Prologue #2 - The First of Days
Prologue #2 comes from my notes on the world as a whole. It tells the story of three basic elemental deities who learned to divide themselves. Everything in the Nightshine Islands can be traced back to at least one of the three gods through their actions (known as fingers) and their intent (the hands or the heart).
Most simply, each deity exists in three basic states - the right hand (supremely unselfish), the heart (viewing the world as a tool neither good nor evil) and the left hand (supremely selfish). Each form can then exist in as many other ways that suits the ends of the whole.
Please forgive my voice in this episode. I have spent the last few days wrestling against some unexpected sickness.
