The Story of Beginning

In the beginning there was chaos. Two gods came across it and could not
decide what they should do with the chaos. One wanted to form order out
of it but the other wanted to get rid of the chaos and start afresh from
emptiness. They agreed to wrestle to settle the issue. They wrestled for
a while, and the one favoring order won.

The other god agreed that they should therefore make order out of the
chaos, and they got to work. However, the disagreement had created a crack
in their relationship and they often bickered about the direction to take.
In the end, the two gods agreed that each would get one side of the world
to work on: The one favoring making order from chaos got the light side,
and was known as Omunnod which means 'the greatest light'. And the one
favoring going first to nothing got the dark side, and was known as
Emelled 'the greatest darkness'.

From that day onward the two gods still continue their work, but each
staying out of the other's area. We are a creation of Omunnod, and so we
too ought to stay away when the darkness of Emelled comes.
