Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 3065989" data-attributes="member: 29014">[SBLOCK=Sacra Religious Philosophy]In the beginning, there was nothing, except for Circe.  And then Circe created the universe, a tiny singularity that expanded in a flash into complexity that only Her infinite wisdom could comprehend.  The material plane existed first, and Circe created the Inner Planes next to supply matter to the world, and the Ethereal Plane to connect them.  She looked upon Her work and smiled, for it was good.  Her greatest work was the world of Sancirce, meant to be her sacred bastion, an eden upon which She would smile at all times.  And She breathed life into all Her worlds, in Her love and mercy.  First She created plants, and the Vildri arose from these plants.  But the Vildri were wicked and perverse.  Despite being gifted with intelligence and knowledge of all things by Circe, they spurned Her gifts and used them to rebel against Her and attempt to usurp Her power.  Circe was angered by this betrayal, and so She struck the Vildri on all worlds back down to unintelligent plants, and She created the animals to eat upon the plants, and the many races of each world to rule upon the animals.  And those who lived on Her sacred world of Sancirce were called the Sacra, and they were the holiest, most loving, and most perfect race of all, for Circe blessed them with all Her gifts.  But in their love for all creatures, the Sacra, who had knowledge of those who came before, implored Circe to give the Vildri a second chance.  Circe, in Her infinite mercy, agreed.  But the new Vildri were not created with knowledge of all things, for they were brought back only due to the love of the Sacra, their friends and masters.  And Circe created the Upper Planes to celebrate Her joy in Good, and the Astral Plane to connect it to the world.  But the Vildri, learning of the ancient slight against their race, became evil and perverse.  In their wickedness, they began to crave the darkness, and from their hearts, demons, devils, and the Lower Planes were born, and the other Outer Planes were created by Circe as a buffer to protect the Upper Planes from the seeping evil by absorbing and finding a balance.  The Vildri tried to taint Circe's heart with evil, and when that failed, they spread across the many worlds and began to sow worship in demons, and indirectly in false gods, which eventually led to demon worship.  Consorting with demons, they introduced taint to the multiverse, and used it to mutate normal loving creatures into mockeries of Circe's love, possessed of strange heretical powers they called 'magic', but were nothing like the magic of Circe's love.  Circe cried for her people, but the Sacra were strong, and though they loved all things, they learned from the noble sacrifice of the Neutral Outer Planes.  To fight evil, they would have to be ruthless in exterminating it, even as they stayed kind and loving of all that is good.
