| [[pantheons:deities:solara|The goddess of light and sun]] lay on her back, the labor she induced upon herself racking her body of a soft, effervescent light and energy as its essence became scattered across the places and abodes of chaos that existed from without her. As the chaos affected this goddess called Solara by way of its inconstant movement and jagged edges that cut into her, thus was born the stars, who came from the goddess of the sun and would inherit all of her essence. These celestial bodies were accordingly an imitation of the sun which Solara had embodied, and were thought to have existed in a greater distance than that between [[planes:heavens|the sun]] and [[planes:aurius:ethrekas:start|Ethrekas]]. From Solara could come the gifts of life and prosperity and, in the light of the sun, there could be observed a nutritive quality as its warmth spread throughout all of our land. Solara, seeing that these stars contained a potentiality alike to the sun, began to provide some shape to them, and, in her labor that the darkness had procured in her, could see that her dream of a land of fruitfulness and prosperity could come into existence with her essence. Thus, the goddess descended into a place within the void, and furthermore illuminated all of the jagged vertices which could be found there.\\ | [[pantheons:deities:solara|The goddess of light and sun]] lay on her back, the labor she induced upon herself racking her body of a soft, effervescent light and energy as its essence became scattered across the places and abodes of chaos that existed from without her.

| Upon these illuminations made by the goddess’s light, there were born spirits born from [[planes:void|the void]] and this light, and they each possessed a nature of their own to be observed and made distinguished from the others of their kind. It was found that, in this world which existed beneath the sun and original place that Solara had descended from, there was found a pure potentiality and no limitation of her creations, and thus, she saw that it bore the possible realization of a reality that she had dreamt of. Thus, she provided a shape to it, sculpting it from the essence that had spilled from the heavens so that it might resemble those fixtures present there. Then was born the spirits of this world of Ethrekas, and they had come to belong there so that they remained bound to the place and finite in nature rather than being capable of ascension and an infinity as Solara was.\\ | Upon these illuminations made by the goddess’s light, there were born spirits from [[planes:void|void]] and this light, and they each possessed a nature of their own to be observed and made distinguished from the others of their kind.

| The spirits which Solara had bore to be observed among the land of Ethrekas encapsulated the perfect and quintessential elements of mountains, hills, rivers, and deep valleys that could be identified, and, in this stage, Ethrekas was perfect and wholly derived from Solara’s will, and so Solara was known to walk among this world so that the spirits might know her life. From Solara came the desire to create and sustain, and the goddess performed this task simply through her existence, purifying Ethrekas, her chosen continent, so that it might know her abundance of life and prosperity. These spirits were contained in aspects of Solara, and, rather than each being comprised of all of Solara’s sublimity, they each inherited a specific aspect of her sublime nature such that they existed beneath her and constrained by the fullness of her absence. Thus, the spirits were incomplete, and from their incompleteness could be found flaw and imperfection, the potential being for any form rather than a specific one.\\ | The spirits which Solara had bore to be observed among the land of Ethrekas encapsulated the perfect and quintessential elements of mountains, hills, rivers, and deep valleys that could be identified, and, in this stage, Ethrekas was perfect and wholly derived from Solara’s will, and so Solara was known to walk among this world so that the spirits might know her life.
