Shadow Born

The reign of the Divine had shone like a diamond in the lands of Vyn from the very first morning. The Gods, who have hordes of mortals at their feet, are nothing more than self proclaimed henchmen of the weakly light.
Why has your world been an embattled place from time immemorial, an arena of powers and immortals? Your false Gods could not rewrite history completely. They have nearly reached their goal, they nearly at a point where their servants, mortals and immortals, are under the impression that the world and the Gods are an incarnation of light.
What a misbelief...

At the beginning of Creation existed light and darkness. At some point, these two ancient energies joined and that what we call the Creator emerged. These energies formed space and time into a unified four-dimensional structure in which the spatial and temporal coordinates were mixed with one another during the transformations into other frameworks. Thus from light and darkness, twilight was created, also called shadow. From this, solid structures and planes were formed, amongst others a world of shadows and dusk, the princedom of Tyr.. falsely called Vyn, realm of light by the misled.
We are not a birth of light, we are the Shadow-Born. We were created by the twilight, for we are a part of the Creation and the Creation is part of the shadow. Only our Divine do not come under the Shadow-Born, only they were created by light, they are the Light-Born. But the brightest light can also cast the deepest shadow...
I mean.. how can it be that the Gods can die?
The answer is simple: because they aren't gods. The truth is: light and darkness are the true Gods of the universe. The Gods you serve are meaningless creatures of light. They have been deceiving us the whole era.

With this observation alone questions arise to which the Divine owe us answers to this day. Is the Creation identical to the Creator? If there is a Creation - what is its goal? And most of all, if light created the Divine, then what in the name of the Seven did darkness create?
So, in the core of our world is a chaotic nature. The eternal order that the Gods lead us to believe in, is mere scorn. Our Gods are self proclaimed gods who pose as servants of a higher power with the only goal of ruling the world. But chaos alone rules over Vyn, no god or king will ever reign, chaos will. But why should a Creation exist without order and meaning? Maybe chaos is only chaos until we realise that there is a higher power.
What are scholarliness, love and mercy compared to fate, power and destruction? Ask yourselves! How can it be that powerful gods die?
