#makda of creation

[faemytho]

looks at the tags and asks you about the gods

did i save both asks i got about the vmv gods so i could have more excuses to ramble about as many of them as i could?

yes. yes i did.

i love u hisame, ur art is amazing and u are amazing and yall should go give them some love bc they deserve it

today on the @vampire-mythoverse Gods' Mythos: the four fuckers who STARTED this mess

here's the picrew i used to create makda and oru! (note: a lot of the different tabs pertaining to the eyes part of this picrew have different features that go with different eye shapes/pupils/ect. it's very fun to figure out tho!)

on the left is Makda, the primordial God of Creation. they/them. they created Angaea and the angels. they're currently abducted by and fighting the primordial God of the Void, Uir, who's not pictured here. they're a bit of a selfish, stuck up prick, but in the uncaring way, so they're basically the worst. yes they have nine fox tails.

on the right is Oru, the primordial God of Destruction, and split from "The End.". it didn't make one of the three planes, but rather split from The End. to create itself and Eos. it uses and prefers it/its pronouns, but it honestly doesn't care what pronouns you use for it as long as they're not she/her, he/him, or they/them. it's a selfish little troublemaker as you should be able to tell from the cat features, actually has four arms instead of just two, and it oversees the despondence circle (the ninth circle) in Cirxia.

these last two picrews were actually made by @milqueandtoast! co's a fantastic artist and a wonderful person and yall should go follow co because cos skills and art are SO good

below is Elair, the primordial God of Life. they/them pronouns. they created Terra, and the three Gods of Purpose Sha, Sva, and Sar, not pictured here. Elair created the mortalfolk and the magus magic users (called Elairians), while Sha, Sva, and Sar created the rest of the magifolk (called Shvarites). they worked hard on creating Terra, and are currently all abducted and imprisoned by Uir, the same God Makda is fighting for their freedom. they're a very soft and loving God, and they'd absolutely love nothing more than to be back with them, but well, thanks Uir.

this is Eos, the primordial God of Sacrifice and the other split half of "The End.". it uses it/its as well, but unlike Oru, it has no preference for any pronouns and doesn't care which pronouns you use for it. it created Cirxia and all the original demons, and is also abducted by Uir. it's kind of hard to look at, but you should get the vague sense of spider, beast goat, and *SCREAMS-*.

honestly, the only one of these four that Uir didn't abduct was the God of Destruction, Oru, and Eos has an easy link to Oru. Because of them both being split halves of The End., Eos can actually pull itself out of Uir's imprisonment and to Oru's side any time it wants. the only reason it hasn't is because watching Makda fight Uir is hilariously fun, and it easily loses track of time.

but yeah! these four are the Godly Reason behind "why does the world exist" in VMV.

[parafable-project]

In the beginning, there were three Gods within the void of nothing. Makda the Divine Creator, Elair the Life Breather, and Oros of Destruction and Sacrifice.

Makda grew very bored of nothing very fast, and issued a challenge to creir fellow Gods; crei bragged that neither Elair nor Oros could create a world any better than crei could. With creir challenge set, crei set about proving creir words, and began to make a world of creir own.

Not one to balk from a challenge, Oros tried to participate, and found itself unable. Indeed, it had no power to create anything, being also of the aspect of destruction. Frustrated by this, it split itself into two Gods, who would later become known as Oru the Grieving Ice of Destruction, and Eos the Many Handed of Sacrifice. While Oru watched, Eos used its aspect of sacrifice to sacrifice parts of its magic, reshaping them into a world of its own to oppose Makda's.

After a while of this, Elair decided that he too wanted to participate, filled with inspiration and love for his fellow Gods and their forming creations. Being of the domain of Life, he brought forth a world which was alive, and filled it with the inspiration he had gained from his fellow Gods.

When Makda had finished, crei gathered creir fellow Gods together, and called for them to present their worlds.

"Here, I have made a world of simple beauty," the Divine Creator said, presenting creir world. "It is called Angaea for its purity and minimal landscape. It is filled with sleek white stone and clouds that never wisp away, and it is guarded by foxes of marbled light. Its inhabitants are winged with feathers, and they are called angaels, after the world they live in."

Elair listened with rapture, but Eos was not impressed. "Your world sucks," it eloquently declared, "and mine is better even though I haven't finished it yet."

"If your world is so grand," Makda sneered, "then why don't you show us?"

"I will!" Eos declared, presenting its world to its fellow Gods. "I have made a world of darkness and indulgence. It's called Cirxia for its harsh truths, and the inhabitants are called cirixites for they are born of sacrifice. I haven't finished it yet, but I think it's already better than yours!"

While Makda and Eos argued, Elair worked on his world, bringing forth a new God to help him. "I have made a world full of love and life," he said gently to this new God. "It is full of natural wonder, and for that I have named it Terra. However, I will need help bringing its inhabitants forth. I have many ideas for my Terrans, and I will need you, Shvar of Purpose and Personality, to help me."

For twenty years, the Gods walked among their worlds. Makda grew bored of creir world quickly, commanding its inhabitants to worship crer. Eos spent its years among the people it created, living with them, laughing with them, loving them, shaping more and more things for them at their requests.

Elair and Shvar spent their years bringing forth and guiding into being the many Terrans of Terra. First, the Fae Folk of Life, second, the Teridles of Innovation, third, the Magus of Magic, and after them, many many other peoples who would begin to build their own lives and homes on Terra. As Terra grew, so too did its people, and soon, Elair and Shvar were not alone in being the Gods of Terra. Many new Gods sprang forth to embody the beliefs of the peoples of Terra, and spent their days among their people as Elair and Shvar worked to make Terra full of life, love, and happiness.

But upon the 20th year, Uir of Nothing, The Void, awakened vysl. Vyt saw the worlds which had come into being, felt the absence of absence where vyt would be. Jealous and threatened, vyt lashed out, taking hold of the three deities and imprisoning them within vysl, within the void.

Oru, who had remained passive all this time, was left to roam free, among Uir's hopes that it would use its aspect of destruction to make The Void whole again. But Oru had become saddened by its inability to participate in Makda's challenge, and wouldn't dare fathom destroying the beautiful worlds that had been created. Instead, it hid itself away within the world of Cirxia, calling the grieving with its tears of ice.

To this day, the Gods are still trapped, and Oru still grieves. Be sure to send them your prayers, so that they one day might break free and return to us.

VMV: Summarized

First up: What is VMV?

VMV is my own original fantasy sandbox world project, and it stands for Vampire-MythoVerse! I'm still trying to figure out what media I want to create for this project in, but I'm having fun either way.

If I’ve managed to successfully catch your attention by saying the word “fantasy”, then keep reading! This project is my love letter to storytelling as an art, and it's built entirely with that in mind.

VMV is composed of three distinct separate worlds, each with their own magic, rules, cultures, and peoples! Within these worlds, there are many diverse cultures and countries built by a variety of different species, and many individuals with their own thoughts and opinions that have impacted their own respective worlds.

Disclaimer: Everything below is of my own creation. I have drawn inspiration from several myths, religion, and a lot of folklore, but everything below is of my own creation, thoughts, and my own particular spin on a place, thing, or species. I claim not to have created these creatures, but I do claim ownership of these particular interpretations of them.

The three worlds are named as follows: Angaea, Terra, and Cirxia.

Angaea

The World of Angaea is home to the Angaeans, winged beings resembling people who draw magic directly from their God, Makda of Creation, the Divine Creator. In Terra and Cirxia, they are referred to as angaels.

Angaea is split into Wings, as are the Angaeans. Each Angaean that is created is also given a virtue to follow and fulfill, and each virtue is overseen by its respective Merahi/leader. Among these are:

The Guard, Merahi Kuwaye, and Guardians (guard angaels)

The Warrior, Merahi Brachael, and Warriors (combat angaels)

The Judge, Merahi Jemudaeh, and Judges (judgement angaels)

The Mentor, Merahi Azazel, and Mentors (guide angaels)

The Prophet, Merahi Staruin, and Prophets (prophet angaels)

The Providential, Merahi Rafurael, and Providentials (trial angaels)

The Delegate, Merahi Urelis, and Delegates (mercy angaels)

Angaeans spend their time watching over Terra and its inhabitants, and welcoming the dead souls of xynless Terrans into Angaea.

Terra

The World of Terra is home to the Terrans. Among the Terrans, there are many diverse creatures and species, but they can be split neatly into two categories; the Elairians and the Shvarites. The Elairians are those specifically created and touched by the God who created Terra, Elair of Life, the Life Breather. The Shvarites are those who were created by Elair, but touched by the Joint Gods of Purpose and Personality, Shvar of Body, Soul, Mind, and Path.

Among the Elairians are two distinct species, similar in every way save for one thing.

The teridles, humans unable to use magic

The magi, humans born with the ability to use magic (singularly called a magus)

Among the Shvarites are a great many amount of species, such as:

Fae Folk (and subspecies)

Vampires (and subspecies)

Animalia-Shifters (and subspecies)

Dragons (and subspecies)

Each with their own twists, magics, and rules, the Shvarites live alongside the Elairians on the many continents of Terra, including:

Acirfa (The Land of Magitech, Sciences, and Arts). Home to the country of Acirema, and the territories of the Northwilds, the Tresed Desert, and the Southwilds.

Dnalsi Islands (The Land of Dragons, the Sun, and the Moon). Contains seven islands total, lived in and on and ruled by dragons.

Edis (The Land of Many Lands and Peoples). Home to the countries of Rehto, Zorosio, and Eb, as well as the territories of the Zorrehto Forest and the Ebsh Forest Vakredic Hierarchy.

Skrea (The Land of Ice, Fae, and Vampires). Divided and ruled equally by eight leaders.

Each species and continent has their own internal culture and mannerisms. The differences among cultures can be few and sparse in some places, or many and large in others. Essentially, Terra is tantamount to a fantasy flavored Earth.

Axetsua (The Land of Feywilds and Warmth)

Eisa (The Land of Shifters and Change)

Cirxia

The World of Cirxia is home to the Cirxians. The most prominent of creatures, and the only sapient ones, within Cirxia are those who call themselves Cirxites. Created by the God, Eos of Sacrifice, the Many Handed, cirxites embody what angaels refer to as vices, and what they refer to as xyns. In Angaea and Terra, they are referred to as daemons or demons respectively.

Cirxia is split into nine Circles, each circle embodying a different xyn of its own. Cirixites are born of their xyn and overseen by their Prinxes, including:

Prince Adulationis of the Pride Circle and Pride Cirxites

Prince Leviath of the Envy Circle and Envy Cirxites

Prince Sakareth of the Wrath Circle and Wrath Cirxites

Prince/Prinxe Brolkoron of the Sloth Circle and Sloth Cirxites

Prince Azodos of the Greed Circle and Greed Cirxites

Prinxe Nammon of the Gluttony Circle and Gluttony Cirxites

Prince/Prinxe/Princette Asmarath of the Lust Circle and Lust Cirxites

The other two Circles are placed above Lust and below Pride.

The Limbo Circle, the very top of Cirxia. Home to the souls rejected from Angaea.

The Despondence Circle, the very bottom of Cirxia. Home to Cirixites who have fallen into despondence, and overseen by the God of Destruction Oru.

Cirxites must sacrifice a set amount of time to their God by indulging in their xyn. As such, their cultures are built around these concepts.

Those of the In-Between

There’s only three worlds, but there are those who don’t quite fit directly into the box of just Angaea, Terra, or Cirxia. There are those who are rejected from their worlds, and there are those who may not just be one thing or the other. These are the people who aren’t just Angaean, Terran, or Cirixan.

The Fallen and Terravians

The Fallen hail initially from Angaea, and may also be called Fallen Angaels. Their descendants, as well as descendants of Angaeans, are called Terravians. Regardless of which they are born of, Terravians have no magic associated with Angaea, and no magic overall.

Terravians, whether born of a Fallen Angael or of an Angaean, are winged beings who have no magic pertaining to Angaea, Terra, or otherwise. They are avian people of Terra, and their wings may be anywhere from pure white, to pure black, to any color or pattern in-between.

Cirxavians, and Limbo Demons

Cirxavians hail initially from Angaea, and were previously considered Fallen Angaels. Cirxavians are the result of Angaea rejecting a Fallen Angael twice. This double rejection forces the individual to host the magic of Cirxia as a result, becoming what is known as a Cirxavian.

The descendants of Cirxavians are called Limbo Demons. They are beings not initially beholden to Cirxia, but despite this, they resemble Cirixites in nearly every way - but not without some key differences.

The Risen and Terrisen

The Risen hail initially from Cirxia, and may also be called Risen Demons. Within Cirxia, they are known as Hollow Cirixites, and in parts of Terra, they may call themselves Terra't, or Terra-Touched. They are Cirixites who were rejected from Cirxia, and are no longer considered beholden to the xyn they were born to before rising.

The Terrisen are the descendants of Risen Demons. They are similar in nearly every way to their parents, save for a few key differences, which is why they are distinguished separately here. The Risen and Terrisen both could be considered similar to the Peryton.

Hybrids

Hybrids are those who have parents of different species. They may be a Cirxite of two xyns, a Cirxite with powers of the Fae Folk, a vampire who can use magus magic, a magus who can use Fae magic, or any combination of sapient beings across all three planes.

Hybrids are a mix between any two species the entirety of VMV has to offer, (following the rules of each species, of course). A hybrid may be a Wrath | Lust Cirxite, or a Dragon-Shifter | Sloth Cirxite, or a Vampire Lord | Faery, or a Changeling | Magus. There are endless combinations, but each part is still distinctly separate. Only one part can be passed down to a hybrid’s children, which is why there aren’t Wrath-Lust | Sloth Cirxites, or any other combination of three or more species.

Though anyone of one species may have children with anyone of another species, hybrids are not considered welcome in many places. For many places of the three worlds, falling in love with or having children with another species that does not match your own is seen as somewhat of a taboo act. However, there are some places where it is not only allowed, but encouraged; the main leader of Skrea, for example, is traditionally a hybrid between the main two species who occupy Skrea.
