Chaos & Great Divide

After Ashniya’s death the Ancient Spirits were confused and lost. They felt the need to continue with the creation but as their power was weakened all they created was deformed or at least so it seemed in their eyes. The lack of sense of perfection caused ripples in the harmony between the Ancient Spirits and soon they turned against each other, putting blame for failure on someone else’s head. In rush of bitterness coupled with the fear for not living up to the expectation that they felt were put on them by Ashniya, all of them went on rampage. The Mother Tree created predators with hunger to kill and tear the weaker apart. Father Tree poured his angered soul into creating poisonous plants, some that even deceived by its benign appearance. Elene gathered the night and twisted it in ire into nightmares and shadows that played on one’s mind. Some of those foul being in fact seizing life of their own. From Haion’s ever-growing heat that scorched the land, all that burns and destroys was born. Promia suffered under the chaotic reign of the Ancient Spirits.

The Creation Myth

In a place of nothingness and void, there flickered a spark into life. It wavered in the storm of destruction, fighting to survive against the forces much greater than itself. Until one time, its glimmering light captured the eye of Mother Goddess, Ashniya. Her hand covered the spark tenderly, shielding it from the dark forces for but a moment. Upon the contact, the goddess understood the spark’s fragility, but more so its strong will and resolve to live and survive. Her heart went out to the spark, her feelings of support and protection so great, they transformed into multiple flickers that rose from her palms like vanguard of shelter and the stars of Promia were born.
