Gods of the World - Volume 2

Of the beginning of time: There was no night and no day, and no living thing moved across the land. Then Innos appeared and his light shone upon the world. And Innos gave unto the world the gift of life. But no creature could live in the light of Innos, so he created the sun. But still the light was too bright. So Innos divided himself and thus created Beliar. Beliar created the night. Now man could be. So Innos divided himself again and created Adanos. Adanos brought man versatility, knowledge, curiosity and courage. Innos was satisfied with what he had done.

And he decided to leave mankind in the care of Adanos, and he rested. But Beliar was consumed by envy, for the people did not pray to him, but slept at night. He grew angry and created a man. A man to pray to him alone. But the man he created was like all other men. Beliar became so furious that he killed the man and spoke: If they will not worship me, then at least they shall fear me. And he created death and ended the lives of men.
