In the Creation tales, there are five Creators. Caelis, God of Aether, offered an empty canvas for the other four to fill. Bulder, God of Ground, sculpted the terrain; Rayne, Goddess of Water, filled every gorge and topped every mountain with snow; Clode, Goddess of Air, brought the wind; and Ignos, God of Fire, erupted volcanoes and blazed jungles in his attempts at obtaining Clode’s affections. In mournful solitude, Caelis watched on, jealous of their ability to be seen, touched, and heard while he alone was confined to the empty spaces of existence.

The Creators gave life to Folk with pointed ears—some privy to hearing the four elemental songs of the gods, which gift them power. Other Folk discovered a silver book that Caelis was rumored to have written in his desperation to be heard. They found a different form of power in the books’ runes. Though many creatures roam the world, the Creators are most proud of the dragons. The Sabersythes of The Burn—high up in the sky where the sun’s rays are hot enough to burn skin—are known for their ferocity. Less volatile are the Moltenmaws of The Fade, with sharp beaks, vicious claws, and colorful feathers.
