Editing Crestlyn Isle (section)

===Prehistory===
The earliest memory in the known [[Cosmology of Crestlyn Isle|universe]] is of a time when all was boiling with unformed potential; whatever preceded this entropic state is lost to mystery. As the tendrils of consciousness reached through the abyss, they split and tapered as they went eternally down and united and expanded as they went eternally up. Distinct entities inevitably began to cool down and take form from the void, and the first individuals came into being. The first great distinction was one made between two greatly abstract entities of complementary nature. Others were created within and between them, and these became what the people of the world know as gods. The deities were divided into three groups based on the state of their origin: Black, White, and Gray. Seeing the potential to guide the formation of the more concrete worlds below them, they decided to shape the life that would grow below them. The gods in each faction decided to each send a single representative to take part in the creation of the lower world, the White gods elected the god of knowledge, the Black gods elected the god of fire and earth, and the Gray gods elected the god of the forge and life. The gods would later gain names in order to introduce themselves to the beings they would create at the lower fundamental frequency.
