The Creation of Humans
Posted by Apostate on 11/13/19
Q: What does the typical Arvani believe about the origins of humans? (not elves or other mythical people like that)
A:Creation myths tend to not factor strongly into the thinking of most Arvani. Most largely assume that more recent scholars are correct in that the elves referred to human tribes before the birth of civilization, and man came from Eurus, probably fleeing a war that led to what more primitive groups referred to as the Dance of Skulls, and those men became what became the pre-Reckoning kingdoms in Arvum. The more religious explanations that don't speak to development simply say that mankind was born of freedom- that humans should not be confined to any one place in the world compared to beasts that stay in only one habitat, and should be able to choose wherever they might live, and spread all throughout the plane. "You have been granted the freedom to live as you choose. So live." Is one quote sung in a canticle in the Faith of the Pantheon.
