The Principle of Creation

Hunched over the bench of a messy workshop, a carpenter holds their hand steady as they carefully carve an intricate design into the face of a small jewlery box. On the corner of a major crossroads, a group of performers play a jaunty tune to the delight of onlookers. In the heart of a forge, a blacksmith wipes sweat of their brow as they pound a bar of metal into the shape of a fine sword. In the depths of a library, a mage reviews their calculations, determined that this time, the spell they're designing will finally succeed.

To create is to mold the world to fit your needs and desires, and as such, this Principle guides performers and inventors, artists and farmers, and welcomes them each as equals in power. Creation is a path governed by the relationship between self and world, governed by a determination to add, shape, and change. It does not matter what you create, as long as you made it. Interestingly, this leads to many unexpected forms of worship, including the tendency for those looking to start families to seek the blessing of this Principle.

Symbology
