of his children he hurled his spear into the ground and where the molten rock poured out it formed Exiter, God of Honor who fought back the darkness and taught humanity to defend it self from the children of Lilith. Sol returned to the Sky to forever chase Luna across the sky.
