The singularity of creation where the Gods were formed from the Flame of Origination and the world was brought into existence. This event holds the deepest secrets of the cosmos.

Consequences & Plot Hooks

Event Date: The Beginning
The Common Myth: The generally accepted creation myth of Kaern is that the Gods emerged from the Flame of Origination and shaped the cosmos in the Age of Origin.
The Angelic Record (Deep Lore):
- - In the beginning, there was space. At its center was a single note. No one knows how this note began, it just was. This note echoed out into empty space, expanding and resonating with itself.
  - The Purple Flame: The world began as a ball of bright purple flame.
  - The Forgotten Ones: It was found by dark entities from the deep realms called the Forgotten Ones, who attached themselves to the world to devour the light.
  - The 10 Spirits: To protect itself, 10 spirit fragments detached from the Flame of Origination and refined the purple light into white (pure) and dark (rejected/black & deep red) flame.
  - Cosmology: The spirits created the outer realms. They split the light:
    - - Source: A path to other universes (White Light), driving back the Forgotten Ones.
      - Sink: A black hole capturing light (Black Light).
      - Core: A blue flaming sphere in the center, upon which life was built.
  - The Arcs: The light extended from the Source in 10 curved arcs, forming a protective cocoon.
  - Tharizdun: The "evil" dark flame residue formed into a black diamond fragment, representing Tharizdun (The Chained Oblivion).

-* The world began as a ball of bright purple flame.
+=== Consequences & Plot Hooks ===
-* It was found by a group of dark entities from the deep realms, called the [[Forgotten Ones]]. The dark ones attached themselves to the world, attempting to devour the purple light.
+* '''Event Date:''' The Beginning
-* But the flame itself was alive, and to protect itself 10 spirit fragments detached themselves from the flame of origination, and refined the purple light within themselves. This refined light was white, and the rejected light a dark - almost black & deep red spastic flame. The spirits used their powers to create the outer realms in a ring around the world. Then, they split the world's light 3 ways. To one side they opened the source - a path to other universes which they shaped into the white light within themselves, which drove back the [[Forgotten Ones]]. The other side was the "sink", a black hole that captured the light, passing it back to other universes. In the center was a blue flaming sphere - a concentrated form of what attracted the dark ones there, to begin with. This blue sphere become the core of the world, and upon it, life was built.
+* '''The Common Myth:''' The generally accepted creation myth of Kaern is that the Gods emerged from the '''Flame of Origination''' and shaped the cosmos in the Age of Origin.
-* The light extended from the white "source" start in 10 curved arcs - forming a sort of protective cocoon around the world.
+* '''The Angelic Record (Deep Lore):'''
-* The remnants of the Forgotten Ones died in the world, and the only "evil" left was the dark flame left behind in the purification of the original 10 spirits, which formed itself into a black diamond fragment. This represents Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion.
+*** ''In the beginning, there was space. At its center was a single note. No one knows how this note began, it just was. This note echoed out into empty space, expanding and resonating with itself.''
-* The citizens of the blue flame world wanted to bend the power of the world around them to their will. To do this, they siphoned off 4 of the arcs and linked them with the power of the black diamond, which represents [[Encriadine]].
+*** '''The Purple Flame:''' The world began as a ball of bright purple flame.
-* Because the unstable energy created from Encriadine's existence and in-fighting during the [[Age of Fire]], the siphoning of the 4 arcs bent the protective shell, it also created a direct channel of white light through the center of the "cocoon". This started stripping the world of power, but more importantly weakened the energy of the protective "rays".
+*** '''The Forgotten Ones:''' It was found by dark entities from the deep realms called the [[Forgotten Ones]], who attached themselves to the world to devour the light.
-* While the rays were weakened, one of the smallest Forgotten, [[N'yograthon]] managed to slip through.
+*** '''The 10 Spirits:''' To protect itself, 10 spirit fragments detached from the Flame of Origination and refined the purple light into white (pure) and dark (rejected/black & deep red) flame.
-* The divine anchors sent one of their numbers down to destroy the dark one to restore balance to the world; however, he was betrayed by the residents, who were corrupted by the black shards' influence.
+*** '''Cosmology:''' The spirits created the outer realms. They split the light:
-* The energy released by the fallen god did force the Forgotten into hiding, where he was bound by servants of one particular goddess, [[Suyome]].
+***** '''Source:''' A path to other universes (White Light), driving back the Forgotten Ones.
-* The world was now damaged, but the rays restored - with only 9 functioning arcs now.
+***** '''Sink:''' A black hole capturing light (Black Light).
-* A chunk of the world that was in the direct path of the light from the source is now a "dead" spot in terms of the blue flame. This is known as the [[Sysia (The Twilands)]], and magic (and mana) are only just beginning to seep back in.
+***** '''Core:''' A blue flaming sphere in the center, upon which life was built.
-* The [[Dusk Watchers]]' plan is to bind the reformed god's essence with Encriadine, and to use this power to rival the gods. They await the "Dusk" of the world, which will come with [[Ragnarok]]. They will stop the world's end and use it to their advantage.
+*** '''The Arcs:''' The light extended from the Source in 10 curved arcs, forming a protective cocoon.
+*** '''Tharizdun:''' The "evil" dark flame residue formed into a black diamond fragment, representing '''Tharizdun''' (The Chained Oblivion).
