Tanab, the Cosmic Wyrm

From the first spark of creation did the cosmic fires begin to spread across the infinite darkness that came before it. The wave that swept the universe and created the cosmic energies that would form the stars and their children, so too was Tanab formed. The first wyrm was born and it was made of teeth and wing and all of the elements in one.

Appearance
A dragon made of the cosmos. His form has no true substance, no scales, only the blazing energy of the elements, always in flux, changing from lightning to flame to wind to water, crackling and shining with the unfathomable energies of all creation. It is said that it sometimes roams Viru, among the mortals, in the form of a dragonborn named Elyriad, a dragonborn that is never the same color.

Myth
From the first spark of creation did the cosmic fires begin to spread across the infinite darkness that came before it. None can know where the infinite wave that swept the universe and created the cosmic energies came from. Only that from this spark came the stars and their children and so too was Tanab formed. The first wyrm was born and so it was made of teeth and wing and all of the elements in one.

Where it flew or stepped, life sprung forth. On a chance millennia, Tanab did tread upon the lands and seas of a floating rock that orbited a particularly beautiful star that Tanab did name Makara, the Sun. Tanab had spent an untold amount of lifetimes since it was born from the spark that birthed all, and it had grown bored. For as beautiful as Viru and its mother star was, they were still just rocks and fire. So Tanab did take in a great breath and let out a wave of every element across the surface of Viru. When this wave of creation faded there was a massive stone that pulsed with cosmic energy. Tanab touched the stone with its mighty claw and it cracked away, not a rock but an egg, the first child of the primal father. Tanab would name his child Balanath, but in time, the child would take on a name of his own, Godsbane.

Perhaps Tanab was the first god, perhaps not, it can not be said for sure, even from the lips of the Cosmic Serpent himself. What can be said for certain, that with life on Viru, the planet became a beacon for the other gods and so they flocked to it. More creatures were made, and Tanab allowed the Silver Queen, Chantheraea and the Boundless Dark, Nilernum, to create their own life on Viru, so long as they molded it in the shape of his own form, that of the dragon.

Quotes
''“You were created by the great beast, but you have fallen, for you have taken stock of the demiurges that now roam your world. Ask them from where they come, and if they do not answer from the breath of the great Tanab, then cast them out for they are liars in kind.”''
