The Core Idea
In the beginning of time, there was light. There was light and nothing but light. The light was the effect of a single orb, lodged deep out in the plain void of space. But one day, the orb decided to stop shining its light. When the orb decided to stop, it released a new substance out into the universe. The substance was darkness. The light scattered away from the orb and hid in the deepest corners of the universe. And so, darkness ruled the universe for billions of summers.
But one day, the light decided to return to the orb. This made the darkness upset. The two great forces finally met each other in a great confrontation. The light with its speed and agility struck quickly at the darkness. But the darkness stood its ground with its toughness and stubbornness. They pushed at each other for millions of years, until the orb decided enough was enough.
The orb allowed the darkness to rule half of the universe, whilst the light ruled the other half. The orb said that he would leave the universe, and let the two forces rule the world covalently. So, the orb created one last substance, this substance was the void. The void was a special area of the universe that nothing went into, or came out of. So it goes, the orb threw himself into the void and forever left the universe.
The light started to create great structures, such as the Sun, the Moon, the Stars and Earth. The darkness took everything that was not ruled by the light. The void just stayed where it was with no disruptions, until the light upset it.
The light began to make life; he made cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, and humans. The void didn’t like the creatures that inhabited the light’s structures, for they were much too curious. They would wander around his creations and fall off them, then fall into the void’s territory.
The void was not happy, for he was supposed to be forever alone. No disruptions. But there was. There was a Human named Krug, Krug was quite the nomad, trying to conquer the lands that other humans had not yet conquered. He found the end of the Earth, but he was much to wise to jump off the edge of the planet and into the void.
So he gathered up chickens and threw them into the void. They fell and fell forever. But one day, the void noticed Krug’s doings. So, the void told Krug that he no longer would be able to throw the chickens into the void, for the void had cursed him. The void made Krug’s mind deteriorate. He realized that Krug would not be able to survive being stupid though, so he made Krug big and strong. This was the development of the first Orc.
There was another Human, Urguan. Urguan did not like the light. So he started to tear apart the light’s structures and live underground. Whilst underground, he started to find things such as gold and diamonds. Urguan started to have a deep love with the ores, and did not tell anyone about them. He became greedy, and he kept digging for more. But one day, he found bedrock. Urguan tried to break the strong material, but he could not. So he kept at it for two score. Finally, Urguan broke through. But… there were no ores underneath the strong bedrock, it was nothing. It was the void. The void saw the light coming from the opening Urguan made. He was upset, for now he had to patch it up. The void swiftly punished Urguan for disturbing him by making him short and greedy. Urguan was the first Dwarf.
The next human to upset the void was Horen. Horen was a modest human who wanted to rule all of the land on Earth. So he conquered all that he could, but with all of the land and people living with Horen, there was noise. The noise could be heard from miles away, including downwards. The void heard the noise, and was once again, upset. He came up to the surface and told Horen for disturbing him, he would curse him. He would make his life limited, and his peoples would never have peace amongst each other as a whole again. This was the first modern day human.
Then there was Malin. Malin was a human that loved the world as it was. He contributed by making larger tree and flower structures. But the roots of his grand trees were so great that they stretched all the way down to bedrock. They were so strong that they were able to break the bedrock. This awoke the void again. The void came up through the opening that Malin’s great trees had made and he told Malin that he would be cursed. He would make Malin weak. Malin was the first Elf.
But then there was Iblees. Iblees was a human who hated every other human that lived by him in Minecraftia. He lived by himself atop of a great volcano. He would shout atop the volcano everyday about how much he hated each one of the other humans. He shouted so loud that the void could hear him. The void was upset with Iblees for doing this. He could hear Iblees ranting day and night, and the void decided to take care of him. So, the void told Iblees he would be cursed. He made Iblees his own realm were he would live by himself until he found a way out. He then dipped Iblees in a pool of lava, making his skin dark and rough. This was the first Undead.
The last person to upset the void was Aeriel. Aeriel was a nice girl and kept every human happy. The void did not like this for he sensed it and it upset the balance of good and evil in Minecraftia. So the void visited Aeriel one night and told her that she would be cursed. He put her in a far away land and made her forever hated by everybody. She was the first Ascended.
There were other humans that upset the void that spawned off other races, such as the Kkarajyr, who were cursed with forever being forgotten. But the void realized he must do something. He created a protector that would seize all of the people to stop interrupting him. The man he made was named Ulfer. Ulfer was created on the sole purpose to protect the void from being disturbed. So he created zombies and skeletons, spiders and blazes. He did this to make every human and their offspring from overpopulating or doing anything that would ever disturb the void again.
And so it was. Each one of the orb’s creations was happy. The void had peace, the darkness had nothing, and the light had a show. But, the darkness and the light realized that they one day may leave. So they would need something to keep their jobs going after their disappearance. This resulted in the keeper of the darkness, and the keeper of the light.
The Keeper of the Darkness was made by the darkness himself. He made a human looking creature with the skin of an undead. This keeper was named Narsell So the darkness did one day decide to leave, and he left Narsell in charge of darkness.
The light was the next to leave, so he made his own keeper. The Keeper of the Light was created with the body of a human, and the complexion of an Elf. The Keeper of the Light’s name was Argile. Argile took over the duties of the light.
Everything was right in the universe. And so it was, universe was good and lazy.
The Two Sects (For Now)
(Subject to change)
But one day, the secrets of these forgotten gods was revealed. A man/woman was travelling through the oceans of Asulon looking for land to set up a village. He stumbled upon an area that was grey and ugly. He was confused at what it was. The area was dull and boring and the man/woman's interests were ignited.
The man/woman kept walking until he found a mountain on which a glowing figure was standing. The man/woman went to the figure and asked why the land was corrupted and what was going on. The figure looked at man/woman with a soft smile. He told the man/woman that his name was Argile. He was the creator of the all the physical things in the universe. He continued talking with the man/woman about Narsell, Ufer, and the orb.
He told the man/woman that it was time to let the secret be known and for everyone of Asulon to know the truth of the universe. He told the man/ woman that the man/woman is the messenger of him. He told the man/woman that the message of civilization, freedom, and life should be spread through the man/woman's tongue.
The figure walked away beautifying the land in front of him. The man/woman immediately went back to his home and started preaching the message of Argile.
Little did the man/woman know, but he had started a sect of a religion known simply as The Followers of Argile.
News reached Narsell about Argile's doings and conversation with the man/woman and he was not happy about it. Narsell had other beliefs than Argile. Narsell thought that the people of Asulon should try to tear each other down and be lead by a single person. So Narsell took matters into his own hands.
He visited a man/woman in his/her sleep and gave him a message. Narsell told the man/woman that he is a god and he has chosen him to spread his word. The man listened with intent and agreed to everything Narsell said. He was told that he would spread the message of destruction and monarchy in the realm of Asulon. This sparked the other sect of the religion, The Followers of Narsell.
The rivalry between the two gods escalated and Narsell told his prophet too rival the Followers of Argile and to overthrow their message, and to dominate the realm of Asulon.
