Izáerto Bošáren Creation Myth (concept)
The Izáerto Bošáren believe in the 'Great Void' and its evil creations the 'Thousand Masters'. The Thousand Masters had the power to manipulate stars and would turn whatever living creature they touched into horrible abominations, their human slaves who toiled to create great dark shrines to them included. Humanity, as the Izáerto Bošárians tell, rose up and struck down the Thousand Masters in a horribly brutal rebellion, during which almost all of humanity died. As the Great Void turned its abyssal gaze to watch the destruction, humanity too struck the eldritch being in the mystical infinite plane from which it resided with an attack of the Thousand Master's own creation. Because of this, they claim the world is now doomed, for while darkness is banished, without darkness there can never truly be light and that all history thereafter is thus nothing besides the last pretenses of a dying world.
Finally, they also believe that the counterpoint to the Great Void is a minor deity named the 'Feathered One', a giant mystical bird with rainbow feathers from which all light reflects and gives the world color. The Feathered One swallows the souls of all dying people and lets them enter the eternal paradise within them to live in peace forever while the mortal realm dies. Most foreign observers agree their faith is ridiculous, and the often agnostic faithful normally say that the stories are mostly metaphorical but the Feathered One is truly real...
