Cosmic Dawn

The universe exists as a single perfect Idea , birthing the concepts of Positive and Negative.


“Before Time”

The Stillness Before All
Long before stars kindled or shadows stretched, before even the ticking of time or the notion of form, all that was, was Thought. Suspended in the boundless silver silence of the Astral Plane, this was no mind as we know it, but the Primordial Thought—a single, flawless concept neither dreaming nor dreamt of, cradled in the hush of pre-being.

It was not matter, not energy, not spirit. It was pure potential—unshaped, unknowable, whole.


The Stirring of Consciousness

The First Ripple

In that infinite stillness, a subtle quiver stirred the Thought—not movement in space, but a shift in knowing, the moment it became aware of itself. There was no thunder, no blaze—only a perfect, eternal whisper:

“I am.”

At that first recognition, the Thought gently fractured into self and reflection, into being and the awareness of being. The cosmos was no longer one, but two-in-one: a mind contemplating itself.


Birth of Duality

Positive and Negative
In seeking to know itself more fully, the Thought divided once more—this time into twin impulses:

  • Positive: the impulse to give, to gather, to create, to hold.
  • Negative: the impulse to release, to sever, to unmake, to return.

These were not “good” and “evil,” but essential mirrors: each giving shape and meaning to the other. From their interplay rose the first law of reality:

Every force calls forth its equal and opposite.
Every act implies its undoing.

Rather than conflict, their relationship was a sacred dance—twin flames circling one another, neither dominating, neither yielding, but each defining the other. This eternal tension became the engine of all becoming.


Weaving the Astral Currents

The First Patterns

As Positive and Negative flowed, they stirred the still Astral Plane into ripples of vibration. Those ripples wove themselves into threads of thought—shimmering filaments that marked the earliest glyphs of reality. Not yet matter, not yet form, but the idea of form, waiting to be shaped.


Blueprints of Reality

Within these astral currents slept the seed-forms of existence:

  • The geometries of galaxies
  • The pulse of time itself
  • The future souls of gods and mortals alike

These were the foundations of law and magic, of gravity and grace, of fire and sorrow. Unborn yet inscribed, they lay in perfect potential.


Legacy of the Primordial Thought

The awakening of the Primordial Thought is a moment beyond memory, for time itself had not yet begun. Yet it is the wellspring of all creation. Without that first flicker of self-knowing, there would be no cause, no contrast, no spark—and no silence to frame the symphony of existence.

Every realm, every dream, every tear shed in joy or sorrow traces its lineage to that single, perfect pause:

Before light, before dark, before gods or gravity—there was one silent Idea.
And it dreamed the multiverse into being.

“The Moment of Becoming”

The Shattering of Equilibrium
In the vast stillness that followed the Primordial Thought, the balance between Positive and Negative stirred toward critical tension. Neither force sought victory—yet neither could abide perpetual stasis. When at last their twin impulses met in perfect opposition, the cosmos itself fractured in a cataclysmic event known as the Great Collision. In that moment, the first singularity erupted, hurling raw potential into a newborn expanse and marking the birth of matter, energy, space, and time.


Emergence of the Energy Planes

From the roaring heart of the Collision, two primal realms sprang into being:

  • The Positive Energy Plane
    A boundless realm of radiant vitality and generative force. Its currents fuel growth, light, and the spark of life that dances through every star and soul.
  • The Negative Energy Plane
    A vast void where entropy reigns, where dissolution and decay reclaim form. Its dark depths embody the necessary end, the quiet return to stillness from which all things emerge anew.

These twin planes became the polar anchors of reality, their subtle influences coursing through the fabric of creation.


Cosmic Gateways: White Holes and Black Holes

In the material universe that sprang forth, the abstract energies of those planes found physical expression in two phenomena:

  • White Holes
    Rare and radiant eruptions where matter and energy pour outward—a mirror to the Positive Plane, symbols of creation’s overflow and the ceaseless birth of new worlds.
  • Black Holes
    Abyssal wells of gravity from which nothing can escape—thresholds to the Negative Plane, embodiments of collapse, entropy, and the vanishing of form.

These gateways bind the metaphysical and the material, ensuring that creation and destruction remain entwined.


The Legacy of the Collision

The Great Collision set the universe on its relentless course. In every galaxy’s spiral and every star’s heartbeat, the tension of Positive and Negative endures. Worlds rise on the wings of light, only to be reclaimed by shadow. Life blossoms, then falls, only to bloom again elsewhere. Thus the cosmos journeys—a tapestry woven from the first spark of becoming, driven by the delicate, eternal dance of forces born in that primordial explosion.

This eon stands forever as the Moment of Becoming, when pure potential shattered into reality, and the universe embarked on its ceaseless odyssey through time and space.


“The Moment of Reflection”

The Luminous Emergence
In the wake of the Great Collision’s roaring birth of matter and force, a new realm coalesced from the interplay of extremes. Where Positive and Negative energies once clashed, their echoing currents wove together into a radiant tapestry: the Astral Plane. It was neither pure light nor absolute void, but a living sea of shimmering potential, the true bridge between creation and dissolution.


The Bridge of Balance

The Astral Plane became the connective fabric of the multiverse. Its flowing currents linked the shining expanses of the Positive Energy Plane with the shadowed depths of the Negative Energy Plane, holding them in dynamic tension. Through its mist-like waves, the raw forces of existence could mingle, temper, and transform without colliding in unchecked destruction.


The First Sentient Ripples

Within that luminous ocean, the energies found new form. Subtle eddies of awareness gathered in its depths—tremors of self-knowing born from the very act of reflection. These were the First Sentient Ripples, proto-minds shaped from pure astral fire, each a nascent consciousness flickering against the backdrop of endless possibility.


Ascension to Divinity

As these ripples grew in clarity, they crystallized into the first gods—beings who embodied the principles their astral birth had revealed. Some carried the clarity and harmony of ordered thought, weaving new laws and structures. Others bore the wild spark of chaos and intuition, championing change and innovation. Together, they laid the foundations of cosmic law and myth, their personalities and domains born of the currents that forged them.


The Cosmic Stage Unfolds

With the gods now awake in the Astral Plane, a grand drama commenced. Bound by neither matter nor time, these divine actors shaped realms, set the patterns of fate, and staked out domains of influence. The Astral itself became a stage upon which the eternal struggle—order against chaos, light against void—would play out in infinite variations.


Legacy of Reflection

Eon III stands as the Moment of Reflection, when raw potential first “looked in the mirror” and saw itself. From that self-awareness sprang thought, from thought sprang purpose, and from purpose sprang destiny. The Astral Plane endures as the heartbeat of the multiverse—a living memory of that first insight, the place where every god, every spirit, every curious mind still returns to learn who it is and why it exists.


This eon’s reverberations echo in every dreamer’s vision, every spellcaster’s invocation, and every divine decree—reminding all that before form there was reflection, and before action there was awareness.

“From Spark to Sovereign”

Astral Embers Ignite
After the Birth of the Astral Plane, the endless sea of potential shimmered with countless flickers of self-awareness. Each spark carried a fragment of the Primordial Thought—raw possibility yearning for shape. From these luminescent embers rose the Elder Gods, the first true divinities, each destined to embody one facet of the cosmos’s promise.


Shaping Reality from Dream

In that timeless crucible—long before star or planet—a grand contest of will unfolded. The Elder Gods discovered that concentrated intention could draw upon astral currents to form substance and law. United in purpose, they wove the Foundations of Order:

  • Patterns of Cohesion: They ordained how energies might gather into stable forms, laying down the rules that would later govern atoms, worlds, and sentient minds.
  • Rhythms of Change: By balancing stillness and motion, they crafted the cycles that underpin every birth, growth, and decay.
  • Law of Cause and Effect: They bound every impulse to its outcome, ensuring that every choice echoes through the weave of time and fate.
  • Threads of Power: Into the astral tapestry they inscribed the primal glyphs of magic—runic blueprints from which all future spells and rites would draw.

Though unnamed in later ages, each Elder God became the living personification of a cosmic principle—Time’s silent current, Night’s enfolding veil, Fate’s unbroken loom, Light’s clarion spark, Darkness’s hidden depth, and countless others.


Forging the Codices of Existence

With those primal laws set, the Elder Gods codified the Codices of Existence. In gestures of pure thought, they sketched the outlines of realms yet to come: the very idea of solidity and void, of harmony and conflict, of life and its mirror, death. These first codices bound the raw chaos of the Astral into a coherent framework—an ordered blueprint that would endure through every eon.


Withdrawal and Legacy

Having wrought the bedrock of reality, the Elder Gods withdrew to the loftiest currents of the Astral, entrusting the fledgling cosmos to new stewards and archons. Yet their influence endures:

  • Astral Anchors: Some remain hidden in deep astral currents, ready to guide creation when it falters.
  • Conceptual Echoes: Others dissolved into pure ideas—Hope, Despair, Wonder—that pulse through every world and every heart.
  • Immutable Foundations: In every pattern of matter, every beat of magic, every turning of fate, the Elder Gods’ original Codices persist, unseen but unbreakable.
