The universe was born in a sea of darkness and chaos.
This primal force called itself Legel, and embodied both creation
and destruction. Legel's ever churning forces gave birth to
a myriad of worlds and creatures both great and small.
Many creations were quickly snuffed out by the very force that
made them, but there were areas of temporary calm.
It was in one such peaceful location that the Goddess Teva and
the world of Isya were born.

 

Like many before her, Teva was a being of tremendous power.
She reveled in the power given to her by Legel, however temporary it might be. She was fully prepared to accept the inevitability of her own destruction at the hands of the very thing that created her.

 

But before this could happen, Teva looked down upon the world that had been born at the same time as she and saw a variety of new life on its surface. She saw many brutal and vile creatures upon this world, but also something else.

 

She saw children playing and animals nurturing and protecting their young. There were two species in particular that caught her eye. These species called themselves Humans, and Elves. What made them so remarkable was the fact that they continued to struggle even against all odds, even when most animals would have surrendered. They were frail compared to many other species on the new planet and should not have survived. But soon Teva began to see some of their virtues. She saw their kindness, their self sacrifice, but most of all something else she couldn't understand. Something kept them holding on even when circumstances were dire. Something made them fight on, even though there was no reason to believe in the future.
These creatures called it 'hope'.
