[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5249209, member: 92511"] [b]The Making of Men[/b] The Five Tribes of Man. After the Elder Gods had completed there creation of the Other races, They returned to the working of Their spheres and were pleased for a time with the adorations of Their newly created children. But eventually, They became bored again with Their spheres and sought for the exhilaration of again working Creation as Their maker, Ossa, had done. So it was Oor, who was always thinking of new things to make in His deep halls beneath the earth, who came up with the thought that the Elders would collectively make another new race of beings. But this race would be a combination of all of Their collective spheres and so be the Children of Them all. Antas and the other Elder gods were greatly pleased by this idea but were confused then as to which of Them would hold sway if the beings possessed portions of them all. For it was the way of the world that all creatures and creations that were held to be ruled by one of the Elders. Oor thought on this for a time and then made a suggestion. Once these beings were made, collectively, each of the Elder Gods and Goddesses could have a tribe of these beings that would be Theirs to oversee. This greatly pleased Antas and the Elders and so They bade Oor to work right away on these new Collective beings. Oor forged their vessels with great beauty and skill, as He did all of His work, and called these vessels “Man.” Then he glazed each with a color so that the Elder gods could see easily the different tribes. So the tribes were painted. One white. One black. One gold. One green. One red. Oor brought them to the Elders and each, in turn, imbued them all with Life. Each Elders instilling Their own powers , talents, and gifts. Antas looked over the new Collective beings and was greatly pleased and the heavens shone with his countenance. When this was complete, Sorilorr looked over the new creatures and said, ”Oor, you have made an error. There are but five tribes of Men here. And We are six.” For Desri had no desire nor need for one of the Mortal Creations, gathering the souls of all things to Herself in Her time, and.at this time Karos was still locked deep away for His crimes against Creation, or so it was believed. Oor replied, “Nay my brother, I have not erred. For you see, I have the dwarves that are mine as children. I have the whole of the deeps of the earth as mine to work as I please. And I have made the vessels of Man and given them my talents. It is enough for me to see my work complete and bringing pleasure for you. I need hold no sway over these beings more than that.” So the Elder gods thanked Oor for His wonderful works and skills and chose one each of the tribes of Men to be Theirs to hold sway. Antas chose the tribe of White, bright like the light in His sky. They who would grow in knowledge and wisdom to become the Selurians. Arinane chose the tribe of Black, dark like the deep mystery of Her night. They who would grow in knowledge and wisdom, equal to that of the tribe of White, to become the Tanku. Sorilorr chose the tribe of Gold, who shone with a beauty of mind and spirit to rival the beauty of their bodies. They who would grow in knowledge and wisdom above all others. None know what became of the Tribe of Gold. Llyndra chose the tribe of Green, who moved with the land as it were their own bodies. They who would grow in knowledge and wisdom to become the Druids and establish the Ancient Order. Pehn chose the tribe of Red, who burned with a passion and strength akin to His own. They who would grow in knowledge and wisdom more slowly than the others, becoming known by the other tribes as the “lesser men,” wild like Pehn, himself. They would eventually come to be known by many names. The Thelitians, the Gorunduun, and the Men of the Western realms all hold ties to the tribe of Red. So the Five Tribes of Men were brought to Orea and the Elder gods held sway, each over Their own tribe. Antas and the other gods were pleased and the heavens shone with Their countenance. For a time the Tribes prospered, multiplied, and were happy. Taking pleasure in their lives and the pleasing of their gods. It was during this time that the ShiStaliiri found their way to the western forests and established their realm. Countless generations of Men passed. For even in their youth, the race of Man led much shorter lives than the other races. Though they were still much longer lived than they are now. It was said that the great limitations to Man’s existence were due to the collection of spheres that burn within them, exhausting their vessel much faster than those of other beings. But even short-lived, they grew great in knowledge and power. This power attracted attention and, again, the malignancy of Karos seeped its way back into the mortal realms and the times now called the Chaos Ages began. So ends the tale of the Making of the Five Tribes of Men. [/QUOTE]
