Lords of Darkwood
In the beginning, nothing existed save the void. Then, a single fire was lit. Around that fire sat two figures: Umbrala and Diunon. Around this fire they sat, telling whatever stories came to mind and, as they did, those stories came to life around them.They told stories of vast woodlands teeming with creatures and of deep dark places where terrible things dwell. They told stories of great and beautiful places as well as fell and terrible ones but soon those stories grew boring. They then told stories of monsters and mortals and the unending fight between them.
Umbrala came to favor the monsters she so lovingly crafted with her stories while Diunon came to favor the mortals in that conflict.
After a full week of swapping stories, Umbrala and Diunon retired to their tent and, shortly thereafter, Umbrala gave birth to two sons and a daughter.
Eirideth, the Lady of the Hidden, loved stories of intrigue and mystery and soon became worshipped by both criminals and those that uphold the law.
Naruth, the giving, loved stories of charity, love, and sacrifice. He became the patron of those who sought to bring good into the world.
And finally, there was Udest, the Watcher. Udest did not enjoy the stories told by his mother, father, and siblings. Instead, he turned his gaze to the mortals themselves to watch what they did when no one was influencing them.
After a prank by Eirideth who wove a tale of murder into Udest's favored mortal and seeing the distress it caused, he extracted an oath from the rest of his family to never interfere with mortals who do not accept their blessing.
