The Belation

The Creation story according to the Kharmatikh, the Temple Script

A. Agat (God, Origin) – Anturion

In the beginning, only the vast World Sphere existed, an endless realm ruled by Agath, the Creator, and Rasathan, the Destroyer. Agath, gifted with creation, shaped wonders from emptiness, while Rasathan, bound to destruction, prowled the Sphere's desolate core. Shackled and restless, Rasathan sought to corrupt Agath’s works but found little to mar.

N. Netat (Nothing) – Netation

Before creation, there was Netation, an expanse of nothingness. Rasathan roamed its void, craving destruction, but found only stillness. Agath, wandering the same emptiness, was consumed by visions of what could be, his creative force restrained only by the silence surrounding him.

B. Belat (Beautiful, Creative Power) – Belation

Agath began his work. His first act was to create time, setting it into motion like the gears of a celestial clock. Rasathan, jealous and defiant, twisted time, erasing Agath’s efforts. Unyielding, Agath forged the World Stone to shield his creations, but Rasathan evaded it, carving through its core.

The lands Agath shaped were barren, offering Rasathan no satisfaction to spoil. Enraged, Rasathan cursed the Creator, only to feed Agath's resolve. Next, Agath brought forth Milon, a radiant orb of light that illuminated the lands. Blinded, Rasathan burrowed into the earth, carving caves and raising mountains to escape Milon’s brilliance. He veiled the world in darkness, creating the first night.

Undeterred, Agath summoned the seas, purifying waters that flowed across the barren lands. Rasathan retaliated with fire, but the waters rose as steam, filling the skies with clouds. Bitter cold followed, freezing the waters into glaciers. From their clash emerged snow and ice, heralding a world of contrasts: light and dark, warmth and cold.

Agath’s work had just begun. His creative power surged through the barren land, summoning life from the desolate ground. Trees, plants, and vines unfurled beneath the light of Milon, their verdant leaves thriving, roots drawing deeply from the seas. Where once only desolation lay, the land now thrummed with vitality.

Yet Rasathan, envious and spiteful, sought to undo this creation. He scorched the earth, drying the plants’ lifeblood, and unleashed a sweltering heat that cracked and burned the ground. When the scorched lands could take no more, Rasathan cast them into an unrelenting winter, hoping to extinguish Agath’s work entirely. But Agath was prepared. He set a new light in the sky—Pelon, a gentle blue glow that pierced the winter frost. While it could not banish the cold completely, it ensured life would endure.

From the waters and air, Agath brought forth creatures of exquisite beauty. Fish with glittering scales swam through the seas, and birds with feathers of dazzling hues filled the skies. On land, he placed animals that grazed on lush greenery, thriving under light and water. Rasathan, ever resentful, twisted these creatures into monstrous forms. Once-peaceful beings grew vicious—fangs dripping venom, massive jaws belching fire, and writhing tentacles sowing chaos. The air filled with terror as these abominations turned on one another in frenzied violence.

Thus, the balance between creation and destruction was born. For every wonder Agath created, Rasathan sought to destroy—a ceaseless battle of light and dark, creation and corruption. This was the world’s first struggle, the eternal dance between Agath’s will to shape and Rasathan’s hunger to unravel.

F. FALANA (Life, Woman, Mother, Bringer of Life) – Falanion

When the world’s shape was set, and life began to stir, Agath sought more than simple creatures and plants. His heart swelled with the desire to nurture—a force of kindness to counter Rasathan’s destruction. From the essence of creation itself, he shaped Falana, the Mother Goddess, the embodiment of warmth and vitality. To her, Agath entrusted the gift of life: the power to animate the creatures of earth, trees, rivers, and skies.

Falana moved across the land, her touch gentle as a breeze, leaving flourishing life in her wake. She was the foundation of creation, the source from which all living things took root.

I. ISAMATSUR (Man, Father, Guardian of Plenty)

But Agath understood: life’s abundance needed a guardian. Rasathan's inevitable corruption required a counterforce. So, Agath shaped Isamatsur, the god-man, from the earth's strength and the stars’ wisdom. As the Father of Creation, Isamatsur stood tall—strong, brave, wise. His role was clear: to guard the lands, to protect life itself. No beast or shadow could withstand him, and under his vigilance, the world flourished in peace.

With Falana, Isamatsur formed a perfect union—a balance of creation and protection. From their bond came the Triemelions, beings part divine, part mortal. Agath forged them in his image—radiant, wise, and strong. They ruled and nurtured the world, leaders and shepherds of creation. Through the Triemelions, the lands thrived, their descendants spreading across the earth.

The Dance of the Triemelions—Kha Gilgat Ekh Triemelion

Darkness crept in, as it always does.

Rasathan, jealous of Agath's creations, twisted the Triemelions, warping their perfection into Rasacks—malicious, greedy, and cruel beings. These corrupted creatures, once wise and just, now led Rasathan’s monstrous army. From the stones of Antoria, Rasathan forged weapons and armor, and his army swelled, its shadow threatening Agath’s creation.

The day of reckoning came. Rasathan unleashed his fury on the World Stone. Agath summoned the Triemelions to defend the world. Their power surged: lightning, radiant light, and torrents of water swept the land, pushing back Rasathan’s darkness. But Rasathan countered. Fire and brimstone erupted from the depths, splitting the earth and shaking its foundations.

This was the Battle of Rasaturmion, the war that would decide the fate of Antoria. Powers clashed with such ferocity that the heavens and earth trembled. Noble and vile creatures of old fell in droves. Realizing brute force alone was insufficient, Rasathan unleashed a final, devastating blow: a curse that made all living beings mortal. For the first time, pain and fear gripped their hearts, driving them to flee—yet no sanctuary awaited. Among the chaos, even the greatest beings perished, whether creations of Agath or Rasathan's monstrous spawn.

Agath beheld the devastation—Antoria ablaze, teetering on ruin. Desperate, he used the last of his immense power to divide the realms. He created three worlds: Eulamoria, the realm of light and purity; Antomoria, the middle ground where life’s balance would be tested; and Holomoria, a land of eternal darkness, where Rasathan was imprisoned. In this final act, Agath ensured Eulamoria remained untouched by Rasathan’s reach. Here, only the purest creations would dwell—free from sorrow, malice, or disease. Agath brought a pair of each of his finest beings, animals, and plants to preserve this sanctuary's perfection.

Holomoria became a desolate prison, devoid of light or life. By day, the heavens' blue masked it, but at night, its haunting shadow emerged as a reminder of its grim existence.

Between these extremes lay Antomoria—a fragile balance of light and dark, where life persisted. The World Stone connected the three realms with endless spiraling stairs. Souls from Antomoria ascended to Eulamoria or descended to Holomoria, depending on their choices. The Triemelions guarded these pathways, guiding lost souls but unable to deter those who embraced darkness.

Thus, the eternal struggle between Agath’s light and Rasathan’s darkness continued, each vying for dominion over the souls in Antomoria. Agath forbade the Bethaths, his god-born children, from descending the sacred stairs. As long as they remained in Eulamoria, their lives were unmarred by suffering, greed, or darkness. Yet, as with all perfection, time eroded their contentment.

D. DALAT (Treasure, Temptation) – Dalation

The flawless beauty of Eulamoria had grown stale, and Rasathan saw his opportunity in the stillness. From the depths of Holomoria, he spun his web of desire, crafting illusions of glittering treasures, boundless gold, forbidden pleasures, and the intoxicating pull of power. These dazzling mirages ensnared the Bethaths, luring them from their path of purity. One by one, they descended the World Stone, their hearts consumed by Rasathan’s gleaming lies. The divine faltered, tainted by ambition and greed, seduced by corruption’s sweet whispers.

In their vulnerability, Rasathan struck. With a wave of his dark power, he cursed the Bethaths, stripping away their immortality. Now mortal, they were thrust into a world of pain and suffering. The curses of Antoria stormed upon them, leaving them broken at the base of the World Stone. As they gazed upwards, despair filled their hearts—they could no longer return to Eulamoria, their celestial home. Even Agath could not reach them. The Bethaths were lost.

P. PARAT (Law, Order) – Paration

Paration, the day of reckoning, dawned. Agath summoned the fallen Bethaths, his divine judgment resonating in the shadow of Rasathan’s malice. Redemption, he declared, was still within their grasp—but only through a perilous journey across Antoria. If they resisted the temptations that had once ensnared them, they would earn passage back to Eulamoria in death, their spirits basking in eternal light. Though Rasathan could not kill them or claim their souls without their consent, the weight of their fate now lay solely on their shoulders.

O. OROMAT (Justice, Punishment) – Oromation

To aid the Bethaths, Agath sent the Triemelions, divine messengers and warriors of Eulamoria. Forbidden from wielding weapons or performing miracles, the Triemelions could only guide with whispers, offering wisdom to those who would listen. Yet, even with this guidance, the path remained treacherous.

S. SAGANAT (Path, Choice) – Sagation

The Bethaths embarked on their arduous trek across Antoria, a land rife with danger and deceit. At every turn, Rasathan laid traps—enticing treasures, illusions of power, and cunning deceptions. The strongest among them faltered, tempted by the ever-present pull of darkness. The Triemelions whispered of righteousness, urging them onward, but Rasathan’s temptations lingered like shadows, ready to consume the unwary.

U. UNTAMAT (faith, loyalty) – Untamation

The Bethaths held steadfast to faith—Untamation—rooted in Agath’s promise of redemption. They spoke of his mercy to those still trapped in Antoria’s damnation. Though temptation lurked, they never strayed from the light.

T. TEMANAT (love, dependence) – Temanation

Their bond, their love—Temanation—became their strength. United, they supported one another through hardship, building lives upon the hope of salvation. But over time, even the strongest ties began to fray. Temptation seeped in, sparking quarrels and sowing distrust. One by one, they faltered, returning to the path of damnation. Despair grew, and hope seemed lost.

V. VALAT (vision, eye) – Valation

Amid their suffering, a Triemelion appeared. Blessed with Eulamoria’s light, the being delivered a prophecy: the Bethaths would bear a child destined to atone for their sins.

G. GRALAT (child, birth of life) – Gralation

They named him Gralon. Nurtured in faith and hope, the boy grew with the weight of destiny on his small shoulders—to save not only his family but all who had succumbed to Rasathan’s shadow.

H. HALAT (death) – Halation

Gralon’s parents perished before witnessing salvation. True to their promise, the Triemelions sheltered the boy, teaching him Agath’s ways.

C. CEMBAT (oath, hand, atonement) – Cembation

As Gralon matured, he swore a solemn oath—a Cembation—to lead his people out of darkness.

K. KATAT (skill, sword) – Katation

He mastered the sword, honing his skills in warfare and wisdom.

E. EULAT (deed, magic) – Eulation

Gralon’s deeds became legend. He battled Rasathan’s forces, wielding magic and might with unmatched precision.

R. RASAT (strength, victory) – Kha Gilgat ekh Rasaturmion

Gralon gathered the damned and led them to battle against Rasathan’s armies. The clash, a meeting of light and shadow, culminated in Gralon’s victory. Rasathan’s forces crumbled, driven into the depths.

Y. YANAT (unity, salvation) – Yanakhon

Triumphant, Gralon united the lost at the World Stone, restoring the last vestiges of Yanakhon and leading them to salvation.

L. LAVANAT (balance) – Lavation

Harmony returned to the worlds of light and shadow. Gralon atoned for his parents’ sins and secured peace across the realms.

M. MERAT (master) – Meration

Declared Meration—Master of earthly nations—Gralon ascended to the highest throne. Under his reign, balance prevailed, and the world found peace at last.
