=====Draconic Creation Myth=====

======The Perfect Dragons and the Writhing Void======

Old legends say that When the world was yet unformed and the powers of chaos lay still in the sky, the earth was a infertile plain of stone which was watched over by two supreme beings, one of stone and flame and one of gemstone and ice.

These two supreme beings sat at either side of eternity, watching the world and loving it for it was perfect. But in perfection there is balance and balance cannot be kept while chaos exists. One side: the earth, perfect and flat. The other side: the sky, imperfect, ever-changing and writhing. 

The two dragons sat for an eternity, but eternity is too short a time to achieve perfection. And so out of the sky came an ''imperfect wyrm'' into the perfect plain. This wyrm was the embodiment of change, now introduced into the world. This angered one of the dragons, but not the other. For they were opposites as the land and sky. 

The angered dragon of ice and gemstone was named '''Fandthol'''. Justice was swift upon the wyrm as Fandthol smote it with a talon and swallowed it. But somehow Fandthol's rage was not sated and so set upon the land. The wrath of Fandthol disrupted the plain with storms of ice, tearing it apart, creating canyons and mountains in its wake. At the other end of eternity '''Akriton''' saw Fandthol's rage upon the land and was mourned. Akriton then gathered all power that was available, and became great, dark and terrible to behold. 

When Fandthol and Akriton met at the center of eternity, they collided with such a terrible force that the world was cracked from every corner, tearing the world out of eternity and making it finite. Their battle wreathed the land in flame and ice, and then in water and soot. Until finally Fandthol was defeated, which could not have happened if the Void wyrm had not weakened his will. Fandthol's body fell to the earth and shattered into countless pieces and from those pieces in aeons to come would hail the ''first peoples'' of the world. Akriton then roared up into the sky at the void in rage and sadness. Seeking to destroy the void.

But the writhing void retreated and went behind the world, as did Akriton chase it. And this pursuit has not ceased to this day. While in the day Akriton is visible, great burning and full of hatred for the void. And at night the writhing void, littered with the wounds that Akriton had inflicted upon it which burn through with terrible contempt.

=====Myth of the origin of the Magic and the Magical Races=====
One of the most ancient tales (now often speculated to be fabrication) states that a millenia after death of Acrynahl and the start of Civilisation, a '''Trade''' was made between one wife of a fisher and a Merchant of the Mists. She wanted her man to be with her more often, as she missed him on his long fishing trips.

The Merchant gave her power to do just that: She suddenly had the power to Command her husband to do whatever she wanted. 
Yet the now mentally-slaved husband was not what the wife had wanted and she commanded the husband to kill them both.

Usually the tale is used to warn about strange merchants and the usage of mind-controlling magic, but it some (mostly older) versions of the tale also mention that ''every single one'' of the current magic using races is direct offspring of the wife.

Tales do not agree on what was the '''Cost to the Trade''' as it depends between cultures and variations.

=====Dwarven Creation Myth=====
As presented in the orthodox Cult of the Maker to the believers by the priests.

======GENESIS======
At the First Beginning was and yet wasn't, the Architect.
Then the Architect was.
His sole Presence turned The Void That Never Was And Cannot Ever Be into the Primordial, Unformed and Chaotic Matter.
The Perfect Architect saw potential in this Imperfect Cosmos.
Unlike His pure Essence, the Matter was made of two muddled Substances, a higher one and a lesser one.
The Architect conceived a Perfect Model of the World to Come and His First Action was to separate the two Substances from each other.
His Second Action was to create the Maker from His Essence in a guise made of the higher Substance and to place him in the Higher Region of the World.

======SUBGENESIS======
At the Second Beginning, born and yet unborn was the Maker.
Then born was the Maker.
His Vision revealed the Lower Region of the World.
The Architect instructed him with the Plan of the World to Come, and promised he will be able to join Him as a reward once his work is done and the World is made Perfect.
And the Maker began his work.
He shaped the Higher then the Lower Region to the exact specifications of the Architect, yet the World was still imperfect.
The Maker felt frustation and anger, but the Architect calmed him down before he wrecked the Cosmos in his rage, and explained to him why the World still wasn't perfect.
Souls like the ones of the Lower Region had to be created, but made like the Maker of the Essence of the Architect itself, and had to achieve the World by fructifiate and create civilization within it, guided by the Maker.
The Third Action was to create these souls made of His Own Essence and make them reincarnate in the Lower Region until their task is done.
Then the World will be purged of all imperfections and these souls will ascend with the Maker to the Realm of the Architect, for all of the two Substances and the Essence will be in its right place.
These souls are those of the Dwarves, and so we will be reincarnated in this World until our task is done.
The Imperfection is the cause of everything bad in this World : Evil, diseases, hunger, natural disasters, weakness in both mind and body,ect..
We must endure all of these sorrows because once our work here is finished, this World will be perfect and we will get our reward in the Realm of the Architect.
