Origins of the Elders and the Great Storm
In the godless world, the three regions still existed. The Godless World was created by the Almighty, whose name would be spat on if we tried to convey it. The Almighty created the Godless World, then disappeared never seen by mortals nor god again.

Specifically in the region of Kasara, a great Storm had come and the farmer-warriors of Kasara prayed to heaven, hell, and ether, for a savior to come and help them. And such, a rain drop turned into the First Elder, Lomos. Lomos took the form of man, and he was perfect in every way. The spot where he was born, the great Stalk of Topethra was created, and as it skyrocketed through the sky and beyond, the Storm was destroyed. And from the great Stalk of Topethra, Vayuk, the glorious king of kings, jumped to the ground, standing tall with Lomos.

In Nyshii, the Storm took form as a plague, killing the fish, children, and seniors of the fishing docks. Imdite rose from the waters, and kept the spirit of the Nyshii strong, fighting off the plague with main character energy.

In Cyshara, the Storm took form as a flood, destroying homes, lives, and the livestock of the Cysharan nomads. Cytara, Elder of Time, brought the fallen back to life, and Estus, Elder of Magic, with immense energy, forced the Flood into the depths of the Godless World. Estus is often called to do immense tasks, and such, she is known to fall into a century long sleep after these tasks.

Creation of Rathnir
With the help of the other gods and goddesses, Lomos began to channel his energy into the roots of the sacred bamboo stalk he was summoned on. He poured his essence into the soil, creating a fertile foundation for the world of Rathnir to grow upon. As he did so, the roots of the bamboo began to spread, creating a vast and intricate network that would one day form the foundation of the world.

Over time, the world of Rathnir began to take shape. Mountains rose up from the earth, and great rivers flowed across the land. Forests grew lush and vibrant, teeming with life, and the skies above were filled with all manner of birds and beasts.

But Lomos was not content to simply create a beautiful world; he also wished to ensure that it would thrive and prosper. And so he taught the people of Rathnir how to cultivate the land, showing them how to grow crops and tend to livestock. He also gave them the gift of bamboo, teaching them how to use it to build homes, make tools, and create works of art.
