Spinners

The Spinner Religion

The First Spark

The Wheel, an almighty mystical force made of stone, has been spinning, slowly, since before all of time. Occasionally, the Wheel grinds against existence, causing change, growth, and destruction. The world as we know it began when the Wheel ground against existence for the first time and caused a spark. This spark, containing stone and magic, crafted the world.

The Second Spark

For a time, of a length unknown to any mortal being, the world contained stone and a magical darkness. The next time the Wheel ground against existence, light was created from the spark. As magic is not constant, its ebb and flow shrouds the light in the evening but recedes to its might during the day. From the power of the light, magic fused with stone to create dirt, water, and eventually plant and animal life.

The Third Spark

After another time, long enough for the plants and earth of the light to spread throughout the world, a third spark occurred. With this spark, the smallest of the three, sentient life was born. It was the fusing of magic, plant life, and worldly materials which forged the variety of races we see today.

From the stone came the dwarves, a stout race who took a liking to the rocky homes from which they were born. From the trees came the elves, a gaunt race who conquered the forests quickly. From the swamps came the goblins, a sickly race who spread like ants all around the world wherever they could. From the bushes came the halflings, a small race who settle across plains and hillsides making small towns to support their happy lives. From the dirt came the humans, a race which contains features of all the other races.

The Future Spark

As before, it cannot be known how long until the next spark will occur. Some zealots believe the spark is imminent, some conservatives believe the world will not see a spark for a thousand generations. One thing is certain, the future spark will happen, and when it does everything will change.

General Tenants/Ideologies:
 * Live fully until the end.
 * Respect the changes in the world.
 * Minor sparks lead to change, but so do your actions.
 * We are responsible for the world; it is a gift from the Wheel.
