Novacism

Prologue:
''As cities burned and comets fell, Novac cried in regret. He saw men women and children burn in their own homes. He stood idly by as he watched fathers burry their sons in fire in which they died. And as the two worlds were destroyed, he stood, knowing they could have lived better lives.''

Creation:
''After the destruction of Rathnir and Eldham through natural disaster, Novac, god of creation, stood witness to the wealthiest of the worlds fleeing and leaving those in poverty to die. For 3,000 years, Novac worked and slaved to create a world he vowed to make better than the last. He saw the effects of the pervasiveness of greed, and vowed to break its grasp on those who escaped the destruction. In the first thousand years, Novac made the world's core. He created the laws and nature onto which the rest of his creation was to be built. For the next thousand years, he gave the world the oceans and life from which prosperity would grow. And for the last thousand years, he gave the world gold and the resources from which prosperity would be held. And for these three thousand years, Novac had not a drink of water. He had not a breathe of fresh air. He had not a day of rest. All Novac had, in these three thousand years, was his sacrifice. For the next 700 years, he searched for survivors. Novac, after three millennia of building and creation, journeyed to the ends of the cosmos to find all who had survived. And finally, on the 700th year, he guided those survivors to his new creation; to Abexilas.''

A Better End:
''Airships land, and people move to Novac's new creation, Abexilas. One of many being William Morenyechev. After years of conducting business, and triggering growth, he still had lessons to learn. On the second morning of this new world, as William arose from his rest, he awoke to see a figure draped in green silks, flowing in front of the light of creation. William, startled and confused shoots up, standing at full attention. Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity, Novac spoke. "You find me, my son, at the foot of your bed, in the center of your home, but it is my home in which you live," Novac explains. Throughout the second day, Novac teaches William Morenyechev the philosophies of his new creation. Novac says, "William, you have prospered, but your responsibilities now grow with your wealth. As I bestowed my home unto you, you must make this sacrifice unto others, and they must too, sacrifice unto more, lest the greedy and the egoists live in poverty after death." Come the second night, Novac tells William Morenyechev his story of tribulations and of creation, and bestows unto him, the privilege of sacrifice.''
