    Creationist theories

    Is there any canon on creationism, I assume each race has their own thoery, and does that include the the Human gods as well? In the Flan case does creation stem from Boery?

    On www.greyhawk.it, we posted an article about the creation mythology of every race and human culture...

    The only problem is that...

    Well...

    It's in Italian! Laughing

    If you wish to check... It's HERE. Confused

    Yes. There is now a "canon" creation story. It is embodied in the worship of the god Zarus and a surrounding group of myths that are set out in Races of Destiny, a fairly recent Wotc product. By my reading, YMMD, it is canon. Zarus was Oerth's "Adam" and the first "human" god.

    Alternative Myths

    Search the GREYtalk Archives. There are a few well written and thorough creation myths posted there. I found a couple of favorites regarding the elves and giants; Pelor, Beory and Nerull; and one featuring Pelor and Tharizun as creators.

    Conduct your own search of the Archives and sort through the results. You'll certainly find something you will like.

    I made a little creation myth for each of the races I submitted an article on. Such as the Dwarves of Oerth, The Gnomes Of Oerth, The Elves of Oerth, and The Trolls Of Oerth.

    While you will see similarities in parts of the creation myths you can also notice the difference each one displays as well.
