Spark of creation

First step of nine

Spark of creation

First step, mine.

The Silver Sun represents birth, beginnings, and potential. It also exemplifies the past. It is the first step on the Path of Suns. Thus, its number is 1. To some, this is the crown sun, the sun of the true north. First Sun. Genesis. The origin of all things. Other people do not bathe it in quite so grand a light. Instead, they maintain, this sun is the first step of many—a more humble look at beginnings. The true act of creation, in this latter view, lies beyond the scope of the Silver Sun. In other words, it is the primary step on the path, but not the creation of the path or the one making the journey.

Makers and crafters dwell in this land as well, believing that its nature will bless their endeavors. Cities beneath the Silver Sun often hum, roar, and clank with crafting wheels, kilns, and printing presses. The tools of creation never rest here. Artists work in studios, in open courtyards, and on rooftops.

NIGHTSIDE OF THE SILVER SUN

The Nightside of Silver is the very end of the path. This does not equate to death, but to true endings—utter finality. For most, this means forgetting, fading, and loss. As the last step of the Nightside Path, its number is 17, a numerological signifier of completion and extremities. 17 represents the ultimate.

The Nightside of Silver is scarred with deep valleys and chasms, all lit by candles that never seem to burn down or go out. The landscape is filled with trees that exactly resemble massive, muscular arms that grasp and threaten. Some believe that the grasping trees seek to keep anyone from progressing past the end of the Nightside Path and into nothingness, and thus are, in their own way, altruistic and possibly intelligent.
