L25.342 Before the Seas, by Anonymous - Part 6

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.

In recognizing is lack of power, Ul-Gisba sought to gain it. Like his ancestor, he began to grow a hunger for Salt, and fed himself from the Salt that broke from the thrashing of Ul-Asu and Ul-Asi. And so, as Ul-Gisba's body grew in Salt, it desired more Void in turn.

Like their parents, the First Stars were deities in themselves, few remember their names for they were flung about by Ul-Asi and Ul-Asu, several collided with one another inadvertently merging into Ul-Gisba the Deity of Fire. Unlike his parents, the Deity of Air and Deity of Water, Ul-Gisba sought to end the chaos that was wrought by the Primordial deities Ul-Asi and Ul-Asu, but understood his powerlessness as he bore only a meager portion of Salt and Void within himself.

By chance, the Deities Ul-Ubzi and Ul-Inag were born of an equal proportion of Salt and Void. Half of Ul-Ubzi's Salt spun upward, while Half of Ul-Inag's Salt spun downward in unison. From birth they hung onto their parents' bodies, crying tears of salt and void. These formed the First Stars.

Before the seas, only void and salt existed as two stones, mingling in a tenuous balance. Void sought Salt, and Salt sought void - both substances sought to consume one another, causing both Void and Salt to break apart and multiply. The first breaking of Salt and Void caused the birth of the Primordial Deities, the Deity of Time Ul-Asu and Deity of Space Ul-Asi, who both bore the likeness of colossal serpents that soared across the newborn world. Ul-Asu bore more Salt in her body, and Ul-Asi bore more Void in her body. Due to the nature of their bodies and the great hunger they felt due to the incompleteness of Salt and Void, they chased one another - Ul-Asu seeking to consume the Salt of Ul-Asi, and Ul-Asi seeking to consume the Void of Ul-Asu. In their struggle to eat one another, they bodies clashed, causing Salt to spin, unknowingly giving life to the Deity of Air Ul-Ubzi and then the Deity of Water Ul-Anag.

 A wonder of engineering constructed by the direction Master Builder Mis-Olsu who served the Throne of Sandstone, Kol-Atem who ruled the north-eastern lands near the border of Agash several centuries ago. The Kol-Atem Falls was created from the transcendent confluence of sorcery, river engineering and architecture - built to form a channel which propels boats from the Agashic Lowland to the higher altitude of the Ninur-Sinic lands, giving it the appearance of a waterfall when seen from afar. Apart from its utility, its design, proportion and placement of sculptures are highly regarded. Today, the Kol-Atem Falls remain as the most profitable toll gates owned by Ninur-Sin by many travellers and merchants who seek to expedite their journey across the land.
