In the beginning there was the ['unbuilt'](/world-building/religion#God), and that gave birth to, and created, the 'built'; the world.

Inside the 'built', the 'unbuilt' created the galaxies and stars, which started an [eternal dance](/world-building/religion#eternal-dance), creating great spirals in the skies, filling the empty sky with their light.

This eternal dance gave birth to [new entities](/world-building/religon#lesser-entities) who also joined the dance, until we reach down to [Oros and Eros](/world-building/religion#Oros-and-Eros).

They, through their dance of light and color, created the Earth and the Ocean.

This is how the world was created.

## editor's notes

The following is written from outside the game lore
{{% /hint %}}

The Earth and the Ocean are metaphysical entities representing the physical, material world. Earth is the literal *material* planet, and the Ocean is the water. Combined they create life. They, as entities do exist in-game, as the metaphysical entites, however they are not deities. The only one true deity is the 'unbuilt', however the ancient tribes and peoples worshipped them as such.
