Deities' Dogma

The Golden Age of Creation

During the 1st eon of the creation of the universe, the five elder gods created a world. A world filled to the brim with multiple densely packed tundra containing long, lushes grass ranging from burnt orange grasses to its crimson-coated ones, spawning from its frozen soil. Within these tundra filled lands one can expect to see many lakes spread throughout. A gigantic needle leaf forest at the centre of the world, dubbed 'Acus', as dense as they come with its trees ranging from 300 feet to 400 feet in length and at the centre of this forest lays an acacia tree with its stump being a little over a 500 feet wide and its trunk being 1,800 feet long. High mountains beset at the corners of the tundra of the land, the highest mountain being a little under 40,000 feet high, that of which mortals could only dream of climbing. Those that undertook the journey usually died within the climb from frostbite with the temperature being -50°C at the peak of the mountain and its winds being as ferocious and wild as the seas, which lay asunder, only those gifted in magic could make their way atop the peak for they could warm themselves using magic. The seas surrounding this singular continent can be rough and even deadly on occasions; however, they are usually tame and peaceful like the skies above. This world was then entitled 'Vivus'. After the creation of the world, they then added creatures, lesser beings, to roam around within their wonderful creation, ranging from the majestic and prideful Leo to the gigantic and peaceful Mammoths. The five elder gods then created their most versatile set of beings of all, the four races of intelligence.

The first to come to existence were the Humans; created by Abba, the god of Creation, humans were beings with striking resemblance to that of their god himself yet weak and fragile but at the same time intelligent and cunning, they lived in the towns and villages built atop the tundra by their ancestors. Like Abba, the humans gained the trait of creation, not divine creation magic, magic with which worlds could be built, but creating new things like buildings and such. Once a week the humans would go to their churches, their place of worship, in order to pray to their god for forgiveness if they had committed sin or just to hear the words he has to give to them. Humans were the most righteous ones of all the races and also the most creative and inventive, they followed a certain set of commandments of which were given to them by said god, these commandments are as follows:

I. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me and my fellow deities."

II. "Thou shalt not take the names of the Deities in vain"

III. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days thou shall labour, and do all thy work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Deities. On it thou shall not do any work, thee, or thy son, or thy daughter, or thy servant, or thy livestock, or the sojourner who is within thy gates. For in six days the Gods conjured up heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is within them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Gods blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

IV. "Honour thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land that the Deities are giving thee."

V. "Thou shalt not murder."

VI. "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

VII. "Thou shalt not steal."

VIII. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."

IX. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is thy neighbour's."

Their' body is quite complex as opposed to that of the lesser beings; Abba gave the humans the pleasure to see the world as the gods saw it by giving them a pair of eyes, from these eyes the beings gained the sense of sight. He gave them a pair of ears to listen to their creations; a nose in order to smell the entire aroma that of which they have laid onto the world; a mouth, teeth and a tongue in order to taste the delicious fruits that the gods had created. Although this might already sound like bliss to have all of these senses Abba gave the humans their most cherished body parts, the human hands and feet. The human hands included five fingers, which helped them to fully realise their potential at creating structures and tools, and the human feet, which help them to walk on two legs without losing balance; they stood 5 feet 10 inches high and had an average weight of 62 kg. To make them look attractive he gave them hair, not fur like the lesser beings but hair atop of their heads. Their average life span was around 87 years.
