According to the ancient [[Grellist]] mythos, before the world of [[Galwyndor]] or the heavens existed, there was a giant primordial stone called [[Grellis]], which was sentient and wise beyond measure. The stone reside in a great cosmic void, and was timeless.

	After many thousands of eons, the stone became restless and began gnawing upon itself out of boredom. It chewed until a piece broke off, which became the world and released magical energies called [[Soul Stray]] and [[Bone Stray]] into existence. These were both essences of Grellis, from its soul and its bones. When the piece came loose, Grellis cried out in pain, which created the air and released a third essence called [[Breath Stray]]. Grellis then bled, which created the seas and released the final essence into existence, [[Blood Stray]]. The primordial stone contemplated this event, eventually concluding to make the best of the situation, and there conspired to create things which could benefit from his misery: it then made a great [[etherwood]] tree out of ''Skin Stray'' to enjoy the earth (surface), a [[nurlworm]] out of ''Bone Stray'' to enjoy the earth (deep), an [[espitris]] out of ''Breath Stray'' to enjoy the air, and the [[flidfish]] out of ''Blood Stray'' to enjoy the sea. At first Grellis was content, but something was still missing, so the stone created the [[Eldinar]], to enjoy the ability to contemplate. For the Eldinar, who Grellis favored as its greatest creation, it used pure essence of ''Soul Stray''.

	Once turmoil amongst the gods began, the three brothers became envious of the Eldinar, because they were superior to all of their creations, having sentience.

	While there are unions among the gods under this system, and many of the deities are children of other deities, these were all created by Grellis and gifted to the gods as it saw fit. Because the gods of Grellis were unable to create new gods, and their unions were simply by choice, they simply remained content to create new species of mortal creatures as they had always done. Eventually, their desire to create new celestial beings was too great, so they fashioned [[angels]], which required omnicrux from at least two deities to come into being.

	*Drend, ~~god~~ of ~~stone and earth, created the [[dwarfs]] to be heartier than~~ the Eldinar.		They contemplated, learning from their errors, growing ever more envious of the Eldinar. And so each sought to make their next creations better than the Eldinar in some way:

(Of all the races, humans were the only ones to be made from the Eldinar, which is why they could interbreed with them, ultimately creating the [[Meninar]].)~~
	*Helirend, god of water, created the [[helimer]], or merfolk, which could rule the seas as the others ruled the land.

	~~After these races came into being~~, the ~~gods were quite happy with their creations~~. ~~However~~, ~~other gods decided to try their hand at this~~, ~~and~~ three more races were ~~created~~.		*Drend created the [[dwarfs]] to be heartier than the Eldinar, using trolls as the source.

(Of all the races, humans were the only ones to be made from the Eldinar, which is why they could interbreed with them, ultimately creating the [[Meninar]].)

	*[[Iriel]], goddess of fire and light, created the [[attawa]] ~~from ''Bone Stray''~~.		After these races came into being, the gods were quite happy with their creations. However, having finally achieved better results, other gods decided to try their hand at this, and three more races were created.
	*[[Huctis]], god of fortitude, created the [[jrel]] ~~from ''Blood Stray''~~.
	*[[Kleya]], goddess of protection, created the [[giants]] ~~from ''Breath Stray''~~ to protect nature from the destruction of the other races.		*[[Iriel]], goddess of fire and light, created the [[attawa]].
			*[[Huctis]], god of fortitude, created the [[jrel]].
			*[[Kleya]], goddess of protection, created the [[giants]] to protect nature from the destruction of the other races. The ogres were used as the source for the giants.

	To fashion each new creation, a portion of the essences within the creator was passed along. Although these new races were intended to have other traits that the Eldinar did not, the new races had less of the ''Soul Stray'' within them, which gave the Eldinar a distinct advantage over the other races. The Eldinar possessed a higher measure of power, as pure essence of Grellis ran through their veins, and they were immortal, whereas the others were not. They could wield and manipulate all types of magical energy -- each essence of Grellis, while the other races could only manipulate lesser essences. Ultimately it was [[Skulf]], the god of chaos, who convinced his mother [[Sherriva]] to teach the other races the hidden secrets of wielding and manipulating ''Soul Stray'' in addition to the lesser essences, which was within them all, but to a smaller degree. This brought favor from the race-creator gods, who had always been envious of the Eldinar.		To fashion each new creation, a portion of the essences within the creator was passed along.
