A multitude of stars dotted the endless tapestry of the Void. Worlds spun lazily around the suns and upon some worlds mortals toiled and worked. They worshiped gods which had long since perished and sang songs that had been old thousands of years ago. Only a few of the wiser mortals could read the omens around them, and they were the only ones who grew ill at ease as each year the suns grew a bit dimmer and days grew a little colder. It was these few that were not surprised when one day the sun chose not to rise at all.

Existence had already taken root, but it was over and its gods had moved on and Ao grew restless in the Void. Without a second thought Ao began to wipe the slate clean. Stars flickered out at the far edges of creation and moons shattered to dust and even the dust was swept away by nothingness. The great purging of the Void moved inward and spared nothing. The physical was wiped away and not even a memory was left. The immaterial was not spared either and though it could not be seen by mortal eyes, it too was scoured from the face of the Void.

If the wise men had remained at the end of the day that had not dawned, they would have nodded sagely and said "It comes full circle."

Once again the Void was cleansed and barren. Not a trace, nor echo was left of the previous works of existence. There was no light, nor dark, no up or down, only a vast expanse of nothing and Ao to behold it. But this did not last long and the utter Nothing of the Void would be passing as well. Before returning to his quiet role Ao took one last moment to fashion a new set of gods. Some of them using traces of things from the past, others entirely new, but all of them full of endless potential and granted the power to set the machinations of existence spinning once again.

It comes full circle. Welcome to the Void.

OOC: All gods begin with two Acts rather than the customary one. One Act is a Creation Act. This must be used to work towards creating a working sandbox and should be universal, something that is useful for everyone in getting up and going. Think, water, air, land, trees, animals, stars, sun, planet. If this Creation Act is not spent within two days of game start (when this thread is opened), it is burned off and becomes a normal third Act. The second Act you have on the first day is a normal Act and may be spent as you see fit.
