Rálahoan creation myth
In the beginning, there was no Vanatas, just space. But it was not empty, as wandering spirits and entities inhabited the void. They had no names to call themselves, for they rarely interacted with each other, and nowhere to call home. This was the state of existence for countless thousands of years. One day, many spirits met in one place by chance, and for the first time, they thought about something other than themselves. After many years of getting to know one another, they began to think of other spirits wandering the void, and grew sad knowing they would likely never know the joy of being with others. Then, one spirit suggested they create a place for others to meet. They agreed, and so they merged to create Vanatas. The first spirit created the base for the others to work off of, forfeiting recognition of noticeable creation so something could be made of nothing. The other spirits used the first spirit’s form as a canvas to make the world; one became the mountains and hills up high, another the caverns down below, and many more became the sky and the sea, fire and ice, and all the physical features of the world.

Fall of Rorier
Rorier was the god of passion, and after their lover died, they went mad and sought to end Vanatas, declaring it a failed experiment and spirits should return to their wandering ways. They infected the minds of their followers, convincing them that the universe would be better off alone. After Rorier went silent for a while, the other gods sent Luenor, then a war god, to reastablish contact. He would go on to go through many trials of spirit, breaking him and then reforging himself anew. Luenor finally confronted Rorier directly, trying to reason with them. When he realized they were beyond reason, he fought with them for three days and three nights, until he finally killed them (variations range from a somber, heartfelt chest stab; to an exhausted snap of the neck).
