The Elders


In the beginning before the plains existed there lived 3 elders A'xio Elder of Space, Ot'embaro Elder of Life, and E'xeria Elder of time. The 3 floated there for thousands of years until 1 of them has an Idea, a game. A'xio made 3 dice appear before all of them. "lets play a game first 1 to roll 3 6s 75 times in a row, gets the other 2's powers for the next 300 years". the other agreed and began rolling the dice. Years went by and each dice roll carried a fraction of the elder's power due to them trying to rig it, but A'xio knew this and made the dice expel their power the moment they added it including his even though he tried rigging it anyway. After millenniums of them rolling over and over, the Plain of Rathnir took shape. Earth shaped into mountains and cliffs, Seas carved holes in the earth, clouds floated above it all. Fire covered the earth til rain and after the rain life began to bloom. Animals took shapes changing to fit the chaos. But the game ended in a tie after all this time. Each of them rolled 3 6s 75 times in a row and all of them ran out of powers. The Elders looked down and saw want they made. They loved it. But after all their energy expanded they faded into the land they formed. Their bodies energy mixed with one another forming the 5 Main gods. Aros, the King of the gods being the oldest and was born with the sun. Hoggest was born underground in a cave and broke the through the earth after years of  being in a cave with each hit on his underground roof he felt the death and souls forge with his body. Bahiri was formed in the ocean, and was quite the trickster to all the other gods. Moloba was formed from the clouds and has all 3 minds of the Elders knowing all the information they knew. Ferasi was born among the animals but first was a deer, but every animal it saw it mimic and transformed copying the animal, giving birth to its ability to change into any animal it sees.
