The Days before Days
Contained below are excerpts from the Histories of Fasya written and compiled by Thinius Greenberry, chief librarian of Lands End In the 1,992 year of the Fourth Age of the world.
Where there is no light there is only darkness. For eons the cosmos were engulfed in eternal nothingness. The darkness ruled the great expanse but it was not totally devoid of life.
In the center were four golden keys that contained the elements of creation and around the keys danced hordes and hordes of nightmarish creatures. These Demons and Devils celebrated for they had stopped creation by capturing the elements and stopped nature’s path.
Sitting around the prizes were the most foul and evil of the creatures the Djinn. The Djinn were the most ancient and powerful of all the demons and devils. There they contemplated on what to do with the captured elements. The Demons and devils each had different ideas, so they made a brutal war upon each other and they fought over the keys. In the great chaos they failed to see the Creator Gods slip into the darkness. Then from the void, a ray of searing light appeared and like a sword it pierced the darkness scattering the evil creatures howling in pain.
The dark creatures cowered to the darkest corners of the void howling in pain. They all abandoned the keys, all of them except the Djinn. The Gods charged out of the void and attacked the Djinn. After a bloody battle the Gods overpowered them, for then they were many compared to the Djinns few. The defeated Djinn were pushed into the darkness and the Gods took the Keys.
There in the dark center of the universe the Gods held the keys and spoke the charm of making. The God of the great Forge, Harbard the Graybeard took the keys and with the power of the rest of the Gods he created the most beautiful and flawless gem, the Gods gem. The Gods marveled as it sparkled and cast light all across the universe. Within the Gem the each of the Gods placed a small part of their powers, and with the power of the keys they gave the gem the gift of creation.
They pushed back some of the darkness and created the heavens, a great city surrounded by a golden wall that would forever keep out the darkness. The heavens became a bastion of light in the void of darkness, but it also attracted the foulest of creatures. Slowly over time more and more of the foul things gathered and spied from the blackness. There they whispered and conspired to one another and above all they watched. The Gods built there great city ignoring the creatures seeing them as no threat since they have already beaten them, but the creatures were not vanquished but only weakened
for a time.
