Chapter 1: The Void and the Five Gods
In the beginning, there was only the Void, an endless expanse of nothingness. The Void was a realm without time, space, or matter. It was a state of pure potentiality, waiting to be shaped by the forces of creation.
From the depths of the Void, five primordial beings emerged. These beings were the gods of Graz: Aerthys, Elyria, Lyraea, Pyrope, and God, the God of Shadows. Each god represented a fundamental aspect of the universe: air, earth, water, fire, and shadow.
The five gods danced across the Void, their movements weaving a tapestry of energy and matter. As they danced, the world of Graz began to take shape. Aerthys created the skies and the winds that swept across the land. Elyria formed the mountains, valleys, and plains, giving Graz its diverse geography. Lyraea crafted the oceans, rivers, and lakes, bringing life-giving water to the world. Pyrope ignited the fires that burned within the earth, creating volcanoes and shaping the land through fiery eruptions. God, the God of Shadows, wove the fabric of darkness and light, creating the cycles of day and night.
The five gods danced for eons, their creative energies shaping the world of Graz into a realm of breathtaking beauty and diversity.
