The Two |
The Two are the parents of The Five. They
gave birth to the child-gods responsible for
creating Aegis. Little is known or written
about them as their stories were not dictated
to the inhabitants of the world. |
|
The Five |
The Five are the child-gods
of The Two. Once born they were asked to create
a world together by their parents.
Creating a world is often the
first test of a god or goddess to see if they
will be allowed a permanent position in existence.
First they must work together to create a
single world before they are allowed to create
their own. The Five were the gods responsible
for the creation of Aegis.
Sometimes called the four by denizens of
the Realm of Flame as the denizens of flame
from the very beginning didn’t believe
Miyo ever really existed. Since the gods do
not define their existence physically, there
is no material proof to the people of Aegis
that any of them exist. They believe in the
gods based solely on their faith. |

Enyo:
God of Fire |
Enyo was the first born, and the only
god of The Five to betray The Two. While
his brother and sisters slumbered he crept
into the chamber where The Book of the World
was kept, and altered the text so that his
domain would be supreme. Normally a god
would have been unwritten for such a sin,
but The Two could not banish one of their
own children, and he was simply exiled for
his actions.
His only part in the creation of Aegis
was the forging of the center, the very
core of the world itself. He later altered
the very world's words and closed the book,
forever sealing it. |

Orr:
God of Material |
Orr was the second born of the five children-gods.
When The Two had created Enyo, they quickly
realized how rash and fierce he was. Even
as a young god he was already very powerful
and lusted for his own world. Without proper
guidance and balance they would have had to
unwrite Enyo, for a god so hungry so young
almost always ends in a catastrophe. Regardless
of that fact, when the time came they could
not end his life.
Orr was given existence with just that
in mind. He is strong minded, plans things
well, and is said to be responsible for
all of the mysteries in Aegis. When something
works, and the people do not know why, they
thank Orr. He created the ground, the minerals,
he is the reason things fall back to Aegis
instead of floating away into the black.
He is said to have created everything required
for a world to survive and is personally
responsible for all the miracles of the
world.
Enyo was very jealous of Orr, and even
though they were best friends and brothers,
he often believed Orr to have been favored
by The Two. Once Enyo altered the text of
the world Orr could no longer hear his voice
and they forever became enemies. |

Miyo:
Goddess of Nature |
Miyo was born from real love, and not planned
as her brothers were. She was sudden and without
warning, The Two did not expect her creation.
She was often abused by Enyo as she became,
this resulted in her growing apart from the
other gods in an attempt to distance herself
from the abuse. Her thoughts were her own,
and she did not share them with any. When
Orr finished his land she created life to
enjoy the world. Plants, and animals, and
light, and dark.
She created all of the things that live
in the world. This was her sole purpose,
and she grew to love all of her creations.
But when Enyo altered the book, and created
war on the face of Aegis, she was said to
have gone insane. She did not fully understand
war and death, and when her children died
in battle, she fled from existence turning
her back on everything. Her tears still
dot the sky and it is said if a person could
sail far enough into the black, following
the shimmering white dots, they would find
her in a swirling blue pool of tears as
large as time.
Once she left, the beings of Aegis changed.
Animals began to hunt each other, people
began to have evil motives, and the world
began to slowly change and adapt on it’s
own without guidance. Long even after the
book was closed. |

Lene:
Goddess of Thought and Function |
The fourth child of the two, Lene is the
goddess of thought and function. She created
math, mechanics, time, movement, inspiration,
and motive. She gave Aegis the ability to
turn in the great darkness while hanging from
a silver string attached to the cosmos. She
then gave the living the ability to think
and love. And gave the dead a place to rest.
It is said she concentrated on a single
part of Aegis in her spare time, working
away in her workshop and writing without
rest in The Book of the World. She created
a section of the land defined by its own
rules. It was supposedly the only part of
Aegis that defied the very rules created
by the other gods. This alone shows the
intelligence and the inquisitive nature
of Lene.
When Enyo changed the world, he wrote over
the hard work she had privately done, and
the only thing left of her personal creations
are now called The Rustlands and the few
Golem inhabitants that still dwell there.
The Rustlands are a desert of rust and bits
of decaying iron. Nothing that breaths can
survive in the Rustlands for long without,
the very air is polluted with bits of metal
carried on the violent winds. The Golems
are the only ones who seem to be resiliant
to the land.

Erva:
Goddess of Completion |
Erva was created by The Two to polish
and finish Aegis. She was the fifth born
and the last of The Five to exist. She added
all of the fine details to complete the
world, she added color, water, the clouds,
air, both moons, the ability to feel, everything
to let Aegis be a comfortable and enjoyable
place to exist. She was sadly not fully
finished with her work when Enyo closed
the book. She has ever since been enemies
with him. She was also the one most hurt
when Miyo vanished and many believe at night
you can see her streak across the darkness
in a bright light, searching for her sister.
