The '''Cosmogenesis of [[Lusternia]]''' is, like many creation myths, the story of how a balance between creation and destruction eventually leads to a world filled with beings that reflect the imagination and creation of its creators - and the story of how Lusternia came into existence begins with [[Yudhe]]. | The '''Cosmogenesis of [[Lusternia]]''' is, like many creation myths, the story of how a balance between creation and destruction eventually leads to a world filled with beings that reflect the imagination and creation of its creators - and the story of how Lusternia came into existence begins with [[Yudhe]]. | ||

a [[The Void|void]] that was neither dark nor light, neither empty nor full, formless, without thought or mind. In an everlasting state of no-thing, the impossible moves to improbable and the improbable becomes fact. And so a spark flickered in the void, and that spark was the spark of consciousness, and that consciousness was named Yudhe. Around Yudhe folded time and around time folded space, and thus Yudhe became aware. But Yudhe was all and nothing, and when his thoughts flared and blossomed, reaching out to touch another, he found only himself. So Yudhe knew loneliness. | ... a [[The Void|void]] that was neither dark nor light, neither empty nor full, formless, without thought or mind.

Yearning for companionship yet being alone, Yudhe separated a part of his own consciousness to form a daughter. She called herself [[Magnora]] and was much like Yudhe, vast yet empty. Not satisfied, Yudhe fragmented himself to form a second daughter. She called herself [[Dynara]], smaller than Magnora yet partaking of Yudhe's nature. Each daughter was separate yet a part of Yudhe. Thus Yudhe found family. | Yearning for companionship yet being alone, Yudhe separated a part of his own consciousness to form a daughter.

Around Lusternia, Dynara formed countless more worlds and planes of existence and so filled the universe of Yudhe with an endless stream of things. Her older sister, Magnora, inherited only the emptiness of void, and her purpose was to consume all that her sister created, bringing it back to nothing. And for eons, Dynara created and Magnora destroyed, and so the sisters were in harmony, a cycle of being and not being, of creation and destruction, of life and death. | ||
Upon the worlds and planes that Dynara created, she also created life. Her first attempts to create life were monstrous abominations without a soul or spirit. Though at first she considered them to be her greatest triumphs, she came to view them as her greatest failures. They came to be called the Primal Gods or First Ones, also known as the [[Soulless|Soulless Gods]]. Disappointed, Dynara sent these Soulless Gods to her sister Magnora for her to consume back to no-thing. But Magnora, bitter and barren, allowed them to live out of spite. Thus, the Soulless Gods became the Heralds of Magnora, traveling with her and helping her destroy and consume that which Dynara had abandoned or forgot. | Upon the worlds and planes that Dynara created, she also created life.

When their schemes reached its apex, the sisters left through the rift in reality, but, alas, the journey changed their very natures and they were never to return. Yudhe's children, however, were more than just offspring; they were Yudhe himself. Without them, Yudhe moved back to what he was: neither dark nor light, neither empty nor full, formless, without thought or mind. | When their schemes reached its apex, the sisters left through the rift in reality, but, alas, the journey changed their very natures and they were never to return.
