The Creation of the Universe and the Gods

The oldest legend known to all beings that walk the earth is that of the creations of the four gods. Before the four gods, there was nothing, empty space. The only thing that existed was time. Out of time came the one that knows all and forgets nothing, this being is the first god. He had no parent god, so he had no name, so he called himself Uemi, in the Diwlun tongue it means first or one. As soon as Uemi was created he started planning out the universe. It took him 255 days to finish his careful planning, he called that amount of time a year. He also divided each year into six segments called months. The odd months contained fourty days, while the even months contained fourty-five days. He then began the creation of the universe. He created a huge amount of space and filled it with matter. He created rocks and forced them together to create planets. Once the planets were completed he held each one in his hands and heated them up until they melted and the rocks melted together. He then made giant rocks of ice and placed them near each molten planet to orbit around and melt. Overtime the orbiting ice melted into water and the water fell unto the planets cooling the planets down. The planets soon had a surface which started to collect the falling water. The water gathered into puddles, ponds, lakes, to eventually form oceans. Uemi started to remove the giant ice away from the planets for the oceans started to freeze. Not all planets started to freeze so he kept the ice there until ready. He then created balls of fire of many sizes. He put the largest one in the middle of the universe and the others through out the universe. He started to move the planets around the large ball to evenly warm all the sides of each planet. Once he completed this task, he had left over rocks floating in space so he gathered them up and made them orbit each planet. He called the orbiting rocks moons. Once finished creating the moons, he decided to fill the planets with life. He created many different creatures to populate the planets. He filled the oceans with creatures with fins, filled the skies with beasts with wings, seeded the soil for plants to grow, and formed mammals to walk the lands. He then created four gods to watch over the planets. The four gods he named Jexnalure, Tulhan, Maveix, and Rixmelai. He gave each god a purpose, and tasks to maintain the universe he created. It took him 4500 years to finish the universe, he called this amount of time an age. He was satisfied with all he had done. And thus began the second age.
