Ayvenas

Ayvenas is a god and creator of the world known as Taborea.14344 He created a book in which he capturwdaded the shape of the world and recorded the origin of life. The book's name was "Taborea." Ayvenas wished for plants in his new world, and so were created endless fields of mellow grass and gigantic trees that reach toward the sky.

When he longed for a magnificent horizon, the bright blue sky and the starry canopy were born. He yearned for new sounds, and the wind began to whisper.

Despite this world's beauty, Ayvenas felt lonely. So he took some clay and formed life.

Ayvenas realized that his creations were weak. Minor incidents caused grave injuries. If they fell ill, certain death loomed. In the face of danger, they were fearful. And because they had no idea how to protect themselves, they were pathetic.

So Ayvenas placed incarnations of himself into Taborea to teach his people various skills and abilities. Before long, the people grouped themselves according to characteristics. The world’s races were born, and the legend of creation was written.

It was a time when the elements were still in balance and the divine envoys Ayvenas sent forth guarded the young and innocent world.

Time passed, the races evolved, and Ayvenas was glad to see calm and stable growth. One day, while writing in the book of “Taborea,” a thought crossed Ayvenas’ mind: “What would his world be like if it was imbalanced?”

Without his knowing, Ayvenas’ thought was recorded, and Taborea began to change.

Ayvenas’ envoys taught all Taboreans knowledge and skills, but differences among the people emerged. The envoys taught everyone to live by the virtue of their own strengths, and most people devoted themselves to farming or hunting, but a few turned to stealing. The envoys taught everyone to unite in the face of danger, and most people lived together peacefully, but some fought amongst themselves.

Eventually, Ayvenas’ envoys developed individual characteristics and consciousnesses. Once the envoys were guardians of balance, but the balance was shattered when they began mixing with different creatures. This blend of elemental envoys and Taborean creatures resulted in countless magical beings — the dragons being the most powerful.

The actions of those mighty creatures are the basis of many myths, which is why this epoch is called the Age of Myths.

Ayvenas was stunned when he realized his creation — Taborea — had slipped from his control. He decided to tear apart the chapters of the future and scatter the fragments throughout the land. He wanted to give the power of the world to the people so that they could shape Taborea’s future.

The divine envoys were unaware of this plan, and once their powers were gone, they felt great despair. They even tried to restore the fragments to regain their powers. Only then did they become aware of Ayvenas’ wishes and complied. At Ayvenas’ command, the envoys pulled back and vanished from the world, thus ending the Age of Myths.

Over the centuries, Ayvenas’ destruction of his own creation became legend. Humans of later eras called the scattered pieces of Taborea "oracles." Some even say that he who obtains the oracles can define the future.
