Seeing no responses from his fellows, Vitae set about bringing life to this world.
First Vitae reached out a great ways, linked his hands together, and drew into his chest, as if he was drawing in a pile of dirt for a hug. And so as he did so, earth and stone appeared from where there was nothing before, tilled from nothingness into this world by the will of vitae. This collection of dirt became a continent floating in the void, a mostly circular landmass with was flat and dislike near the edger, but mountainous and hilly near the center. Upon this land plants and small insects appeared, growing forth from seeds tilled into the earth from Vitae's embrace. Plains, forests, rivers, lakes, and mountains, these were the five foundations of the life that would come to live upon this world. Deep beneath the bedrock magma eternally churned, warming the land from beneath.
Yet the world was dark and cold above, so Vitae endeavored to bring light and warmth into this world. He cupped his two hands together and blew into them, as one does to fight off the cold. When he withdrew his hands a small sun was held between them. This sun was not as powerful and bright as a traditional sun, but was small and warm enough to keep the continent hot in the summer, but not so hot it would not allow winter to visit this place. Lu set it on an elliptical orbit slightly off kilter from the plane the planet was on. It was done in such a way that it does actually orbit the continent, but also so that it never rises high in the sky off the little planet. This caused the planet to have an eternally colorful horizon. Furthermore, the elliptical orbit of the sun was not on the same plane as the planet but instead angled slightly. This would cause there to be more light and heat during the summer months, and less during the winter. Vitae who had been gifted the sphere of season saw to this seasonal cycle.
Lastly Vitea felt lonely. He had spent most of his mortal life without the company of others, and while he did not regret it, something had changed inside Vitae. Something now drove him to fill his wilderness with people. Vitea created the first race of mortals, the Veats. The Veats were a herbivorous race of cervidae like mortals which would inhabit this land. They were lightly furred hooved mortals who grazed upon the grasses, leaves, vegetables, and fruits of this world. Their appearance varied widely across different individuals. Some would look more like moose, while other looked like deer or, chevrotains. Others appeared more like rams, or gazelles, or bongos. Truly each mortal was somewhat different, and in time, perhaps various tribes would as nature selected individuals best suited to their environment, but for now they were a very varied race.
When Vitae was finally finished, he sat down atop the highest mountain and watched his world from above.
Vitae uses 3 edicts to create his world.
