Creation Myth:
ENG: In the beginning there were only stars and moons, moons eventually died off and became planets but they held seeds within them, as do all things. Once another moon was breaking apart, each part fell to the other moon and these became the lands we now walk on, the seeds within both moons came together and gave life, birthing plants, the first of a new era of life.
TUC:
Stars:
ENG: At first there was only the sun, in the olden days it was massive but small parts began to develop consciousness and decided to break away, becoming their own little suns and eventually growing to become suns of their own but then little parts of these suns began to develop consciousness also and so on and so forth and that is why there are now countless stars.
TUC:
Origin of Animals:
ENG: Animals came from the seeds of the two moons but now they come from dead humans, we bury our dead to aid in the process. The seed held within each human has enough within it to birth one new animal. There is no way to tell what animal one will become as it is decided in their final moments with all of their experiences, thoughts and feelings entering the ground and from that moment on they begin the process. Herding animals come together because they were fallen brothers in arms during war time or they are close friends, these bonds are so strong that not even death can break them.
TUC:
Origin of Humanity:
ENG: Humans come from the red grasses of the East, look at your blood and you see it is red, this is because it is the last sign of this. Humans remained in the ground with their grass bretherin for years but they longed for something more, they longed to one day touch the sky. The humans spoke to their grass bretherin and said "we will do it, we will touch the sky". Their bretherin laughed at them and asked "how will you do that?", believing it impossible but the humans were defiant, they knew it possible. The humans came together and decided that they could never touch the sky if they lived in the ground, they then decided to pull themselves from the ground, it was difficult for their roots were large and deep and the red grass begged them to stop but they pressed onward, continuing to pull themselves until finally they were on the ground as they crawled around, they found that they could walk on their roots. The humans cheered as they were now closer to the sky than ever before but they were also disappointed that they had not achieved their goal but they knew that even if they could not, their descendants certainly could, so they set about finding a way to reach the sky, this single goal strengthened their seed and drove them onwards while the red grass remained in the ground, we changed to suit our new environment and continued towards the sky.

Origin of Speech
ENG: Humans originally could not speak but the animals of the planet knew how, they had learned over time while the humans were still in the ground and taught them, the humans were grateful for their help and both lived peacefully together but eventually the humans tired of eating only fruit and berries, they began wondering if they could eat the animals and they did. The animals despised them for this and decided to stop teaching the humans how to speak, they even stopped speaking around humans but as humans spread the animals grew more and more silent until eventually they never spoke and now they are unable to speak at all. The humans used this ability, shaping it ot their will and changing their speech over time until they spoke the same as you and I do today.
TUC:
Shl'novi:
A tall humanoid creature with dry leathery black skin, anorexic in appearance which is depicted as having the skull of an oro for a head. This creature always carries a large and partially rotted tree branch, dragging it along as it limps around. Only victims of the Shl'novi can see it as it slowly limps towards them and outstretches its arm followed by its long and bony fingers without effort, placing its hand on their face pushing its thumb and baby finger into their cheeks, slowly feeding on their Tai(seed) until their demise in the hope that it will one day be sustained but it is cursed to exist in a state of fatal starvation for eternity.
