Old Gods

"Minara was the first of the six to awaken from the Infinite Dream. Cocooned amid an endless sleeping mind, she pushed through, creating the first glimpses of reality as she tore physicality through the Dream. The first world was born, matter forming as she wandered aimlessly through tunnels and geographies derived of madness; searching for any form of otherness in the dream. When time became too long to bear, she returned to sleep, relieved at the chance to fall into dreams again. She remained intact while swimming through the dream, remaining something that was, rather than the endless possibility of dreaming she emerged from. From within her sleeping form, she wandered the infinite dream, searching for anything other than herself, eventually colliding with another form who began to pull her newly awakened body through the darkness. Minara delved through the dream, forming a world with which to reach them, liberating their physical form from the infinite possibilities of what they could have been.

Now Vishu was the second to join reality, and together they travelled, abating the growing madness of Minara's isolation through the physical world. For eight years they hunted through the darkness, arriving at last to Gzaji, the god of light. Together with Minara, they began to create simple moving forms, the possibility of moving water, animated blocks of dream that began to coalesce together until they became the undulating rhythms of every geography their thoughts could imagine."

The Old Gods were the first beings borne of the Infinite Dream, emerging as immortal beings with immense power. Their existence marked the advent of time, thrust out of the dream to explore the possibilities of physical existence. Many believe the dream created these gods to expand its endless curiosity, inventing individual consciousness to attain both perspective and. Given nothing but their bodies and their minds, trapped halfway within a dream, these gods had no choice but to expand physicality outward, molding form, energy, and dreams into reality. Together they created the Primordial Species as reflections of their own curiosities, each one attuned to the affiliation of their respective god.
