Theology 101 - On the topic of Gods

Translator

Welcome back, everybody, the lesson will be starting in a moment.

I am glad we had a couple of questions last time, so today we will talk about what happened after the creation of the first Eight Tribes.

Life started to take its first steps on our planets as the first members of the tribes started to populate the Overworld. At the same time, the Grand Spirits of Arcadia, spent by the creation of everything, fell into a deep slumber in a space between the Spheres, outside of our Dominio.

During this time, however, they were still able to help their own tribe thanks to the help of the very first arcanists, called Shamans; Shamans had no modern notion of Mana, Spell components, or Casting disciplines, and yet, they were capable of using their very flesh, and the one of those around them, to create a connection with their respective parents.

Through this connection these arcanists gain powers, knowledge, and strength; the strongest amongst the shamans were also capable of directly communicating with the Grand Spirits, gaining incredible insights and understandings of our reality.

Other than the Shamans, the rest of the members of the Tribes, whom we will properly call Primordials from this point forward, lived their lives according to the Fato, embracing life and death, peace and war during a long era of prehistoric adventures in a still perilous world; during the Primordial Era, Overworld was mostly divided into different regions, according to where the Tribes preferred to live, in which both kingdoms and empires rise and fell, such as the infamous reign of Goril the cruel of the Karads or the kingdom of Eritrea of the Geanis, the first one to introduce the use of proper, centralized educations for the Shamans.

Let me add that those interested in this period can read any of the manuals written by Sir Antonio Vasari of Rome;

in particular, I suggest "Basics of the Primordial Era" or "Lives and Deaths of the Primordial Emperors", both published by Riccioni and available for free at the campus.

This Era was mostly characterized by segregation between tribes, mostly due to the fact that any aggression of a certain Primordial to another descending from a different Grand Spirit, would have been punished by the offended Grand Spirit itself, through its shamans.

This trait, although it granted much better stability and protection in the development of Primordial's Societies, was also something that was not liked by the Shining One, and possibly Fato, the motivations are still not clear although some have posed the idea that Fato strives for evolution and change, things that are repelled by stagnation and staticity.

The Shining One, therefore, created six new beings, without the power of the Grand Spirits, and yet stronger than any Primordial or Shaman; those are known as Godswasnourish or Lesser Gods. To those beings, The Shining One bestowed two blessings: the first one was His True Name, one that mortals cannot understand and one that gave them a connection similar, if not much stronger, than the one that Shamans had with the Grand Spirits; the second gift to them was a Tribe of their own, that they could not create anew to their likings but that they could nourish and shape to their whims.

We humans, as most of you already know, are the ninth Tribe, those not created by the Spirits but blessed by the gods
