Origins of Creation
The following is simply a copy of a chat transcript I was having with a friend when some thoughts on the nature of creation occured to me. It's not yet cleaned up or formatted, but it's an interesting idea, so I'm putting it up as is.
you: The idea I had earlier... Creation is like this big solid chunk of rules and order in the midst of the unending wyld...
you: The Fae lords live in the Wyld, and presumably are without end like the world in which they live
you: Now, Fae come in to creation all the time current
you: They are the outcastes, the exiles, the Fae that for some reason wish to give up their mercurial nature in return for order. They deny the very thing that defines them
you: Yet they do it none the less...
you: So imagine... There is no creation... There is simply many fae, powerful through to irrelevant. Now what happens when the most powerful fae lords ever known turn their back on their heritage?
you: Creation becomes a place that allows them to try and escape the unescapable
you: They create it to bring the order they desire
you: The rules, the heirachy, the rituals etc
you: They create gods to look after it, as that is what order demands.
you: But it's not enough...
you: They can't deny what they are, and though creation is interesting, and a diversion, it doesn't solve the problem
you: For at the core they are beings that are at war with themselves
you: They then turn to the games of divinity, still looking for a way to defy their own natures
you: Or at least a distraction
you: The games of course are flawed. Addictive, but unfulfilling. But it doesn't matter, before they have the chance to turn to something else, and maybe even undo what they've created so far, the gods revolt
you: They won't risk the loss of what they are. They after all are what the primordials wished they were. Being defined by the order and laws of creation, and their existence thus depends on it. So they fight for it in the only way they can. They overthrow their creators
you: It's just a little explanation for where they came from in the first place
