[QUOTE="Avalon®, post: 3604391, member: 48208"] Landing on the mountains near a great forest, Ilem Nth Sabbatur sends his thoughts out to wander the plane. He searches for the race that would have the capacity to bring forth his visions of the future. He sees one as he fashions a crude weapon out of a sharpened stick and stab one of his weaker kin. THIS, thinks the being, is the race of mortals that he requires. He notices though, that they are still in the thrall of another such as himself. This has to be corrected but at another time. They are doing as well (for the moment) as if he were the one teaching them. Turning to his immediate surroundings, he notices a badger and a mole. He concentrates for a second and shapes their forms to those who walk on two feet. [COLOR=Sienna]"Rise my children. I am Ilem Nth Sabbatur, your creator.
