The Observer's Celestial Chronicle (By Orecubic)

Disclaimer: "The events potrayed within this journal may not accurate and chronologically ordered. Often times it can be difficult to write every single thing down, and let alone remember the details, therefore things of course will and can be missing as I cannot always be present for the entire session. Furthermore this work will have embellishments and exaggerations to both establish narrative entertainment and relative cohesion, only limited by the perspective and thoughts of the author (me). With that in mind, I sincerely hope you enjoy reading this written work of my adventure during the event known as "Era of Civilization: Pantheon". "

Entry 1 (S1)

"

"I start this entry by observing the group who worship the “Moon”. I believe this moon religion was founded by a mortal known as Lunar_Zenith. Notable members of their entourage include, Dainty_Void, Ashen_Hazel, Lazy_ Jester. They spend their time worshiping the moon by building moon shaped shrines and statues, they believe the moon to be a God of Night. By worshiping the moon they believe that they will be spared and be granted boons of sorts. Unfortunately, their prayers all go not to the moon but rather the primordial void in which the Void God himself showed up in my face. 

My presence, I felt, was not welcome and thus I decided to move on to the next group. Nearby to the moon religion people, a river or so away is a group of people who I found to be starving. Their settlement seemed a bit lacking, but there seemed to be basic foundations for a sort of shrine or even perhaps a church. One of the mortals of the group, an individual by the name of Silent_Ruler seemed to be praying to a God of Chaos. However, they complained their prayers were unheard or uncared for. There also seemed to be a famine within this settlement, as many of the members begged and prayed for food. Eventually the “God of the Earth: Mine_God”. Silent_Ruler asked some questions and for food, in which Mine only answered the questions, for they were unable to provide sustenance to the starving mortals.

I arrived in the middle of the Ocean, upon an island there was a group of people. It was clear from the prismarine shrine that I found the followers of the “God of the Water: Exiled_ Abyss”. Apparently I stumbled upon the sudden accusation of heresy given by the water god himself, specifically to Golden_ Abyss. Golden started interrogating the other members of the group determined to find who this heretic is, and perhaps to deliver divine punishment.

And at sunset, the interrogation began. It was then that mortals happened to reveal a sort of a revelation. Somber_Night claimed that they were the “Fallen God of Day”, however some unknown even stripped them of their godhood. I am not sure what to make of this claim, whether it be true or simply mortal falsehood…. frankly I am more inclined that their claim to be false, but I cannot deny the non-existence of minor deities beyond my limited knowledge. After all I have only been present since the birth of this world's inception and the inception of the existing gods I know.

Although it seemed like Somber was the most heretical, especially with their claim…they were deemed innocent. Those who were deemed suspicious were those who didn’t attend meetings when they should’ve. More specifically that of an individual who spends most of their time fishing that night at the docks. Their name was Eternal_Night and from how Abyss was hovering over them as a shark would overshadow a fish before swallowing it whole. I believe with great certainty that they were “The Heretic”. I decided to leave the premises, because I felt my time was soon up.

You might be asking what that means and I will explain in due time. Allow me to finish off this entry by instead explaining a bit of history of the world you stand on. As far as I can remember there was an incomprehensible darkness. Then I started to see things…..tiny lights started appearing before me, what I would later learn are stars. In front of me were two “entities. One “illuminated” with a near blinding green light. The other seemed “obscured” in shadow, seemingly absorbing the green hues from the other. Shortly after this, other entities appeared next to me, and before we knew it we were seemingly transported to a place. In front of us was a star and orbiting that was what you all know as the “The World”. I looked at this world closer and in horror looked away…for there were naught but terrible monsters that roamed the surface.

"The Illuminated Being" communicated something to the others, but I was so horrified at the previous vision that I wasn’t able to listen. When I finally looked back at the rapid movements of the other entities. One of the entities moved towards the star and many violent bright flashes occurred, the star turning from yellow to an orange-red hue. When I moved towards the world, I noticed the other entities starting to change the original surface. One of the entities split the earth and raised portions of it to form mountains. Another entity with a raise of their hands rose the level of the water that washed over the surface and filled the many pits and crevices that became rivers, lakes & oceans. Clouds then started moving and some became saturated with water which fell back to the ground as rain & snow, these clouds were of course moved by an entity. Finally the illuminated one shone their green light upon the world and at once a variety of creatures, this time less horrifying appeared and spread across the surface, while "The Obscured One" tore a small chunk of the mass and allowed to orbit the world. 

Things were forever changed to what you all know and see today, and what happened to the original was wiped clean. Those entities who changed the world are what you call the Elemental Gods, for they had claimed a domain over a fundamental element. The two entities that were here before us, the illuminated one and the obscured one are the Cosmic Gods, who had a dominion over great forces of Life & Void. Finally there was me, the one writing this, you may call me “The Observer” and in due time I will explain more about myself later on. Whoever may be reading this, I hope you enjoy the journey ahead whatever may happen as I continue to observe this world….."
