While Castores is home to a number of faiths, its myriad beliefs all hold a similar origin point. Although the exact details have been warped by time and teller, one can find many commonalities between them. Thus, even sceptics believe there is some nugget of truth to these stories.

Story holds that in the beginning, there was only the unchanging Stasis. Into this Stasis was born Chaos, the agent of change. Due to its nature, even Chaos could not maintain a consistent form, and thus split across the universe.

One such fragment was further split in two, becoming  Castores and Polydeuces. While Polydeuces maintained its position, Castores was flung to the far edges of its parent star.

Castores however was not a singular entity. Known as the Shapeless Time, numerous proto-spirits raged across its form with no sense of order. It was inevitable that Castores would continue to split and subdivide until there was nothing left.

Before this disintegration could occur however, the nascent world was visited by the Demiurge, a mysterious agent of Stasis.The Demiurge created the Primordials to bring order to the land, and through them created the hierarchy of spirits. To prevent the disintegration of spirits further, a loop was created in which the greater spirits tethered the lesser ones, and in turn, their faith in the protection of the greater spirits empowered their keepers. Thus formed the relation of Gods and their followers. Less faithful beings became the beasts and plants, and in some cultures, some believe the Fey.

As the early world took form however, the Primordials became of less use to the Demiurge. Simple, single-purpose beings created only to create, they grew jealous of the lives of those enjoying the world they had forged. And so they rebelled against their creator, becoming  the True Demons.

It is said the True Demons removed the Demiurge from the world.It is only through the combined power of the Gods that True Demons were locked away.

It is from here that myth separates into a myriad of clouded histories, much of it lost to time.
