In the mist before GENESIS, Fate and Chance and Others cast tolls upon their names, while the chalice did burn and churn whose should be. And he that won strode through the mist unto YOD-VAV-HEH and cried: "Lo, wake upon the mist and create the heavens and the earth and make gods for me, for I have won over the crown and thy mist is mine to rule." And so as the cry was heard Fate and Chance and Others bowed, But whether it was Fate or Chance or Another that won the cast of the tolls before GENESIS-none-knoweth.

Welcome to Gods of Pangaeos.
This work is a reimagining of the creation myth, written as a stylistic marriage between the liturgical structure of Genesis and the high-fantasy, rhythmic prose of Lord Dunsany's The Gods of Pegāna.
In this world, the Creator is a sleeper, and the world we know is merely a "Game" played by smaller, whimsical deities during His slumber. You will find echoes of our own earth's deep past-Pangaea, Panthalassa, and Gondwana-woven into a tapestry of myth and "The Word."
A Note on Style: The text uses archaic phrasing and repetitive structures to mimic ancient holy books. If the gods seem cruel or indifferent, remember: to them, we are but the pieces on a board.
I hope you enjoy the "Game."
