I need to finish the Primordial Gods (aka dysfunctional divine siblings) arts before I introduce them in my fic, which is still 2 whole acts away, but the procrastination is real. Anyway, why not talk Gods while we're at it?

[HUGE spoilers for Song of Infinity, I mean not really, as it was covered in Draconic Chronicle a bit, but I kinda want to briefly elaborate]

The Primordial dictated the rules Rivellon was meant to obey, everything began with them.

First, came Life. Astarte, also known as the Sun Mother is a deity who keeps watch over everything that thrives, light, color, and love were born out of her essence and she is the sole deity capable of weaving the chaotic Cosmic Dust into its refined form- Source. Because all life is meant to end (a concept her brother challenged) her original sin is Sadness, and she is prone to having depressive episodes that greatly hinder her abilities. After the War of Creation, her tears have birthed a Man, coiling the concept of reproduction, longing, and attraction within mortal races.

Second, came Death. The God King, or originally, Veles (because I'm a slav that's why; also a plethora of other things but let's just stick with slav explanation). He was meant to rule over the realm of the dead, the Void, where souls would wait for reincarnation. With death, inseparably, walks fear. God King was first to entirely give into his Original Sin, which caused him to abandon his role as a Deathbringer and come up with a race indifferent to it - The Eternals. A race he fashioned against the wish of the Universe (the entity that created Primordial) itself. He masqueraded as the Eternal King, living his delirious dream until the Seven's rebellion. He is responsible for the death of the First Guardians, as well as Dragons' inability to reincarnate. He also spawned Chaos.

Third, came Rebirth. The youngest of the three Haume is ever-shifting,ever-flowing blood, also known under the name of Moon Mother. She revels in pain; the only link between death and birth. However, because of her nature, she lacks total control over her powers or even her form, and that earns her Wrath. Her blood created the first Woman, coiling the concepts of passion, childbirth...and periods (thanks Haume, v cool). Her element of choice is fire but her celestial body (moon) has the power over tides.

Every Primordial has their own language, which they use to operate their artifacts of creation - Rings. Life speaks in the past (what was), Void speaks in the present (what is) and Rebirth speaks in the future (what will be). Rivellon is a word in Void Primordial meaning 'Prospering Realm of Veles'. Eternal is a descendant of this tongue. Examples Eternal words; Xsa’en - [One] shimmering under a dark star Mae'ven - [One] born under an unbridled star Rivellis - referring to Eternals, (literally) prospering [people], people of prosperity Aenei - chime of a stardust bell Primordial languages combined created the first Ancient Dragonic tongue. Examples of Ancient Dragonic words; Annadsyl’Aegnishe - Gateway to the Sanctuary of Aegis’ Blazing Heart Examples of Modern Dragonic words: Corvus- Raven Anathema- Curse Speaking of Dragonic and Dragons - the only real God of Rivellon is a creation of the Three; Ouroboros, The All-Father, the First of the Dragons. Because of his triple legacy, Ouro shares characteristics of all Primordial, being the perfect blend of his creators . Note: because of the limitations of the mortal tongue 'Ouroboros' refers to the full three-aspect deity as well as his Rebirth aspect. The names of the First Dragon:

Ouroboros (the snake consuming its own tail) Originating from Haume. Continuity aspect, its attributes being fire and water

Aegis (the all-encircling shield) Originating from Astarte- Protection/Nursery aspect, its attributes being sky and earth

Dorchatas (The ever-present dark) Originating from Veles - Stagnation/Degradation aspect, its

The firstborn of Ouroboros, as well as the first Demigod/Avatar, was Patriarch the Black That's all for today's lore dump. In the next one, we will talk about more down-to-earth matters, listing Rivellonian months, weekdays, and respective holidays across all cultures and races
