Creation of Existence

It is important to note that what is generally believed to be the origin of the universe and how the universe actually came to be are two completely different things. Below is the wide-spread myth of how the universe began as well as the scientific explanation, which has yet to be discovered by scholars.

Mythology
The primary creation story believed to be the truth is of the gods collectively creating the Material Plane in the span three weeks.

On the first week, Vadas, the chieftain god, shaped the plane, then created the planet of Albasar, giving his blank canvas to the rest of the pantheon.

On the second week, Motina, goddess of nature, created the flora and vegetation of which their creations would consume.

On the third week, Kestus, goddess of life, created the fauna. Finally, creation of the first sentient inhabitants of Albasar. Sophron, goddess of wisdom and logic, created the Goblins, and Bellum, goddess of war, created the Dwarves.

This set of humanoids, the goblins and the dwarves, are known as the "First Humanoids", which are the first humanoid races to inhabit the world. Other races, like Humans, Elves, Orcs, Tieflings, Halflings, Aasimar, and others are believed to have been created at other times, or evolved from one of the two groups of First Humanoids.

Creation of the Universe
There is no one who knows exactly how the universe came to be or what was in it's place before it was born, as even the Gods themselves were brought to life in the instant the universe was created. They were not given form yet, though, and were only disembodied forces. And so, the gods were born into the universe, but there was nothing but the elements broken down into molecules and scattered across existence.

Together over the course of millions of years, the Gods combined the elements around them into molecular clouds, which led to the creation of the stars. And from the force of gravity created by the stars, the planets were born. It was during this time of creation that the Gods began to take form. No longer were they just the forces of creation, but became sentient beings.

Life on Albasar
While the Gods did not whip up all life out of thin air, they were the guiding hands that enabled life to begin. They created a harmony among the elements that created the first single-celled organism. From this cell, life began on Albasar and evolved over the course of millions of years.

The general belief in the First Humanoids, though, is not as far off base as one would think. It was Sophron and Bellum who influenced life on Albasar to lead to the creation of sentient life forms. Bellum, on the continent of Camaros, helped evolution led to the creation the Dwarves, while Sophron, on the continent of Ethis, aided in the evolution of life into the Goblin species. From these two original sentient life forms, evolved nearly all humanoid species.
