"A long time ago, when the worlds were not yet created, the\n\r\
gods gathered to discuss plans for their creation. Being only\n\r\
a part of their own unreality, their viewpoints and arguments\n\r\
flowed around each other, coalescing into several competing\n\r\
factions.\n\r\n\r\
One group, whose size and power overwhelmed the others', extolled\n\r\
the virtues of responsibility and hard work. Unfortunately for\n\r\
them, they were unable to agree upon the details of managing\n\r\
and creating a world based exclusively on these principles. The\n\r\
violence of the differing drafts they spewed at each other was\n\r\
such that they disassociated from one another and left to create\n\r\
their own worlds, alone.\n\r\n\r\
The remaining gods were stunned, as much as a god can be stunned.\n\r\
They agreed that, no matter how much they disagreed, they would\n\r\
not draw absolute lines between their spheres of influence, nor\n\r\
forbid anyone's participation, whether mortal or immortal.\n\r\n\r\
So they went to work, loosely pulling together space, time,\n\r\
and emotion in a comprehensive network. They even hid entry\n\r\
points in the realms of the isolationists, so that no mortal,\n\r\
anywhere, be without respite from the dreary oppressions of\n\r\
responsibility and hard work.\n\r\n\r";
