Timeline of Ossentian History

The timeline of Ossentian history, beginning with the Creation Myth.

Forging of Ossentia
Ossentia was created by the All-Mother, Anàya. Utilising the primordial chaos that surrounded her, she birthed Ossentia as two seperate aspects; the Mundane and the Eerie. Of the two aspects, Anàya drew threads of the primordial chaos and wove them into the foundations of the Eerie. She also did the same to the Mundane, but was interrupted before she could fully finish combining the two.

It was the arrival of the Great Dark Ones, beings of Primordial Chaos, that interrupted Anàya's birthing of Ossentia. The quartet fought the All-Mother until she drew upon their very being, the chaos that constructed them, and blew it to pieces. The Great Dark Ones were dissipated, flung to the farthest corners of creation. It took them many millennia to reconstruct themselves.

At this, though, Anàya was fatigued by her efforts. She decided that she needed helpers, children with whom she could share the task of constructing Ossentia. She drew upon the chaos and sculpted the Lord, breathing life into him. The Lord looked upon his mother and bowed low, already recognising her as his creator. Next, the All-Mother crafted a copy of herself, calling this one the Mother. She breathed life into the Mother, and the Mother looked upon her creator and her brother and was happy. This process repeated, until the other eight members of the Ten were filled with life; the Warrior, the General, the Witch, the Lover, the Trickster, the Hunter, the Mistress and the Smith. Then Amàya rested, fatigued by her efforts.

The Ten looked upon their creator, their mother, and decided that they would continue what the All-Mother had started, and they used the primordial chaos that surrounded them to continue the construction from Ossentia.

The Smith, youngest of the Ten, took it upon himself to forge the foundation of both the Eerie and the Mundane. He spent millennia over his anvil, pounding upon the chaos with his hammer until it became a molten liquid. This he poured into both the Eerie and the Mundane, creating the basis of Ossentia.

Then came the Mistress, who breathed cold air upon the surface of this molten chaos to cool it into solid rock.

The Smith continued, creating earth that he sprinkled upon the rock to create gardens in which the Mother could grow plants. Then he poured water upon Ossentia and made the oceans.
