Clueless Delver

To sate their hunger, the Cloud Serpents descended from the clouds to eat the grains from Barley. Several of the serpent's, in their greed ate Barley in excess, and became too heavy to fly alongside Ul-Dungur, these Serpent's became Land Serpents who decided to follow Ul-Sedu instead.

Barley covered much of Ul-Ki'us' Quilt as Ul-Sedu tended to her first creation.  Inspired by Ul-Sedu, Ul-Dungur sought to fill the Clouds with her own creation - which formed the ancestral Cloud Serpents who soared the skies alongside Ul-Sedu. However, unlike Barley, which had their fill of the Void of Water from the High, and the Salt of Earth from the Low, the Cloud Serpents could only eat the Void of Water and hungered for the Salt of Earth.

The three deities Ul-Sedu, Ul-Dungur and Ul-Mar'gur lived in harmony for centuries, tending to the Quilt beneath which Ul-Ki'us slumbered, seeking to make it beautiful and peaceful as a means to not disturb the Deity of Earth's Slumber. The first creation was the grasses - the very first of which was Barley.

As Ul-Gisba and Ul-Ubzi fought, while Ul-Inag wept, the Salt and Void that was cast from the heavens soon layered into many kinds of Salts which settled onto the belly of Ul-Ki'us, forming layer upon layer upon her like a blanket which kept her slumbering.  These layers eventually joined to formed the next generation of Deities, freed from the base inclinations of their primordial ancestors. The first was Ul-Sedu, the Deity of Trees who fed on the void within the tears of Ul-Inag, alongside the Salt of the Earth.  The second was Ul-Dungu, the Deity of Clouds, who fed on the Light from Ul-Gisba's Salt, and the Void of Ul-Inag's tears.  The third was Ul-Mar'gur, the Deity of Storms who fed on the scraps of Ul-Ubzi's Void, and the Light from Ul-Gisba's Salt.

 Due to the force of Ul-Ubzi's strikes the Salt that was beaten out of Ul-Gisba spun upon a different spoke.  These fragments soon gathered to form Ul-Ki'us, the Deity of Earth.  Unlike her creators who commanded Fire and Air, Ul-Ki'us was of a slothful disposition. Though she hungered for Void as she supped on the Salt struck from Ul-Gisba, and the Salt shed from the tears of Ul-Inag, she sat unmoved.   To this day one can still hear the rumbling of her belly, when the land is violently shaken, causing the Salts of Fire to erupt from the deep. These Salts are quelled by the Salts of Air, forming the Salt of Earth.

Yet Ul-Ubzi was not easily consumed, though it was part of her left foot that was gnawed by the starving Ul-Gisba, in her fury, she let go of Ul-Asi and Ul-Asu to strike Ul-Gisba in retaliation. However, having become accustomed to eating the Stars, more of Ul-Ubzi's Void was consumed by Ul-Gisba with every strike she made, even as the Salt was knocked from his bosom.

Yet Void was not as easily gained as Salt. And Ul-Gisba suffered much in his hunger for Void. He labored to eat part of Ul-Asi and Ul-Asu in his desperation, but naught came frome it, for they were too quick and too large. Soon, he was brought to the brink and sought to eat his mother, Ul-Ubzi. And to his surprise and to his mother's horror, he had managed to eat the Void that belonged to her.
