Sylvan's Domain

the four great beasts
creators of life and shapers of spirit

Contrary to common belief, the beasts did not create the world, but merely designed the many creatures who came to live in it. At first they started with the small things who writhe and crawl. Those were humble and pious, and sylvan was delighted by their many-colored chitin and elytra, but they soon became bored, and so moved on to making creatures who ran and swam.
those had amazing potential, but spent most of their lives unaware of themselves or the world around them, so the beasts taught them to dance and sing, to craft both stories and objects of beauty
and with that, the first people were born
