The Deep Mountain.

In ages of dust and storm, when the world was all but rock, a place where no life existed or beauty shone upon the surface. The world was bleak and hollow. However, the sky was filled with action of darkness and light, for there was Illino, God of light and Markollus, God of Darkness. The two had fought since the time of creation, tearing the sky in half with mixtures of stars and shadows. This lasted a millenia until, Markollus, created a fake light, one of which could mimic Illinos own stars. Upon revealing his newfound trick, Illinos became enraged that Markollus had attempted to create beauty. In her rage, she sent her star in a fit of flares, them crashing into the world, adding newfound energy to the our planet.

Whilst the two fought amongst space, Illino's Star ( our sun), and Markollus's replica ( Our moon ) affected the world. Soon a new good born of both would rise, known as the Atalas, The World Heart. It rose above the stone, cracking the ground and splitting lands into many. When the gods of light and dark came to realise of Atalas's existence, Spite grew in Illinos Heart. Illinos was jealous of the jewels on the surface, so pure and bright like her stars. Markollus saw the realisation of what had happened and wished to protect his creation. Illinos became sent fire and flame into the world scorching the land and destroying mountains. Markollus, afraid of losing this precious being, quickly carried the young god into the depths of the void, Atalas wept as it saw its jewels be destroyed, and flooded the cracks of where he came from as they vanished into the haven of the Void.

The remnants of Atalas's struggle can be seen in the world today, the ravines remaing from Atalas's creation, the ores and minerals of the skin of it struggling to remain on the surface. In order of Atalas's body, Coal is the skin, Iron for the nails, Redstone its blood, Diamonds his teeth, gold his mind. The place reffered to as the Nether from some is actually the remains of Atalas rotting, a decay of the beautiful jewels it once was. The remaining parts are Quartz, the hair, Atalas Bones ( Netherite) and some gold found still there. As for the The Old Gods, their battle can be seen in the sky, Illino's Star, or the sun as some quote, be seen still enraged and furious from times past. Markollus's replica is the moon, a bright stone that seems to bring calm and serenity to the world, which brings out all creatures out of safety.

Our belief is in the one true god, the World God Atalas and the Dark God Markollus, shall rise again to bring peace to this world, sharing his jewels with all. However there are many believers in the Light, claiming that such believeing in the underworld is heresy. So we stay in the shadows, hoping one day that our prayers are answered forth, and Atalas rises again.
