The primal deities split the void of space into matter and time:

Vilhan created the molten core and the layers of stone, earth, and clay surrounding it.

Aleria created the sea and rivers across the land and incepted the wind and rains.

Feal caused the blooming of plants in the earth and created living creatures in the form of animals.

Gohdas created the first vestiges of mankind, the Heroshim to spread across the realm.

 

The name of the world arose from the utterace of the first syllables from the gods mouths. Each was in sequence irrevokaby etched into the cosmos.

    Gohdas said: Heroes will journey the realm. They will tame the land and thrive within it.

    Aleria said: Roads will open to them, and they will find ways to journey through the sea and air as well.

    Feal said: Shelter will be found in the wood of the trees and the fruit thereof, and the flesh of animals will sustain them.

    Vilhan said: I will commend the riches of the earth to their hands, that they may use its resources for their artifice.

 

Everything seemed fine for a while, until the gods discovered the consequence of their creation.

In spinning the void into matter, they had created in the process an equal and opposite force of utter destruction which was compelled to once again equalize the universe... by wiping out Heroshi. However, eons of space seperated this force from Heroshi, but its mere existence caused the matter on Heroshi to degrade; it's creatures to age and die; its elements to decompose (e.g. Entropy/Time). It affected the temperament of certain creatures, causing dispair, aggression, and fear.

 

The gods of Heroshi urged their creation to thrive despite the unescapable doom, to make the best of their short lives. Others, who arose later, encouraged their followers to do so as well, but without consideration toward and even at the expense of others.

 

The Bitemeaten Account - The following was widely perpetuated by Bitemeaten's followers as Vilhan's words (supposedly after Vilhan expelled Bitemeaten from his hall for "Bringing the fun in" during a meeting of the gods).

    Vilhan said: Aye.

After a long pause, the other gods, expecting him to go on, spoke up, asking Vilhan what he intended.

    Vilhan said: I was agreeing with ye!

Devotees of Bitemeaten will often follow up this story with something along the lines of "and that's why dwarves are all stupid, stodgy jerks, may they get tetanus and blisters."
