The Story of Ba’het

In The Beginning

The God of the

Burning Orb,

Eloweigh, and his

wife Phay of the

Night Glow ruled

over the empty

heavens.

Eloweigh

Phay

Ba’het

Out of Boredom Eloweigh and Phay began to stamp their heavy feet and dance, stirring up a great chaos of dust and ice. Out of this chaos a world was formed. They saw that it was beautiful and called it Ba’het.

Even with their swirling world, they felt

incomplete and lonely so they pulled a great boulder from Ba’het. They wrapped their mighty trunks around and around it. When the boulder

cracked a beautiful she-phant emerged. She had long, beautiful brown fur and eyes that

shone like crystals. Eloweigh and Phay wept at her beauty and their tears became the stars.

They called her Astrid.

A Daughter

Astrid made many dolls and played with them everyday on Ba’het. She filled their world with majestic mountains, tall trees, sparkling rivers, and deep oceans. She made Ba’het a paradise

for her playthings.

Paradise

Astrid loved her dolls so very much and Eloweigh, wanting to please his lovely daughter, breathed

life from his great trunk into all of the dolls.

They became all of the creatures that roamed Ba’het.

For the ones who shared the likeness of the Gods, Phay sang the song of culture into their ears.

They became the race of the great Mamai.

The Mamai lived in the paradise Astrid had made

for them and were the ruler of all creatures. They

multiplied and soon all of Ba’het was populated with this Majestic culture, but Astrid could not keep up with the actions of all.
