As the sayter recall the tale- Part I
During the age that the stars were being birthed and Chauntea’s giants were pushing up the mountains, the children witnessed a shining light come down to Dao tyr.
For it was the brilliance of Io and how we sang.
In the endless immortal wilds, Io dwelt laughing and passed on its light to six children named Hlal, Garyx, Faluzure, Aasterinian, Chronepsis, and Astilabor.
With thanx and joy for being alive they in turn created bests of hand, hoof, fin, wing, scale and shell.
It is said that for eons Io shone joy apon the young world.
That is untill Davinn GelNaughcht, father of the Faykin, presented to Io “The Great Game”.
Giving it as the wilds greatest treasure.
Io had nver known such a thing and understood not the nature of the game that had been created.
Obsessed with this new thing, Io began to change.
Duality had been created for the first time.
Winner loser, life death, night and day, good and evil, all were born out of the knowlege gleened by the great game.
Alas it was this same knowlege that split great Io into two equal parts, the gods we know as Tiamat and Bahamuut.
They were the first gods to walk on Dao tyr and they brought joy and sorrow, gave us our blood and tears and forever changed the fey and the world we live in.
