Hi, so it occurred to me that while we have shit tons of TLs and narratives that examine Alternate Histories, we scarcely examine perhaps more detailed things. So I had an idea, wouldn't it be cool to create an alternate mythology?

Well, I'm going to give it a shot, comments welcome, and hey, this is an new idea (from what I know), so if you want to contribute, PM me your ideas, and if they go along with the mythology, post it.

So, let the mythological journey begin....

Book One: The Age of Origins
Chapter One: From Chaos

"It only ends once. Everything that happens before is just progress."

Before time was made into order, there was chaos. There was no reason, no sense, no consciousness. Material was in a jumble, a mesh of unformed being. But some of the material amidst this chaos eventually attached to each other, forming the first conscious and formed being.

It named itself Ei Xiun, which means The First.

And Ei Xiun saw all of the material about, and saw it was not formed or conscious, but that it was chaos, painful and without order. Ei Xiun could hear the materials' cries of agony in chaos, and saved the material from its horror by making the materials into things.

But Ei Xiun was inexperienced in the art of creation then, so Ei Xiun made simple things, like the ground, and the sea, rocks and air.

And so Ei Xiun created the world.

Ages passed and Ei Xiun grew lonely as Ei Xiun continued to create the world, making more and more water, more and more dirt, more and more rock, more and more air.

So Ei Xiun left the realm of order and returned to chaos to save more material. He took the materials into the realm of order, and made companions to help Ei Xiun in the creation of the world.

And so the Gods were born.
