Tanacātēlatani

Tanacātēlatani, also known as the creator, was the goddess of life, light, knowledge, nature, protection, luck, destiny and many other smaller portfolios. She is the creator of the Metallic dragons, the elves, dwarves, humans, gnomes, halflings, dragonborn and all celestials. She is universally honoured by all the races she created and although she has no temples to herself there are shrines in the temples of many other gods in dedication of her.

Tanacātēlatani's brother, Amatsumikubo, was jealous of his sister's creations and sought to corrupt them. The elves he turned into the drow, the dwarves into the duergar, gnomes he turned into kobolds and halflings into goblins. From men, he made the orcs. But his greatest crime in the eyes of her sister was his corruption of the dragons. He took the fairest and first of her creations and turned them into their evil opposites. The great gold dragons became red and so forth. Tanacātēlatani knew that her brother had to be stopped before he would ruin all with his poisonous touch and confronted him one day. It is unknown what exactly transpired in their meeting but it would be the start of the dawn war. A battle for the survival of all the races and dominion over the world.

It soon became apparent that Tanacātēlatani's brother was more powerful than her in combat and war. His creations, monsters tore through beings she had made not for destruction and war but for creation. With no other choice, Tanacātēlatani split herself into many different parts for her portfolio's killing herself and creating the gods that are known nowadays and some that would die in the war of merge with fragments of her brother's essence to become other creatures altogether. Known dieties created by her are:
 * Merichnus, the lawbringer
 * Illyria, guardian of the wild
 * Horas, the divine scribe
 * Durin, the world forger

The war would only come to an end after a century of bloodshed in the event what would be called the Godfall by later historians.
