Fiction:Obvia'Atra/Original/Religion/First Light

"Then the Light came forward, and its wave fell on the new shine of its creations, and its luminescence threw back the darkness, and all worlds became calm, and chaos dissolved before its holy essence. For the offspring of heaven first-born had come, and forever it would shine true. And there was Light."

- Translated from the ''Book of Peace

The First True Light was the first of the two Core Essences to spread through reality, a vast hypernova of divine energy that in turn gave birth to many energies and spread some of the first forms of life in existence along its path through what was once the limbo of unreality. The light was the largest infusion of divine energies to ever come out of the Celestial Realm, so pure it carved out an impossibly large space in unreality (what would later become reality) and blazing the foundations of reality's domains, in turn spawning the bases of the young omniverse. Thought to have first formed into a massive speher of blinding light, it then exploded across unreality, defining "myriads of myriads of worlds in myriads o myriads of nascent realms (universes)". However, the light was also too pure to allow mortal life to exist, thus leaveing gaps of nothingness within the space it had estalished before. With arrival of its polar opposite, the "black tars" of teh Darkest Void, which spawned darkness tahtate away at the concentrated light, large sections and eventually the overwhelming majority of the omniverse became "teh grey lands", places where both purity and death coexisted to allow normal life.

According to legend the Light was first held in teh interior of a "great, shining gem, the likes of which no reality could ever set its eyes on without being burned from existence" (so pure that it could not come out of Heaven), created by the Truth Kkia'Sihm, who is called the Crafter of Light because of his crafting the epic gem, known as the Val'nylar. When the gem was shattered by an unknown enemy its light scattered, thus causing the spread of teh First Light. Its spread is revered as the most sacred event in existence by the Ravenrii, regarded as their master's best accomplishment and the untainted nature of life. Other light entities also formed from within the light, among them the keeper of prosperity, Verezuon.
