The following is a creation myth and a pantheon of gods from the imaginary country Capricacia.
When all the world was young, it was round and soft, and all the planets stood still in the sky. Many thousands of years later, the world froze in the coldness and became brittle. One day, a great noise shook the planets from their positions, a noise so loud that it would keep all the planets moving for trillions of years to come. This noise came from the cracking of the surface of the world. One day later, a star, Cpelckan, shot out of the top of the earth, leaving behind a trail of fire and ice, so that the center of the world was hot, and the North and South poles were cold. The star shot out with such force that the ice at the top of the world, Npthshar, gave birth to organisms of all kinds. Thus the world began.
A Pantheon of Gods and Goddesses
Cpelckan-- After shooting out from the earth, Cpelckan turned into a man, taught the first humans of the earth how to make fire and clothing, then when his mortal self died, he dove to the bottom of the ocean and there began a kingdom of the dead from where he ruled the world.
Npthshar-- The ice. Gave birth to the first organisms and, in human form, came with Cpelckan to the bottom of the ocean as Queen of the Dead.
Lariadf-- The fire. God of war and destruction.
Calandra-- Daughter of Cpelckan and Npthshar, and most beautiful human in the world, who taught the humans how to craft jewelry.
Mcaek-- Son of Npthshar and Lariadf, a very aggressive person, who taught the humans how to make armor.
Capetr-- An idle god, son of Npthshar and a wooly mammoth, very fat, and patron of drunkards.
Qak-- God of complaints, who receives complaints from humans and passes them onto Kjla for judgement.
Kjla-- Goddess of judgment and law. Punishes law-breakers, and beat Capetr with a rod of ice for twenty hours for stealing a vase from Npthshar.
