=The Gifts=
Now, the races went forth and did as they would, and the Gods were pleased. And yet, the Races spent much time searching for food, or striving against the beasts. And so the Sun said "let us give them gifts, that they may overcome their environment."

And so the Sun gave unto the Humans Wheat, that they might grow it any place there was water but no forest. And so the humans began to clear away forest, and grow wheat. And the Earth was displeased, but he did nothing.

The Moon saw this, and gave Weapons to the Gnolls. And they used their weapons to kill beasts that would threaten them, and to take from the other races.

The Earth looked unto the dwarves, and gave them Metallurgy, that they might burrow deep into his flesh, and use his ligaments, and perhaps eventually fulfill him and allow the mountains to fall.

The Sky saw these gifts, and in her pride, sought to do better. And she gave the Elven folk Architecture, that they might build truly spectacular edifices. And so the elves built the greatest of structures, and all could see them, and the sky was satisfied.

And none knew what the Darkness gave.
