According to the ancient Inar, creation is caused by the Vordragon Cycle, which is the cycle of life for the celestial being called a vordragon. The world of Galwyndor was created when the vorwyrm (an elder vordragon) known as Dekilia burrowed within the cosmic stone that housed the egg of the vordragon Gyva. In cracking the egg's shell, the new vordragon sprang forth, shattering the stone and the shell in a great burst of fire and smoke. This dispersed the stone pieces into the cosmos, creating worlds. Embers of the flame also spread, forming suns and stars. Pieces of the shell also rained down upon the newly created worlds.
Gyva, being young, was full of magical energy called vorsys, which the elder Dekilia sought, as it had just fought a long and terrible battle. The elder wyrm coiled around the younger and attacked it, trying to leech some of its energy for itself. A great cosmic battle ensued, with both creatures fiercely fighting to gain control of the vorsys energies. Tears from the younger dragon fell to the earth to become the water. Gyva's shrieks and the beating of her wings created the air. Having no wings or legs, only a maw, the wyrm Dekilia could only bite and bleed. Dekilia's blood fell to the earth, scorched from the flames the younger dragon belched forth. While locked in battle, the elder began siphoning power.
