The Creation

The Creation is the period of pre-history that includes the creation of the Siblings, the advent of mortals on Luminus and the destruction of the Siblings. The events that occurred during this era are known only through myth and religious teachings, and interpretations vary from culture to culture. Most scholars, however, agree to a single common series of events that led up to the start of recorded history.

Birth
The universe began as nothingness--pure and untouched--before an unknown burst of energy allowed the creation of the two primordial forces; Light, and Dark.

Light and Dark are often spoken of as the Sister, and the Brother. The Sister had nothing but love and grace in her--while the Brother was hatred and sloppiness. Despite this though the two siblings joined together in a project that required both their efforts; the Creation of Luminus.

Luminus' Birth
The planet of Luminus itself was formed second of three entities within the universe. First was the Sun--which was formed by the Sister in preparation for the backdrop of Luminus itself--which was then formed by the collective power of the Siblings. Once the planet itself was formed it became apparent that the Siblings couldn't simply form life with ease. Luminus wasn't ready and in rage and sadness the Brother let out tears that eventually formed the oceans of Luminus. In order for the planet to properly function the Brother then created a third entity, the Moon--to echo the Sun his Sister had made.

The Secondary Plains
The Siblings--following their efforts to create Luminus--created two further domains that split the universe into 3 plains. The Field of Reeds--a place of Light under the Sister--Lumins itself, and Hestress--a place of Darkness under the Brother. These plains would act as the personal homes of the Siblings.

The Shattering
With their plains done the Siblings began to work on the specifics of the world of Luminus--starting with semi-sentients such as plants to fill the world with life--then moving to basic and then advanced animals.

Soon it became apparent that both Siblings wanted to create something more--something akin to them, but with the mortality of the animals they'd already made.

However, the two had different ideas on how to go about it. The Sister moved to create the graceful Elves--and the Brother the jagged Daemons. As the Siblings continued to work on their pet projects of Elf and Daemon a fight broke out--one which resulted in the shattering of both Siblings by the others hand--and the birth of the 6 Exemplar Gods from their largest shards.

With their last moments, the Siblings each did something to defend their work; the Sister threw back and anchored the Daemons to Hestress to stop the spread of darkness--and the Brother cursed the Elves with arrogance, and long life to spite his Sister's dream of a graceful and mortal race.
