[QUOTE="brymeister, post: 371578, member: 7580"] I use a somewhat odd system in my world (Ugramer) that is a combination of Sumerian and Babylonian mythologies. Ankha is the goddess of heaven. She created the heavens. Her husband/consort Kielubre created the earth and the aether. After a time period that is unknown Ankha and Kielubre had a spat and the result of that was that they fought with each other. Ankha fought from the heavens and Kileubre from earth and aether. Neither could kill the other so they both attempted a dark and fell ritual which was to force the other to submit to them. The result was that the ritual went awry and the two deities fused and then erupted into two new beings. Ahnkiel and Ubrekha. Ahnkiel is the 'head' god of the cosmology worshipped by beings on the PMP. Ahnkiel was created by the fusion of Ankha and Kielubre. He found that new beings had erupted upon the face of Ugramer. These were the first of Elves, Dwarves and Gnomes. Ahnkiel had sex with one of the first of the Elves whose name was Ewakna. Before she consented to have relations with Ahnkiel, Ewakna made him swear to make her divine. He swore to make her the goddess of the seas, the sky and the earth. She said that he must do this one at a time. He agreed. The result of this union was Wasilka. Some time later Ahnkiel returned and looked for Ewakna in the garden and saw Vasilka instead but he didn't know the difference. Thus Vasilka became goddess of the sky just as Ewakna was goddess of the seas. The result of this union was Takhila. And as you might guess she became goddes of the earth. But after this time Ahnkiel figured out what was going on and cursed Takhila that she would bear a bad seed. The result was Kutta who became the goddess of death. She mated with Ubrekha who is the god of destruction and they had twin boys named Uklha and Oklha. Ukhla killed Oklha and Oklha's blood hit Ugramer and formed the races of goblins, orcs and trolls. Sorry, I realize this is a bit long so I will stop here. Bryan [/QUOTE]
