Legacy
Many religions picked up on this book as a way to explain how the world came to be, but since the purge of everything non-human from Hom, religions have been deemed as cults, not really followed by kingdoms, but rather villages or groups of individuals. This book's chapters, then,a re seen almost as historical accounts, rather than myths.
Index
The book of Αρχή is divided into 14 chapters, although only 4 chapters were ever found in Hom: the first one that talks about the creation of the world, a chapter talking about the creation of Humanity as a race, a chapter talking about the creation of Dragons as a race, and one apocalyptical chapter, depicting the purge of the Olde gods and detailing the propheci of Kelemvaer.
Chapter 1
In the beginning, the Realm was Void.
Like the others, through His mercy, he launched the Spark.
Its energy grew and created planets, stars and other entities.
After eons, He lived in one of the planets, and He saw it was wonderful.
Kelem, was it called.
He had 12 daughters, and each one of created life through the Spark at their own image.
From the Spark, 12 grandchildren were created:
Human, Elf, Orc, Dragon, Dwarf, Tiefling, Elemental, Fiend, Celestial, Fey, Monster, Genie
Each one a champion by itself. Each one a god to be worshipped.
Nations spread across the land, small rivers were created for life bringing
However, He was unhappy. 12 daughters, no son.
Each of the champions competed for their Grandfather's favor.
War, chaos, darkness ensued. Their followers killed each other.
Understanding it was too late, He hid the Spark and divided the Earth.
Sisters apart, families divided, never to be seen.
Not happy, He stomped Kelem with might force
Darkness from below, Exile from above, mountains and seas raged
From all this, his son was born. The perfect entity.
From rage, love, violence, sadness, and loneliness: the son of the mighty One - Kelemvaer.
He created a place just for him, a continent to become his Home.
Jealousy engulfed that place, invaders came, destroying His Father's precious Kelem.
And Kelemvaer, to not further anger his Father, disappeared and went to sleep away from everyone
Sadness and rage overcame the Might One, but he acknowledged his vaer's wishes.
Instead, He retrieved most of His presence and closed this Realm to His Palace
But left a wary warning for generations to come
"I am the Father of Kelem without Son,
The Kelemvor without Kelemvaer. Like that you will feel until He reawakens His power.
To bring Order to this Chaos. Light to the Darkness".
