It is said that the Great God was carried in the womb of the Sun and nurtured by the stars. Surrounded in black and white, he longed for brilliance and variety. And so he painted the world among the stars in great swaths of color--the blues and greys of water, the greens of the forest, the reds of the desert, and the browns of the bare earth. And he painted all the creatures upon it of all shapes and colors, so that he may watch them.

abstract	It is said that the Great God was carried in the womb of the Sun and nurtured by the stars. Surrounded in black and white, he longed for brilliance and variety. And so he painted the world among the stars in great swaths of color--the blues and greys of water, the greens of the forest, the reds of the desert, and the browns of the bare earth. And he painted all the creatures upon it of all shapes and colors, so that he may watch them. Followers of Llahm believe that the first creatures were created as examples. They all looked the same, lived the same, and spoke the same. From these creations, over generations, differences emerged. The first fish mingled with fresh and salt water, rocks and moss, and became salmon and cod and trout and all fish. The first canines mixed with the mountains or soot from fires and became either wolves or dogs. And so too did the first people spread, mixing with the woods and hills and sands and clay, and they became all the peoples of the world. Because of this, those who follow Llahm encourage diversity in almost all things. Differences of religion are tolerated. Mixing of races is not frowned upon. The disabled or deformed are treated with compassion as they still represent the great diversity of the world. The Great God's actions stand in opposition to his purpose. His concern with the physical world shows a desire to connect with the mind. In creating the world and the creatures upon it, he sought to watch them to understand himself. Their struggles are his, and his questions are theirs. As The Great God paints and his people pray for physical things such as bountiful harvests and beautiful daughters, they all sliently beg to know answers to unanswerable questions.
