Tribal creation myth and folklore from the
Northern Hemisphere, dating from 650 B.T.C.
(Before the Third Cataclysm), Antediluvian
Calendar:
Hearken, children of the Ersatz gods, sons and
daughters of the New Earth, for here is truth.
Long ago, before the third of Earth's moons fell
fiery from the star-seared sky, there were those
whom we have come to call the First Ones. These
men-who-were-not-men were the creations of the
Mera, beings from the far reaches of the limitless
cosmos, whose essence still flickers latently
within the minds of all their disparate progeny.
Praise the Mera, fathers of the First Ones,
bondsmen of the K'laa, sworn foes of the Z'xulth!
Sired in the great spawning vats beyond the
fathomless deeps of the Pre-Cambrian sea, the
First Ones throve. Those who were engineered to
live on land duly constructed the grand Antarctic
Megalopolis, ultimately becoming entangled in
bitter conflicts with the hoary Serpent Kings

the vast inner world, whereas those First Ones
that had chosen the embrace of the abyssal seas
were the architects of vast and glorious submarine
cities whose splendid spires and minarets towered
proudly beneath the unfathomed waves. Those grand
bioluminescent cities are now long since fallen,
razed and dispersed, given over to the cruel whims
of the unforgiving oceans. From the lore of our
ancestors, we know the true nature of the cosmos.
We know of the hidden and silent places, the
places which reside in between the veils of
reality, the places which mankind was never meant
to see. All this we know... we who survive, we who
are descended from those First Ones, and who give
thanks to the gods-who-are-not-gods, for our
creation, our genesis, for the breath of life that
was forced into our progenitors during the early
epochs of this cratered globe. Hearken, children
of the Ersatz gods, sons and daughters of the New
Earth, for here is truth...
